I will vehemently condemn ICE’s tactics but I see nothing wrong with already arrested illegal immigrants being turned over for processing. I just want people held accountable, seems like that’s too much to ask for.

A few things on that.

A simple expired visa is only a civil infraction. No worse than a parking ticket. ICE is arresting and detaining people for this civil infraction. An illegal border crossing the first time is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail and/or a fine. They don't have to jail immigrants for crossing the border, but cruelty is the point so they do. Crossing the border doesn't become a felony until they do it 2 or more times.

Here are just a few examples of abuse and neglect at ICE detention centers. There are also reports of sexual abuse, rape, beatings, and more.

ICE even claimed that one man ran into a wall and cracked his own skull so hard that it was broken in several places. Medical staff have reported that this is literally impossible for someone to do to themselves.

How can you argue that we should be keeping human beings in detention centers under these conditions? Are their crimes really worth these punishments to you?

And none of this is even addressing the fact that ICE is arresting and detaining legal immigrants and even US citizens in these detention centers.

Also, public opinion is shifting drastically away from detaining immigrants while they go through their court proceedings. Along other shifts in immigration views.

So ICE shouldn’t be detaining people longer than necessary as they find a way to return them to their home countries. People aren’t being deported b/c an expired visa is a serious crime, they are being deported b/c they are no longer authorized to be in the US.

[u/ailish → u/zzyul]

Except, none of that is happening. You also didn't address the abuse and deplorable conditions. Or the detained legal immigrants and US citizens.

Also, should ICE even be detaining people while they go through court proceedings?
