These American rights groups never miss an opportunity to defend foreigners, but, I wonder, would they do this if Biden or Kamala were president? Actually, yes. They sued Obama multiple times for drone strikes in foreign nations which killed American citizens who were fighting with ISIS and al Qaeda. Because groups like the ACLU are nuts
Rights groups sue administration for release of memo justifying boat strikes
A group of civil rights advocacy organizations filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the Trump administration, seeking the release of a legal memo and other documents related to lethal U.S. military strikes on boats suspected of trafficking drugs from Latin America.
The complaint alleges that the nearly two dozen boat strikes carried out since September are illegal and that the public deserves to see how President Donald Trump’s administration has justified them. The strikes have killed at least 87 people.
“The public deserves to know how our government is justifying the cold-blooded murder of civilians as lawful and why it believes it can hand out get-out-of-jail-free cards to people committing these crimes,” Jeffrey Stein, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, one of the plaintiffs, said in a statement Tuesday.
The ACLU, the New York Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. According to the complaint, the groups filed a freedom of information request with several federal agencies on Oct. 15 seeking the release of a legal opinion from the White House’s Office of Legal Counsel. The Washington Post reported that the memo argued the country is in a “non-international armed conflict” with unspecified “drug cartels.”
Last time I checked, none of the drug runners were American citizens. Certainly not citizens of the State of New York. None of them have Constitutional rights. The whole thing is wild that Liberals/Democrats are hanging their hats on defending foreign drug smugglers.
Saying drugs are not bad because Trump is blowing up foreign drug running boats is a hell of a take.
If you ever get to foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia, be sure to visit the Kensington neighborhood, around the SEPTA train station at Kensington and Allegheny Avenues, under the El. You’ll see the junkies sleeping on sidewalks, on people’s front stoops, laid out against storefronts, and the decent people in the neighborhood, the ones who can’t afford to get out, living in fear and filth and disgust, because nothing can be kept clean or safe around an open-air drug market so notorious that the Mexican government used images of it in their campaigns against drug use!
Former Mayor Jim Kenney just let it fester, while current Mayor Cherelle Parker Mullins has made some efforts to try to clean up the place, but has been fought in her efforts to do that by the ‘harm reduction’ people, people who in their oh-so-well-intended efforts to reduce harm to the junkies have instead transferred the harm to the innocent neighbors.
The junkies are now in a major health crisis themselves, because the dealers have been cutting heroin and fentanyl with the veterinary tranquilizer xylazine, street name tranq, which was never approved for use in humans, and has resulted in open, festering, and non-healing wounds, and many amputations.
Tranq does have the unfortunate effect of cutting into their customer base, so now the dealers have been substituting another animal tranquilizer, medetomidine, also never approved for human use, and which causes severe withdrawal symptoms, which pushes the junkies to even greater urgency to buy their next fix. Yet our good friends on the left want to defend the drug suppliers!
