    What “illegal immigrants” in their right mind would be out partying at an after hours night club with everything going on? I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few, but 100? This reeks of steamed hams. 100 migrants localized entirely in this illegal nightclub, in this political climate? I would like to see the evidence

        Was no longer a thing a long time ago

        Democrats and Republicans both worked hard for the elites to make sure of it

      They probably weren’t out partying carrying their birth certificate on them. At this stage you’re probably considered illegal if you can’t prove your citizenship right then and there.

    If it’s illegal and all that, yes, they should be held to standard.

    But given the fact that this administration likes to slap the word “illegal” on anything they don’t like, was it really? Or is it a boy crying wolf again?

      The past few years have eroded the meaning of illegal, and even standards. They have even chose to ignore due process.

        Who said they should be deported? And if they are indeed commiting an illegal act under the written law, why shouldn’t they be subject to any consequences for breaking said law?

        I don’t agree with authoritarianism, but I won’t defend lawlessness either. These extreme and radical stances from either party are why the US is where it currently is.

        I cast my doubt over the the very foundation of the act of imprisoning these people, not if they’re innocent or not. Because without due process everyone is guilty until proven otherwise - and even then not really. I think you missed my entire point.

    Colorado was one of the states that has been very actively fighting Trump’s goons. It’ll be interesting to see how this turns out.

    Pullen estimated more than 200 people were inside the nightclub. Also among those detained were a dozen active-duty military members who either were patrons or working as armed security. Some patrons were arrested on undisclosed outstanding warrants, Pullen said.

      That’s just an average night club. You got college kids, people doing cocaine, tech bros, tourists.
