    If they detain you, you still have access to lawyers and others who are working to protect these people.

    Have you been skipping the news for weeks?

      No. There are plenty of lawyers and groups (ACLU) working to get these people to a judge. Hell, even the Supreme Court ruled that the deportations must stop to give them due process.

      Are they following those orders? I don’t think so.

      But to say that there aren’t people fighting for these people is just flat out, blatantly and categorically wrong.

      How does Muhmud Khalil have a lawyer if what I said was wrong?

        You are wrong though. The majority get shipped off no lawyers no nothing. Just gone.

        You seem to be choosing the few people who were able to get a lawyer in time… In your hypothetical, that is not guaranteed or even something I’d bet on. And you are also pointing out that they won’t obey judges orders anyways so… I’m very confused as to what argument you think you are making.

        Anyone who sees anyone being kidnapped should do their civic duty to stop it. Just because it suddenly seems to be government representatives that are doing the kidnapping now does not change that. You don’t know which it is.

        I do wonder how many people have already been disappeared with no cameras around and they are just “missing” according to their families who can’t/don’t want to go to the cops in case it was the cops all along.
