I think you’re in for a rude awakening if you think the majority is down with sending people that aren’t actually violent criminals to horrifying prisons in other countries.
They aren’t taken lightly. This man was in fact detained based on that testimony and went through immigration court system. But they’re also not ****ing arbiters of truth, and we shouldn’t be sending people to foreign prisons on the assumption that CIs are infallible.
I suppose, but anecdotally I’m not seeing a lot of support for this transition from removing the criminals terrorizing America to some Venezuelan guy with a tattoo amongst most of the conservatives I chat with.
Your coalition on removing more than the criminals and people who entered illegally over the past few years is much narrower than you think. I don’t think the rest of the country broadly shares my views on immigration policy either, but you seem to forget there’s a middle ground between permissive policies and literally sending non-violent people to prisons built for terrorists in El Salvador.
Sure, it’s why we have courts though. Nobody forced the Trump Admin to pretend we’re under siege and use the Alien Enemies Act to violate due process.
The world you think you live in must be terrifying.
The types of people who attend law school and become judges being married to the types of people who get social science degrees and get jobs at large organizations is not something I need a report to understand. It doesn’t mean the judges are running a crime ring.
Not with allegations, but it’d be semi-helpful when it comes to whether or not someone is a criminal we should imprison. If we just assume the courts can’t be trusted then there’s no limit to what you can justify. What if a CI claims *you* are a gang member? Should you face an immediate firing squad? The courts might be keeping you safe from justice after all.
