[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did he follow the proper procedures?  I see he’s married to a US citizen and is trying to get a green card, but I also read he overstayed a 90 day tourist visa. So wouldn’t he need to go back to Ireland and wait there for some type of visa to come back or issuance of his green card?

It’s a sad situation, but he’s in ICE detention because he refuses to leave voluntarily and follow some sort of process?[/quote]

These are paperwork violations, not crimes. Why are these people being subjected to imprisonment and torture?[/quote]

Seriously.  Even if this is true (and I've heard the opposite), what kind of demented person would think it's appropriate to lock someone up for months in inhumane conditions of a paperwork issue?  [/quote]

Visa overstays are just as unlawful as someone illegally crossing the southern border on foot.

This guy feels entitled to stay illegally because he is white.

I’m glad that immigration enforcement is not only targeting POC.

None of these people should be treated like criminals unless and until they commit an actual crime. Being in the country illegally is a civil violation. An issue of paperwork, not a crime. ICE shouldn't even be armed. It'd be like arming postal workers. They deal with PAPERWORK ISSUES. If someone they are investigating poses such a threat that they feel the need to be armed, they should involve local police or the FBI. But [b]ICE are not police officers. They do not need to be armed to sort out paperwork issues. [/b][/quote]

Thank you for reminding everyone about this! Maybe someone from senate Dems reads this and learns something. They are still so afraid of being seen as anti cops. Maybe framing ICE as paper pushers will get them to see the absurdity of agents outfitted for war.[/quote]

Agree that this is an excellent point. Especially like the comparison to arming the USPS but the contrast works for most federal agencies. [/quote]

Thank you. I referenced postal workers specifically because they actually have one of the more dangerous jobs, and yet no one is clamoring for them to be armed, but yes, these people are paper pushers and there's literally no reason for them to be out in the streets larping as Rambo to capture people just living their lives who didn't fill out the right paperwork.
