Eugene Robinson: Judge Is Right, Nazis Were Treated Better than Illegal Immigrants Under Alien Enemies Act

EXCERPT:

ROBINSON: "Yeah, no, they’re pretty strong. I mean, 'even the Nazis were treated better,' that’s pretty strong. But she’s right. I mean, you look at what happened, you look at what she describes, and you just have to tell yourself, this is — this can’t be America. This isn’t what happens in America. We don’t sweep people up and load them onto planes with no due process and send them away to a brutal third-world prison in El Salvador, where they never — may never see the light of day again. I mean, we don’t do that to people in this country, and yet it was done. And it’s being stubbornly defended without facts, but with a lot of bluster by this administration. And once again, it's the judicial branch that is stepping in."
