I just think it's absurd that an illegal alien (and nobody disputes that he entered the US illegally) can somehow swear out an "affidavit" that avers that he's in "danger" if he's deported. And credulous federal immigration judges nod their heads sagaciously and swallow it hook, line, and sinker. I mean it's just completely bogus. It's worse than bogus: it's absolute bull shit.

It's UTTERLY OUTRAGEOUS that we have the system that we have where these crooks can game the system, get away with it, and laugh in our faces.

Then one guy shows up, Donald Trump, and actually tries to do what he promised he'd do on the campaign trail. And federal judges decide that they're the ones who conduct foreign policy and national security.

So, the unelected judges are the ones calling all the shots? Once again, this time with feeling: BULLSHIT.

I'm a licensed attorney, by the way. I just have had it with all this histrionic foaming at the mouth by our elites. THE RULE OF LAW!! THE RULE OF LAW!! Oh yes! The rule of law! Where was the LAW when Biden let millions of crooks cross the border? Where's the rule of law when we want to get rid of these crooks?!

I'm starting to think the Constitution is a suicide pact, after all.

Can you tell I'm frustrated? My apologies, Rod. I just have reached the limit on this stuff.

You know, I'd like to think that more of you are capable of disputing me without resorting to name-calling and insulting.

For the record, I don't believe that every illegal arrested by ICE deserves full due process. If found to be here illegally, then deport them. It would be utterly unfeasible to give the full court procedure to every single one of the millions.

This man is different. He was under legal protection. Whether he ought to have been given that protection is beside the point. He had it. And he was still snatched off the street and sent out of the country, into a supermax prison. The law was supposed to protect him, and it did not, because the Trump administration chooses to ignore the law.

Think about what happened here: government agents took a man into custody, against the law, and sent him abroad to a supermax prison.
