Imagine If Biden Locked Up Conservatives Without a Trial. Sound Outrageous? Now Read On

Let’s play out a scenario.

Imagine President Joe Biden, following a high-profile violent incident — say, a mass shooting like the Las Vegas attack — declares a national emergency over domestic extremism.
He says the threat is growing and that we need to act quickly to protect the public.

Law enforcement begins sweeping arrests. Conservatives, veterans, gun owners, and political opponents are picked up for “suspicious affiliations.” A Facebook post. A tattoo. A flag. A zip code.

No trial. No charges. No defense.
Just gone.

Outrageous?
You’d be furious. And you’d be right to be.

But here’s the thing — something eerily similar is already happening. Not here, but in El Salvador.
And the U.S. government is sending people into it — under a policy led by the Trump administration.

✈️ From the U.S. to a Salvadoran Prison — Without a Hearing

In recent weeks, the U.S. has deported Venezuelans and other migrants to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, including some with active asylum claims and no criminal convictions.
Reuters reports that these deportations continue despite federal legal challenges.

Once deported, they enter President Nayib Bukele’s state of exception, where more than 84,000 people have been arrested — often with no formal charges.
According to AP News, suspects are rounded up based on vague accusations, location, or tattoos — many without evidence of gang ties.

No trial. No lawyer. No appeal.

⚖️ “Innocent Until Proven Guilty” — Until It’s Inconvenient

America has long prided itself on due process.
We teach it in civics class. We invoke it in campaign speeches.

But when the people affected aren’t citizens — and don’t have political clout — we tend to look the other way.

We wouldn’t accept this kind of mass detention if Biden was doing it to conservatives here.
So why are we okay doing it to someone else?

And before anyone says, “But they’re criminals,” let’s be clear:
They’re called criminals — but never given a chance to prove they aren’t.

📍 TX-3 Shouldn’t Look Away

This isn’t just about policy. It’s about principle.
And yes, some of the people being deported come from places like North Texas. They’ve lived in our communities for years. Raised families. Paid taxes. Worked jobs nobody else would take.

Now, under a 200-year-old statute, they’re deported without a hearing — often in violation of court orders.
Politico reports that a federal judge has openly questioned whether the administration is acting in good faith.

This isn’t immigration enforcement. It’s enabling abuse and what’s worst we are paying for it to the tune of millions of dollars. And the Trump administration isn’t hiding it — they’re promoting it, even creating propaganda videos to celebrate it.

TX-3 is a place that believes in fairness, freedom, and the Constitution.
We don’t believe in rounding people up without due process — not here, not anywhere.

If we wouldn’t accept Biden doing it, we shouldn’t accept it under Trump.
If it’s not okay for us, it’s not okay for anyone.

It’s time to stop looking away.
