Questions: Society & Politics

The other Day I was thinking about this🤔

How about if Trump was given a gold statue and a few million dollars on the condition we never see him again.

I am sure he would happily accept the offer, and although it would initially cost a little bit, it would save the country billions of dollars in the long-run, and we could start rebuilding from the damage that has been done.

The Constitution stipulates that “No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi and top White House lawyer David Warrington looked into the matter and concluded the plan is “legally permissible,” ABC News reported. They concluded that receiving the plane is above board because it is not being given to the president conditioned on an official act.

The jumbo-jet, valued at $400 million, will then potentially be transferred it to the Trump presidential library foundation as the president leaves office, sources told ABC News.

First. Illegal immigrants are humans who deserve to be treated with human rights. There's nothing wrong with arresting truly illegal people. However the law should always be followed.

In all honesty, it all just feels like another excuse the trump administration is using to hurry and rush anything they want regardless of what those actions are. Even if they're not really putting the best interest of americans first.

There's multiple factors of why this shouldn't happen, if things are being done right. As of May 11, 2025
Here's what the trump team says is happening, "we're being invaded, we need to deport 20 million illegal immigrants." "Habeas Corpus takes too long"
The facts
1. There's no evidence of the United States currently being invaded.
2. We're not having a rebellion in the United States
3. There's no civil war or any war happening in the United States
4. The United States doesn't have 20 million illegal immigrants. It's less than 12 million. unless you start turning legal u. s. citizens into illegal immigrants then you may have more.
5. Habeas Corpus process may take around 6 months to process and 10 months to be finalized. However, there's no excuse for every citizen to not have due process.

So what does suspending Habeas corpus mean for everyday americans?

1. suspension means citizens won't be able to challenge the reason for their detention in court. Or possibly not even see a judge for due process anyway because trump's team says it would take too long for Habeas corpus to be followed for every case (mostly because it would take far longer than 4 years to reach their goal legally). Regardless, every U. S. citizen deserves their due process whether a few people like it or not.

2. this move gives government authority to more freely, without court order to detain anyone they seem fit

2. you'll see, or possibly not see, a lot more cases of innocent U. S. citizens mistaken for illegal immigrants being detained and possibly deported anyway.
