If you read the mainstream media, you won't be surprised by the title of this post. The media is telling us in horror that President Trump has ICE about to start "mass family deportations". Of course, as usual, this is Fake News. It's true that people are going to be deported, but this is a far cry from "mass family deportations."
The actual fact is that ICE is going to start a program to round up and deport some of the hundreds of thousands of people her in the USA who have already been ordered deported by a court. Once someone gets into the country away from the border, they are entitled to a hearing before they can be deported. Over the years, there have been a huge number of the hearings, and many people have been found to be here illegally and ordered deported. Frequently, those people who are ordered deported go into hiding for a while and then relocate and go on as if there had been no court order. The number in this category is something close to a million people. ICE is now going to do its best to carry out the orders of the courts that require these deportations.
It's called the rule of law. It means that when a court orders that something (like a deportation) is supposed to happen, the government has to follow that ruling. This is not the heartless racist act of a quasi-Nazi ICE. It is the US federal government following the law.
Hopefully, ICE will be able to find these folks quickly and deport them. They had due process. They lost in court. Now that result must be enforced.
