I was mainly devils'-advocating, up until this guy.<p>With this guy, I can find no fault. If you watch his 60 Minutes interview, it seems heartfelt and authentic. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grj328-hlhA" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grj328-hlhA</a> Plus, if he was born Palestinian and is now a Buddhist, that means that he willingly chose to endure the risk of getting killed as an apostate.<p>Something must be done.
Could anyone with a legal background explain to me why a judge hasn't declared all deportations to be on pause until legality is established for this pattern of detaining people without charging of anything, flying them out of the country before a petition can be filed wrt their detainment, and then claiming that because they're out of the country the US Gov't is powerless to facilitate their return?

Thanks to HN's naive and draconian policy prohibiting political discussion (which is itself a clear political statement) there is little point to discussing concerning issues like this as anyone expressing an opinion will be downvoted, shadow-banned, etc.<p>Let it also be noted that Garry Tan is overtly conservative (rails on X about many of the same social issues than animate Trump supporters) and PG holds strongly right wing (largely Burkean) views on many subjects.<p>edit: The discussion has already been flagged/suppressed. There is zero contemptuous discussion, only a few reasonable back and forth threads about various things.
