The first few paragraphs
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt waffled Tuesday when asked about Donald Trump’s threat to deport U.S. citizens to foreign prisons.
During a press briefing, Leavitt was asked to explain Trump’s disturbingly enthusiastic response to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s wildly illegal proposition for the U.S. government to relocate individuals incarcerated in the federal prison system, including American citizens, to the Central American country.
The reporter wanted to know how the government could legally remove U.S. citizens, and how many would potentially be subject to removal. The short answer is: It can’t, so none. But Leavitt didn’t say that.
“So, the president has discussed this idea quite a few times publicly, he’s also discussed it privately,” she said, making sure to say that Trump had only discussed “potentially” deporting U.S. citizens.

Trump could invoke the Insurrection Act this month.

I would say martial law is probably the next step from their regime but I feel like I’m preaching to the choir here with that take.
Abbott: “So - Trump could say there’s a national emergency and declare martial law.”
Costello: “What national emergency?”
Abbott: “The national emergency that needs him to declare martial law.”
Costello: “But what national emergency?”
Abbott: “Listen. The national emergency that needs him to declare martial law.”
Costello: “But… If… Trump… What? Aaaaaaaaaabooooooooott!” He’s huffing and puffing.
Abbott: “Exactly.”
