U.S. President Donald Trump is getting awfully authoritarian with his latest mass deportation push, invoking legislation that hasn’t been seen since World War II and ignoring a court order.
The latest moves seem to have emboldened the far-right, who are now publicly calling for the denaturalization and deportation of people whose speech they disagree with — threats that don’t seem quite so idle when you consider the Trump administration has been detaining and deporting people who hold Visas and Green Cards in the country.
While, as a Canadian journalist, I don’t love continually reporting on the Trump administration, I do think that we’ll face some pretty dire ripple effects if the country we share a massive border with descends into a place without respect for due process and the rule of law.
So let’s talk about this latest worrying development.
