Subject: Re: We Don't Know Who We're Deporting
Why can't they be adjudicated in their country of origin? You're setting up a scenario where everything that happens slows to an absolute crawwllllllll.

Because the government has to prove that they're deportable before they can be deported. I mean, it's pretty basic. You can't be deported just because the government says you aren't lawfully here. Sometimes they'll be wrong - it might be by mistake, or intentional, or based on a legal theory that turns out to be incorrect. You have a due process right to have a neutral party assess their claim that you're deportable before they deport you.
