None of those detainees at Guantanamo ever had any even one-time right to go into court and contest the allegations against them, that they were part of terrorist organizations, that they had participated in. in Al Qaeda or any attacks on anyone. And as it turns out, a lot of them, even the US government admits, were actually innocent.

That's why we ended up letting them go in so many cases, because they actually were not terrorists. They were not part of members of terrorist organizations, and yet they were snatched away from their countries, brought to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, put in very repressive conditions, treated quite brutally. And I understand that in wartime, some of those things are going to happen.

You, you know, are going to bomb someplace where a lot of the enemy combatants are, and you're going to end up killing a lot of civilians. And of course, you're going to end up imprisoning some people unjustly. But I think we have to be very careful for that reason about when we really declare something as a war and when we don't precisely because the powers of the government escalate dramatically.

Are we really at war with these gangs or are these gangs more like horrific and violent criminals. And I think one of the things we have to realize is that human institutions, by definition, are going to make mistakes and are going to err. And these are not people just being deported, which would be fine if they were sent back to their countries of origin.

They're being put into a prison that is probably five times worse than Guantanamo in El Salvador. And if some of them are not actually gang members and there's no opportunity for them to contest the charges against them, You have to say that is an unjust outcome.

Except there were a lot of times in every Democratic presidency, including Joe Biden's, when conservatives went into a district court to argue that Joe Biden was extending his powers under the Constitution, like when they were forcing big tech companies to censor American citizens.
