To be clear: There is no indication there& #39;s an actual EO coming; and, if there is, we don& #39;t know what will be in it.
But what if it does come? Someone asked me if it would be legal. My answer: It doesn& #39;t matter. 1/4 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1252418369170501639">https://twitter.com/realDonal...

Last month, the administration began flagrantly breaking US law by summarily deporting asylum seekers (including unaccompanied children) on the border. The courts and Congress haven& #39;t reacted yet.
Refugee law is unambiguous. But it& #39;s being broke as we speak. 2/4

How? The DHS and the US& #39;s entire immigration system has indicated that it is prepared to execute whatever policy comes out of the Miller Oval Office. Ban Muslims? Sure. Separate families? Sure. There& #39;s no reason to believe they won& #39;t carry out this policy as long as they can 3/4
And w/ the courts & Congress in disarray, I can& #39;t say with confidence we& #39;ll see any serious response before Nov. It& #39;s a slippery slope that arguably began with the Muslim Ban-turned-Travel Ban: The admin has realized there& #39;s no force that can react quick enough to stop it. 4/4
But again. This might just be—and honestly probably is—Trump just late-night Tweeting. There& #39;s been no leaks or indications that a major immigration policy has been in the works.
