    Obama: Implements 72 hr holding limitations, gives ICE criminal only focus

    Trump: Removes holding limits, creates new holding sites made by private prison contractors, removes ICE criminal only focus (deports less as a result)

    Biden: Restores holding limitations, restores ICE focus, nominateD pro-immigrant head of the ICE

    Trump 2.0: same shit again but even worse, ignores habeus corpus and deports actual US Citizens, private prison company leaked meeting shows huge celebration.

        If you commit a crime like burglary, hit and run, assault, financial crimes, and/or murder then I think the cage is justified. Democrats think the same.

        Republicans are the ones who put literally anybody and everybody in the cages for “inhumane reasons.”

            Tolerance ends with the intolerant. Freedoms for those who take freedoms from others is tyranny. Why is it zero sum with you? You think the only two options should be to have no imprisonment for any crimes or to have innocent women and children in cages?

                If you see my comment above you will see where I pointed out Obama set 72 hour time limits for detaining people and Trump built those facilities you’re describing. I have never defended what the Republicans are doing, never will.

                  So why did you say imprisonment of brown people was valid then? You’re for imprisonment in the cages or you’re not. I’m not for locking people away without question in inhumane conditions.
