ICE kidnapped elderly man and paraded him around outside in freezing temperatures wearing no shirt.
He was not a criminal. They busted down his door, too. Eventually, they returned him to his home. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/st-paul-hmong-elder-u-214000995.html |
Trump committed crimes, and he's president. But now, we suddenly want to kick out criminals? Sae Joon Park for President!! |
What "illegals" EXACTLY are you talking about. If you're talking about someone who committed a crime and is already in local or state custody, then you might have a point. But if you're talking about using state and local law enforcement to round up undocumented people the way ICE does--in workplaces, at Target or Home Depot, on the street because they "look" foreign, on the street where they pull cars over because they're been driven by someone who looks foreign, in parking lots, etc. etc. etc., that is not the job of local or state LEO. That is the job of BP and ICE--local/state LEO are not authorized to do that kind of work. Can you be specific about what types of "illegals" exactly you mean? |
He got addicted to drugs after he left the military, not great, but he has a purple heart, he is more american than you. |
DP. I’m sure the PP is referring to noncitizens who have no right to be here. Ie illegal aliens who are subject to deportation. It’s not like they need to commit additional violations of US law in order to be deported. Such a weird hill you guys die on. |
They were there to arrest two sex offender illegal immigrants. This guy was sharing the place with them, and refused to be fingerprinted or facially IDd. |
You're not very bright. You just parrot MAGA points but have you stopped to think about what you're saying? Immigration enforcement is a FEDERAL responsibility, not a local one. How do you propose that local cops 1) identify and 2) "capture" these folks? There a number categories of people who may be in this country without proper documentation. *visa overstays (they're not always POC--they can be white and from Europe or Canada) *"border crossers" who did not go through passport control at the border (how do you find them since they're not officially here?) *visa violators (other than overstays)--for example, people who enter legally but are working without authorization on a non-work visa. *people with temporary protections who lose status--e.g., initially allowed entry under programs like humanitarian parole but who remain after protections end or are revoked And then there are the folks who are here perfectly legally but who may "look" or "sound"foreign: *green card holders *people on the following visas: Tourists/business visitors (B-1/B-2 visas), Students (F-1 academic or M-1 vocational), Temporary workers (e.g., H-1B specialty occupations, H-2A/H-2B seasonal, L-1 intracompany transfers, O-1 extraordinary ability), Exchange visitors (J-1), Treaty traders/investors (E-1/E-2) *protected status holder such as refugees *asylees (granted asylum) *Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients *parolees (humanitarian or other parole) *victims of trafficking (T visa) or crime (U visa) Local cops are not tasked with ascertaining whether someone is here legally and then arresting them if they're not. Being here illegally is not a crime, even if your cult has told you it is. See Supreme Court case: In Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387 (2012), the Court explicitly stated: "As a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain present in the United States." |
Don't care about their victims. |
If a jurisdiction won't cooperate with ICE, how should ICE remove criminal aliens? |
What do you propose to solve the problem? |
Not the overkill actually happening. Means don't justify Ends. |
I've been thinking about this for a long time. Here goes: *start by dialing back the white supremacist/racist rhetoric *treat people with dignity and humanity--they are not criminals in most cases unless they committed actual crimes or entered without being processed at the border *get rid of the crazy daily quota imposed by Stephen Miller and develop a systematic plan for deporting people that is humane *as was done under Obama, focus on deporting criminals, gang members, and recent border crossers first *instead of hiring 10,000+ more ICE officers, hire more judges and staff to clear backlogs (faster fair trials mean quicker removals without long and costly detention) *increase incentives for voluntary self-deportation (it's cheaper in the long run than putting people in detention) *improve detention standards and reduce the need for detention for low-risk people by using tech like ankle monitors, check-ins, etc. that allow them to stay outside detention facilities while waiting for their trials *get rid of the masks and para-military outfits (they frighten everyone and decrease community trust in the LE community) *provide incentives to home countries to repatriate their citizens This is just a start. By now most Americans agree that we should have a well-controlled border--they just don't like the draconian tactics currently being used to deport people. |
That's what I keep saying. What about the actual criminals who now get to commit crimes happily because all resources are directed to detaining people wo work at Target or attend their immigration hearings. |

The worst was that Chicago apartment building raid where approximately 300 federal agents, supported by Black Hawk helicopters and flashbang grenades, raided a large apartment building on the South Side around 1am. Residents—including children and U.S. citizens—were pulled from their beds in the middle of the night, zip-tied, and held outside or in vans for hours. https://time.com/7323334/ice-raid-chicago-pritzker-trump/ |
