This is getting out of hand and needs to be shut down quickly. Yes, immigrants have some protections under the 5th and 14th amendments but that doesn't excuse the judges who violate statutes. The very last thing this country needs is lawlessness from judges and law enforcement more than has already happened. This is next level compared to what we've seen so far.

Judges always parse their words and make things seem complicated.
But these are simple principles.

Not really directed at Americus, anyone can answer.  Tell me if any of these principles are incorrect:

1) Someone who has not been convicted of anything should not be in prison. Not in one of our prisons, not in anyone else's prison. Immigrant or not.

2) An illegal immigrant should be deported, but if they are not criminals, they should be deported to a *safe* place in another country that will take them.  They should not be deported to a place that will imprison them without trial or hope for a trial.

3) Just because a government official calls you a gangster or a criminal, does not mean you are a gangster or a criminal. Legally speaking we can't imprison you for that until a jury says so.  

4) A state judge swears to uphold the state constitution as well as the federal constitution. Federal courts can overrule them on federal matters, but they still have an obligation to do their best to apply the principles of the federal Constitution, even though they are state judges.

Again, which of these is incorrect?
