In 1776, our founders fought a revolutionary war against the King of England because they believed no person should be imprisoned or punished without due process.
No person should be above the law.
And no citizen should live in fear of government abuse.
Almost 250 years later, that foundation — our core American promise — is crumbling.
Today, the President of the United States is openly working to deport people without trial, without evidence, and without due process.
And not just immigrants.
He wants to deport American citizens.
To prisons in El Salvador — infamous for their brutality — and designed, in the words of their own justice minister, to hold people until they die.
Let me repeat that:
The President of the United States is considering sending American citizens to foreign prisons — with no trial, no hearing, and no way to come home.
This is not a fringe conspiracy.
This is not six months away.
This is not “just talk.”
It’s happening. Right now.
And the administration is not even denying it. In fact, they’re laughing about it.
They call it “security.”
I call it what it is: a test of power. A test of how far a president can go — and how silent the rest of us are willing to be.
A Story That Should Break All of Us
Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia — a working father, a union sheet metal apprentice in Maryland — was deported to a Salvadoran prison in March, without trial, despite a court ruling that deporting him would likely get him killed.
There was no evidence presented.
No conviction.
No crime.
Only a “confidential informant” who was never cross-examined — and a suspended detective.
His legal case had been pending for years. He had no record. He was married to a U.S. citizen. He was raising a child with autism. He checked in regularly with immigration authorities. He was following every rule.
And then, without notice, without process, he was disappeared.
The administration later called it an “administrative error.”
But it was no accident.
Because when the Supreme Court ruled that he should be returned, the President refused. The El Salvadoran President refused. And nobody — not even the court — could force them.
That’s the nightmare. That’s the loophole.
Get you on a plane, and you're gone. Beyond the reach of American law.
A citizen with no rights.
This Is Not About Guilt. It's About Power.
You don’t have to be a lawyer to understand what this means. You just need to be an American.
Because if this administration can disappear one person, it can disappear many.
And if we say nothing, they will take our silence as permission.
When a government believes its power is absolute…
When it laughs in the face of the Supreme Court…
When it points to a human being and says “That one. Send him away.”
…we are no longer a democracy.
This Is Why I’m Running
I’m not running for Congress in California’s 41st District because I wanted a title.
I’m running because this cannot go unanswered.
We need voices in Congress who will defend the Constitution like it still means something.
Who will say no to tyrants — whether they wear suits or uniforms.
Who will draw a line and mean it.
We are not a monarchy.
We are not a kingdom.
And we are not a nation where citizens disappear into cages.
We are a nation of laws. Or we are no nation at all.
This Is Not a Drill. We Are at DEFCON ONE.
The Emergency is here.
The mask has dropped.
The time to act is now.
✊ I’m Dave Karson.
🗳 I’m running for Congress in CA-41.
📘 And I believe we can still build a nation where truth matters, people matter, and the law protects everyone — not just the powerful.
Let’s do this. Before it’s too late.
