Governor Gavin Newsom arrived at the headlines on Friday for his comments about Maryland’s resident, Maryland’s sport, Kilmar Abrego García, when he tried to make news about the rates.
Speaking at a press conference from Central Valley, announcing a lawsuit against the Trump administration about its tremendously unpredictable commercial policies, Newsom answered a question of journalists about Abrego García. He called the controversy about whether the man is a member of a gang “the distraction of the day.”
There was chaos, including a demon news cycle during the holiday weekend that Newsom neinder or Democrats wanted, in which experts discussed whether Abrego García and the crisis crisis crisis of extrajudicial deportation.
Senator Chris van Hollen (D-Md.), Who traveled to El Salvador and was able to talk to Abrego García, Tiring in Newsom: “I believe that Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who have the finger in the wind”, adding that “anyone who cannot defend the constitution and right of due process cannot be leaded.”
Spoiler alert: I am in favor of the process and I am horrified that our executive branch is advocating its suspension when it comes to immigrants because that is the first step to reduce everyone’s rights.
Calling the difficult situation of Abrego García as a “distraction”, even if it is only on the narrow issue of gang membership, as the Newsom office clarified was its intention, it is incorrect. But the apparent division between Newsom and Van Hollen is closer than the media, and also the most important question that the Democrats see at this time: do Americans care about the Constitution or the stock market?
Americans largely cannot decide on what worry them most. A good part of people are currently being divided by the terror that their life savings are disappearing before their eyes, and the terror that their constitutional rights are in the same garbage. It is a moment of all hands for the Democrats, and there should be room to defend both the rights of Abrego García (and by extension to all) and go back against a global commercial war of the sensation that is to put a claim to the United States.
But the controversy about Newsom’s inevised declaration goes to the heart of the democratic division at this time. It is a disorder party that cannot decide to face the attacks on democracy, or keep the laser focused on pocket problems that seem to have given Trump his second term.
Friends, it’s time to walk and chew gum, as the old saying says.
Abrego García is somewhere in a saving prison at this time.
Maybe not the terrorism confinement center of the sausage sausage, where he is his deportation nightmare in an installation that Human rights observers maintain a story of tortureBut it is still locked in a Kafkaesco scenario that could leave it with what appears to be a life imprisonment in a foreign prison without committing a crime or being heard by a judge.
That son of the Justice of Grab-And Vanish is common in El Salvador, where a Three -year emergency statement made by an authoritarian leader Affirm that he is taking energetic measures in the crime of gangs has suspended the rights of due process, imprisonment on 83,000 people, according to Amnesty International.
That sounds too close to the home, since President Trump deportes and stops people who use that, as difficult conversations of crimes without evidence, while vice president JD Vance argues online that due process is too cumbersome and to be successful for the caves, in terms of being successful for cavos for conventions, Trump has promised, in the sport of millions of people in the coming years, if they are criminal or not.
“To say that the administration must observe the ‘due process’ is to raise the question: what process is due to a function of our resources, the public interest, the state of the accused, the proposed punishment and many other factors”, “,” Vance wrote on social networks Last week. “Here is a useful proof: ask people who cry for the lack of due process what they precisely propose to deal with the millions and millions of ILLEGAL BIDEN. And with the cons of resources and reasonable administrative judge, the Meelion Allion solution?”
Oh. Convenience on the law.
“No process is the new due process,” Adam Winkler told me, a UCLA teacher who teaches constitutional law. “The Constitution is clear that anyone in the United States has the right to due process, no matter if they are immigrants.”
Newsom, in a more reflexive interview with Podcastter Bryan Tyler Cohen last week, described such a flagrant foul for the law “The other side of the red line.”
“The founding parents did not live and died for this moment,” said Newsom. “And so, if you want this democracy, this democratic republic, survive, that must be called with clarity and conviction, period, complete stop.”
So, Newsom and Van Hollen do not disagree with the importance of the case of Abrego García after all. They simply cannot agree on how to get better to voters.
However, most Americans really do not know what they do, however, when gas and groceries cost more, and when their retirement savings sink like a brick in a river.
As the former Republican political consultant Mike Madrid said, we need to walk and chew gum, “but we do not pretend they are the same, because they are not.”
Walking, being the economy in this analogy, is much more important, he said.
In a recent survey, 55% of voters said they disapprove Or the way Trump manages the economy. Another CNBC survey He discovered that Trump’s qualifications about economic performance are currently the lowest who have been in his political career, after winning the elections on economic issues.
“The fact that the Democrats are not conducting a tank through that problem is Malpactice,” said Madrid, and is right. The economy won Trump the elections, and the economy could lose the Republicans to the next.
Fighting for the rights of Abrego García?
“It is a difficult case, because people are really defending MS-13? Are they defending, you know, someone who is out of view, out of mind in El Salvador?” Newsom said at Friday’s press conference. “It is exactly the debate [Republicans] Because, because they don’t do it because this debate on rates. “
But this is where Trump’s chaos theory becomes so effective. Those who care about democracy have to fight both in the economy and in due process, and much more, because we may not reach another free choice (as was the last) if we allow the executive branch of the Ulimited Power branch. And, it should be evident, there is a moral imperative of not abandoning Abbego García, or any of these deported people without due process.
Democrats seem to be trapped in a political mentality, how they win the elections, when the moment requires something bigger.
The ability to walk and chew gum, and explain to voters why both matter.
