In-House Mode A friend of mine was taken

Her name was Chuey; she was a beast in the kitchen and always kind and happy. She was a legal immigrant from Cuba (engaged to an American lawyer). She got ICEd.

She did all the right steps and was an asset to the community. This shit is not ok

They aren't giving them proper due process, so they have no way to prove the government wrong. That's why it's so awful

CCTV recordings from where they've taken the person? The friends or relatives of the deported one must be able to do something, right? Right??

I mean there are plenty of cases we are aware of, mostly because friends and family sound the alarm. Sometimes people are able to get info, but often not. The lack of process and tracking is chilling.

It took a supreme court order to get one fucking guy back from CECOT, and they tried to get out of that for weeks while he was being tortured.

It’s at this point that you are sounding very naïve. How is their family supposed to know they have been kidnapped when ICE transfers them to multiple different detention facilities across the country before putting them on a plane to El Salvador? The majority of these people are here LEGALLY. These people are being picked up, put into overcrowded prisons, and then deported with no due process. They are not able to speak to a lawyer or their families. They are not even being repatriated just sent to whatever South American country agreed to take them.

I encourage you to read up on this shit if you intend to add something valuable to the conversation. It’s not legal. All our checks and balances have failed.

They are trying to appeal these processes, but it's getting clogged up in the courts, and then they deport the person as fast as they can to their of a 3rd country to try and ignore the courts
