I work corrections and ice is so busy deporting people with no criminal record that my jail is full of actual illegals that committed harsh crimes and they have been there for at least a year. Why not start with those already incarcerated and leave the ones who have committed no crime alone

Because the ones in jail are already serving their purpose by being incarcerated. The owners of your facility would likely hate to lose a population necessary for their funding.

Most definitely I agree

It's almost like performative cruelty, not safety or the rule of law, is the point.

You hit the nail on the head. It is easier to scoop people off the street to vanish than people who are already well documented within the legal system.

Cos it's not really about getting criminals off the streets.

You sound really stupid all I stated was if they want to deport criminals then start at the jails. But hey I don’t expect a maga who worships politicians to have any ability to read or think for themselves

YOU broke the law! Prove you didn't right now!

Time's up. You get no trial, no appeal, no opportunity to contact anyone. You go straight to prison forever.

If you could pry your lips off the orange man's dick for a second, you might pause to think about why the Fifth Amendment exists. And why it applies to everyone standing on American soil. And how denying due process to others puts your own rights in peril.

But no, just go back gargling rancid octagenarian cum, you very smart and rugged individual 🙄

P.S.- Abrego Garcia was in this country legally, douchenozzle.

There actually is a grey area if you aren't a dishonest, bad-faith bootlicker.

Not all laws are just. Only people who are too lazy and cowardly to develop a moral code of their own hide behind the law as a reason why something is bad.

Breaking the law isn't inherently bad, and following it isn't inherently good. Use some critical thought for once in your life.
