I doubt there is a Nobel Prize for that but the Trump team doesn't care about trifles like Nobel Prizes. They have their eyes on the Noble Prize. Much more rare and desirable.

Asylum is indeed a lawful status and an asylee will be "documented" once he or she has been granted that status. If a person's whole case is I entered the country unlawfully, then you are and will likely remain undocumented.
Tim Corbett (@calaiscowboy.bsky.social) reply parent
Of course, your mileage may vary.
Tim Corbett (@calaiscowboy.bsky.social) reply parent
It's illegal activity but the accepted term of art in immigration land is undocumented alien.

Well, to be fair, after the bombs there were surrender negotiations with the Japanese
Tim Corbett (@calaiscowboy.bsky.social) reply parent
Sure but the person who enters the country between ports of entry is doing that for a reason. They know that if they show up at a POE, they will be denied entry because they don't qualify for an entry document. They knew from their first step in the US that what they were doing was illegal.
Tim Corbett (@calaiscowboy.bsky.social) reply parent
It doesn't imply that there is an existing document. It means that people who are lawfully in the US are "documented" while people who have entered illegally are not entitled to a document and are "undocumented".

So sick of these dipshits talking about the will of the people when, once again, Don Trump failed to get to 50%. He is 0 for 3. Not one freaking time did he get half of all voters to say "yeah that's my guy". Mandate my ass.

The most predictable outcome ever. Who would even bring the immunity question to the court in the first place? A lifetime criminal. Who is the person most likely to immediately start breaking every law and norm in sight? That same lifetime criminal.

Pretty sure that immigration agents do have the authority to question anybody found anywhere within the United States as to their right to legally be and/or remain in the country.

I think this guy is less qualified to run NYC than Hegseth is to run the Pentagon. And the fact that he can't bring himself to condemn any violent intent of the global intifada is troubling, to say the least.

Agreed that due process has been sacrificed in order to gin up some fast numbers. Now THAT is behavior that should be punished criminally.
Tim Corbett (@calaiscowboy.bsky.social) reply parent
Sure, I get that but depending on how an alien is charged, "illegal" immigration violations can result in criminal charges and in either case, the violations of the laws are certainly considered illegality. (not sure why i am trying to split these particular hairs btw, just can't help myself) 😅
Tim Corbett (@calaiscowboy.bsky.social) reply parent
Just because a violation is civil rather than criminal doesn't mean it's not illegal.

Thanks for this. I am very familiar with the history. My comment was simply that we have no evidence that people being apprehended now are being raped and, despite the awfulness of the current policies, I am not a fan of making accusations of crimes without evidence.
Tim Corbett (@calaiscowboy.bsky.social) reply parent
Palestine? Not sure how that's relevant here. Everyone sees what's happening with ICE. I haven't denied that nor do I support the policy. I asked for proof of detainees rounded up under this policy being raped and got called a nazi and sent links to years-old reports. And that's it.
Tim Corbett (@calaiscowboy.bsky.social) reply parent
No, somebody accused me of being a nazi because I wanted proof that this thing was happening now. And I replied that if wanting to see proof makes me a nazi then so be it. Pretty sure that asking for evidence does NOT make someone a nazi but was done trying to get through and gave up.

The only evidence of transporting that I have seen is body cam footage from some cops on a vehicle sop and the senior guy said something to the effect of "he is transporting, no doubt. Cut him loose." One guy's hunch, no bodies, no arrest, no trial. Not good enough to charge him.
