I expect that if I were to lose my visa status that I would be on a flight within a few days! And with my own money!

So not in a concentration camp in Florida without ever formally being charged with a crime, correct? Just sent here, without any representation, without any due process, without any clear end date to your confinement.

Or quickly sent to the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo in El Salvador, once again without any kind of hearing or choice of potential outcomes?

Do you believe in due process? Do you think it's wrong to send people to these places without any due process, without formally being charged with a crime, and without any clear release date established?

  • Honestly, I would rather be in my home country!

    Due process is the process that is due! It's not a court hearing it's a much more simplified process.

    If the process to get into the country is next to none, then the process to get out is the same.

    • For a lot of these people that was not even a given option. They went from having legal status in the US to being on a plane to a foreign prison without any notice or chance to do anything else.
