    How would you know if people being detained have committed a crime when ICE and the government are not allowing those people due process? What happened to being ‘presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law?’

      Because ICE still have to verify their identify before being allowed to continue processing them. Every report I’ve read so far, even the worst ones, stated that detainees were released as soon as they could establish legal immigration status.

      Remember, their only job is to enforce immigration law, nothing else. As for the immigrants who ARE criminals, we know that because they have prior convictions which WERE tried in a court of law.
