    Can it? Sure. Literally anything can happen. A black hole could suddenly appear and engulf our planet. A meteorite could impact our planet and destroy it. Billionaires could suddenly grow a conscious and give away the majority of their money. However, the likelihood of any of these, or my government kicking down my door and deporting me for absolutely no reason, is extremely improbable.

    Nothing is going to happen. And in 4 years, when your life, and the life of most legal citizens, hasn’t been impacted by anything the current administration does (just like the last one), you’ll all look back and realize you how foolish you were acting. Well, probably not, because such a thing takes self reflection, but I’m sure a few of them will.

      So… most legal citizens? How about the veteran who got deported, and is a citizen. That literally happened this past week…

        I googled “veteran deported” for anything in the past month.

        I found this and this. Neither of which mention any of the subjects of the articles were deported; only detained.

          So, detaining a citizen without a warrant is just… ok?

          I mean, are you a fan of the Cardassian Justice System?

            You are bordering on arguing in bad faith. Keep it civil or I’m gone.

            You said, deport, not detain, which are two very different things. Either you can or cannot provide a evidence of a veteran being deported. I find it odd you quickly ignored the lack of evidence that a veteran has been deported when you yourself made the claim.

            And to address your question, no, of course not. Mistakes, like with any process, will happen. A person illegally losing their freedom, even for a short period of time, is one of the most egregious crimes, in my opinion. Obviously said violator (in this case, the federal government) should be held accountable (e.g. the victims can sue).

              You are bordering on covering your ears, and pretending all is fine.

              Ill solve you’re problem, from my end. Enjoy the taste of boot.

                I tried. You made little to no arguments, and just made baseless claims towards myself. Cheers mate.
