Let’s correct that for a sec: that had protected status from being deported, and specifically if was to be deported protected from being deported to el salvador by a 2019 court ruling that the Trump admin ignored. Everything else is immaterial, it doesnt matter if the dude ate live puppies on the atlantic city boardwalk, the Trump admin broke the law. Doesnt matter if the guy was worse than hitler, the only way to make sure the law is applied fairly to you and me is to make sure it’s applied fairly to everyone.
Yup. That point needs to be reiterated--the 2017 bill contained no provisions for those things, nor did any federal budget bill that was passed during Trump's first term. They're in the yet-to-be-passed bill still before Congress.
Exactly. And that means, in this case, that if the basis of his deportation was his criminal behavior, then the justice of the deportation is only ensured by establishing in court that he is in fact a criminal. In other words: due process, not a bare unsubstantiated claim by law enforcement.
Hmmmmm…. Ok “Mr president, no one will work in an apple factory in the USA for less than minimum wage “. Trump - “how can we reduce the minimum wage?”.
President Donald Trump escalated his trade rhetoric Friday, targeting Apple with a potential 25% tariff unless the company manufactures iPhones domestically rather than anywhere else.
The warning came via Truth Social after CEO Tim Cook announced earlier this month that Indian facilities would handle the majority of U.S. iPhone sales. Apple's pivot to India was widely seen as a strategy to sidestep Chinese manufacturing amid ongoing trade tensions.
The U.S. president brought up the issue just last week during his Middle East trip. "I had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday," Trump said during his state visit to Qatar. "He is building all over India."
Apple had reportedly planned to source all 60+ million annual US iPhone sales from India by late 2026. Meanwhile, key supplier Foxconn is investing $1.5 billion to expand Indian production, including a display module facility near Chennai.
The threat sent Apple shares tumbling 3% in pre-market trading Friday.
Trump's demand would force a major shift from Apple's current manufacturing strategy, which relies heavily on Asian suppliers for cost efficiency and established supply chains. Moving iPhone production to the U.S. would likely require massive infrastructure investments and could substantially increase device costs, but there's simply no way Apple could pull off the transition. According to Wedbush, producing iPhones in the U.S. could push prices to ~$3,500 and take 5–10 years to implement, making it unfeasible.

Fun fact btw: that “investigation” that kinda kicked things off for this dude, that unsubstantiated claim, the ties to MS13 claim that turned out to be a nothingburger? That cop was, literally a week later, removed from duty for “providing information to a commercial sex worker who he was paying in exchange for sexual acts,”
His family’s pupusa restaurant was being threatened by organized crime, something you’d know if you had actually read about this case instead of regurgitating Trump’s lies
That’s literally the problem. The only way to guarantee rights for everyone is to, well, guarantee rights for everyone. Otherwise the cops just say you’re a bad guy and haul you off and that’s it. He has rights because that’s the only way things work for anyone having rights at all. Also it’s not rights he thinks he has, it’s literally rights he has, period.
I’m standing up for his rights, not him. Either this is a difficult concept for you or you’re deliberately misunderstanding, either way you’re not demonstrating comprehension, so let’s try this again: he has rights, no matter if he’s a crappy dude or not. It’s really that simple
No court has actually established that, that’s your opinion but we dont just send people to permanent horrific conditions because you dont like them
And protected from deportation under a court order
Who is under credible threat from group in ES, which is why again he was protected by a court order from being sent back there, which is directly inline with US law for deportation and avoiding directly and deliberately placing those that are deported in harm’s way
Legally they cant. Also, technically, they dont really now. Technically speaking the prisoners Trump deported to CECOT are still US prisoners that the Trump admin is paying El Salvador to lock up. Fun fact btw, even el salvador found the threats to this dude’s safety credible, and the idea that he’s a member of MS13 not credible, and thus moved him to a protected unit in CECOT.
That’s a worldwide phenomenon, and we outperformed the world. Trump’s was totally policy driven and self-inflicted to favor the wealthiest. Thank you, but I didn’t ask for the tax cut at the expense of everyone else. I wanted 2017 tax reform that would simplify the tax code and eliminate loopholes and cheats, while encouraging corporate repatriating. You need to understand the difference in the argument…inflation wasn’t the result of policy, but Trump’s tax increase directly was.
Trump can’t give a scripted speech. He has the attention span of a 50 year old in their first hour after a colonoscopy. I don’t get the fascination with prepared speeches and whatnot. I was a Bush fan, I was a McCain fan, I was an Obama fan, I was a Romney fan, I voted for Trump 1, I voted for Biden, and I voted Harris. There’s only one vote I regret, and that’s the man that embarrassed me and has destroyed the Republican Party. Some of those candidates were old, some were young, some dynamic, some stumbled. Only one couldn’t speak two sentences without making **** up and lying.
forget about gang members, trump has already moved on to American citizens in Alabama: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino...on-raid-real-id-handcuffed-alabama-rcna208794
No, they didn't. That is a flat out lie. I also want to point out that it’s technically libel and slander because of that and MR’s could be liable for that, so careful what you bring down here.
No, no judges actually found him likely to be a member of MS13 after review of his case. But backpeddle faster why dont you
I'm showing cause and effect. And that trump is a poor business man. Coke is leaving because they can't afford the tariffs on aluminum, sugar and shifting the tariffs on to American stores that import the drinks.
At least your terms are only 4 years and not 5 like ours 😳The dumpy dictatorship is full steam ahead with stupidity, and we still have 3-1/2 years to go!
