>In our country, someone who hasn't been convicted or otherwise adjudicated of a crime is called innocent.
Total nonsense. This only applies to the state. Individuals are totally free to believe that a person not convicted of a crime or even proclaimed innocent by the state, is in fact not innocent.
If your legalistic fiction of innocence was correct, then individuals would have to believe that the law is the infallible representation of morality, which is an abhorrent claim. What I meant by the quotes around innocent is that the state has not yet deemed them criminal, but I disagree with the state on that assessment.
You disagree in a “none of us are innocent” kind of way?
I struggle to see how you might know so much about these people - whose names we don’t even know - that you can have an opinion about their innocence.
No need to respond if you don’t think you need information to form an opinion. I will assume that.
Is deportation a state action or no?

I just cannot imagine how gobsmackingly dumb one has to be to consciously advocate for a government unrestrained by laws.
Just true mud-farmer level intellect.
