They didn't deport her.

Deportations have court records and proceedings and you know what happened to the people in them.

This is just kidnapping and human trafficking.

I mean isnt it great hamas supporters are outing themselves to get deported?

u/PabloBablo 8d ago

I suppose if you don't respect the constitution and bill of rights.

Great, take it to the supreme court that has repeatedly ruled you can deport foreigners who hold harmful views

u/SanityInAnarchy California 8d ago

Which cases are you talking about?

SCOTUS has ruled that lawful permanent residents do actually have First Amendment protections.

From the subheading, you're already wrong: "Trump is taking advantage of an unsettled aspect of the law."

Your own source doesn't show what you think it shows. Were you hoping I wouldn't read it?

u/[deleted] 8d ago

OK, you think it's unsettled, ICE thinks it is. And thus deporting.

It's quite common for ppl to have differing opinions

"We should bankrupt hamas' enemies"

Yep, thats deportation! Thankfully so many protests last year outed all these terrorists supporters.

u/fighterpilot248 Virginia 8d ago

You may not agree with what she said, you make not like it at all. But in any case, that does not allow the government to retaliate against her (or anyone) for exercising their first amendment rights.

This is the literal antithesis of what America is all about.

1

u/[deleted] 8d ago

Supreme court has repeatedly ruled foreigners can be deported for holding harmful views. They been deporting since the 50's.

Glad to sort that out

13

u/fighterpilot248 Virginia 8d ago

Yes and the Supreme Court also ruled that internment camps were legal in the 40s.

Saying “do better and divest from Israel” is not a “harmful view”

Again, you may not like or agree with what she said, but she had every right to say it.

-1

u/[deleted] 8d ago

Bankrupting hamas's enemies is in fact supporting them.

Sure she has a right to support terrorists, the US has a right to deport here

u/fighterpilot248 Virginia 8d ago

lol, lmao, even.

If all it takes is one University to pull funding to “bankrupt” an entire country, you’ve got serious problems.

u/[deleted] 8d ago

Shrug we can agree to disagree then. As if we don't know the idea was to get every school and company and country to divest :) Hence, deported!

Democrats doing bad things doesn't make them okay. I don't understand why you people think we're just fine with the awful things the Biden admin did. We didn't like those things either.

u/fleegness 8d ago

You're also assuming that person isn't making shit up. Right wingers tend to do that.

u/Caltroit_Red_Flames Wisconsin 8d ago

Well Biden did deport a lot of people, just not legal residents. I believe in open borders which I know isn't popular, but I am against a lot of Biden's policies, just from a left wing perspective as opposed to the fascist I originally replied to.

10

u/fleegness 8d ago

Well sure, but deportation through regular channels is legal, whether you agree or not with the process and numbers.

I'm pointing out that ICE may not have done the illegal shit the other guy is implying they did (without proof of course).

3

u/Caltroit_Red_Flames Wisconsin 8d ago

Fair enough. My standard of concern is morality, not legality. ICE should be abolished regardless.

1

u/JohnnyFartmacher New York 8d ago

What would the game plan be if ICE was abolished? Unless you're talking completely open borders, any country will always have people who are not supposed to be there and a law enforcement group dedicated to them.

2

u/Caltroit_Red_Flames Wisconsin 8d ago

ICE was created in 2003. History did not start in 2003.

u/[deleted] 8d ago

Except this IS legal, foreigners with harmful views have been getting deported for decades, not sure why ppl are cryin here

u/rndljfry Pennsylvania 8d ago

Who gets to decide what are harmful views? Can we start deporting anyone with a “religious exemption” to standard vaccination schedules?

-7

u/[deleted] 8d ago

The authorities of course, which the supreme court has repeatedly allowed.

And sure if they try to do that and the courts agree, then yes.

6

u/rndljfry Pennsylvania 8d ago

Could that possibly be because there is a risk of people with harmful views capturing the Supreme Court and the Presidency, or becoming the authorities, if they are not deported?

You can oppose both Israel and Hamas. It isn't an either or thing. Oct 7th was a horrid attack, but that has not justified the carnage Israel has unleashed on many innocent palestinians.

In fact, I think you should be deported. Because I have heard seen you post stuff that supports Hamas.

It isn't. They are guaranteed due process just like anyone else in the US illegally or otherwise.

It also violates the first amendment.

0

u/[deleted] 8d ago

This IS due process, same way Biden deported millions too. 1st amendmend doesn't apply to visa/immigration status, only civil/criminal penalties

1

u/xafimrev2 8d ago edited 8d ago

The government can't revoke visas for things covered by the first amendment it would be unconstitutional.

Secondly this is not due process. They could just rendition anyone without going in front of a judge even a citizen if that were the case.

You're uninformed on the issue.

u/ThroughtonsHeirYT 8d ago

Open borders? Never. No logical nation does this. Only in cases of true asylum seeking. Otherwise : no entry in a country outside of LEGAL immigration process through the government entity. Legal immigration only : means paper approved by the government BEFORE you set foot in the country

Communism is worse than fascism in totalitarianism… i am a « left side of the center » socialist because i believe in humans. But capitalism is too important to let petty communism rot away the potential of human creativity

Socialism is the transition period between capitalism and communism. You may want to learn more about what communism actually is because it is not totalitarian and you're using a misnomer for your own beliefs.

Communism is stalin & mao. Theoretical communism is a utopia. Real life communism is the ussr and ccp. Ie: bullshit that must disappear forever. Long live capitalism with societal safety nets. « Ethical sociocapitalism »

Saying we never saw true communism is bullshit. Look at « anarchy » : it is literally the law of the jungle. Nothing else. Stop being a carebear who believes in utopian « perfect » governments like the hypothetical communism & anarchy concepts. They exist only in lunatic’s heads

u/CircumventingTheBan_ 8d ago

I know you're just trolling, and there's a million other edgelords like you, but I just don't get it. How can publicly humiliating yourself to annoy strangers be fun?

I guess it's the anonymity that makes it doable for you all. Either that, or your self esteem is just the lowest it could be. I feel bad for trolls sometimes, I just can't imagine being that depressed.

u/Glum-Gap-2504 8d ago

Legal residents have a first amendment right that says you're dead wrong. But no let's cheer for the erosion of our rights the constitution is a dead document to this administration anyway.

Nope, first amendment only applies to civil/criminal penalties, supreme court has repeatedly ruled you can deport for harmful views.

So keep saying that to yourself if it helps you cope

Many of the protesters were not pro-Hamas, they were pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel or anti-genocide. You can be against the terrorist organizations of both sides senselessly killing people. Black and white thinking will get you nowhere in life.

u/dqql 8d ago

Protesting a genocide by Israel has NOTHING to do with supporting Hamas...
The protestors are supporting the people of Palestine...
people like the children currently being starved to death as warfare (example of a genocidal tactic, according to the UN)...
Hamas is just about already gone, anyways...

-3

u/[deleted] 8d ago

Well except ICC already rejected the genocide charge, and trying to bankrupt Hamas's enemies is clearly supporting them.

Real supporters would demand hamas surrender

12

u/dqql 8d ago

ICC already rejected the genocide charge

no, they did not.
And i'll take advice on what a "real supporter" would demand from, well, maybe someone who isn't an psychopathic troll...
i.e. from someone who saying "Good riddance safe journeys hamas supporters" would haunt them for the rest of their life...

u/thatsattemptedmurder 8d ago

I don't think that phraseology is correct. "all through biden" makes it sound like a regular occurrence and that Biden had any special involvement with it.

In fact, it was signed into law in 1996 by Clinton. So ICE has used this for almost 30 years and 5 presidents.

Expedited removal allows persons with to be deported without a hearing before a judge. There are still conditions to be met.

  1. Arrived at the U.S. border without proper documentation.

  2. Were apprehended within 100 miles of the border and had been in the U.S. for less than 14 days.

It doesn't sound like those conditions are being met currently. And historically -

Under the first Trump presidency, there was an attempt to expand expedited removal beyond the 100-mile border zone and beyond people who had been in the U.S. for 14 days or less.

Under President Biden, some of Trump’s more aggressive policies were scaled back or reinterpreted, but certain aspects of expedited removal remained intact, particularly as they related to border enforcement.

So really - they been doing this since Trump's first presidency, then Biden scaled it back, and now Trump ramped it up again.

For clarity.
