[quote=Anonymous]So we all get on the same page about due process and about asylum, can we start with the ones who are not "scary-looking"?  We can start with those who were in the US legally, having applied for asylum.

Reuters analyzed the cases of 50 of the deportees and 27 of them had pending immigration court dates!! Over half of the 50 they looked at.

These people are NOT ILLEGAL.

These people have been already been interviewed by a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) asylum officer for a credible fear interview and were found to have  a credible fear of persecution or torture.

To the Karoline Leavitt impersonator or anyone defending these deportations, please explain how it is legal, ethical, or in any way ok to:

1. disregard a USCIS officer's initial finding that there is a significant possibility the person could be eligible for asylum

2. violate International law (the principle of non-refoulement) (in this case, I would think being sent to a human rights abusing prison is at the very least comparable to being sent to their own country where there is a credible fear of persecution or torture)

3. violate due process, guaranteed to all persons in our Constitution

I don't see how any of these is defensible.
