Alien Enemies’ or Innocent Men? Inside Trump’s Rushed Effort to Deport 238 Migrants

"Seeking to provide a fuller picture of who was imprisoned, a team of Times reporters and researchers ran the 238 names through three U.S. public records databases, checked backgrounds in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Chile, scoured court documents and news articles, spoke to dozens of family members and interviewed experts on Tren de Aragua."

The reporters did find that out of the 238 men deported, 32 were guilty of grave crime and another 24 guilty of committing lower level offenses in the USA like speeding in a school zone, trespassing or operating an improperly registered vehicle. But as for the rest...

 

"But for the others, including Mr. Suárez, the musician, The Times found no evidence of a criminal background, beyond offenses related to being unauthorized migrants. Mr. Suárez’s family presented official certificates from Venezuela, Colombia and Chile — where he lived in the past — saying he had no convictions in those nations."

? Most confusing. Is entering the US illegally still crime or not? If so, bye bye.

 

Or has the old "everyone is liable if they break the law" mantra you rolled out when Trump was being persecuted as the left knew(correctly) he would beat their corrupt senile candidate in a landslide no longer true?

There is also the notion of let the punishment fit the crime. Do you have any familiarity with the The US Constitution. It bans cruel and unusual punishment. It also grants the right to habeas corpus as the Supreme Court confirmed.

 

And thanks for the reflexive deflections about Trump's legal travails.

He will start deporting the Native Americans next.
