She's a lawyer she knows her rights.
If they come for her it will be fully documented and she can actually do something.
She'll be kidnapped and sent to El Salvador before she can do anything. There is no law.
That only happens to people who have nobody to speak for them, that's why immigrants are so vulnerable.
She'll have armies of lawyers covering her.
This is Rosa Parks for white lawyers who want to feel like they're doing something, good on her.
Nah, dude. The president has directly attacked law firms that have opposed him with bills of attainder via EOs. The president has directly, flagrantly, and openly flaunted court orders. The DOJ initially said deporting Kilmar was an accident; today, Miller clarified it was not an accident at all. They shouldn't have been able to put a man in prison indefinitely without due process, but they have. They shouldn't be able to lie to and ignore the courts, but they are. I am begging you to understand that the rules no longer apply, we are in a dictatorship and nobody is coming to save us. We must save ourselves.
That's money.
When you threaten a lawyers actual freedom, that's when shit gets really real.
No. Lawyers are lower case m money. They work for the upper case M money, which is who the Trump administration is bowing to. They aren't worried about lower case money, especially because the courts have shown themselves to be utterly toothless. I'm telling you, the administration is already chilling lawyers by targeting firms directly with EOs, and it's working. The lawyers are not going to save us. They're going to be standing on the sidelines with the judges yelling "but you can't do that, the rules say so!" As the Trump administration goes ahead and does it. I know because that's what happening right now.
