What percentage of the US population is comprised of Americans?

@pdockal Except it is written in the constitution and not just the SCOTUS.

@pdockal Nobody except the U.S. Constitution!!

The US Constitution ensures all immigrants have due process, but rights depend on legal status and time spent in the US.
Even though all people in the US have due process rights, for noncitizens, the specifics of the process and the extent of protections vary. The term noncitizen applies to people with legal documents as well as those without any documents, including people here on visas, with lawful permanent status or without a legal immigration status.

There is a “sliding scale of different protections that people can have depending on what their [immigration] status is

@pdockal Exactly but your cult leader is denying that and illegally detaining people and deporting them to random places.


And no. Rights are not dependent on legal status. The constitution literally says everyone.'

Your cult leader has done away with due process and even deports random people going through the legal process for being brown.

Hell your cult is being sued right now because ICE detained and abused an army veteran again for being brown.

In 1996, Congress specifically authorized the executive branch to conduct non-judicial deportations NOT SUBJECT TO DUE PROCESS.
Barack Obama was famously labeled “deporter in chief” by critics in the immigrant-rights community

@pdockal Again, the constitution is the supreme law. Period. That is literally what the word constitution means.

And we get it blame the black guy. Obama didn't round out random people without due process, without warrants, and in violation of court rulings and ship them to concentration camps and random countries.

But we get it. If Trump nuked NYC you would be making excuses.

Even Superman, an alien from Planet Krypton, is protected by the Constitution?

Obama administration detained families and unaccompanied children, a practice that drew widespread condemnation. The facilities used to hold these migrants became a point of contention and misrepresentation during later political debates. Obama administration was known for a high number of deportations. Over his two terms, Obama deported more migrants than any previous president, earning him the title of "Deporter-in-Chief" from immigration advocates.
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA) of 1996, signed by President Bill Clinton, broadened the types of crimes for which both undocumented immigrants and legal residents could be automatically detained and deported. This legislation set the stage for a major expansion of the immigration detention system, including the use of privately-run, for-profit prisons. Under the IIRAIRA, a wider range of offenses, including minor ones, could subject an individual to mandatory detention.
The long-term effects of these policies are still debated. While some argue the laws were necessary to strengthen the immigration system, critics contend they led to the mass criminalization of immigrants and laid the groundwork for today's detention and deportation problems.

@sree251

Clinton: Reforms under IIRAIRA made it harder to claim asylum by imposing a one-year filing deadline and limiting judicial review.

@sree251

the language of the Fifth Amendment is interpreted to protect undocumented immigrants

Do you understand the word interpreted?

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow

The Department of Homeland Security is reopening the Karnes and Dilley detention centers in Texas.
The administration has also expanded contracts with private companies to increase detention capacity at existing facilities.
Existing facilities in New Jersey, Ohio, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Mississippi have all expanded contracts.

Do you understand the word existing ?????

@pdockal We know. They just gave a very obviously suspect shell corp billions to build a concentration camp.

But they are also looking to ship 30k to Gitmo and are deporting random people to Costa Rica, El Salvador, and now Uganda of all places.

It doesn't matter if some of those facilities already exist if the people who are detained are detained illegally and trafficked across state lines.

Just because you say you are a LEO doesn't make committing multiple felonies legal because of your feelings.

@pdockal
No, I don't. Who is doing the interpreting?

@sree251

SCOTUS
congress
