When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Q: "A 75 year old Cuban national died in ICE custody. He had lived in the U.S. for 60 years...Is there anything you can tell us about that?" Border Czar Tom Homan: "People die in ICE custody. People die in county jails. People die in state prisons."

Yes, it is! Pancreatic cancer here, getting chemo every 2 weeks until it doesn't work anymore. But it is a miracle that I'm still alive 2 1/2 years after diagnosis!

Disappearing people to avoid the jurisdiction of the court in which they were taken by the state is authoritarian to the core and runs afoul of the spirit of Article III, the Due Process Clause, and the principles that emerged from the Glorious Revolution and the American Revolution. Arbitrary rule.

The whole world now feels this way toward us, TBH.
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan
). The post reads: "HAHA, folks in Greenland are making these hats go viral ahead of Usha Vance’s visit there. I LOVE THIS!!! " Below the text, there is an image of a red baseball cap being held by a hand. The cap has the text "MAKE AMERICA GO AWAY" written on it in white letters, along with a small circular logo on the side that appears to be the Greenland flag.
