I've been unable to get the "mistaken" deportation thing out of my head all night. Everywhere I look it's either people articulating how bad it is, or goblins gloating about it. idk man, I know I'm underselling it but it's extremely terrible

iirc, the attorney who conceded that it was error was apparently a career staff attorney who has since been fired

To make matters worse, he and members of his team have been floating using this disappearing act on actual citizens.

If it turned out he was already dead and they were stalling as cover, that'd be so fucking bad, they'd all be complicit. Either way, they are willing to throw this man's life away and destroy his family rather than concede an inch on their apparently unrestricted power to disappear people with no due process.

Should disinformation be protected by the 1st Amendment?
Raptorpat replied to _lost_username_'s topic in General Discussion
I'm just sitting here and thinking to myself, not sure how you would draw anything but a fairly conservative line on how to legally distinguish it. To the extend that it's a "I know it when I see it" that entails a lot of subjectivity, I feel like the only reasonable line is probably similar to defamation where you have to litigate the absolute truth and the intended harm etc. which is a high bar and an even higher bar when you're talking about the enhanced speech rights that media and politicians have (in the context of defamation).- 35 replies
