The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Huh. I'm going to say this is troubling.

In the first week of March, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says it arrested four dozen New Mexico residents as part of immigration raids in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Roswell.

Now those people are unaccounted for, according to an American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico civil rights complaint filed Sunday, which alleges all 48 “have been forcibly disappeared.”


And no, these were not rapists, murderers, gangbangers, or individuals with 34 felony convictions. According to ICE’s own announcement, it arrested most of those people not for criminal convictions, but for violations of civil immigration law.

Maybe they're still here in the U.S. somewhere, maybe not... but in less than two months we've officially reached the snatch people up, put 'em on planes, and deport 'em to a country run by an authoritarian, who we're paying in cash, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at what is essentially a gulag.

Without due process.

In defiance of federal courts.

For those waiting for your "is it a constitutional crisis yet?" moment, check your rearview mirrors.
