Van Hollen: „Ich verteidige den Mann nicht, ich verteidige die Rechte dieses Mannes auf ordnungsgemäßes Verfahren“

>“I am not defending the man. I’m defending the rights of this man to due process,” Van Hollen told ABC News‘ “This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl on Sunday. “And the Trump administration has admitted in court that he was wrongfully detained and wrongfully deported. My mission and my purpose is to make sure that we uphold the rule of law, because if we take it away from him, we do jeopardize it for everybody else.”

You can be against him and still respect our constitution and right of due process. It’s a constitutional right. Not that fucking hard.

None of those folks got due process. Personalizing it with one person is smart salesmanship, but the battle over rights is much bigger.

Well spoken

That’s what magats don’t understand because they have no empathy. Nor do they actually believe in the Constitution.

Thank you Senator, now there are two whole US Senators that have actually stood up and done something to push back against fascism.

Bernie throwing rally’s like a rock star, urging people to be angry and fight back. And Now Van Hollen. And all he had to do was show up as one the 100 most powerful elected officials in the US to do it. If every Democrat were to adopt one of these poor bastards that had their due process withheld from them, and to make a ton of noise and push into the media to yell about it, they’d all be back to the US getting their day in court. But yet….we have two guys at this point.

I live in Vermont, rabidly support Bernie, and called Senator Welch’s office to demand more action from him. Demanded that he step forward as a protector of our democracy and to be urgent about it and to get out there!

I urge you all to make the same calls to your senators and representatives, let them know where you stand and what you expect from them. They will get it together with enough push back from us.

This should be the point being screamed from everyone. It doesn’t matter if he is or isn’t a gang member. It doesn’t matter if he does it doesn’t have a criminal record. He has the right to due process and a speedy trial. That’s the system of justice we have and no one is allowed to circumvent it.

Once Trump shared a photoshopped photo of Albrego Garcia’s hands with fake MS13 tattooed on them, I began to assume that he’s never coming back.

The fact that Van Hollen needs to clarify the difference is why Trump, his ass kissers, and maga voters are a complete waste of otherwise potentially useful organs…

That IS exactly the crux of the situation. Trump and his MAGA mouths (eg Karoline Leavitt, Marco Rubio, etc.) just keep throwing more alleged (but unproven) horrors into the mix, but the issue is that all those deportees should have received a Court hearing and legal representation. The only deportees being sent to CECOT should be those sentenced in an American Court to life-in-prison who could not be returned to their home country. Trump/Rubio secured a deal with Bukele, and like a new toy, they we’re overeager to try it out! Offshore Concentration Camps – wahoo!

Yeah you can not like the person but still want them to be treated with basic decency and have their human rights respected

It’s always about the cruelty.

Everyone in the country is given the right to due process. This includes people here illegally. That’s it. Cannot be more clear.

Don’t let them attempt to change the narrative to legal status or criminal status. *It does not matter*. A criminal gets due process. Murderers, sex offenders, pedophiles, insurrectionists. All have that right. A person on vacation here who shoots someone is given due process here in the United States, not kidnapped and sent to a death camp overseas.

But they don’t care about that because they don’t think these people deserve due process. Due process = humane and fair. That’s just not good enough for them. They want cruelty. Always have.

It’s funny how MAGA was all into due process rights for DJT and the J6 terrorists but they are stunningly ignorant about anyone 🟤 else’s rights to due process….

He is defending the Constitution and human rights while Republicans scream that he’s siding with an MS13 gang member. Who, by the way, they have zero evidence still on that. He has NO criminal record. The one thing they’re using is the tattoo, which is a far reach conspiracy theory.

The tattoo with the symbols could just as easily mean the guy likes marijuana, feeling disoriented, loves Jesus, and he’s honoring his deceased loved ones.

It’s wild to me that they got MS-13 from the symbols, but if you’re constantly living in a fake reality, you’ve got to exhaust every avenue to continue living there.

It’s crazy how many people try to ignore that due process is a constitutional right. Yet they seem to be the ones always calling themselves „patriots“.

This is why it’s hard to have political discussion in America because we can’t even agree on basic statements. There is no compromise to due process or equal rights

This is not controversial. Due process has been the foundation of western civilization since the Magna Carta in 1215. It certainly has roots reaching back much farther.

I think a lot of people are missing the point. It’s not about if the man is a criminal or not.

It’s about the rule of law, human rights, and following the constitution, not a man.

If the man is a criminal, that is up to a court to decide using evidence and applying a verdict that adheres to the guidelines of the law and our constitution.

Exactly which is why we need to bring them ALL back not just Kilmar. Give them all due process
