No idea. That's the problem. ICE isn't bothering to determine if the people it deports have proper documentation or not. The plethora of incorrectly arrested and/or deported people we DO know about, we only know because journalists and citizens did the investigating. Which is why ICE is working harder and harder to hide any details about what they're doing and who they're arresting.
So why did you say I don't read the news much? We're talking about this new military zone around El Paso.
Even if we widen it to the el salvador stuff like you are, no one is being deported who has "proper documentation". Not a single US citizen has been deported (apart from minors who are sent with their deported parents/carers as they cannot stay by themselves).
They deported multiple people with no due process. They have no idea if the people they deported were citizens because they didn’t check and didn’t care
You literally made that up. Not a single person deported has been a US citizen. They do know who they deported, which is why they deported them.
If you don’t give people due process, you don’t know if they’re US citizens. Therefore you can’t say if they’re US citizens because it wasn’t checked! Also nice goalpost shifting from “proper documentation” to US citizenship
No due process https://www.npr.org/2025/04/15/nx-s1-5364887/kilmar-abrego-garcia-trump-court-order
US citizen kids deported https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/children-who-are-u-s-citizens-deported-along-with-foreign-born-mothers-attorneys-say
Got any other bad faith and easy to disprove takes?
Don't waste your breath.... Had the same argument with this clown a day or two ago. They will move the goalposts and say that the (in at least one case, terminally ill) children don't count because they left with their deported parents.
When did I say you don't read the news much?
