For those under suspicion as threats to national security? Absolutely. Hell, that probably extends to citizens as well.

Do Dems have the balls to prosecute? That's the question.
There are literally different government agencies contradicting and apparently trying to overpower one another, this is complete chaos.

How can they? You need a House majority to trigger impeachment.
To be fair, it looks like she hasn't slept in months, either.
(Not commenting on her looks, only her appearance.)

Only Republicans have that power.

They can't..
The question is actually if enough republicans in the house would vote for an impeachment. I wouldn't think more than a handful would.
Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't that a different thing? Like there is already a warrant and the people are already suspects in a case? So it's more about arresting and sending to trial than denying entry?

My now Wife and I went through similar and agree. It's really not an 'easy' process. Lots of documents, exams, money, interviews, etc. It took us months and like your wife, my wife also isn't from any of the now banned nations. Heck when we went into our interview we saw plenty of people turned away, people who'd gone through the entire process up to the interview, just to be turned away at the final step with near zero chance to appeal.
The immigration process has never been easy, quick, or inattentive. They're extremely thorough in this stuff to the point where more people deserving of visas are turned away than the number of bad apples who do somehow manage to get through.

Not necessarily, you are a citizen, you are automatically a permanent resident (and more).
If they could, they could say this whole statement applies to citizens.
They'd obviously have to draft a new paper, but permanent residents are basically almost citizens, without the right to vote.

"I haven't slept in months"
ah, that explains the walking dead appearance. I thought she was trying to do a late audition for the Mummy reboot. #altfact
also that word salad of hers makes no sense.

Whoooooooooooooooooo?
Lol at her "the election was 3 months ago".
.. Meanwhile Trump is launching an investigation into the election to prove he won. After he won. You'd think we're still in October.
Here's the follow up
So, who's lying?
Well that sounds like a contradiction to literally everything we've heard over the past two days. Why not mention it sooner if it were true? Bullshit!

Citizenship and LPR status are two different and distinct things. Citizenship does not mean you are an LPR at all and DHS could in no way say that, under law, the EO applies to citizens.

I'm thinking this is a lie.
There is an open rift now between congress and Trump.
Let's see how this plays out.
Thanks.
I was replying to the post about customs agents being above the law. I simply meant that they already can detain and question people upon entry when they deem necessary.

That latest thing sounds like a threat from the Trump administration to Congressional Republicans. That if he's going down, he'll make sure to try to take some of them with him.

Misdirection fuck everything
Who's lying who's telling the truth.....man. It's annoying that this is happening. Annoying is a tame word.

She couldn't even contain her laughter when she said that she and other members of the administration had "gaping, seeping wounds."
Another thing that really bugs me about this is how she emphasizes that reporters for the news media should be let go if they don't turn a profit like a business. That's not news, it's punditry.
I have a pretty good fucking idea.

I dunno if posted yet but George Takei started a petition in support of Muslims

Ah thank you. I suppose this is at least a little bit more visibility

Well I do think there are provisions for cbp to hold people if they have reasonable cause, whatever that may be.
The issue here is that anyone coming from these 7 countries even if you are a dual citizen/green card holder/visa holder they are being discriminated against by national origin.
There are being pulled aside and and unfairly scrutinized.
I hope courts are going to shut this down all together, but it's looking like it's going to need to be definitively shut down for the CBP to not just go along with this fascist administration.
We are basically trending into a complete constitutional crisis with federal agencies only listening to the executive. Trump is over reaching. Marshals or local police are going to have shut this shit down potentially if this is what is happening.
Passing the blame to make them fight themselves. I see you, Trump.

So he wants to antagonize GOP congress? GOOD JOB

I can hear phones ringing right now
No, she hasn't slept in in months!
The beginnings of the crowd in DC.
15 minutes later.
Good signs.
The best of all signs I saw.
When the march spontaneously started.
Down 15th.
On Pennsylvania.
In front of Trump Hotel.
Toward the Capitol.
Looking up Capitol Hill from 4th Street.
Looking back down Pennsylvania from 1st Street.

Cap v. Trump.
He likely just sees red and feels everyone is against him. Don't forget, his statement says he has strong feeling!

I know! My husband and I went through the same thing when he immigrated from Canada. Our lawyer said our case was easy because it's just Canada, but it was still a ton of paperwork, document collecting, medical exams, background checks, an interview, etc. Not to mention the money (couple of thousands of dollars all said and done) and technically the process isn't over yet (we have another interview in 2 years) and then actual citizenship tests further down the line. The people who say this stuff is easy have no clue what they're talking about.

Dent was the first to break rank. Considering he comes from a place with a large Syrian community, that wasn't too shocking. But good to see nonetheless.
