Trump Admin to Supreme Court—“We Can Kidnap You, Ship You Overseas, and There’s Nothing You Can Do”

Trump Admin to Supreme Court—“We Can Kidnap You, Ship You Overseas, and There’s Nothing You Can Do”

While everyone was busy rage-scrolling TikTok and arguing about Bud Light, the Trump administration’s legal team just casually told the Supreme Court: “We can arrest anyone, at any time, for any reason, and ship them off to Venezuela—no judge, no jury, no jurisdiction.”

Yes, really.

This isn’t a rejected script for a dystopian Netflix series. This was the actual U.S. Solicitor General arguing that the government can detain both citizens and non-citizens, send them to a prison outside of U.S. soil, and that the courts have zero authority to intervene.

In plain English: they just asked the highest court in the land to bless international blacksite prisons.

And just so we’re clear—this wasn’t about some wartime combatant in a far-off desert. The scenario was domestic. Arrest anyone. Anytime. For anything. Ship them out. No oversight.

Sound familiar? Because it should. This is straight out of Project 2025, the political manifesto drafted by white Christian nationalists who think checks and balances are just pesky speed bumps on the highway to authoritarianism.

Remember when people warned Trump wants to be Putin or Kim Jong Un? They weren’t being dramatic. They were being early.

And now his lawyers are saying it out loud, in court, in daylight, while half the country is still arguing about gas prices and tipflation.

Here’s a fun thought experiment: if Biden’s DOJ argued they could send people to Cuba without trial, how fast would Fox News start playing the Star-Spangled Banner at half-speed while screaming "tyranny"?

But because it’s Trump, and the plan is targeting immigrants today—with you maybe tomorrow—it’s crickets.

So here’s the slippery slope recap:

Arrest anyone (check)

No reason needed (check)

Ship them to a foreign country (check)

No court oversight (double check)

Google it. It happened.

But sure, let’s keep yelling about Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl.
