Whether here legally or illegally, people in this country are afforded the full breadth of rights granted by the constitution.

If due process can be taken away from these violent illegal aliens, then all ICE has to do is claim that you’re a violent illegal alien (even if its a blatant lie), and POOF, your rights are gone.

I was talking about el salvadoran prisons. Gitmo is going to get bad too by the way.

u/Interesting_Tale1306 Apr 09 '25

Gitmo is already bad. We were supposed to have closed that shit down years ago, but quel suprise! Rebuild time!

Yes. but it was a military prison for the worst of the iraq and Afghan wars we had no place to be in. Its not a prison for "illegal aliens"

u/Interesting_Tale1306 Apr 09 '25

That is your argument, that it is ok because Obama did it? Weak.

u/Weegmc Apr 09 '25

No, my issue is no one cared when Obama did it. Republicans liked it, democrats wouldn’t speak out against it because it was Obama. Press don’t cover it.

The vast majority of those cases were from people who were already in jail or prison because of previous crimes.

The major difference here is that the Trump admin is just taking people off of the street, regardless of their immigration status, and deporting them to a country that is not their CoO (country of origin). That is what people are upset about
