Summary

Immigration officials detained a US citizen for nearly 10 days in Arizona, according to court records and press reports.

On 8 April, a border patrol official found Hermosillo “without the proper immigration documents” and claimed that the young American had admitted entering the US illegally from Mexico.

On 17 April, a federal judge dismissed his case. “He did say he was a US citizen, but they didn’t believe him.”

“Under the Trump administration’s theory of the law, the government could have banished this U.S. citizen to a Salvadoran prison then refused to do anything to bring him back,” Mark Joseph Stern, a legal analyst for Slate, wrote on Bluesky. “This is why the Constitution guarantees due process to all. Could it be more obvious?”

      A fascist is an advocate or follower of the political philosophy or system of fascism.

      A janitor is a person whose job is to clean and maintain a building or property.

      A janitor can be a fascist but they can also just be a janitor.

      If you want to claim that any level of culpability makes a person a fascist then I’d say if you’re American and of voting age you’re a fascist because you have culpability in what’s happening right now. If you’re a user of any American corporate product where that corporation contributed to the current administration then you’re a fascist because you have culpability.

          And oh yeah, I totally have so much power as an individual to drive the piss ass politics in a country of 330 million.

          Maybe your knowledge of Nazi Germany is lacking, because not everyone was a fascist there either

          Would you say you’re taking issue with someone making a broad, generalized statement about a group of people based on one commonality?
