Note that many of those deported aren't gang members and in fact don't even have criminal records.
I won't knock your source, thanks for sharing one. I will encourage all posters to know their source.
Ad Fontes Media has a great tool for this. More neutral in it's assement than most 'bias rating' sites.
Trump declared the gangs as terrorist organizations. This was done to open up the toolbox to more things that can be done against them, including use of the Alien Enemies Act. Maybe it is stretching the legal definition/use of the act but Biden opened that door with
his DOJ stretching laws for their attacks on Trump the last few years = precedent set, and if it escalates to SCOTUS, fine let's see what they say. I'm not sure of the jurisdiction of the Federal District judge in this matter - I fully expect it to escalate quickly above him. However, application and enforcement of the law on the books falls to the DOJ under the executive branch, again
Biden DOJ set the precedent.
As for criminal records, from your article
of the 261 people on the three flights, saying 137 were deported under the Alien Enemies Act, 101 were Venezuelans deported under regular immigration proceedings, and 23 were members of the MS-13 gang.
The TdA and MS13 gang members have earned jailtime by being gang members. US Gov't hasn't provided proof of this publicly, but I'm, willing to bet gang association is a major factor in finding and apprehending them. I don't need the proof, they can sit in jail until their hearings. The others 137 under Alien Enemies Act can also sit in jail until a hearing. We know where they are, they aren't able to cause more trouble, and they can get their hearings in due time. However, it needs to be pointed out they are NOT American citizens and therefore they do not have the same rights citizens enjoy. Coming into the country illegally is breaking a law (ie, a criminal), and until Biden it was enforceable by immediate removal until his admin instituted catch-and-release and no-show court dates 4y out. All of their asylum claims can be heard eventually, but we don't have gang members roaming our countryside, breaking laws and being released to cause more mayhem by blue cities.
They're not deporting them, they're sending them to a hellhole El Salvadorian prison. (and we are paying El Salvador) Most chillingly, El Salvador has offered to take Americans. Marco Rubio says he's "profoundly grateful" for the offer.
My opinion, but I'm good with that. A foreign prison is much more of a deterrent to crime than an American prison, for Americans or aliens. Don't wanna go? Don't commit the crimes. Leveraging a foreign prison saves us money, and for the aliens we don't have to provide them citizen's rights as they would be afforded in American prisons. Our domestic prisons are overrun, I don't think anyone can deny it - democrat laws (state/local) and (lack of) enforcement have gotten more criminals out of jail, but they remain over crowded. What would be your solution? More domestic jails, at larger expense for people that shouldn't be here in the first place? I'd go twith Trump's current solution that is if you arrive for asylum, wait outside until your hearing; enter illegally and break our laws, wait in prison (anywhere, but cheaper is better). I cannot express how deeply idgaf on gang members in a foreign prison. I'll hold up Laken Reilly and the others anytime anyone wants to argue it, and if you're on the left I'll ask you 'if it saves one life'.
Now we are talking about sending US citizens there that vandalized teslas while actively pardoning people that attacked the capitol and its guards to try and kill the VP and installing fake electors.
Didn’t take long to start shipping undesirables off to camps.
Do you agree or not that those vandalizing Tesla's should be held accountable to our laws? We can have a separate discusssion on the merit and means of such a protest, but at this point they have committed crimes, endangerd the lives of innocent citizens (typically liberals who bought the cars before Elon switched sides, really doesn't make sense). But you think they should be allowed to continue these destructive actions?
The pardons, and J6ers....okay, big ole can'o'worms there. Let's take that to a separate thread. I assume there is one already.
PS - please send me a post card when you get sent to a camp. Didn't happen in his first term, won't happen now. Unless, of course, you decide to break the law and earn some prison time. Then, you get what you asked for. I hope you don't.
