Green cards holders are basically citizens. You can revoke their lawful permanent residence for well-specified (legally) reasons, but while they hold it they are entitled to the full protection of all US law. People that should have had that protection had their right of habeas corpus violated, one of the most fundamental rights that exists in this country. It was done without the consulation of the legislative branch. It was (and is) continued after it was ruled illegal by the judicial branch. There isn't any hyperbole here. This is facially fascist. Hopefully it marks a low point and they learn from it.

From my first comment: |I don't like the restrictions placed on people who were already determined to be legal residents via green cards / visas whatever. Why argue with me about it if I agree with you that it's bad? Also, as I understand, it's been removed anyway. |There isn't any hyperbole here. This is facially fascist. I know this is just another way of saying 'literally Hitler', but it clearly doesn't mean what you think it means.[0] [0]: http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Fascism.html http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Fascism.html
