Social ICE/deportation protests and riots megathread

[Confucamus]

You know that two things can be true at the same time, right? It’s great they’re getting rid of sex traffickers. It’s bad they’re protecting people who have sex with minors.

See?

You don't seem to have understood my post. Nobody said they can't be true at the same time. It was more of a test to see who only cares about one of those things and not the other due to politics. I and many others have celebrated the war on sex trafficking and also expressed disappointment with the Epstein files not being released. It's not difficult to be consistent.

Yes he is barely making a dent and is deporting at half the rate that Obama was, just goes to show how all this outrage is manufactured.

The only reason Obama was able to deport at such a high rate was that he was catching tons at the border and using expedited removal.

The border under Trump is basically closed because they're not trying to sneak in anymore. So he has the much harder job of finding them in the middle of the country.

If your position is that you want illegal immigrants in your country you should be opposed to whoever is stopping those people, no matter where they are apprehended.

Good as you should, democrats supported Obama doing so they should support Trump doing the same.

It’s not the act of deporting someone that’s my issue. My issue is throwing people in foreign prisons with no way out. These people are not charged with crimes, and some haven’t even broken any laws.

If you want to charge an undocumented immigrant, they need to be charged by the US, tried by our courts, and sentenced in the US.

Many times we skip that and decide to just deport, in which case the person should be free to go in the country we send them back to. Wtf are we throwing people in fucked up foreign concentration camps for? A deportation is a remedy for a civil offense.

1. The US is not directly throwing people into prison. They sent 225 people to El Salvador and Bukele decided to put them into CECOT. The US has no jurisdiction what Bukele does to deportees after they're sent there. Those 225 have now been exchanged to Venezuela BTW.

2. The vast majority of people being deported are being sent to their home countries.

3. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how immigration court works. There is no trial or jury or sentencing and never has been. Immigration court is not criminal court. It's an administrative hearing.

4. Being caught undocumented in the country is a civil offense. But entering the country illegally is a criminal offense. Sections 1325 ("illegal entry") and 1326 ("illegal reentry") of Chapter 8 of the U.S. Code.

Lmao. Stopped reading after number one. What twisted logic is that? Oh hey guys, we don’t actually send them to prison. We just sent them to another country knowing that their leader would throw them in prison lmao. Man you fell off lately. So long you’ve been larping as this enlightened centrist

Most of the people sent to CECOT are actually El Salvadorean citizens. With a large chunk that are indeed criminals. Bukele can decide to hold them anywhere else. That's up to him.

So where else would the US send El Salvadoreans that are illegal?

If we have no authority of where deportees ended up, how did we get then back? And why are we even paying a tinpot dictator in the first place?

ICE is kicking ass with MS13 on Long Island. We are loving it. 1600 illegals with gang ties or criminal pending charges were removes last week. Leave the workers alone, get the criminals.

We only got one person back - Abrego Garcia. And that happened because we formally asked the El Salvadorean government.

The rest were already exchanged with Venezuela. The "gay makeup artist" that everyone was all up in arms was sent back home 3 weeks ago.

That's amazing

Is this one of those "unpopular" policies of Trump people yell about, it doesn't seem that way.

Ah yes, Schrodinger's authority. We don't have the power over detainees being sent to an inhumane prison even though we paid for said delivery and visited that prison for a nice photo op, except when we have the power to get them back.

Yup yup.

Yea I don't care. The majority were indeed criminals or had ties to gangs and were from El Salvador. The ones that didn't were from Venezuela and also either had gang ties or criminal records. The ones that didn't have gang ties were sent there because Venezuela wouldn't accept them back.

But they would eventually accept them back from El Salvador - hence why they were sent there.

No one is detained for life. They all made it back to Venezuela. So I don't care. Point blank - stop coming in illegally.

A lot of people coming from countries that do not accept their deportees back are knowingly taking that risk that they will be deported to a third country. On top of that, there are often a dozen countries they traveled through to get here where they could have tried for asylum.

Like I said repeatedly, it is hilarious that you both believe that the administration is violating the constitutional rights of pro Palestinian residents and citizens (which they are), but at the same time endorse violating the constitutional rights of illegal immigrants or legal immigrants (which they are).

Maybe one day you'll realize how the latter cripples the former.

Maybe one day you'll realize how the latter cripples the former.

How the hell is the US violating the rights of Palestinians? They're not citizens of the US and do not have constitutional rights.

The constitutional rights of illegal immigrants are not being violated. You're completely misinformed.

They were removed through the LEGAL use of expedited removal. Every President since that law was passed used expedited removal many, many times. Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden and now Trump.

Obama literally used expedited removal MILLIONS of times. But the media at the time didn't attack Obama like they're doing with Trump so people were unaware this was happening.

You are under the FALSE impression that these recent arrivals being detained and deported do not have due process. Because you've been propagandized by the media like NBA and ABC.

But they did get due process - expedited removal is the legal due process for any recent arrivals that came into the country in the last two years and has been for decades.

Part of that process involves having a credible fear interview which if they pass, their case will go in front of an immigration judge. If they don't qualify in that step, they go into deportation proceedings. Expedited removal is only used in cases where the person has been in the country less than 2 years.
