But this is about summary removal. This is how can we get people out of here in as great numbers as possible, as quickly as possible. I think that's the goal. And then they'll start including other people into whatever category they deem as the enemy.

I think sending U.S. citizens abroad to rot in a gulag would be blatantly unconstitutional. There is something called the Non-Detention Act, and it says that no citizen can be imprisoned or otherwise detained except pursuant to an act of Congress.

So this is the thing. I think the thing is, if it's we just whisk people off, then at that point, it's over. It's game over. And yes, listen, if they can cut the judicial branch out of this, which is what the Bush administration tried to do, if you can't even get your foot in the door to have the executive branch justify

the reason that they've designated you as a terrorist, as an enemy, before they ship you out, then absolutely. We're in 1973 Chile. From there to black vans showing up in the middle of the night and rounding you up and you get disappeared.

Listen, our Constitution has one remedy for this, which is impeachment. I mean, this requires political will. It requires a certain consensus that this is unacceptable, that we are beyond the pale, that this is extra-constitutional, that this person is abusing their power, that they are violating their oath, they're violating all kinds of laws.

But, I mean, I think, to me, the constitutional crisis is not... It is the defiance of the judicial branch, but it is as much Congress's failure to act in this situation, whether it's to step up and claw back some of these delegated authorities, to stop the national emergency that he's using for other things, or to take that final step and say this is a step too far.

I mean, I think we are in impeachment territory right now. These are impeachable offenses. This is a deprivation of rights. In my opinion, what you saw between Trump and Bukele yesterday was a criminal conspiracy to deprive people of their rights. It's an agreement to commit a crime.

It is a crime to deprive people of their rights under the Constitution or the laws of the United States under color of law. That's exactly what he was saying that he was going to do. We know that he can't be held criminally liable for that. Because he's doing these as official acts, and the Supreme Court has said that those are beyond the purview of Congress to criminalize. What's left?

It's a broken power if we no longer have shared values that transcend our partisan affiliation.
