They didn't get due process, so there's no way to be sure that American citizens aren't getting sent there.

- PKop 1y agoOf course they're making that distinction but I'll accept your tacit agreement that it's ok as long as they're non citizens.
- mschuster91 1y agoThere have been reported cases where ICE just ignored people's legal residence status or that they also snatched up citizens who didn't have paperwork on them just for "walking while black". ICE doesn't reliably make any distinction, not since they hired thugs off of the streets and issued arrest quotas. Doesn't matter if the arrested have to be released later on.
- TheCoelacanth 1y agoI do not agree with that. In some cases it is acceptable to detain non-citizens for immigration-related offenses, but only if they receive due process to establish that they indeed should be detained. Any denial of due process to any person is a gross violation of our most important right. Without the guarantee of due process to everyone, no one has any rights because those in power can violate rights at a whim.
