Over 70 percent of the people deported have not been convicted of any crime. Many were abducted by ICE agents in plain clothes and wearing masks to prevent identification, from their places of work, courthouses, or their homes and apartments. Families have been broken up and family members "disappeared". We have no way of ensuring that they are being held in humane conditions. Venezuela's attorney general has announced that Venezuelan migrants held in El Salvador who recently were returned to Venezuela suffered torture and abuse while imprisoned in CECOT. Because there's been no due process — no independent verification of who these people are or even that they have been in the United States illegally — it is entirely possible that some detainees are American citizens. Does the United States need a reasonable immigration policy that includes economic stability and a clear, reasonable path to citizenship?
