It is illegal for a country to refuse the return of a citizen. We're seeing this in Syria with ISIS fighters who are held in camps because their home countries do not want them returned.

1) So?

2) ICE doesn't care who they round up.

3) Some of them are going to be American citizens.

4) Other countries don't feel like being pushed around by His Orangeness.

Why C-17's? Put them on C-130's with jump seats.
