I'm not a fan of the skirting of due process from the administration, but I also do not believe in obstructing them or outing officers to the end of hurting them in the personal and professional lives. There is lack of acknowledgement of reality from left leaning people that one of Trumps big campaign items was getting rid of illegal aliens and he won on this, it must be acknowledged or you are part of the problem. My first point and last point can co-exist and did largely under the Obama administration(which held the deportation record prior to Trump). But what really intrigues me is why are they doing this in such a fast tracked way. All I can figure is they think a Democrat may win in the next election, and they don't want these people held up in courts so it can be reversed, they want them purged.

The champions of democracy are suddenly worried about a democratically elected president enacting the will of the people who elected him. Truth is stranger than fiction.

  I didn't vote for Trump, but I can completely understand the desire to be rid' of illegal immigrants that do not respect our laws and not looking to get right with the system. Where I am originally from it was basically 8/10 drug related crime arrests was someone that had illegal status and it was such an issue the police force would essentially pull anyone over that even looked Mexican, straight up racial profiling. This is a problem of our own creation and we have ignored it for 2 generations by letting immigration law go unenforced and while also not improving the path to citizenship for those who are law abiding and want to be a proper citizen or legal resident. Immigration is the primary wedge issue to drive people apart like abortion has been, but now it doesn't have the same luster because it's no longer a federal issue, but a state one.
