[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Visa overstays should be deported, but the punishment doesn't fit the "crime". It's a misdemeanor to overstay your visa.  It's like saying if you get a speeding ticket you deserve to be locked up in a cage and brutalized for six months.

How many MAGA have speeding tickets?  FFS, several MAGA terrorized US congress people and destroyed the Capitol, yet our illustrious (/s) POTUS gave them pardons.[/quote]

Deportation is a reasonable consequence for a long term willful civil violation. Long detentions in horrible circumstances are not. That is the part of this process that needs to change.[/quote]

But I thought he was staying in detention in order to fight deportation?  Others are in detention to avoid flight risk and to facilitate immigration hearings with the subjects actually showing up for them. [/quote]

In theory, yes. In practice, the immigration courts are backed up and/or other factors leading to very long detentions. And there is perhaps a perverse incentive to keeping people in detention for a long time because these prisons are for profit. So I don’t think ICE should be detaining people until they know there is a low wait time for court.[/quote]
