The absurdity coming from left-wing judges escalated on Monday when one of them claimed that "nazis got better treatment" than the Venezuelan gang members the Trump administration recently deported. Judge Patricia Millett made the statement during oral argument before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on the government's motion to stay the temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by Judge James Boasberg, using the setting to chastise the federal government for its supposed mistreatment of alleged members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang.
"There were plane loads of people. There were no procedures in place to notify people," Judge Patricia Millett said. "Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act."
Judge Millett noted that alleged Nazis were given hearing boards and were subject to established regulations, while the alleged members of Tren De Aragua were given no such rights.
"There's no regulations, and nothing was adopted by the agency officials that were administering this. They people weren't given notice. They weren't told where they were going. They were given those people on those planes on that Saturday and had no opportunity to file habeas or any type of action to challenge the removal under the AEA," Judge Millet said. "What's factually wrong about what I said?"
I'm not sure what comparison she thinks she's making there. Her contention seems to be that members of a murderous gang are somehow more virtuous than nazis and thus deserve better treatment. Personally, that's a distinction I don't think needs to be made, and the judge should really offer some specifics to flesh out such an analogy.
Who is she specifically talking about when she says nazis? As in, what historical cases in the United States is she citing? Since she doesn't say, the accuracy of her claim can't even be properly checked. That's the kind of flawed argument that would get you kicked out of a high-school debate club. It certainly shouldn't be a tactic deployed by a federal judge during official proceedings. Comparisons to nazis are rarely a good idea, and that remains true in this case.
Border Czar Tom Homan was asked about what Judge Millett said, and he roasted her.
🔥TOM HOMAN TORCHES JUDGE WHO CLAIMS "NAZIS GOT BETTER TREATMENT" THAN CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS:
"It's RIDICULOUS! It's just another example of a radical judge saying something that's just DISGUSTING. To compare anything to the Nazis? The Holocaust?!"
"What we did on those planes was REMOVE TERRORISTS!""To compare that any way whatsoever with the Nazis?! It's disgusting."pic.twitter.com/STWbkmb4Hp— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) March 24, 2025
HOMAN: Well, first of all, that's ridiculous. It's just another example of a radical judge saying something that's just disgusting. To compare anything to the Nazis? The Holocaust? We follow the law. The Alien Enemies Act is clear. A law that was passed by Congress, signed by a president, we're following, unlike the last administration, we're actually following the law. MS-13 and TDA are designated terrorist organizations. We remove terrorists, and to compare that anyway whatsoever with nazis is disgusting on every level.
It's beyond clear that the Trump administration is not going to be treated fairly by this judge. If she's claiming in a courtroom that these gang members were treated worse than nazis, then her mind is made up. She is, however, one of three judges on the panel who heard argument on the matter today, and it remains to be seen how the other two members of the panel will decide on the government's motion. All of this just becomes a waiting game for the appellate process to play out. The lower court judges are overstepping their bounds for political reasons, and they are abusing the process, and it appears that some appellate court judges, like Millett, may hold similar views.
I don't want the judiciary to be distrusted. I think the country is far better off with a system that follows the law, even when it doesn't feed a particular political desire. We don't have that system right now, though, and the damage being done by the lower-level judges is immeasurable. You'd think they'd consider that before giving some of these ridiculous rulings, but I suppose power can blind one to the consequences of their actions.

The Nazis were executed within a month...................
I guess the judge forgot that part about all of them that got hanged.
So what? These guys are worse...they invaded the U.S. NAZIs might have considered it, but they did not take over apartments in Colorado.
I am sure some sort of execution could be arranged for the gangs.
so is the judge saying that their treatment is too lenient? didn’t read it. too boring.
It needs to be arranged for these Marxist so-called judges. They are more dangerous to the country than these thugs. These judges want to continue enabling the invading horde.
Try landing in any foreign airport without a passport. How would you be treated?
I imagine nazis that slipped under the radar and escaped ,led secretive nondescript lives unlike these terrorists that come in entitled with a chip on their shoulders.
It’s funny this old bag doesn’t look old enough to have been a Nazi POW but I guess anything is possible with the far-lefties.
“I guess the judge forgot that part about all of them that got hanged.”
That was mostly leadership. Perhaps if we used set asides, such as STEM gang members, rocket-scientist gang members, physicist gang members, things of that nature... something similar to “Operation Paperclip”.
That statement should offend every living Jew, Russian, Brit, Pole, All of Europe for crying out loud. This Judge will be making a public apology soon methinks.
They hung the NAZIs.
This Judge will be making a public apology soon methinks.“
Nope, not going to happen.
Ite more like a wild eyed lefty kind of reaction instead of a federal judge. When you’re far left, everyone who disagrees with you is a nazi. She discredited herself by exposing her bias.
In his book Subota, describing his 20 years in the gulag, during which he faithfully observed the Jewish Sabbath and other mitzvot, Avraham Nanas (nom de plum Avraham Netzach) says that he was once forced to bunk with Nazi war criminals in Siberia. Because he knew Yiddish, he understood every word they were saying about him, and knew they would murder him in his bed, so he spent the night fully clothed on the lee side of a building, in the middle of the Siberian winter.
So not all Nazis were summarily executed even in the Soviet Union.

Here is my guess. The US has informants within the gangs. They are arrested. And they are exported. Roberts who is a CIA plant himself, is trying to stop the deportation because the CIA wants to infiltrate the gangs not end them. The CIA wants to use gangs. So Trump is gathering US spies with gang members. And Roberts has judges to stop it. Roberts and the CIA are simply evil. The gangs are evil. We should deport them all. We should not be using them. Whatever evil plan the CIA has, should be ended. And if a few turncoats get caught up in the change of management, good riddance.
Its funny the CIA cares far more about their stoolies than they do about collateral damage from bombs and missiles. (go into the capital, you must go into the capital).

ya, like time magazine and hitler as man of the year, why did the dim left do that ?

evil AND greedy sob's.
SPIT

And El Salvador did not yet possess that marvelous guest house for retired criminals.
NAZIs with good health and strength were much more useful as slave laborers and most of them, strong as they might have been. died in the camps.
