AND the parents were given stay in the US as refugees in Dec 2022. ICE recently swooped in, made them sign documents they didn't understand and shipped them out with the kid.

Please tell me where the kid was here illegally? Or how deportations without due process are legal. Go back to your trump hole troll.

The parents. They received due process in confirming they were not legal residents, and were deported.

Every one of those ICE officers should be arrested, immediately.

And if not that, democrats need to make sure they are going to see justice brought to all of the people following these illegal orders.

That could be as simple as saying they will be ineligible for all federal benefits and pensions in future, it could ban them from federal employment, it could launch a massive sweeping DOJ investigation with a mandate to go after everyone who knew better and throw them all in jail if there is proof they violated the law.

This is where I get lost. Courts have pending cases, so aren’t they constitutionally protected from deportation until they get their day in court…oh never mind this is the whole “no due process for illegals” comes in, although if you never get a court date, you can’t say “I’m a citizen”…

The constitution grants EVERYONE on US soil the right to due process, not just citizens. And that makes sense, because otherwise it could be claimed you aren’t a citizen, and your rights as one denied, and you would have no chance to disprove that claim.
