Joe, you talk as if you truly expect ICE to perform daily, 24 hours, perfectly.
No, I expect them to not be thugs, not shoot soccer moms in the face or male nurses in the back.
Even the arrest of Mangione was not perfect since now his lawyers managed to get off the case, a death penalty.
That had nothing to do with his arrest and everything to do with the fact that what he did doesn't qualify under the Federal Death Penalty statute. (In fact, I would argue there's no Federal jurisdiction here at all). He shot one guy. It wasn't a hate crime or an act of terrorism. He was just a guy with long-term medical issues who took out an insurance executive.
My comments are to say no legal officer or system is perfect. You have mentioned 3 cases yet so far
Three too many. I could list dozens more, but the overall problem is how they are being handled.
Instead of sensibly going after people who either have orders of removal OR have been convicted of crimes, they are picking up anyone on the street, regardless of their status.
CE has arrested thousands of aliens, and it simply boggles the imagination you have they could have been perfect.
I'd be happy if they were relatively competent. Take the Midway Blitz campaign here in Chicago netted 313 people. Except only a handful of them had criminal records. This is utterly insane.
Yes, what is legal for a Chinese woman who shows up in the USA. Did she follow laws or did she show up as an illegal alien. If she followed the laws, why does her husband support illegal aliens?
Most Chinese who claim asylum here usually come over on tourist visas, and then claim asylum when they get here, which is perfectly legal under the law.
In fact, 79% of Chinese asylum claims are approved.
Just because I follow a law doesn't mean I don't think the should be changed, or that current enforcement is kind of stupid.
But again, when you have a FASCIST GOVERNMENT ignoring it's own rules, none of us are safe.
