Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

And it seems a safe assumption they're all citizens, or else they'd have just been deported
We're a police state. Whenever you hear Republicans or neoliberal complain about anything in the justice system is because the system isn't draconian enough. Chuck and Jeffries are bought by the prison industrial complex.
Dude, we invented police. Literally. We are the original police state, which can be easily backed up by the fact that we have a higher percentage of incarcerated individuals than any other nation. And that has been true for a very long time.
I believe the original police was created in Britain in the late 1820's by Robert Peel. It was another 30 years for it to be copied in the US. As a UK citizen I can only apologise although much like your government you created something much much worse. Quite the achievement based on how bad our own police are, and government.
The Scotland Yard or whatever they started with did not really even resemble modern policing.
Nah even the ones they're "deporting" as I understand it most of them are being sent to the camps in the hopes that the cruel conditions with convince them to leave willingly and give up due process rights.
On some level they still think they can only get away with actually deporting so many with zero due process before they actually face consequences. So if looks like they're trying to be as cruel as possible in the hopes that they'll just waive those rights and allow themselves to be deported.
