    So… most legal citizens? How about the veteran who got deported, and is a citizen. That literally happened this past week…

      I googled “veteran deported” for anything in the past month.

      I found this and this. Neither of which mention any of the subjects of the articles were deported; only detained.

        So, detaining a citizen without a warrant is just… ok?

        I mean, are you a fan of the Cardassian Justice System?

          You are bordering on arguing in bad faith. Keep it civil or I’m gone.

          You said, deport, not detain, which are two very different things. Either you can or cannot provide a evidence of a veteran being deported. I find it odd you quickly ignored the lack of evidence that a veteran has been deported when you yourself made the claim.

          And to address your question, no, of course not. Mistakes, like with any process, will happen. A person illegally losing their freedom, even for a short period of time, is one of the most egregious crimes, in my opinion. Obviously said violator (in this case, the federal government) should be held accountable (e.g. the victims can sue).
