Immigrant women say they were held "like animals" in ICE detention facility reserved for men; two men dead

Not exactly. Unless someone is eligible for expedited removal, they must have a deportation hearing: Understand the deportation process | USAGov

Yes exactly.

The foreign national may be held in a detention center before trial or deportation. Find out how to locate someone detained by ICE.

After a noncitizen is detained, they may go before a judge in immigration court during the deportation (removal) process. In some cases, a noncitizen is subject to expedited removal without being able to attend a hearing in immigration court. Expedited removal may happen when a noncitizen:

• Comes to the U.S. without proper travel documents
• Uses forged travel documents
• Does not comply with their visa or other entry document requirements

Note: MAY. Also note that if they dont have the proper documents. Illegals dont have the proper documents and so are subject to expidited removal without a hearing.

So many on the left don't really understand what the due process means in these cases. The person can ask for a hearing. There is NO automatic hearing.

Every single person in the US, regardless of legal status, is entitled to due process under the law. Period. Choosing not to fight the deportation is the equivalent to pleading "no contest" to criminal charges - that's still due process. But they must receive that opportunity. That is what the Supreme Court just ordered last week.

The Supreme Court ruled that the law must be followed. Due process does not guarantee a hearing unless the person wants one.

Only if they have been in the country for less than 2 years or are apprehended within 100 miles of the border within 14 days of entry:

Immigration authorities have implemented expedited removal mainly for three overarching categories of aliens who lack valid entry documents or attempted to falsely procure admission:

1. arriving aliens (defined by regulation as aliens arriving at U.S. ports of entry);

2. aliens who entered the United States by sea without being admitted or paroled into the United States, and who have been in the country less than two years; and

3. aliens apprehended within 100 miles of the U.S. border within 14 days of entering the country, and who have not been admitted or paroled.

And even then, there are exemptions.

I believe those are policy considerations and not law.

I believe those are policy considerations and not law.

You're only half correct. The 2-year residency part is actually in the law. Within 100 miles of the border and within 14 days is a policy.

The expedited removal process, created by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, is codified in INA § 235(b)(1). The statute permits the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to summarily remove aliens arriving at a designated U.S. port of entry (arriving aliens) “without further hearing or review” if they are inadmissible either because they (1) lack valid entry documents, or (2) tried to procure their admission into the United States through fraud or misrepresentation. INA § 235(b)(1) also authorizes—but does not require—DHS to extend application of expedited removal to “certain other aliens” inadmissible on the same grounds if they (1) were not admitted or paroled into the United States by immigration authorities and (2) cannot establish at least two years’ continuous physical presence in the United States at the time of apprehension.

Catch and release. Trump's already doing it, since all the beds are taken (and as I pointed out months ago, more beds also costs more money).

US seeks to turn deportations into an efficient business ‘like Amazon’​

This month, ICE invited companies to bid on contracts to operate detention centers at sites around the country for up to $45 billion as the agency begins to scale up from its current budget for about 41,000 beds to 100,000 beds.

Immigrants forced to sleep on floors at overwhelmed ICE detention centers​

Conditions are deteriorating as many detention centers approach capacity and the Trump administration closes two agencies overseeing health and safety at the facilities.

[In early April, ICE was detaining 48,000 -- well above its bed limit.]

Key piece of Trump administration plan to expand migrant detention space appears to have fallen through​

A contract for a sprawling tent city at the Fort Bliss military base in Texas has been terminated, according to a government document reviewed by NBC News. [This was floated after Guantanamo turned out to be an expensive flop.]

A $3.8 billion contract was awarded to Deployed Resources, a contractor that has previously provided toilets and tents for concertgoers, victims of natural disasters and, more recently, migrants who were briefly detained and processed by Border Patrol.

But last week, new language appeared on the Deployed Resources contract posted to a public records database that says it was terminated. The document says it was terminated "for convenience" and cites Trump’s executive order about “radical transparency" and "wasteful spending,” but it is unclear whether cost savings played into the decision.

The canceled contract is another obstacle for the Trump administration’s efforts to increase detention to alleviate strains on the system. One hundred-forty-one facilities now hold 47,928 detainees, far above the 41,500 approved by Congress, which means ICE is not funded by Congress for every bed it uses and could face a budget shortfall by the end of the fiscal year.

No, this thread is about vile, unsanitary and overcrowded conditions in facilities that are now thousands over capacity.

How sad and awful.

Okay, let them sit in jail for months or years until they finally get a chance to defend being an illegal alien criminal and then get sent home.

I think everyone should be treated humanely, but people shouldn't be coming here illegally in the first place. I have no idea if that makes any sense.
