I’m not suggesting that it’s efficient. I’m suggesting that it’s apparently legal at least on its face.

I suspect that in the case of people being convicted of “terrorist acts” and going to jail for 20 years a judge will be involved.

Detention without bail for the duration of their due process is legal for certain crimes (actually I believe it’s even mandatory) that a non-citizen is accused of in the INA. There also does not appear to be any language in the INA that sp

Exactly. I’m no fan of them and have had a battle or two in the past with a previous house I owned. My issue was not due to ignorance, but a weird interpretation of a statute. I had a tree die. I removed it because it was unsightly. I

Whenever there is an administration change someone is going to be throwing out “the sky is falling” and “we are going to horribly die” by (fill in the blank) scenarios. It never happens and it won’t happen this time either.

Why? I hear that all the time, but no one can ever really explain why its important for me to need to feel like I am on the “winning side” of two subjective evils in a contest?

Got it. You disregard the opinions of people who have seen dementia first hand in favor of a DNC talking point. “Don’t trust your lying eyes! Biden is as sharp as a tack”. I know what I saw, and I am sure your dad did too. I spent years

My view of Biden’s mental state is colored by my own experience with my father’s dementia that was happening alongside Biden’s administration. What I saw in Biden, mirrored my father’s decline minus about 18 months. We took the car keys aw

We had kids younger (very early in our 20s) and while it was difficult financially for a time, I definitely wouldn’t change it. Especially after seeing friends who waited. I think having younger kids in your later 30s and 40s put some har

If you are traffic stopped by a law enforcement officer for any reason you are “detained”. So in that sense US citizens are detained all the time . Nothing new here about that. They apparently detained him because someone missed a court

It’s only power if the recipients view the US positively, or if other countries view the US positively for that aid. Unfortunately I think it backfires when US power of all sorts (both hard and soft) is viewed as meddling. At that point is
