The Outlaw’s Blanket is a false narrative that less documented immigrants, criminals one and all, are being deported and we have no moral or legal obligation to their subsequent human rights. These are “outlaw narratives” because the law assures one is not formally an outlaw before due process which in the deportation practices of this country is far too often not being provided or coercion is used to force concessions.  The courts, the custodians of due process, are being ignored.  Ignoring the courts orders is a crime. This writer is pretty sure the Supreme Court has not ruled a President can simply ignore the law.  If this new future Congress wants accountability in the country again they need to start as priority number one with whats is happening under the Outlaw’s Blankets. The Department of War soap opera can wait.

I will quote from a New York Times Investigation article written by Megha Rajagopalan: “The Times identified more than 110 people who had court-ordered protections and were handed over to foreign governments, only to then be passed on to home countries where they risked torture, sexual abuse or persecution — risks that have been validated by American courts.” Again, how can this be anything but a crime against humanity occurring with the blessing of our President and DOJ. Surely, no Supreme Court justice could support this without erasing the authority of the Supreme Court and ceding it to one man.  Plane loads of people who We the People know nothing about are being shipped against their agency and will without due process to countries they may know nothing about or to home countries where their lives are in immediate danger.

Urgent Suggestion for Good

I hope this new Congress treats this as the first priority of this country.  We are living in shame.  “This is not us” as the midterms shouted out with a roar.  Congress:  we need new immigration law and policies passed. This administration’s policy of “see no evil” is not a defense.  We need the language in place even if this lame duck vetoes it.  These crimes cannot stand or pass unnoticed. Please identify the crime and let the boring wheels of justice grind up the power of the perpetrators. Yes, it is understood that justice, in order to address accountability, must start back well within that temple of justice itself.  That would be good.
