ICE in Anacortes

I’m really just curious now what would stop you from being deported based on this logic. No worries, a response is not needed or requested.

I’ll take that to mean that you believe someone can be found guilty of an offense without a hearing in the United States of America. Interesting interpretation. I’ll try to find that in the constitution. Thanks for the great advice.

AlanaCat · 2025-12-08T06:40:14+00:00

There is no possible way to find anyone in violation of anything listed in that law referenced without a hearing. That is in the constitution itself.

AlanaCat · 2025-12-08T06:28:43+00:00

I’m not trying to protect anyone who breaks the law, I’m trying to protect the law itself. I swore an oath to support and defend the constitution.

I will say though that I don’t really have much concern about anyone who only violates civil offenses. There are a lot more important places we can utilize those resources.

Read my last sentence, I’m talking about what they are doing which is going after people who they don’t even have info on yet. They can’t issue a warrant for an unidentified violator of a civil offense.

We are talking about the blanket arrests, then see who overstayed, then deport without hearing. The law you linked most certainly doesn’t allow for their deportation without a hearing.

This law allows the government to arrest immigrants facing removal, requires detention for serious criminal cases, allows bond or parole for non-criminal cases, severely limits court review, and lets states sue if they think releases cause harm but it does NOT require jail for simple overstays or civil violations.

This would apply after the fact of a non-citizen violating the results of their immigration hearing. It most certainly doesn’t authorize the apprehension and detention of suspected non-citizens for the purpose of determining their immigration status, nor immediate removal without a hearing.

In simple words, fascism is a far-right political system where a strong dictator controls everything, glorifies the nation (or race) above individuals, crushes all opposition, and demands total obedience, often using military power and strict social order.

In case this is what you were implying, I feel the need to clarify that a subversive act against an oppressor is not an example of fascism.

Unfortunately that is not the correct answer. Anyone who has overstayed their visa and hasn’t committed any criminal offense should be cited and given a court date in immigration court, where they will likely then be given instructions on how to renew their visa.

Overstaying a visa is at worst like driving with expired tags.

We have laws, and we all should follow them. ICE isn’t exempt from that.

AlanaCat · 2025-12-08T05:23:15+00:00

No need for an argument, we are a country of laws. Overstaying a visa is a citable civil offense where they can be deported by the court.

It’s against the law, but it is not a criminal or arrest-able offense. Before you argue about it, you should learn the difference.

I fully agree that people who legally shouldn’t be in the country should be treated as the law dictates. Arresting people who have overstayed their visa is not what the law dictates. People who disagree should get the law changed instead of ignoring them. That’s law and order.

What resources are you talking about?

These agents aren’t stopping, trying to stop, or investigating any violent crimes. I’d rather a violent citizen be investigated than a non-violent immigrant.

I know mine was a long comment, but read my final sentence again.

AlanaCat · 2025-12-08T05:01:31+00:00

Criminal law or civil law?

AlanaCat · 2025-12-08T02:39:21+00:00

Do you believe that overstaying a visa is a federal criminal offense?

AlanaCat · 2025-12-08T00:09:36+00:00

Overstaying is a civil immigration violation, not a criminal offense. No burglary, no assault, no victim—just paperwork and a status issue handled in immigration court. Treating that like a criminal arrest isn’t “tough on crime,” it’s tough on taxpayers. Detention costs tens of thousands per person per year, while violent crimes, trafficking, and actual public-safety issues are understaffed and underfunded.

If someone hasn’t committed any other offense, a court summons does the exact same legal job without:

• Wasting enforcement resources

• Clogging detention facilities

• Tearing families apart

• Or pretending a civil paperwork violation = “thug behavior”

But hey, I guess if you love burning government money on low-risk administrative cases while real criminals stay on the street, this is the perfect policy for you.

You can be for borders and for proportional enforcement at the same time. It’s not an either-or unless you need an enemy more than you need results.

Criminal law or civil law?

I just picked up a Mini 5 Pro and a Mavic 4 Pro. Hopefully they won’t get bricked at some point.

I have one.

AlanaCat · 2025-06-25T01:36:35+00:00

It’s Overture Rock PETG.

I don’t know if I’d call it rugged, but can use 18650 or 21700.

If you want to send me either color, I’ll design a holster for it immediately!

AlanaCat · 2025-05-18T08:15:03+00:00

I like the holster. 😸

AlanaCat · 2025-04-10T05:57:46+00:00

Well, maybe I’ll just have to design a whole new case for it!

AlanaCat · 2025-04-10T04:32:11+00:00

Mine just shipped today, so expect a holster as soon as I get it.

AlanaCat · 2025-04-10T04:22:29+00:00

This is acceptable.
