Rep. Jamie Raskin recently addressed issues concerning deportation policies and judicial compliance on his social media platform, drawing attention to specific actions taken under the administration of President Trump. Raskin's posts focus on two major incidents, highlighting concerns over due process and adherence to Supreme Court rulings.
On April 14, 2025, Rep. Raskin posted about the case of Rumeysa Ozturk, stating that "Trump’s State Department found no evidence linking Rumeysa Ozturk to antisemitic activity or terrorism, but ICE snatched her off the street and dispatched her to a prison 1,000 miles away with no hearing. This is a hallmark of fascist regimes and utterly incompatible with Due". The comment emphasizes the actions of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regarding Ozturk, drawing comparisons to practices of authoritarian regimes.
On April 15, 2025, Raskin tweeted again, countering a claim about the judicial ruling concerning Abrego Garcia. He stated, "As someone who knows how to read, I can tell you with certainty the Supreme Court did not say that." Adding that "The White House admitted it was an 'administrative error' to deport Abrego Garcia and the Supreme Court called on the government to facilitate his return." This tweet underscores a misrepresentation of the Supreme Court's stance and an administrative admission of error.
Raskin's concerns were reiterated later the same day when he remarked on President Trump's compliance with Supreme Court directives. He declared, "What do you know, President Trump is lockstep with a foreign dictator on detaining, shackling and deporting Trump’s deportee without any Due Process. Trump must follow the Supreme Court’s order to facilitate the return of their illegal prisoner." This highlights a call to action for the administration to adhere to judicial processes.
