[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know the number of unlawfully present individuals who have received a final order of removal? It was looking for numbers online and saw in 2024 it was 1.4 mil. Wouldn’t this be the group targeted for deportation? Not people with pending benefit applications unless they were found inadmissible?[/quote]

One can be lawfully present and have an order of deportation.

IMO if you are going to go out and protest ICE you should at least take a few minutes to understand how people- legally (with a visa) or illegally present -  can get an order of deportation.

One way that can affect the most average normal person is that immigration law has its own definition of felony and it doesn’t have to match the definition of state or local law. It’s very easy for someone to get arrested for something minor , get a 12 month jail sentence, have almost all the sentence suspended, and as a result be immediately deportable. One has to make sure they have a lawyer who is knowledge of both criminal and immigration law.

And yes these persons are criminals bc they committed a crime. However I feel the majority of people felt ‘targeting criminals’ meant those who committed murder, etc not the person living down the street who has a kid, spouse, and job but made a mistake when the were younger by shoplifting and never did anything else wrong were the kind of people to be targeted. But they are targeted because they are easy, the already has an order of removal.

So if an ICE protestor really was sincere in helping, they would being doing something worthwhile like making sure the local community had knowledge public defenders of immigration law, they would help those facing charges understand the impact of their case and outcome on their immigration status, and they would work to change the immigration law. All of these things or just one of the would have a far greater impact that screaming at ICE in the streets[/quote]
