This can happen to anyone. Why is there no widespread concern or consternation about what the 1998 movie ‘enemy of the state’ predicted to happen?

Not to mention... why don't they want to bring him back? It took awhile for them to come out with a reason so is that the real reason, or is that an excuse because he's no longer alive? Very scary either way.

Because that would demonstrate weakness and accountability. This is a trial run and they have big plans for this.

Note that the courts have blocked this and thus far been ignored.

This administration is petrified of admitting a mistake. No matter how small.

Trump wants to deport a few million people. You can’t do that while following the rule of law. The hearings and appeals take too much time and money.

This is why they’re not trying to fix mistakes. Once you set a precedent of allowing appeals everyone will want one.

Trump is using ICE to create a parallel legal system where people have no rights. This is exactly what early (1933) Nazi Germany was like.
