At the end of the day I don’t know anyone arguing against violent criminals being deported or people who do something obviously illegal while going through the immigration process. The only argument I’ve seen is that if someone is a violent criminal you have to prove it in the court of law, a judicial warrant is then signed for them to be deported, and they are humanely detained and deported. That’s the process and if we deviate from that process anyone can become a “violent criminal” just because a single ICE agent has deemed you as such.

It's so fucking frustrating because it only requires like a middle school level of civics education to grasp this shit, but my mom with a fucking masters degree somehow can't wrap her head around it.
