This headline is deliberately inaccurate, as acknowledged within the article. It intentionally implies that any migrants are enough to qualify, but the memo is actually targeting a very specific gang:
> The gang in question is Tren de Aragua, a group the Trump administration recently labeled a foreign terrorist organization. But legal experts say this is no justification for shredding the Constitution.
They're correct that this is still extremely problematic, but that's no justification for shredding journalistic integrity.
I'm not arguing that any of this we're discussing is good or even not absolutely terrible, but there's a strong tendency in the current climate to overstate how bad things are. This is entirely unnecessary and actively counterproductive. Things are plenty bad as it is, we do not need to go around exaggerating the offenses committed by the Trump administration. Reporting things exactly as they are is plenty damning, and lying and exaggerating will just burn political and social capital totally unnecessarily.
They're already accusing random people of gang membership arbitrarily you pig fuck.
They have made it clear how they are treating immigrants is how they want to treat citizens.
If you think the citizens they are targeting are "the bad ones", you just wait. Soon the "bad ones" category will get wider was well.
Someone wrote a poem about this once. Their back story is very, very relevant.
With that said, do you believe the Patriot Act was used only for terrorists?
Great little scene from The Departed:

Gangs and Terrorists are bad, but I believe we as a country went through this once already and you cannot create these precedents because they stick around. They're literally reusing Guantanamo Bay.
She is brave. I suspect we will look back on this one day if it goes that far. Even if you are staunch anti-immigration advocate, I would ask everyone to do the mental exercise of how one should proceed if the law or the enforcement of it is inhumane. The immigrant in question went for a non-immigration hearing, so this judge was brave (that's the only way I'll describe it). Few of us would have the courage to do that even for clear cut injustices, we'd sit back and go "well what can I do?". Bear witness, this is how.
