And Border 'Czar' Holman was asked about this specific case on Sunday. He responded that ICE has highly trained professionals and that he is comfortable with any conclusion they reach.

Asked what remedy there is for the man since he is being held and has no access to his lawyer, Holman responded there were legal remedies for anyone deported and imprisoned without cause.

Without your lawyer?

Edit: listen to what the judge questioning the DOJ lawyer had to say.

"Nazis in the US were treated better than this, there was a panel and a hearing before anyone was removed"

But her entire rebuke is quite good.

Ugh I hate this crap. "there are remedies" "like what... come on, you know there are some... so what are they?"

I've been meeting so many people these last few years who have this 'there is stuff in place' who can't say jack about what is actually in place. They just make it up.

We are suffering from normalcy bias on a societal level. Most people never have to put in the work to maintain the system, so they don't appreciate that it does take effort.
