ICE declares millions of undocumented immigrants ineligible for bond hearings

This will cause many, many,... many to drop their opposition to being deported, playing legal games, and accept deportation.

[Sequoyah101]

Oh my. The plot thickens. Maybe it would be best to reconsider what that nice NGO person told you and just go back home?

[11th_VA]

Shouldn’t have announced it - no one will show up for hearings now. On the positive side, thousands of Immigration Attorneys will be working at Walmart

[Salamander]

I hope so.
I’m dirt poor and get livid standing in line behind these big fat criminal families as they blow wads of cash on cart loads of designer-everything and foods I can only dream of.
The kids wear expensive shoes they’ll grow of in a couple months that cost more than a month of my meager groceries.

And then I feel bad for my anger because it’s seriously not Christian.

So much internal conflict every day.

[FoxInSocks]

the policy is expected to face legal challenges

You don’t say. One rubber-stamp judge, coming up.

[Vigilanteman]

Or not. Walmart has higher standards than most lawyers could meet. So does McDonald’s.

[nathanbedford]

The question is whether the rubber stamp will stamp all over the map of the nation or apply only to litigants before the rubberstamping judge.

BTTT

[metmom]

Righteous anger is NOT a sin.

It’s unrighteous anger or what we do with righteous anger that might be.

[VanShuyten]

“ One rubber-stamp judge, coming up.”

Perhaps, but the immigration courts are in the Executive Branch, not Judicial Branch, and this sounds like a solely immigration matter. As long as ICE follows its own laws, I don’t think any federal judge has a say.

This will cause many, many,... many to drop their opposition to being deported, playing legal games, and accept deportation.

Exactly. No more Marquess of Queensberry Rules. It tells them we aren't playing any more. Go home and try again, legally. No tying up our immigration courts for a decade, just go.

[Az Joe]

I worked for ICE in 2012-2014. In 2014 they would bond out and have court appearance dates in 2017-18. Not a joke.

Of course, when the court date approached, they’d file for a continuance...and almost always get it as long as they had no criminal arrests while bonded out.

[Rockingham]

You are not alone. That kind of experience helped turn my mother against Democrats and the welfare state in the 1960s. My mother was pinching pennies to raise four kids on my father's middle class salary eroded by inflation and taxes. That meant driving a beat up old station wagon, clipping coupons and rushing to sales, and buying hamburger instead of steak, off brand cola, and days old bread from an outlet store.

My mother would often find herself at the grocery in line behind well-dressed welfare queens with books of food stamps, buying top tier groceries, and having them carted out to a late model sedan. By 1968, my parents were also dreading that their three sons would soon be draft eligible for the jungles and rice paddies of Vietnam. And two formerly solid Democrats thereby became conservative Republicans and brought their offspring along with them.

[MikelTackNailer]

Mr. President; what is best in life?

"To crush false legalities, force aliens over the
border and to hear the lamentations of their NGOs."

[ETCM]

I’m sure that was frustrating. Hopefully we never return to that practice. No continuance, and a failure to appear should result in an immediate arrest warrant and deportation order.

[Qiviut]

Further encouragement to self-deport or NOT come illegally in the first place. Cutting off all the free ‘bennies’ (phones, cash cards, food stamps, free medical care, etc.) and now no freedom to be out & about in the country (and potentially ‘disappearing’ into the citizenry) should shut off a lot of the reasons for coming illegally & turning the country into a third world dumping ground.

[PTBAA]

I’m sure the Democrats will be outraged if the govt begins treating illegals like J6ers.

[No name given]

Correct.
