But it is not helpful when we concede something that didn't happen. Supreme Court did not give them permission today to touch anyone other than infants under 4 born to certain immigrant parents.

Rather than freaking out and insisting the Supreme Court just gave them permission to deport anyone and everyone (as several posts here are saying), speak the truth.

The legal impact of this decision on current deportation actions is virtually non-existent.

It is extremely significant on other matters that are largely being ignored in the freakout about the non-existent threat to multi-generation citizens. This decision massively increases the cost of fighting Trump in the courts, because we must now fight on a state-by-state basis. Don't make it worse by rolling over and playing dead on the citizenship of millions of Americans whose citizenship is NOT impacted one iota by this particular decision.
