So he’s proud of the fact that they started enforcing the order with no idea of how it was supposed to work, and may eventually get their sh*t together to enforce it as it was written. And even further down the line may be able to comply with existing law and with the Constitution, but he’s not sure.
This is like those software companies that release the alpha version and take people’s money. Only with lives.

Leave the comedy to the ones are intelligent, FatherDearest.

So here’s a question it seems nobody in Congress is interested in asking:
When the EO came out, CPB agents began presenting documents to arriving immigrants who HAD all the paperwork they needed for entry and telling them they had to sign it. The documents were statements that the immigrant was waiving their right to enter the country AND promising not to come back.
Where the hell did that come from? Only thing I can think of was that some agents (many of home are fervent Trump supporters) created it out of whole cloth. I can’t imagine they had drafts of the stuff sent to them from agency heads because the agency heads clearly had virtually no specifics about the Executive Order and how to enforce it. But somehow they decided that getting them to sign waivers of their clear rights was in order.
According to media reports, they told some immigrants they had to sign it to get out of custody. In some cases they demanded it be sighned when the immigrant’s lack of English fluency meant they didn’t know what they were signing. In other cases, reportedly, they were asked to write their signatyure only, much like a credit card machine signing, only to learn that they had signed the document.
This isn’t a country of law. It is rule by the Gestapo and the CBP appears to be the first of the storm troopers. Be very afraid.
"We issued written guidance to our field,”
FOIA that shit. Did it say “deny them representation”, “detain 5 year olds”, “bully them into signing waivers of their immigration rights” and “manhandle them back onto planes to the middle east”???
No way. Only thing that makes sense is that it was coordinated secretly with Bannon’s henchmen.
Agreed. It’s only going ot get worse before it gets any better, so buckle up.
that said “It is our opinion that people handcuffed and terrorized will only view this as an inconvenience.”
If the order had been legal, the courts wouldn’t have had to act.
Kevin McAleenan also complained that processing was held up by the EPA objecting to the use of Zyklon-B as potentially harmful to human health.
You’ve got a good point. The nice thing is that even in Trumpville printed documents have a provenance. Eventualy, if there is an eventually, the folks who figured out that unlawful tactic will be outed.
Darn those judges for insisting that we stop doing illegal actions. I mean, who do they think they are?
and promoted?
