A recent letter to the editor from Max Clark (Journal, May 21) solicited views regarding present deportation practices and their constitutionality.
For this liberal, it’s those long flights to places like South Sudan with no idea who’s being imprisoned, and for what, that scream, unconstitutional. There was another dictator in Argentina who took to placing “troublemakers” including nuns on a special cargo plane and pushed them out of the aircraft to their deaths in the Atlantic Ocean. Our dictator, who was fairly elected in 2024, is molded with that same sick sense of authority and “justice.”
Before the plane leaves the runway in the Land of the Free on a nonstop flight to hell, why can’t Americans just be sure those on board had some kind of due process? Our country guarantees that all people, whether here legally or not, are due a process of fairness in both procedure and rights and protection against arbitrary government actions that deprive a person of life, liberty or property. It’s in the constitution.
When will our dictator decide to give folks like Liz Cheney or even me a plane ride? Our dictator ignores the boundaries of the rules for his own criminal satisfaction.
Remember, he once asked his military general if we could just shoot protesting troublemakers in the legs. No Sherlock, it’s about the constitution. (Your vice president has a copy in his suit pocket.)
