HR 29, the Laken Riley Act, allows for people who are merely accused, without any criminal charge, of shoplifting, to be imprisoned in Homeland Security detention camps, and then deported, with no right to a trial or other basic due process of law. The law replaces the presumption of innocence in the United States with the presumption of guilt, and paves the way for Donald Trump’s fascist plans to deport or imprison tens of millions of US residents.

H.R. 29 would allow for the Department of Homeland Security to put people in prison camps on no basis other than an arrest - even without criminal charge. Not convicted for a crime, not having pled guilty for that crime, there's no grand jury. There's no due process of law involved. They could just kick you out of the United States without any opportunity to defend yourself in court.

What’s especially tragic is that 48 Democrats in the US House of Representatives declared their allegiance to Donald Trump by voting in favor of HR 29. The names of the congressional Democrats who voted in favor of giving Donald Trump new fascist powers are:
