Why? Because they have heard stories of others having difficulty reentering.
i think they should think long and hard about whether they want to continue to stay in the US. it may be better for them to return to their own homeland.

Would I have any prayer of pulling this off? Absolutely not. That’s because I am an American citizen, and the UK has laws that are enforced without apology. Simple as that.
Can we just be like them and skip all the pearl-clutching and histrionics? Either we are a country that cares about its citizens or we are not. We can’t claim to govern well and then take all comers in the name of “compassion”. None of us go to sleep each night without locking our doors.
If you are here illegally, the pucker factor should keep you up at night.
So you'd be fine if your kid just got caught up, decided to stay and ended up suddenly arrested and incarcerated in CECOT (good for the US good for the UK). He (and you) and no notice. No opportunity to contest the allegation. No opportunity to have a lawyer. No opportunity for the two of you to communicate. And no idea when, if ever, he would be released from CECOT. And you're ok with that.
What part of "deciding to stay" not being legal is hard for you to understand?
What part of “detained by ICE even though you have proven citizenship” is hard for you to understand? Are you just ignoring us all saying that over and over or does your head hurt?
