For US citizens, that’s not so true. People do seem to be getting no-bills from grand juries and acquitted at trial.
The problem will be getting a trial. Theres been several stories of people getting deported hours after being whisked away because ICE didnt want a judge to step in
Always been a risk with ICE and the Border Patrol. About 1% of deportations have long been of US citizens. You need to get a friend to bring your proof of citizenship and try repeatedly to come home if that happens. A lawyer helps too.
No, ICE needs to follow the fucking law.
Having your buddies ready to drop off ‘papers please’ documents is not fucking American.
Cool, and what % have been legal permanent residents or green card holders?
What % have no criminal record (this one I can answer: 98%)
