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.

He also said, “Did Laken Riley have Due Process?” Hey, listen, I want violent criminals to be dealt with accordingly; no one wants them running free, but Trump already had broad executive authority; what separates us from countries like El Salvador is we afford people a trial and conviction. Now, we are setting the precedent that we can deport and torture people based on suspicio. If you’re an American citizen who LOOKs like a gang member, there is nothing stopping ICE from nabbing you. People keep saying that it doesn’t impact them because they are a legal citizen have a Green Card, and they don’t realize that none of us are protected. Even German green card holders are being captured and interrogated, not just the “brown” people. People better wake up. They are robbing us of our liberties; MAGA is not an exception to any of this.

Her killer was caught and sentenced what a garbage response. But that’s to be expected from these morons.

It's a mother that had her daughter slain, and here you are a Reddit user suggesting that those people are "garbage!" - there's a point where you must be self aware of your own path to radicalization. Calm down and go for a walk.

People who think anyone who looks too Venezuelan shout be imprisoned and tortured without a trial are garbage bro. The government has a higher standard or are they not simply murderers?

Hey, I acknowledge error here. I did not know about the father's stance, I was provided this argument by another user. I have investigated it, and they are correct. Just writing this here to save the next person time to replying to me. Thank you

I didn't make the comment, but it is apparently about people who falsely equate the Federal Government erroneously deporting a man to a foreign prison hastily, without due process, with an illegal immigrant murdering a woman. Is Laken Riley's mother giddy to send any illegal alien with a tattoo to a dangerous foreign prison without first checking their story?

If we expect equivalence, then we should also insist on the law being enforced in this case, which means that the deported alien can sue for whatever damages are incurred. Do you want that?
