MSNBC’s Heilemann: Trump Wants to Disappear ‘Anyone,’ Not Just Immigrants

‘That even if they acknowledge that that was an error of any kind, that they are powerless to bring that person back to the country’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

HEILEMANN: “Jonathan, that is the $64 million question. I will say, this is — this is not just about immigrants who are in this country illegally, this is not just about this case. This is not just about this El Salvador. The specifics of this case, as Justice Sotomayor noted last week, the Trump Administration’s claim, legally, is that they can take anyone in the United States and disappear them to a foreign country, and that even if they acknowledge that that was an error of any kind, that they are powerless to bring that person back to the country. That’s not just about Mr. Garcia. It’s not just about illegal immigrants. It’s not about criminal illegal immigrants, it’s about everybody in the United States. Anybody is what their legal claim is, Justice Sotomayor, as I said, made this very clear last week. That’s the principle and the legal precedent that’s at stake here, and it is setting up, if there’s anything, we may or may not be in a constitutional crisis already. But if the administration continues to hew to that line, we will be in an unequivocal constitutional crisis, and I think that day is very, very close at hand.”
