Immigration Issues

You just don't think that illegals caught driving drunk (or committing any other crime) should be deported?

Why deport only illegal immigrants for committing crimes? Seems your logic equally applies to legal immigrants as well.

And he was released by border patrol and allowed to live in the US for 5 years until his court hearing. That's insanity!

So you prefer he gets off scott-free, instead of faceing trial. (by being deported)
If you think that is worse, he needs 'Due Process' to determan that. (which apperently takes 5 years)

Do you think a country should not distinguish between these categories and treat everybody who crosses the border as citizens?

Please tell me why it's so hard for people from south of us to get citizenship? Why it is 'illegal' to even cross that border?
We, and Canadians, can cross our common border with no fuss. Canadians in the US have mostly the same rights as us.

He was in the country illegally. So why was he not deported after his first DUI? I think "sanctuary city/state" policies that prohibit locals from working with ICE to deport even criminal illegals.

The problem here is that sanctuary cities aren't about protecting illegals, but making society function more smoothly.

When people have no legal recourse for wrongs you see violence as people resort to illegal recourse. Sanctuary cities are about having people not need to fear incidental contact with the legal system to avoid the path of resorting to violence that you see with the criminal world.

That shows that even Canadians are worried. Even though ICE doesn't target them.

Cynthia Olivera — born in Mississauga, Ont., but living in Los Angeles — was arrested last month when she and her husband went to an immigration office to complete an interview for her U.S. citizenship application. Paula Callejas of Montreal was in the process of finalizing a work visa when she was arrested for a misdemeanor — and then transferred to an ICE facility.

Olivera and Callejas's families told CBC News the weeks since their arrests have been a nightmare, filled with phone calls to lawyers and ICE bureaucracy.

Notice anything about those people's names?

Sound Latin American. I have no doubt that racism is part of this. Cruelty for the kicks of it is another part of it.

‘We are arresting the mayor right now, per the deputy attorney general’

The federal officer who arrested the mayor of New Jersey’s largest city outside an immigration detention center in May suggested that he was making the arrest at the direction of the Justice Department’s No. 2 official, Todd Blanche, according to law enforcement body camera footage described in a new court filing.

The filing, from Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.), sheds new light on the chaotic scene on May 9 when Democratic lawmakers and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, attempting to conduct an oversight visit, clashed with immigration agents. Baraka was arrested for trespassing, but that charge was dropped. McIver was later charged with assaulting federal agents; she is seeking to get the case dismissed.

POLITICO has not reviewed the bodycam video. Although the footage was submitted as an exhibit in the case, it was not yet publicly available. A spokesperson for the Justice Department did not respond to requests for comment, and a response from the Department of Homeland Security did not address whether Blanche had ordered the agents to make the arrest.

The special agent’s apparent suggestion that he was acting at Blanche’s direction is the latest sign that top Justice Department officials are harnessing the power of law enforcement against Democrats and other perceived enemies of President Donald Trump. Trump’s DOJ has opened investigations into various figures Trump disdains, including Jack Smith, James Comey, former Homeland Security aides who criticized him and many others.

The description of the bodycam footage submitted in court last week by McIver’s attorneys bolsters that account. Quoting from the footage, her attorneys wrote that the special agent on the phone said of Baraka during the call: “Even though he stepped out, I am going to put him in cuffs.”

Then the agent made the comment about arresting the mayor “per the deputy attorney general.” Moments later, law enforcement officials came out of the gate and arrested Baraka, setting off a scrum involving the mayor and members of Congress. McIver is accused in a three-count indictment of slamming the special agent with her forearm, “forcibly” grabbing him and using her forearms to strike another agent. She has pleaded not guilty.
