>trying to enforce it as a criminal offense

Do you have an example that is not isolated incidents?

gestures at the numerous overcrowded ICE detention facilities, the rotten food, the denied healthcare / resulting deaths, the separation of children from parents, the shuffling to frustrate habeas petitions and other legal interventions, the constant rhetoric spewed by admin officials

But deportation and the related procedures are not a punishment. Things that you list is similar to what would happen if a cop stopped you for speeding, and you couldn't get to somewhere that you should, in time, and some bad things happen...

Ahahahahahahahaha thank you for proving to everyone reading that you are not a serious participant in the conversation.

My point is that what you describe is NOT punishment, but steps taken to stop something that is illegal from going on...

And your response is....weird? It is as if there is nothing at the bottom of these (your) arguments. You poke a finger and it comes out of the other end..
