Since the Trump administration has already deported multiple US citizens-including kids with cancer-and lied about it

Does anyone honestly believe they won’t start openly deporting Americans-and then brag about it

Same pattern as defying court orders, lying about it and finally arresting judges

Q: "Do you acknowledge that under our law every single person who gets deported gets a hearing first to make their case?"

Trump: "Are we talking about people that are citizens?"

Q: "No, you're not deporting citizens — at this point..."

1. No worries, they'll only ship out the "bad" American citizens...

2. "Deport" isn't even the correct term, since it supposedly means

removing from a country a noncitizen who is in the country illegally or who has committed a crime. A citizen can't be deported (legally, at least) for any reason. What they are really talking about is exiling, the forced banishing from one's own country. The US has no law authorizing exiling or banishing a citizen. Not that Trump (or Stephen Miller, the likely mastermind) cares.

5. Kidnapping

Kidnapping and human trafficking is what they are doing, citizens or not.
