The reason I don’t want a “Christian nation” isn’t because I’m against Christianity. It’s because I’ve studied church history and learned about the horrors caused by the church crawling into bed with the empire. The separation of church and state helps keep Christianity Christian.

Wild story. A family of asylum seekers, fearing deportation, tried to leave the United States by going to Canada. They were stopped at the exit by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and detained for THREE WEEKS in a holding cell meant for no more than 72 hour stays — then released.
The room where the family was held had two benches, a family member said through the interpreter. Montes was also authorized to speak on the family’s behalf.

“I asked the family to describe how big that cell was, and they said that if their 13-year-old laid down, he could just about reach the walls with his feet and head going both directions,” Montes said.

The family said they shared a single toilet in the cell.

“There was no way to not be seen going to the bathroom other than to simply ask the other people to turn around,” Montes said.

Mother and father slept on mats on the floor, Montes said, along with the younger children. They didn’t have adequate bedding until the mother brought back sheets from a hospital visit related to her pregnancy.

The children, Montes said, suffered from being confined for multiple weeks. The 13-year-old at one point told guards he wanted to hurt himself, and family members say guards ignored him.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...
Respondents emphasize that Abrego Garcia was improperly removed to El Sal-
vador because, although he could be removed anywhere else in the world under a
2019 order of removal, that order granted statutory withholding of removal to El Sal-
vador alone. But, while the United States concedes that removal to El Salvador was
an administrative error, see App., infra, 60a, that does not license district courts to
seize control over foreign relations, treat the Executive Branch as a subordinate dip-
lomat, and demand that the United States let a member of a foreign terrorist organ-
ization into America tonight. For starters, because MS-13 members such as Abrego
Garcia have since been designated members of a foreign terrorist organization, they
are no longer eligible for withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C. 1231(b)(3)(B). Fur-
ther, the United States has ensured that aliens removed to CECOT in El Salvador
will not be tortured, and it would not have removed any alien to El Salvador for such
detention if doing so would violate its obligations under the Convention Against Tor-
ture. Moreover, respondents treat the relief here as “routine,” Resp. C.A. Stay
Opp. 1, but that relief goes far beyond merely facilitating an alien’s return, which is
what courts have ordered in other cases. This order—and its demand to accomplish
sensitive foreign negotiations post-haste, and effectuate Abrego Garcia’s return to-
night—is unprecedented and indefensible.
