These people are thugs.

I hope one or more Marines beat them up.

Why is the devious Trumpf junta picking on our United States Marines?

FFS, why?

We are readying US Marines for combat against the people of Iran.

Kharg Island could be a hecatomb for our brave young boys and girls.

And Trumpf does this to them?

This is unreal in the middle of a war and a partial government shutdown.

@#6 ... This is unreal in the middle of a war and a partial government shutdown. ...

An example of understatement as used in the English language.

"These people are thugs", that's why we're deporting them. Hopefully one or more marines do beat them up.

We're deporting ICE?

Are we going to give them due process first, or just treat them the way they treat everyone else?

Who in the admin decided this was an actual good idea. I mean, these men and women have made a decision to put their lives on the line for their country, and some moron decides that it would be a good idea to alienate some of them before they are even sworn in. When I think, well they can't get any more stupid, and then they do.

People with no criminal record, which is ~75% of people we send to the camps, aren't thugs.

That's the thing about you people and your witch hunts.
You always find your witch.
Doesn't matter what she's accused of; her existence means guilt.

"outside graduation events for the nation's newest Marines"

Is this the worst of the worst? Violent criminals and gang members?

It is really strange though. You'd think out of anybody, they'd give Marines a pass. Are they running low on innocent people to harass?

Having gone through boot camp at Parris Island I can tell you how important is it for recruits to finally see their families again after 3 months of hard training. You're going to see people who just spent 3 straight months having their young brains rewired and learning to be warriors snap if their moms or grandparents get arrested just for showing up.
