Members of Congress expressed outrage at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deceiving eight men who were recently deported to South Sudan, as revealed earlier this week in an investigation by The Intercept. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., called the expulsions “abhorrent.”
Before the men boarded a plane in May, officials told them that they were being sent on a short trip from Texas to another ICE facility in Louisiana. Many hours later, the plane landed in Djibouti.
We can’t oppose people breaking the law and break the same law ourselves. That’s just nonsensical hypocrisy.
I’m afraid all the conventional rules are out the window. I mean when the stakes are becoming what they are, you do what needs done. That doesn’t involve going to Congress, writing bills that will never get passed or going before a supreme court where the conclusion is decided before the case even gets underway.
Crying on CNN isn’t going to stop what’s going on, I know that much for sure.
