This is a really awful tactic:
- Immigrant with an ongoing removal case shows up to court date.
- At the hearing, the immigration “prosecutor” moves to dismiss the case without prejudice.
- The immigration “judge” agrees. The case is dropped.
- At this point there is no removal proceeding against the immigrant, and they are free to go.
- Out in the hall, ICE arrests the immigrant.
- ICE starts expedited removal proceedings which don’t even have court or an immigration “judge.”
So these people who were previously following the rules, out on parole, are now locked up, and they no longer have access to the flimsy due process of immigration “court”.
Expedited removal was created by Congress in the 90s, and it was intended to be used at ports of entry, and maybe in the immediate border context, where you see people jumping the fence. But the deadline Congress put on it is two years; anyone in the country less than two years can end up in expedited removal.
Oh, so they can only do this during the first two years they’re in the country?
They’ll be fixing that real soon.
The current admin is gleefully evil, it’s so sick I just don’t understand it.
Yeah it sucks, to be a human with sympathy and knowledge.
Take their pictures.
Try to get an ID from each ICE agent there, and add them to the list.
They will try to hide from justice when this regime falls.
Hound them to the day they die, like the Nazis they revere.
Well they know where the immigrants were . Now the immigrants know where not to go.
Way the create criminals that didn’t exist. ICE Nazi.
Every parent who’s kid is in that org needs to disown their kids. Those ass hats should be shunned by every civil person
Way the create criminals that didn’t exist. ICE Nazi.
Precisely the point. Now they can up the numbers that they claim there were but couldn’t find. Now it’s, “found ‘em!” Fucking awful. I am so angry with our country.
Jackboots
Can judges do remote hearings?
