I wrote about the Draft MA Dems’ 2025 platform. Some commitments shine with clear links to policies. But for systematically marginalized communities, commitments are treated as aspirational instead of clear & actionable. #MAPolitics #DemConvention2025 #MassDems #MAPoli #MassDemocrats

NEW: A federal judge in Massachusetts grants a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration from deporting people to third countries without telling them where they're going and allowing them to raise fears of persecution or torture. The opening lays out the stakes.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON PLAINTIFFS’ MOTIONS FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION MURPHY, J. This case presents a simple question: before the United States forcibly sends someone to a country other than their country of origin, must that person be told where they are going and be given a chance to tell the United States that they might be killed if sent there? Defendants argue that the United States may send a deportable alien to a country not of their origin, not where an immigration judge has ordered, where they may be immediately tortured and killed, without providing that person any opportunity to tell the deporting authorities that they face grave danger or death because of such a deportation. All nine sitting justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, 1 the Assistant Solicitor General of the United States, 2 Congress, 3 common sense,4 basic decency, and this Court all disagree. Plaintiffs are seeking a limited and measured remedy—one Defendants have conceded in other proceedings is the minimum that comports with due process. 5 Plaintiffs are simply asking to be told they are going to be deported to a new country before they are taken to such a country, and be given an opportunity to explain why such a deportation will likely result in their persecution, torture, and/or death. This small modicum of process is mandated by the Constitution of the United States, and for this reason, the motion for class certification is GRANTED, and the motion for preliminary injunction is GRANTED in part.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.
