      Do they though? Someone should tell all the people in literal concentration camps after receiving no due process

        I have a friend in Florida. They have a guy that runs a business and does all their house repairs, fells trees, yada yada. His inlaws turned him in for being illegal (he’s not) He had his paperwork with him and they still shipped him off to Alligator Alcatraz. His wife hired a lawyer and had to do all kinds of crap to get him back out… on bail… because his mother-in-law called him an illegal.

      That increasingly means nothing. Remember that judge who was sending kids to reform camps for kickbacks? Part of that scheme was they literally made up charges. If the system says it’s a charge and you need to be punished then that’s what’s going to happen. Juries aren’t even a thing until you get to major felonies anymore so it’s just whatever the judge lets the prosecutor get away with.
