If I became the next president how would I go about getting the illegally detained people under Trump freedom? Would I need congress?

  It’s more complicated than that; they’ve shifted from domestic concentration camps to foreign concentration camps — so the first thing you’d have to deal with is international diplomacy.

    You could divert a tiny fraction of military spending into bribes investments for these foreign countries.

    Also an important step after getting everyone home would be ruthlessly punishing anyone even slightly responsible. Otherwise you’re going to get the same shit all over again.

      The worst part is that there are no records of some of this. We don't know where some of these people have been taken.

  Use executive orders to undo everything. And with your last executive order, you ban all further executive orders.

  just shut it down, ICE work for you and the Supreme Court has given you complete immunity.

    Oh, you know that immunity will somehow get reinterpreted during the next non-Republican’s term (if any) to not really apply going forward, but Trump will still be included.

  Just a organic statement: you are laying on a world wide platform. As least, refer to which country you are talking about when asking the question. I know it’s clear from context, but it’s off-putting for all the others that are not in the US.

    know it’s clear from context,

    Then the obvious detail doesn’t need to be explicitly written.

    How many countries are there whose current (or recent) head of state or government has the surname “Trump”?

    • Slartifartblast@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Too many.

    No it’s not. What’s off-putting is treating people like they’re morons. Treating people like the lowest common denominator. That’s what you’re doing.

    speak for yourself. US politics is incredibly fun to get into as an outsider.

  If you’re a Democrat you MUST go Throw Congress and Courts and Public Perception! If you’re a REPUBLICAN you can Literally do WHATEVER you Want!

  The president of the US is the head of the federal executive branch. Anything done by the executive branch, you could undo, including release people detained by the executive branch. I don’t know enough details about which illegally detained people you’re referring to to answer the question more completely.

  You could pardon them.
