ACLU: Feds using bogus gang accusations to deport illegal immigrants

The ACLU filed a class action lawsuit Friday charging that the Trump administration is wrongly accusing young illegal immigrants of gang affiliations as a way to short-circuit their rights and force them into speedy deportations.

The lawsuit, filed in federal district court in California, opens yet another legal front against President Trump’s goal of stepped-up immigration enforcement, with advocates hoping to blunt a new effort by Homeland Security to find and deport some of the Central Americans who jumped the border during the Obama era.

Immigrant-rights advocates said the government has started to fabricate broad accusations of gang membership or affiliation to justify sweeping enforcement actions, nabbing people who the advocates say deserve protection and legal status, not criminal treatment and deportation.

“We’re talking about teens who were picked up for play-fighting with a friend, or for showing pride in their home country of El Salvador,” said Stephen Kang, attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, which is handling the case on behalf of a handful of teenage illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. during the UAC surge under President Obama.

The anti-American ACLU is at it again working with illegal alien invaders.

Tats don’t lie.

[umgud]

Any and all illegal aliens are subject to deportation, with or without regard to their other criminal activity. The ACLU is full of $h!t.

The MS-13 tats and mile long rap sheets don't mean nothing. It's just circumstantial evidence.

Amen to that!

When a tat says MS-13 or other gang ID’s they’re gang members.

Logicians: ACLU using bogus claims of intelligence to create laughable arguments.

If they are not legally here they have no rights.Pick them up, verify them, deport them. Shouldn’t take more than 48 hours or so.

showing pride in their home country of El Salvador

Then they would surely love a free trip home.

In any case they should not be here - kick em out

as a way to short-circuit their rights

And just what "rights" would those be?

Nuke NYC.

[arthurus]

Covered up in tattoos should be identified prima facie as El Salvadorian and get them sent there. If some American born wannabes get swept up in the process it is no loss.

[fhayek]

Illegal aliens. Illegal. Not Legal. Not supposed to be here even if they were saints Jumped-up Jimminy Cricket!

[SpaceBar]

The ACLU is a gang.

If they are here illegally then they have no rights not to be deported.

One doesn’t wear MS13 tats without being part of the gang anymore than a non-member would dare wear a Hell’s Angel rocker on their jacket.
