Family Separation at the Border: US citizens are now being detained

Yep. It's now clear that so much of our democracy has been based on the the relative goodwill and voluntary restraints of political leaders (and fears of what might happen to them if they crossed certain lines), and a willingness in both parties to compromise on issues to pass legislation and make government work. And we've lost that. It's bread and circuses all the time now, and Trump is the ringmaster. We've got a reality-show POTUS leading a hopelessly dysfunctional government and political system. And it's not just us, but the UK and many other democracies are struggling right now as well. It's an ugly time.

Do Republicans understand that 9-9-9 was never really a plan? It was a cute slogan.
 
How this motherfucker hasn't been impeached yet....

Can you imagine what pubs would say if Obama promised to pardon someone if they broke the law while implementing healthcare policy?

Sailor, Moonz, Catamount, BKF, Buehler?

Conservatives don't care anymore. It's all about owning the libs, 24/7. The Trump Administration's treatment of immigrants is inhumane? Who cares - it pisses off those snooty, condescending, well-off, LibDems with their fancy college degrees, so it's all good. Trump is actually encouraging one of his lieutenants to break the law with the promise that he'll pardon him later if he gets into legal trouble? Who cares - he's carrying out our Dear Leader's orders and pissing off the libs. If Trump gets reelected next year - a real possibility - what will they be the most happy about? That his reelection will really piss off LibDems, and allow them to gloat and taunt them on social media some more. They really don't seem to care about anything else anymore - not small, limited government, not states rights, not traditional values or ethics and morals in government (with conservatives supporting Trump as POTUS lol on that one), nor any of the other things they claim to support as conservatives. If it pisses off LibDems, though, they're all for it. That's what they get emotional and worked up about nowadays.

That also works for the “never Trump moderates” who pop up to lament the “lib circle jerk” on this board. It’s clearly a bullshit accusation as many of us participating here are not Dems, plus there is plenty of legit discussion. They just can’t eat crow or attempt to defend the indefensible because then “the libs” win.

Looks like they didn't like the media coverage:

U.S. deports spouse of fallen soldier, quickly reverses decision

After his wife was killed in Afghanistan, Gonzalez Carranza was granted what is known as parole in place, which allows immigrants in the country illegally to remain in the U.S. without the threat of deportation, Hernandez said.

An immigration judge then terminated deportation proceedings against Gonzalez Carranza based on the parole in place, Hernandez said.

However, ICE refiled the case in 2018, Hernandez said.

A judge ordered Gonzalez Carranza deported in December 2018 after Gonzalez Carranza didn't show up for his court hearing, Hernandez said.

But the reason Gonzalez Carranza didn't show up is because he never received the notice, Hernandez said. He said ICE sent it to the wrong address.

Gonzalez Carranza didn't find out a judge had ordered him deported until ICE officers came to his house last Monday and took him into custody, Hernandez said.

Hernandez said he filed a motion to reopen Gonzalez Carranza's deportation case. The motion triggered an automatic stay of removal, but ICE deported him anyway, Hernandez said.

Wang also said it Gonzalez Carranza should not have been deported if there was a stay of removal. She said, however, it is "not uncommon" for ICE to violate stays of removal.

So it's like a gang or terrorist organization.
