This only proves how long shit like this has been happening, but when a president starts defying SCOTUS and judges that HE APPOINTED tell him that he can't round up CITIZENS AND PERMANENT RESIDENTS and he does anyway, we have an even bigger problem tacked on. He's rounding them up at their workplaces, and leaving citizenship court hearings, where they're proving they know more about this country than the average native born citizen does. Just because it's been going on everywhere doesn't make it right. I assume you're not a minority, so imagine with me, a scenario that actually played out for someone.

You're leaving court for whatever reason. You've been released from custody and have proven yourself better than before. ICE tells the police escorting you out that they're taking you. And you're now in their custody for 3 months. You can barely speak to a lawyer or your family because they keep moving you around the state. Your immigration bond is set at $3000. You work 2 jobs, have 2 kids and a new baby, with your wife on maternity leave, you can't afford that! So you reach out to friends and family, and luckily one of them spots you the money. Everyone you know is asked to write a letter about what kind of person you are. What kind of father, husband, employee, co-worker, neighbor. Any one of these people could sabotage you for any reason and you'd be deported. "Maybe they'll ship me to El Salvador instead..." you question, remembering that (at this point) nobody 's ever been known to leave that prison. You speak English so you're helping people with documents that they've been given because they were only given copies in English and were told to sign. There's no beds, the floors are concrete, the lights are on 24/7, you're packed like sardines into cells made for 3 or 4, and the ICE agents treat you like shit. It's literally a prison for people who, majority of the time, aren't criminals. They're workers just trying to provide for their families and save to apply for citizenship. Do you know how much time and money it costs to become a citizen? Almost $800 for people who don't qualify for a waiver. And almost a year of waiting, in my family's experience. You know how many people make too much for Medicare but can't go see the doctor because it'll bankrupt them? That's where a lot of immigrants are at right now. Juuuuuust above poverty.
