I support the deportation of dangerous criminals. I too live in an American city. I too want my family to be safe. I too have the same fears that everyone else has with regard to crime. But disappearing someone with no due process is neither legitimate nor legal. We have a Constitution and a Fifth Amendment right affording you a trial. If there are gang members who are here illegally, we’re likely in agreement that those people should be deported— but we have to know they’re gang members. And the way to do that is by affording them due process, which Garcia was denied. Let’s be clear: that is not an extreme position. Disappearing innocent people to foreign gulags is the extreme position.
