    BREAKING: After a year of being illegally held by the Trump administration, our client is finally free. His own government kept his detention secret, denied his requests for a lawyer, and attempted to forcibly transfer him to a dangerous war zone.https://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security/detention/us-citizen-detained-without-charge-trump-administration-year …

        "His story might have ended there, with him secretly detained indefinitely, if not for the reporting of The Daily Beast, which revealed his existence to the public. Still, for four months, the government blocked the American’s access to a lawyer and the courts,"

        "--despite his request for an attorney. The ACLU filed a habeas corpus lawsuit in court in Washington, demanding that the gov justify his detention & let him have an attorney. Over the Trump admin’s objections, we ultimately secured a court order enabling us to represent him"

        Typical. Test the law on minorities. If the majority don’t give a hoot, expand the law to them. By then, it may be too late.😑

        Unfortunately, we can expect the Trump Administration and the new makeup of SCOTUS to continue attacking the Constitution and the legal rights of American citizens.

        “... if not for the reporting of The Daily Beast, which revealed his existence to the public.” Makes me wonder how many people are in custody that we don’t know about. Pretty frightening.

        Trump doesn’t care about anyone but himself. How can any American support him?

        Great job thank you as one who had been imprisoned, for fighting for the forgotten and their human rights. Because of your work 9n our behalf while I was jailed you forced our country jail to stop it's illegal 24hr detention without proper access to recreation.
