The Trump Administration's planned action to deport the one million illegal immigrants that the courts have already ruled should be deported met with strident objections from open-border advocates this week.
Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, called the planned action "unfair. The individuals targeted have not had the opportunity to present their cases in court." Lieberman neglected to mention the fact that these individuals were "no shows" for their scheduled opportunity to argue their side in court, maintaining that "common criminals who skip their court appearances aren't sent directly to prison. They're given new court dates. That's what we're asking for here."
Contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif) characterized the planned enforcement action as "a crime against humanity. Every person on the planet has the right to migrate in search of a better life. America has the means to provide that better life. We are already providing an array of benefits to undocumented immigrants—housing, food, education—and every Democratic presidential candidate is on record in support of free health care for them. I'm confident that others in my Party will join me to take efforts to nullify this crime against humanity."
Among the others in the Democratic Party stepping forward to oppose the planned action was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) who advised illegal immigrants to "refuse to open the door to ICE agents seeking to enforce court-issued deportation orders. Barricade your self and your family inside and wait them out. In many cases, local mayors will send police to interdict the federal intrusion."
In Chicago, Mayor Lori Lightfoot ordered police in her city to "obstruct ICE from carrying out this crime against humanity. That includes withholding criminal records, warning those likely to be targeted, and impeding ICE agents with strategically sited and scheduled traffic jams that block ICE vehicles on their way to suspected immigrant hideouts. The best case scenario is that all victims elude capture."

Let’s implement Trump’s program to bus all the captured illegals to Harris’ district and see how long it takes for her to squeal.
Lori Lightbrain in Chicago needs a real wake-up call. How about Army tanks rolling through their streets with ICE agents aboard.
Not satire, John. Just a little early.
Donna, Kamala, Nancy, Lori ...
