Here’s one other little detail. Cases under Title 8 US Code are not criminal cases, they are administrative cases that are handled by Immigration Courts. Immigration courts are not Article 3 courts under the judicial branch, they are part of the Executive Branch and are under the Department of Just Us. Immigration Judges are career civil service employees (read Deep State) who do that as their job. No Senate confirmation, no possibility of impeachment. While the decisions of an administrative law judge can be appealed to an Article 3 court, the defendant has to actually make the appeal.

Chances are that anybody brought forward for such a proceeding would have a hell of a time finding a decent attorney to represent them. Look at what’s happened to attorneys who’ve attempted to defend Jan 6 clients: https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/10/politics/ethics-complaints-attorney-misconduct-trump-election-reversal/index.html

So here’s my suspicion of what will happen: a person is disappeared into a dark hole just for insurrectionists...falling under the jurisdiction of ICE. No phone calls, no nothing. They’ll have their administrative law hearing where they’ll be stripped of citizenship and immediately deported to a friendly third world hole. Since they are stateless, they won’t be able to fly anyplace else (no passport, no flying). Since they are no longer US citizens, it’s not lm they can go to the US embassy for help (and how many embassies of other countries would be interested in helping further US citizens tarred with the brush of loss of citizenship?

If they somehow manage to get in contact with a stateside attorney who would represent them, the stateside attorney will be threatened with disbarment and potential detention as a conspirator.

Technically they will have had their rights violated on a grotesque level, but they won’t have any recourse.

25 years ago, this would’ve seemed Alex Jones level crazy, I realize. But much of what’s happened in recent years has made it sadly very realistic.
