Supreme Court Ruling Means Immigrants Could Continue To Be Detained Indefinitely
NPR ^ | 2/27/2018 | Domenico Montanaro

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that immigrants, even those with permanent legal status and asylum seekers, do not have the right to periodic bond hearings.

It's a profound loss for those immigrants appealing what are sometimes indefinite detentions by the government. Many are held for long periods of time — on average, 13 months — after being picked up for things as minor as joyriding. Some are held even longer.

Well!I guess it wasn’t a total loss for the country when the SC decided against hearing the Immigration case early.

Joyriding? That's what a liberal DA will allow an auto thief to plead out, to clear his calendar. If not caught he would have kept or sold the car.

Border jumpers are not “immigrants.”

I didn’t steal it. I just boosted the car and went for a joyride. Yeah right! They steal the car and drive it to the chop shop where they get cash money.

Grand theft auto in 2012 and beyond:

Motor vehicle theft or grand theft auto is the criminal act of stealing or attempting to steal any motor vehicle, usually an automobile. Nationwide in the US in 2012, there were an estimated 721,053 motor vehicle thefts, or approximately 229.7 motor vehicles stolen for every 100,000 inhabitants.

It’s also a video game popular with the yutes of today.

If they don’t like it, they need to get out of our country NOW.

Joyriders. Sure.

Progressives are such word smiths. The problem is they are digging too deep and often to be effective anymore.

I did play every GTA game and the last I played Was San Andreas. After that, I got bored with it. I even knew some of the engineers who designed the layout in Vancouver.

I spoke with someone who was involved in a human rights law firm that deals with this stuff. Just a passing conversation at the airport. DHS/ICE made it difficult for any law firm to get into the center because from what i was told, lets say they pick you up in CA, the detention will be in NV..far away from your nearest law firm which is a plus because it discourages the travel time unless you are paying the immigration lawyer by the hour. The second was that they are lacking judges who will easily pass the sentence and third, it’s hard to keep them out bec. they miraculously come back into the US.
