    Then why Trump fears going to court to prove his accusations? He declared them terrorists, so he can pursue deportations under INA, which entitles the deportees to a court hearing, yet he invoked a wartime 1798 law specifically to avoid having to prove his hypothesis.

    This is just Trump and the Central Park 5 all over again. They’re guilty because Trump feels they’re guilty. The fact they’re not actually guilty doesn’t matter.

    If you’re against authoritarianism, you should demand a trial and not just some schmuck politician labeling you a criminal being enough to send you to your death in some foreign prison.

    The fact that there’s not a uproar from the don’t tread on me crowds just reinforces the idea that they don’t see these people as like them. If this was some redneck that was randomly pointed at and said he’s a criminal and then deported to a foreign prison they would be upset. The fact that there aren’t just shows you that they see these guys as “the other”. And why do they see him as the other? That’s the question this cartoon is trying to answer…

      Given that the previous sentence says the opposite, I can’t tell - is this a typo?

      Also, what would change if they gave each gang member a trial and showcased their crimes before sending them off? Skipping due process and failing to share any evidence publicly smells very much like they were not actually criminals to me.

            Hold up are you calling me a racist? Or are you saying that Trump is a racist? Because just to clarify I’m El Salvadoran. Also did you just name people that were murdered in America by Americans? Like Ted Bundy’s victims? Dude all over the world people from the same country kill people from their country That is nothing new. You’re saying because there’s American murderers that it makes it OK to also have an illegal immigrant murderers? Honestly I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make and quite frankly it’s pretty weird. Did you really say Ron Goldman the dude that Was banging OJ’s wife? lol. What the hell does this have to do with this conversation? You are literally the same people that say the jail in El Salvador is exactly like the holocaust, And do you understand how crazy that sounds comparing a jail that has literally people that have been found guilty for murder and rape to innocent Jewish people. Oh man

              I called you dishonest. I said you committed the actions of a racist and bigot.

              The point i made is very simple. Every citizen does not have to account for the murders of their fellow citizen. Just as every immigrant does not have to account for the murders of their fellow immigrants. To make that assertion is racist and bigoted. I even explained how the people on the list were chosen.

              You also make assumptions about how i consider the prison. I don’t consider it “like the Holocaust” i consider it like a concentration camp. We shall see if they get around to mass executions.

              Also this prison may contain people who have committed murder and rape. But to assign that to everyone who is in there is a category error. In the case of the person we are talking about, there was no finding he committed any crime. In fact he was abducted and detained without trial, which means he is innocent, until proven otherwise. He was not even accused by the trump administration of murder or rape. He was accused of being in a gang after the fact without evidence.

              Statement: It’s good to have immigrants, it’s not good to have murderers.

                  When you cite a murder by ‘some illegal immigrant’ to justify the harm done to a completely unrelated, legally present individual, your justification does not discriminate. That’s collective punishment by nationality—by definition, bigoted and racist. I never called you those things; I called you dishonest. Your words speak for themselves.

          According to a study cited by The Sentencing Project, about 1% of people released from prison after serving time for a violent crime were subsequently arrested for murder within five years of release. So why focus on that one case, just because it is about an immigrant?

          Let me ask you a simple question what justifies the attempted coup? The overthrowing of democracy by a bunch of violent rioters storming the capital?

I’m not some crazy right wing person, there’s some things I agree with and there’s some things I disagree with. The people in CECOT Specifically are known violent gang members that even have the tattoos of their gang on their face they are never leaving they are there for the rest of their life. Which is good because the people of El Salvador can live peacefully and not have to worry about getting murdered on the street for pocket change or getting robbedwhile being on the bus Or extorted every month just for living in a certain community. The people that are proven to be violent murderers and rapist will never come out of that jail. But again I’m not so crazy right wing guy I’m from Massachusetts I voted Democrat my whole life

          It is possible to have multiple discussions about topics, each focusing on different topics with different levels of depth. For example, I can say “climate change is bad because it make home insurance prices go up”. That’s a shallow take on a narrow aspect of climate change, but it still makes a sound point. It doesn’t mention larger more important problems, but it also doesn’t ‘hurt the cause’.

            That’s not what I’m saying ? I’m asking, if You are a legal resident you would have a green card right? So wouldn’t they just be able to show that they have a green card to prove that they have legal residency? It’s a question. What I’m saying is by showing that you have a green card it proves that you are a legal resident. For example of someone tried to tell me that I wasn’t an American citizen I could just show them my passport and that ends that. And wouldn’t anyone that’s here legally have a green card? Or could they still be here legally before obtaining a green card?

              So you are walking down the street, being a super careful to always have your passport. Then a van pulls up and stuffs you in it. You declare you have a passport and are a citizen, but they don’t care. You didn’t get due process to show your documentation because they “mistakenly” put you down the “no due process” path.

              It isn’t really possible to assure due process for only select people, either everyone must have it or else anyone could have due process denied under a claim that they belong to the “no due process” class.

              Due process does not necessarily mean leniency, it just means a reasonable process and a chance to be heard and present your documentation and such. Without that guarantee, there’s no accountability of the enforcers and no guarantee you even can present your documentation.

              The short answer is - yes, there are a bunch of ways to be legally in the United States without a green card. These tend to be temporary, or contingent on other things, so harder to track and produce immediate evidence of.

              The longer answer is, it doesn’t matter. Deportation is a tool in the government’s tool kit for dealing with those who entered the country illegally - but Deportation is a process, with steps, due process and it requires the ability for the potential deportee to argue their case to an immigration judge. Being grabbed by masked thugs off the street, taking a brief layover in Louisiana while they fuel the plane and then being deported to a torture facility in El Salvador without so much as ever speaking to your lawyer is a contravention of your rights. Your human rights, your 5th Amendment rights, take your pick.

              Kilmar Abrego Garcia, for example, was never formally granted asylum. He missed the filing deadline of one year. However, in his original deportation trial he showed significant evidence and credible testimony that he had fled El Salvador to escape being forced to join the gang that was shaking down his family for protection money. The only reason he wasn’t deported after that original hearing was that a Judge granted him hold order - stating he specifically could not be deported to El Salvador because his life would be in danger. It’s unlikely he has any simple card or document that shows that order he could carry with him. In direct violation of that order, ICE sent him anyway. He’s almost certainly dead.

        Don’t spread that idea, that’s how we got here.

        The law is that a person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. (Yes, yes I know “for now” and the rule of law has ended you pedants let me have my modicum of hope.)

        For decades people have been “convicting” others in the court of public opinion which has caused the general public to think they know better than a judge and jury while only having information from hearsay, rumors, and the news. That leads them to disregard court findings and believe people to be guilty who are not and people to be innocent who are not. So people who they don’t like are going to prison in El Salvador and people they do like are president.

            Sort of, a criminal is someone who has been found guilty of committing a crime.

            The way we prove that guilt, from the perspective of the US, is through the courts. Until the guilt is proven through the courts they are not a criminal but the accused of an alleged crime. Really seems like far to many people like to glaze over that part and just jump straight to an accused being guilty without due process.

              It doesn’t say have been found guilty, it says is guilty. Someone who has committed a crime is guilty of it, whether or not it has been proven in court.

              justly chargeable with or responsible for a usually grave breach of conduct or a crime

              https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/guilty

              “Innocent until proven guilty” is a legal principle. Like I tried to explain, there’s different context where in a court you could say that they can’t consider someone guilty (and a criminal for that particular thing) until proven so, but you can still be a criminal outside of specific legal language for being guilty, meaning having committed a crime.

              Guilt also means different things, it can mean you have actually committed it (factual guilt seems to be the term for it) and legal guilt is the one proven and assigned in court.
