A few key excerpts from a Reagan appointed appeals court judge on Trump illegally sending Garcia to the El Salvador gulags. I think there are many elements that bitcoiners who claim to care about freedom should be absolutely horrified by.

It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order.

that there is nothing that can be done.

This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear

The Executive possesses enormous powers to prosecute and to deport, but with powers come restraints.
