If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks canât be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until theyâre 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful. https://buff.ly/Gm3yIpI

@arimelber, you should not be surprised that Donald Trump is in Florida playing golf with the Saudis while the country is going through its worst economic crisis since probably 1929, and four U.S. servicemen's bodies were returned to Dover. Trump is and always has been all about himself.
@AriMelber, it is amazing how many Republicans in Congress are now saying tariffs are bad.
Despite what I said above, in the words of @mallorymcmorrow, no one is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves.
@brhodes @nicolledwallace, we do not have to wait three and half years. All we need is a GOP caucus in Congress with a spine. He has been impeached twice, so it can be done again.
@nicolledwallace, Amazingly, folks are surprised at the actions of Donald Trump, a person whose only success in life was to be miscast as a businessman on a TV show. I blame @SenMcConnell and his GOP caucus. They are still doing nothing.
