Mary Rooke writes for the Daily Caller about a “fatal mistake” from Democrats opposing the Trump administration.
Democrats spent the weekend destroying the last remaining credibility the party had with the American people.
On Saturday, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg tried to block the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador, where they will serve prison sentences for gang activity. Boasber, a rogue Obama-appointed judge most famous for signing FISA warrants to spy on President Donald Trump and overseeing the Clinton email scandal, ordered Trump to return a plane filled with MS-13 and Tren de Aragua criminals back to the U.S.
The Trump administration ignored the order since the flight was already over international waters. El Salvador President Nayib Bukele confirmed that over 250 Venezuelan gang members had been received by his government and sent to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center.
This should have been a victory that all Americans celebrated. Instead, Democrats denounced the move, spending the weekend attempting to humanize the thugs who are part of a criminal organization responsible for murdering Americans and destroying the neighborhoods of working-class voters.
American University Washington College of Law professor Rebecca Hamilton was one such leftist who took to X to sympathize with the murders, rapists, and thugs over her fellow citizens.
“It is important to be very clear. The people you see in this photo have not had any due process whatsoever between being uprooted from their lives [and] families in the U.S. and finding themselves now in CECOT prison in El Salvador,” Hamilton wrote, including a picture of Venezuelan gang members being processed into the prison.
Brendan Nyhan, Dartmouth political scientist and co-director at left-wing “democracy watch organization Bright Line Watch, joined Hamilton, claiming that a video posted of the deportations was “fascist propaganda.”
Democrat Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy called Trump’s decision to defy Boasberg’s order and continue with the deportation flight “[a]nother unconstitutional power grab by Trump.”
