A rather whimsical aside on the Niemoller quote....

The international law

The international law violations seem (for reasons not immediately obvious to me....) to raise a special sensitivity in the ruling class, as exemplified by the ~~vigorous pushback~~ blackmail that the spectre of Palestinian complaints to the UN vis-a-vis US relocation of the embassy, etc. aroused,

This whole situation is maddening because there are so many direct violations of international law. Denying asylum being at the top of the list.

The established of "detention centers" on military bases is more than troubling, and so is the outsourcing to private corrections corporations.

The specter that floats before my eyes is that Trump will ultimately attempt to put "traitors" in such camps. At this point, those traitors include all elected Democrats amd everyone who does not vehemently support him. No questions or criticisms allowed.

Of course, the whole weapoonization of port of entry delay relies upon an illegal refusal to accept asylum petitions at other locations, which Trump touts today as a feature of his war on refugees (which will include adopting the odious Israeli practice of responding to stone throwers with rifle fire, once he replaces Mattis with Steven Miller as Secdef.)

For an historical precedent of terrifyingly recent vintage (and a very local one at that) the Domenican Republic reached back in 2005 to deracinate 250,000 putative citizens by redefining what it means for one's parents to be "in transit" at the time a child was born on Dominican soil to a non Dominican mother.

Dominican court ruling renders hundreds of thousands stateless
