ICE adopts new tactic: Deport before
court, removing people facing criminal
charges
May 18
Some suspects in violent assaults
and sex crimes are escaping American
justice because they're being
deported before they can stand trial,
according to a number of prosecutors
and legal experts across the country.
In one suburban Denver county, the
district attorney has tallied at
least six criminal cases he's had
to shelve or drop because
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
agents detained or deported suspects
before he could prosecute them.
In another case in the city of
Denver, a man suspected of attempted
murder was released because ICE had
deported the witnesses against him,
forcing prosecutors to drop the
charges. That suspect then tackled
an ICE agent trying to detain him
outside the jail.
And in Boston, a judge was forced
to drop charges against a man
accused of using a fake name on a
driver's license after ICE took
him into custody mid-trial and
refused to return him. Suffolk
County District Attorney Kevin
Hayden called ICE's actions
"troubling and extraordinarily
reckless," because the agents
prevented him from prosecuting
the detainee.
Across the country, prosecutors,
defense attorneys and legal
observers say they've seen an
uptick in ICE agents choosing to
deport criminal suspects, instead
of keeping them in custody and
producing them for local court
proceedings.
"It's not only undermining to the
justice system but also impacting
community safety," said Adams
County District Attorney Brian
Mason, who serves a suburban area
northeast of Denver.

Trump is a convicted criminal who pardon's lots of his fellow criminals.
When this term is over, trump will go to prison if his old age doesn't kill
him first.
