FTA: This year, Associated Press reporters observed immigration court proceedings in 21 cities. Hearings repeatedly ended with cases dismissed by the government, allowing agents to arrest immigrants in courthouse hallways. AP reporters also reviewed internal records and spoke to judges, clerks and lawyers for the departments of Justice and Homeland Security to gain insight about the scope of the administration's effort.

... The man was doing what the law required, and brought along his wife, a legal resident, and their 7-month-old infant. ...
Yet the Trump administration continues to ascribe the "violent criminal" attribute to such immigrants.
Maybe the Trump admin should be deported for all their lies?

None of this would be happening if these people had not come in this country without an invite.

Like it was "clever" to suddenly start an Epstein investigation after years of saying there is no need for an Epstein investigation because there is no there there.
This is short sighted and stupid and will do nothing but increase the distrust of the People in our government.

I think unlimited immigration is far less harmful than what the Trump administration is doing.
Most immigrants work and contribute.
ICE is a Racist and Un American pack of Thugs.

One of the reasons these people came to this country was to avoid authoritarian regimes and banana republics.
I guess Trump's a master of the bait and switch, too.
So much winning.

So Republicans kept saying that immigrants need go through the legal process and now they're being told they'll be deported for it.

For all of you Trumpers who bleated: "We want them out because they aren't doing it the "right" way," wtf can you defend when those who ARE going to court to "do it the right way" are also targeted?

Every lawyer and judge associated with this should be disbarred and/or removed.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"[12]
There's the invite. Oopsie daisy.

On a continent without laws. The Native American was still stuck in a stone age when the rest of the world was entering an industrial revolution, and they would still be hammering rocks into tools if it weren't for Europeans.

#15 As usual, Left Hind Turds, the point completely flew over your pointy head.
Not at all unexpected.

And instead of hammering rocks, they're now mostly extinct. What an improvement.

"If it weren't for Europeans" . . . Oh my God, the list of horrors has filled myriad volumes and is only growing larger.
The Native Americans had a self-sustaining economy and a culture that lasted tens of thousands of years.
Yeah, boy, capital and development really improved the long-term outlook for the Americas.

#18 Thank you for that excellent retort. You hit the nail on the head with it.

LOL idiotic post, North Americane were 574 indian tribe, and was divided in Cultures of savagery. Culture of human sacrifice even in what is now America.
Human Sacrifice and Ritualised Violence in the Americas before the European Conquest www.cambridge.org
FFS even the Anasazi people grew and collapsed their "culture"
What happened to teh Anasazi people ... www.ancient-code.com
From a %M to close to 400M I would say the US is much better than the cultures of old.
How do Americans not know their own Native Tribal history?

#21 Ah, another meaningless post that references nothing and retorts even less.
Congratulations on continuing your (apparently) unending streak of nonsense.

The colonists brought technology, education and law - HAHAHAHA!!! Seriously, re-read how they required being taught how to survive by the indigenous.
Do you know why legislation passed to have only ONE day of Thanksgiving instead of hundreds?

Jefferson wanted to preserve the Native American language but kill all the people.
You can look it up.
