Dixon, who’s had legal permanent status in the U.S. for 50 years, had been in ICE custody since late February, when she was detained after coming back from a visit to the Philippines.

Maybe other countries should have "reciprocal" detention and deportation of U.S. citizens, until Trump comes begging for a mutual travel agreement.

    Please no, many of us are seeking to escape the hostile totalitarian government that wants to kill us

    And you're so welcome. Americans that actually leave north and central America are a hoot! And if my friendship group is a statistical basis, thre's an 80% chance they decide to just never go back to the US.

    I already decided I'm not going back if I can help it. My new home feels like an upgrade, and the locals are happy to have me here.

    If the US ever fixes its shit, I'll return every now and then to visit my loved ones, but I'm not holding my breath.

    That would result in many/most Americans likely returning to US soil. trump would be quite happy with all American citizens forced back inside our borders. That means those that oppose him are easier to oppress/silence.

    Proper procedure is to send anyone with a tattoo to El Salvador, if I understand correctly. "In a heartbeat", I think was the essence of due process. It was looked into by Trump and his team and they went ahead with it, so it must be legal. Anyone who doesn't want to be oppressed in the US can just get a tattoo. It seems to work.

    My understanding is that that is the old guidance. If you don't have a tattoo, they'll simply claim you do and when badgered for evidence they'll pull out a sharpie and mark up a photo of you to crudely indicate you have a tattoo.
