#extraordinaryrendition — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #extraordinaryrendition, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Meanwhile the main story on Cheney's death in the #Guardian by George Chidi waits until the 11th paragraph before mentioning his crimes, with only the terms 'condemnation'/'controversial' inserted into the headline/subheading hinting at a different story to the ten paragraphs of tributes the article begins with.

    And even then, the article makes it sound like criticism was only from some his (US) political 'enemies' on the 'left' plus some disgruntled Trump supporters who resented Cheney's rejection of Trump in his final years, in both cases framing their criticisms of his war crimes as politically motivated (and thus implicitly suspect).

    Altogether, there are ten positive quotes (364 words of direct quotes) sandwiched around four critical ones (145 words). The latter are interrupted to correct factual errors and framed as either 'lingering' resentments from decades-old political disagreements or as the (unreliable) opinions of a pair of far-right conspiracists and convicted liars.

    The sum of Cheney's actual crimes are told thus: "Cheney’s role in the Iraq war, programs of torture and extraordinary rendition and the rightward tilt of Republican politics".

    Shameful reporting.

  2. This is FUCKING INSANE. Sending even "convicted criminals" to a country not of their origin as prisoners *just because* it's a terrible place is NOT #deportation. It's #extraordinaryrendition and even if it's technically legal, it's ethically unacceptable regardless of what their "crimes" were. #immigration #resist

  3. #SCOTUS makes clear AGAIN that the #Trump admin cannot just throw people onto planes with little to no notice. Those subject to the #AlienEnemiesAct MUST be given time to contact a lawyer, file a #habeas lawsuit, & pursue the case. IOW #DueProcess.

    Anything less is illegal.

  4. #SCOTUS issues a direct rebuke to the #Trump admin's practice of ushering people onto planes: "Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster."

  5. The #Trump admin earlier this year urged #Ukraine’s govt to accept an unspecified number of US deportees who are #citizens of other countries, acc/to documents reviewed by WaPo, an extraordinary request of a nation at #war & dependent on American #military & #financial support for its #survival.

  6. Holy freaking hell

    I mean…

    #Trump team urged #Ukraine to take #US deportees amid war, documents show
The extraordinary request illustrates the admin’s aggressive bid to identify willing partners who will accept people expelled by the US.

  7. @nedhamson1 Who would’ve guessed the Conservative plan was to swap out the profitable penitentiary system? Imagine an even more profitable international programme to rip off tax payers to create concentration camps, so oligarchs don’t feel threatened. #ExtraordinaryRendition #FascistExtraditionTreaties

  8. Lawyers representing the father of the 2-yr-old #UScitizen who was deported, identified as V.M.L. in court documents, filed an emergency petition in the Western District of Louisiana on Thurs seeking her release. The child was put on a plane to #Honduras the next morning before the court opened.

  9. The #Trump admin’s hurried effort to deport more alleged Venezuelan gang members under the rarely used #AlienEnemiesAct is in defiance of a #SCOTUS order that detainees must be given "reasonable time" to combat the allegations against them, acc/to a court filing obtained by NBC News.

  10. Man, #DHS General Counsel Joe Mazzara is so screwed. He’s going to be their fall guy. Though of course Trump will pardon him. But still, he’s signed “under penalty of perjury” several of these affidavits. He better be disbarred.

  11. New from Judge #Xinis’ docket:

    The #Trump #DOJ court ordered daily update on #KilmarAbregoGarcia says that it has “no further updates” on their efforts to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return.

    Yeah. We know. Listen to Senator #VanHollen’s statement, you jagoffs didn’t even ask the US embassy in #ElSalvador TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL!!!!

  12. The #Trump admin continues spreading #disinformation & #lies about #KilmarAbregoGarcia.

    Here is an example that illustrates #TimothySnyder’s point about language & dehumanization perfectly from the official social media account of the #UnitedStates Department of Homeland Security:

  13. Senator #VanHollen Announces Departure for #ElSalvador Tomorrow Morning

    "Following his abduction & unlawful deportation, US federal courts have ordered the safe return of my constituent #KilmarAbregoGarcia to the United States.“

  14. 🚨🚨🚨 This should end the BS debate about who has the authority to get #KilmarAbregoGarcia out of #ElSalvador!

    Judge #Xinis Tue’s order cites text in the written agreement with El Salvador showing #US control:

    The detainees are kept in CECOT “pending the United States’ decision on their long-term disposition.”

    #Trump et al are so freaking full of crap!

  15. Judge #Xinis’ full official order in which she says the government’s definition of “facilitate“ doesn’t make sense, particularly in the context of her ruling & #SCOTUS’.

    “Thus, Defendants' attempt to skirt this issue by redefining 'facilitate' runs contrary to law & logic.”

  16. Last night, US Judge Sweeney in Colorado granted a district-wide (state-wide) class #habeas #TRO to stop #Trump from summarily removing *aliens* under his #AlienEnemiesAct proclamation. #ACLU attys had warned that, despite #SCOTUS ruling, Admin won't commit to providing even 24 hrs notice.

  17. Tomorrow, Tues, April 15, at 4:00 PM ET, Judge #Xinis will be hearing a “Status Conference” on #KilmarAbregoGarcia et al v. Noem et al.

    It’ll be interesting to hear how she responds to the #Trump admin’s latest filing. She has been very plainspoken in her assessment of the #DOJ’s claims.

  18. Via Nathan Kalman-Lamb

    One of hundreds of people abducted by #ICE & sold to slavery in #ElSalvador was a 19 yr old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela & no tattoos of any kind.

    An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

    The other said, "Take him anyway."

    So they did.

  19. This is absolutely terrifying.

    Before press came in — but while live feed was running on #Bukele’s feed — #Trump said to him: “home-grown criminals are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

  20. #Bukele says he doesn’t have the authority. #Trump says he doesn’t have the authority. Trump also says even #SCOTUS is not permitted to decide the matter. Who the fuck do these guys think does have the authority?

    Absolute nonsense. Total liars. It’s all bullshit.

  21. The US President wants to send #UnitedStates #citizens to #ElSalvador’s #HumanRights violating #CECOT. I’m guessing they won’t get #DueProcess either. We’ll just have to take #Trump’s word that they’re criminals.

    Reporter: You mentioned you're open to deporting individuals that aren't foreign aliens but are *criminals* to El Salvador. Does that include US citizens?

    Trump: If they are criminals…, yeah. Yeah. That includes them. I'm all for it.

  22. #MaksymChernyak, 1 of 3 people to die at the facility since last Oct, was brought to Krome on Feb 2 & taken to a hospital just 2 wks later, after he began vomiting & having seizures, acc/to #ICE. The #Miami-Dade County ME said he died of "Complications of Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage" (AKA a stroke).

  23. WTAF??

    The #Trump admin says in its #SCOTUS filing requesting a stay of #Boasberg’s #AlienEnemiesAct #TRO that it can't confirm or deny whether #ElSalvador is complying with #UNCAT [#UnitedNations Convention Against #Torture] because doing so might damage its relationship with El Salvador.

    AYFKM???

  24. inchiodare gli agenti #CIA responsabili dell'#extraordinaryRendition di #AbuOmar fu possibile grazie a 3 fattori:
    1) magistrati come #Pomarici,#Spataro e loro polizia giudiziaria
    2) indipendenza dei PM italiani
    3) metadati telefoni e tecnologie come The Analyst Notebook
