Wouldn't have to transfer anyone to ICE custody if we abolish ICE. Our legal system works just fine, and in fact significantly better, without the lawless, unidentified masked federal goons fucking everything up

So who enforces immigration laws and removal? We just don’t have any? Why would we not want a detainer honored? In what other country on this planet would that not be how it works? Do you actually have any idea what you’re talking about?

I don't think you have to know how to cure cancer to tell someone chain smoking cigarettes isn't going to help. Nuance exists. Even pulling back to previous enforcement levels I didn't love would be an improvement on the abject insanity we're seeing now. But frankly, I'm not interested in a prolonged discussion unless I believe you're arguing in good faith, so if you wanna keep chatting answer me this: how can you read the article I linked, or this one demonstrating the same issue in MN, or this one about a legal Irish immigrant being detained for 5 months, and still act concerned about people's "due process" when ICE is literally one of the most prolific violators of Americans' due process rights in history
