  • The usual way. It’s not hard.

    Oh do explain, since it’s so easy.

    A regular jail, where they have access to a lawyer and the other protections of due process enshrined in our most fundamental laws.

    But I thought America’s prison system was broken too?

    No one is saying for criminals to do whatever they want. We just want you lot to acknowledge that the law of the land ensures due process to everyone, not just citizens.

    Finally you say something we can all agree upon.

    Your analogy isn’t applicable.

    Because you don’t want it to be… Sure it isn’t applicable to every single situation, but I’d be willing to guess it applies to a majority.

    These people aren’t being arrested mid-crime, they’re kidnapping them from their homes, off the street, at their jobs, and again, at their legal immigration hearings.

    Isn’t being in a country when you’re not supposed to be “mid-crime”?

    And as much as you clearly want it to be “kidnapping”, it’s not. It’s called “unlawful arrest” or “wrongful arrest”, and a quick Google search shows these people are about to get a large settlement.

    Again, it’s not perfect, but nothing is. All I can hope is that the actual victims are compensated handsomely.






  • How are you supposed to get a warrant for a person you can’t even prove is who they say they are?

    And I’m pretty sure the gestapo had uniforms.

    Further, if someone is actively avoiding law enforcement, wouldn’t you think it would make sense to not look like law enforcement?

    Also, where are you supposed to send a criminal that is awaiting deportation?

    I understand it doesn’t feel good, but I know plenty of people that followed the process, and obtained citizenship legally, and you are all saying “fuck that, let’s have criminals do whatever they want” because it doesn’t feel good.

    By your logic, you would speed down the road in your car, and when you got caught, it’s not fair because the cop was in an unmarked car, and wasn’t specifically looking for you.

    Or just maybe you made the choice to speed, so you have to pay the consequences if you get caught?
