Rep. Richie Torres (D-NY) warned that “any American” could be “abducted” and “tortured” under President Donald Trump’s administration during an appearance on CNN Tuesday.

Torres’s comments came during a segment with Wolf Blitzer on The Situation Room during which he discussed his Rescue Act, which would require the Trump administration to return any individuals who have been wrongfully deported back to the United States. The administration is currently facing pushback over the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man the Trump’s team insists is an MS-13 gang member, even though it has admitted that he was deported by “error.”

Torres said he does not expect much Republican support for his legislation, but warned that all Americans should be concerned about the lack of due process some are receiving amid mass deportation efforts.

The congressman said:

I’m skeptical that we will have Republican support because the Republican party is fully captive to Donald Trump. But of all the abuses of Donald Trump’s presidency, there is no greater threat to liberty than his complete contempt for due process. You know, without due process, what stops Donald Trump from wrongfully labeling any American as a non-citizen gang member and abducting them in the dead of night and rendering them to a foreign prison to be tortured? You know, Donald Trump’s actions set a dangerous precedent for our democracy.

1. Tru dat...............

[Dr. Shepper]

2. Exactly. So obvious that's where this is going.

And republicans truly don’t care.

3. They don't

care until it happens to someone in their immediate or extended family.

6. I'm not sure they'd care then either.

Stinking Steve Scalise was damn near murdered by an AR-15, yet continues to support the NRA and gunhumpers.

Millions of MAGAts were willing to "sacrifice Granny" to get things opened up and save the economy while COVID was killing more than a 9/11-worth of Americans every day.

Their media will tell them to sacrifice, and they will. Cheerfully, and take us with them.

4. Republicans ARE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THIS!

5. Agreed

If the 4th, 5th and 14th amendments do not apply to Mr. Garcia and the others recently kidnapped by the government, than it applies to no one.

7. I have been increasingly concerned about the danger

to anyone who has a dissenting point of view. Just look at what Trump and his cabal has done in just under three months. They have gone after CBS/60 Minutes, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, Harvard and numerous other colleges - anyone or anything that doesn't follow the Trump doctrine and embrace it is in the cross hairs.

Honestly, I have been concerned about liberals who post on social media. Three months ago, I would have thought that was absurd, but with this regime, all bets are off.

8. Trump is going to try and make sure that no one has any rights. That's the goal. Full power.

9. Maybe they already have been. We don't know because they're being taken from detention center to

airplane with no stop at any court in between.
