On the night of Saturday, March 15, three planes touched down in El Salvador, carrying 261 men deported from the United States. A few dozen were Salvadoran, but most of the men were Venezuelans the Trump Administration had designated as gang members and deported, with little or no due process. I was there to document their arrival.

@#64 ... When you come in the country illegally you have no "due process" rights. ...
Does the US Constitution Protect Undocumented Immigrants?
clearwaterlawgrouptricities.com
... The Constitution protects all people living in the United States, regardless of immigration status. Most constitutional provisions apply based on personhood, not citizenship.
In other words, if an individual is physically present in the US, they are entitled to the protections granted by the Constitution. This includes the right to due process and equal protection under the law. ...
What else yer got?
@#67
Listening to the an Appeals Court hearing this afternoon, one of the Judges asked, ~so, if what Pres Trump is doing, then I could be sent off to a prison in El Salvador, with no Due process?~ I paraphrase. Here's an article ...
Y'all could've picked me up': Judge rips Trump admin over deportations without due process, says government could have thrown me on a plane'
lawandcrime.com
... "The question is whether the implementation of this proclamation without any process to determine whether people qualify under it -- I mean if the government says we don't have to give a process for that," she said.
"I mean y'all could've picked me up Saturday and thrown me on a plane thinking I'm a member of Tren de Aragua and given me no chance to protest it, and somehow it's a violation of presidential war powers for me to say, No I'm not. I'd like a hearing.'" ...
And for the record (once again this evening), I will say that if you are in this Country illegally, you should not be here.
Yeah, that i my view.
However, and this is a huge however, companies have built their success upon the use of illegal immigrants.
So, maybe, the goal should not to be the illegal immigrants, but the reason why they are drawn into our awesome Country.... jobs.
At the risk of being redundant ...
An excerpt from the Border Patrol Union webpage that was deleted during fmr Pres Trump's term:
web.archive.org
Walls and fences are temporary solutions that focus on the symptom (illegal immigration) rather than the problem (employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens).
Walls and fences are only a speed bump. People who want to come to the United States to obtain employment will continue to go over, under, and around the walls and fences that are constructed.
Walls and fences will undoubtedly result in an increase in fraudulent documents and smuggling through the Ports of Entry.
Walls and fences do not solve the issue of people entering the country legally and staying beyond the date they are required to leave the country, a problem which will undoubtedly increase as more walls and fences are constructed.
@#64 ... We're done dealing with you idiots ...
Who are the "we" of which your current alias speaks?
