    These two are not being imprisoned (yet), they were never even accused of any crime other than not having authorization to be here (which is not always a crime in the first place), and they were originally from El Salvador.

    So as shitty as the situation is, it is likely totally legal, and is a lot different than being deported and imprisoned on made up charges that you couldn’t defend.

        But Legal is how the courts work, and at least right now the courts are the only institution that are putting a check on Trump (sometimes). Congress should be the ones making sure the Presidency is serving the needs of Justice, but that’s not going to happen anytime soon
