ICE using 'points system' to identify migrant gang members: What to know

A form used by federal agents to determine Tren de Aragua membership was filed in court by the ACLU.
www.newsweek.com
Among the filings from the ACLU submitted Friday was "Exhibit S," which included a form entitled "Alien Enemies Act: Alien Enemy Validation Guide," which is allegedly being used by federal agents to determine whether an immigrant is a TdA member.

Agents must determine whether an individual is over 14 years of age, is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, and is a citizen of Venezuela. If any of these are not true, an immigrant cannot be deported under the AEA.

The form then includes a scorecard of different characteristics, including confirmed criminal activity related to the gang, messages showing evidence of links to the group, and whether they have tattoos which known members also have. (Tattoos and dress are low on the scale = 4 points)

(ACLU submission of Exhibit) ^
 
The checklist assigns point totals to different categories for each immigrant, including "subject has tattoos denoting membership/loyalty to TDA" and subject "...displays insignia, logos, notations, drawings, or dress known to indicate allegiance to TDA."


Each observation has an assigned value ranging from two points, up to 10 points. According to the document, migrants who have a total score of eight points or higher "are validated as members of TDA," and will be issued a "Notice and Warrant of Apprehension and Removal Under the Alien Enemies Act."


"Aliens scoring 6 or 7 points may be validated as members of TDA; you should consult with a supervisor and (Office of the Principal Legal Advisor), reviewing the totality of the facts, before making that determination," the checklist instructions state.
 

Regardless of how they identify alleged gang members, they must still receive a full examination and hearing before a US Court before they can be deported under the AEA. 50 USC §23 is unambiguous about this. The fact remains that the Attorney General was ordered by President in his Proclamation to act pursuant to the AEA "consistent with applicable law":

Sec. 4. Pursuant to the Alien Enemies Act, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, consistent with applicable law, apprehend, restrain, secure, and remove every Alien Enemy described in section 1 of this proclamation. The Secretary of Homeland Security retains discretion to apprehend and remove any Alien Enemy under any separate authority.

As 50 USC §23 is part of the AEA, it obviously meets the criteria of applicable law.

So why did the Attorney General take it upon herself to disobey the order of the President?
 
If you score high...self-deport and get the hell out of America!
 

I can't understand how some Americans actually argue that these clearly violent, criminal, foreign gang members, many of whom have committed numerous serious crimes, been arrested, and then released without notifying INS and/or ICE per Federal law, should be treated better than they treat actual American citizens.

These are serial rapists, muggers, thieves, armed car-jackers, home invaders, child and female sex traffickers, among other heinous crimes. They have neither respect for nor concerns about our laws. Yet the so-called Liberal Democrats protect them like they were innocent lambs being persecuted for littering.
 

Where in Federal law does it require local law authorities to notify ICE when they apprehend a suspected illegal immigrant?
 
Nobody is arguing this.
The constitution provides them specific rights, the same as you.
 

Well as I’ve said in so many threads in the issue of Immigration. I don’t care how many you deport. I don’t care if you deport them all. I love the idea that you are deporting the worker base for RW businesses.

What I do care about is the Constitution. I refuse to become one of those ends justify the means types who support crimes being committed by the Government because of “them”.
 
And yet at least one such identified gang member does not have gang tattoos in real life...only in in doctored photos.

Yes, the part above the actual NON GANG tattoos is photoshopped and used to defend the Trump Administrations disregard for law. My statement "one such identified gang member does not have GANG tattoos in real life...." is completely true.

respond on this thread pls

Trump administration 'looking at' suspending habeas corpus, Stephen Miller says

This is just buck wild. That we have no jurisdiction in other countries? The State can’t bring charges against them because they have not committed a crime so we send them off to jail to rot anyway. We're not we're just determining if their citizens and if they're legally here and if they're...

Then I think you need to study the Supremacy Clause (Article VI, Clause 2) regarding this issue. Absent a crime prosecutable in a State Court this is not a State or Local issue, it is a Federal issue. Federal Immigration law pertains. The Supremacy Clause states that the Constitution, and Federal laws and treaties made under its authority are the highest laws of the land and take precedence over any State and local laws.
 

I’m sorry. I wasn’t clear enough. If you want to deport all the Illegals that’s fine with me. When I mentioned the Constitution I was implying that Due Process and all other protections must be followed. I was not suggesting that States should be able to do anything of the sort.

When I say I find it laughable that they are deporting the workers for Trump Supporting folks. I mean things like this.


In the modern Political climate I would be described as a far left liberal since I oppose pretty much all of Trump’s agenda, or at least his implementation.

the actual tattoos are not gang tattoos. MS 13 is not allusive nor do they allow allusive tats...they are bold and clear as to their membership...he was not a member of MS 13. In fact, the Colonia he lived in was dominated by Barrio 18 (18th street gang) so, he would have been shot on sight just for living there if he were MS 13.
 
Also, Anatta....as the Supreme Court said, and regardless of the tantrum that Trump is having...he has to follow due process.
