No due process, no evidence, no documentation, no oversight, no warrants, no probable cause… this is your law and order, Republicans?
There is zero chance that in rushing to “deport” these people that they get everything right. They are going to (if they haven’t already) kidnap American citizens and kick them from the country along with the undocumented people. Moreover, they dumped all of those people in the same place, Venezuela. There is also zero chance that all of those undocumented people were from Venezuela. They don’t give a fuck. They’ll throw the baby out with the bath water, and they will strand people thousands of miles away from their homes, their countries of origin, and without any resources to manage in a country that they constantly demonize.
As long as they’re not here anymore, nothing else matters to them. People voted for this. It makes me fucking sick.
Given Trump’s support in the Latino community, it’s also pretty much guaranteed that some number of the American citizens who they manage to round up and deport to some random country will be Trump voters. I wonder what that will feel like.
I think it’s possible that they’ll blame ICE specifically, while still holding on to their loyalty to Trump, telling themselves that the migration authorities have always been awful, which is true.
I wonder what that will feel like.
A bit like a leopard eating your face, I imagine.
They’re being punished for the crime of existing.
“The Trump Administration arrested 538 illegal immigrant criminals …”
I am taking particular note that 538 is also the number of members of Congress.
Holy shit, good catch.
This will surely lower the cost of eggs.
A country of hundreds of millions and we got hundreds of “criminals” possibly. Flown out and handled by the military. Costs be damned.
Also: you can’t have healthcare or any more already existing benefits even for veterans because we need to cut the budget.
Get fucked Nazis…
It’s just a start. They’re trying to figure out a way to do it, that will let them get around any of the legal restrictions that are currently an obstacle. Trump has repeatedly said that he hates that people get to go before a judge, and make their case for why they should stay in the country or present any evidence that the government got it wrong. And then the judge gets to decide, instead of ICE just being their own roaming kings of the land, upending people’s lives and moving on, unbound by the structures of man.
I mean last time they gave the judges a trial time metric and an indicator of the “correct” ratio of deportation vs asylum granting. If it becomes extra judicial we’re really fucked.
Source? Different judges had widely varying percentages of asylum grants, going all the way from near 0 to near 100. What was the “correct” ratio supposed to be and where did you get this information?
Good God. Good to know, I hadn’t heard of any of this.
Yeah, there was a lot of shit. Just hosed at us every day. This time it’s a firehose…
I sort of assumed deporting a few hundred people a day was the minimum in a country of 330 million to make it even worth having a concept of deportation. If you fall below those figures you might as well get rid of it completely and close down the relevant departments.
