Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 23/01/2026People are missing a big thing about the saga of the detained 5-year-old. When Vance calls the father an "illegal alien" it seems to reflect a little-known Trump admin move that attempts to nullify asylum claims before they are even heard. This policy is a horror: newrepublic.com/article/2056... 261922643 0
Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 23/01/2026This kid and his father entered via CBP One app. It's just absurd and monumentally unfair for people who availed themselves of lawful channels when they existed by following government processes to suddenly get detained and deported to a third country. newrepublic.com/article/2056... 131136322 0

Benj @splatterthought.bsky.social · 23/01/2026As Trump's new administration claims it was illegal for biden to grant waivers & honor asylum claims & calls them all "illegals"...

Jay W @jaydeedouble.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Also of note… one of the Venezuelans who was shipped off to CECOT also entered via a CBP One appointment, which took place after Biden’s term He was then immediately arrested, because he had a generic tattoo 0275 0

Pet Charles @petcharles.bsky.social · 23/01/2026It’s not merely unfair, it’s going to lead others to not comply with the law. Why should people follow the law when doing so only leads to bad outcomes, and when the president and his admin can’t be bothered to follow the law? 020 0

Only one of many. @crystalsoul42.bsky.social · 24/01/2026This regime rewrites laws and applies them retroactively. This is why vancie-poo considers the father to be an “illegal” alien. He’s wrong, by all standards of decency, but you have to understand the enemy to defeat it. 000 0
jasonmgunning.bsky.social @jasonmgunning.bsky.social · 24/01/2026The government doesn’t care. You get screwed if you didn’t do CBP One (which is illegal anyway) and screwed if you did. 000 0
R. Wellian @zaphod65.bsky.social · 23/01/2026unfair? it's morally depraved they are destroying peoples lives for their own amusement and flaccid desire for control, and deserve the harshest punishment our country is capable of delivering sick fucks 071 0
Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 23/01/2026It's a big deal for JD Vance to blame the left for ICE violence. It shows he's continuing to give ICE reason to believe they have impunity. There's a pattern here: Vance is taking on the role of putting a softer face on Stephen Miller's authoritarian police state. newrepublic.com/article/2056... 14606150 0
