Ok found what you are talking about. This is from 2008 but i assume its still happening.
But why weren't people who are supposedly watching this quite before trump. It really boggles my mind.
- hprotagonist 8y agowhen you endow an agency with the ability and belief that it can completely and totally disregard due process, all sorts of horrible things happen.
- mikeash 8y agoIt helps that being in the country illegally is merely a civil infraction, meaning it doesn’t have the same standard of guilt that an actual crime does. No “beyond a reasonable doubt” here!
- mikeash 8y agoLots of people were fighting this long before Trump. With things like his ridiculous “travel ban” and now his policy of separately imprisoning children, Trump is drawing attention from less involved people too.
