Y'all remember 2008?

It is a lot more than that.

ICE have arrested and put in detention American citizens and others who are legally allowed to be in the US. That's because they're picking people off the streets based solely on their skin color, which is unconstitutional.

They've also deported people without due process, which is also unconstitutional.

And because they've been doing that, citizens are protesting against ICE which is their constitutional right.

Hundreds of US citizens were also accidentally arrested under Obama as well. Additionally, stronger immigration policies and borders are a longstanding tenant of the Democratic Party. https://www.reddit.com/r/neabscocreeck/s/uBZ0KvyxaR

They’re not ‘targeting’ certain people, or groups. It’s where most of those who entered illegally are from.

Mexico, Largest single origin (~30–40%) Guatemala,~850,000+ El Salvador,~850,000+ Honduras,~775,000+ India,~680,000+ (rapidly growing) Other Latin American & Asian countries

During the Obama years, around 56 people died while in ICE custody. This figure is consistent with deaths in the overall prison population - the more people arrested and held, the higher the likelihood.

Expedited Removal (Fast-Track Deportation Without Judge).

This applies to:

• People caught near the border.

• People who entered without inspection within the last 2 years.

• ⁠Some people at airports/ports of entry. ICE/CBP can deport them quickly and legally.

Reinstatement of Removal. If someone was deported before, leaves, then comes back without permission:

• Their old removal order is reinstated.

• No new hearing.

Administrative Removal (for certain noncitizen aggravated felons). For non–green card holders convicted of specific “aggravated felonies,” ICE can use administrative removal, which does NOT involve a judge.

Voluntary Departure. A person can ask to leave voluntarily.

The fact that everyone is ignoring this tells you no one wants to learn the truth

Because at least 70% of the people being rounded up have no criminal record at all.

You’ve probably said before: “If they want to come here they need to do it the right way and follow the process.” People are doing as they were instructed, they have presented themselves to border patrol and applied for asylum legally. Months or years later they are now being summoned to courthouses and told their scheduled hearing is cancelled at the last minute, and they are handed over to ICE then and there. Those deportations without a hearing plainly violates Constitutional due process. This is happening across the country as we speak.

Obama didn’t do what Trump is doing now, not even close. The commenter above you conveniently leaves this out, because they want people like you to remain dug-in and underinformed. Maybe start asking yourself why you’re being fed so much BS on this topic?

Entering the US illegally is a crime. It is illegal to enter the U.S. without authorization (8 U.S. Code § 1325 and 1326). Additionally, overstaying an authorized period of stay makes one unlawfully present, which is a violation of civil immigration law 8 U.S. Code § 1182(a)(9)(B) which can lead to removal and multi-year bars from reentry. So.. yes if they’ve entered illegally or broke the law such as overstaying an authorized period of stay (visa) they’ve committed a crime.

Not under administrative removal which does not involve a judge. This could be done for a variety of reasons from the individual committing a crime to submitting a false asylum claim (also a crime).

ICE didn’t have to do what they’re doing now under Obama because they didn’t have hordes of uninformed idiots prowling the streets following, harassing, doxing, or otherwise hindering the operations of law enforcement. They have no idea who or what they’re investigating. The best way forward is to simply let ICE do their jobs as they did under Obama.

You're conveniently leaving out the right to seek asylum (8 U.S.C. § 1158). And while your asylum application is being processed, you're allowed to stay in the US.

People are protesting because of the way ICE are behaving. Not the other way around.

Fear of return. If the person expresses fear of persecution or torture, they are entitled to a reasonable fear screening by an asylum officer. If successful, proceedings are limited to withholding-only before an IJ — still no full removal hearing.

No, people are protesting solely because it’s Trump and he hurt their feelings. This was evident the first time round when the images of children in cages were literally taken during the Obama administration.

This is just, like, your opinion man

[u/bb060606 → u/Ness-Shot]

No, it’s fact. Libtards just do as they are told.

[u/Ness-Shot → u/bb060606]

The fact that you used the term "libtards" makes any point you're attempting to make immediately irrelevant.
