Forgive my ignorance. Please explain. What I remember from reading about this elsewhere yesterday:
it looks like 5 men with tattoos were mistakenly identified as gang members, and started a suit. Sounds good, if they were falsely accused they should be exempt and compensated.
Then the judge makes it a case against all deportation of all people from america; which this article barely mentions in one sentence.
So my questions are
-
whenever i hear about gang members they seem like badguys. Is sending venezuelan gang members from america to venezuela actually bad? Why?
-
is switching the case from the faulty identification of a few to a fight on behalf of all people being deported a strategically sound decision? It feels like now the case has a larger possibility of failing for the 5 misidentified nongangmembers if their case was good and they are truly nongangmembers. Wouldn’t it make more sense to fight All Deportations as it’s own giant case rather than evolve this one about the 5 misidentified people?
what? Capitulating just like that? Reading these comments I was expecting a much longer, more intense fight. You could at least ACT like a ‘rightwing nutjob’ instead of immediately just ‘be a likeable person’.
