WTH is this? They can't or won't fix their error? Is this the state of the US justice system?  https://wtop.com/maryland/2025/04/trump-administration-concedes-maryland-father-from-el-salvador-was-mistakenly-deported-and-sent-to-mega-prison/[/quote]
Why did you Democrats create this open border sh*t show?[/quote]

It turns out, governing is hard.  MAGA is experiencing this but blaming Biden for it rather than turning their brains on and realizing that this is a large country with big issues and lots of laws to deal with lots of situations.

Ignoring all of it and saying "Deport 100 people, don't bother me with details about who they are or whether they are removable!" leads to disasters.  As we see now.  [/quote]

DP. Problem is, it is a disaster but really only affecting a few people who are the deportee and their family members. 
A few of these mistakes, maybe even a few hundred of these mistakes, are but a grain of sand in the Sahara, in comparison to the number of people who have been stopped from coming in at the border and/or lawfully deported.
Unfortunate but I do think the majority are ok with this as the cost of getting things done.[/quote]

This is not the cost of getting things done if you expect competence. Do you? The mistake we have seen in the last three months are ASTONISHING. The lack of accountability is SHOCKING. Why do you accept such incompetence from our elected officials????[/quote]

Because I know how extremely complex things are, and our systems work most of the time, but nothing can be perfect. 
We accept those kinds of risks all the time. We drive on roads knowing there’s a small chance of getting into a fatal accident. We get medical treatments knowing there’s a small chance of something going wrong. But we don’t stay at home and do nothing because those risks exist.

Activists would have us believe we shouldn’t do any immigration enforcement because mistakes can happen, but pragmatists recognize that can’t be a reason to stay home and do nothing.[/quote]

This is the United States. Our jurisprudence, our entire system of justice, due process in particular, is premised on the value statement: it is better for 10 guilty to go free than 1 innocent person be unjustly imprisoned. This is called Blackstone's Ratio, and it is also the premise of the British system. Our founding fathers repeated this principle over and over again. The people who believe the opposite are call "authoritarian," and we rejected them way back in the 1700s.  [/quote]
