Subject: Re: The courts can't seem to stop him
Technically, no. Say somebody is in the country illegally and they're arrested for say, DUI. The LEO can run the ID of the person and figure out they're not a citizen, call ICE, and then that person is deported.
They have a chance to argue that they're actually a citizen. They have a chance to argue that if they're not a citizen, they're here legally. They get a chance to have someone other than just the ICE review whether they are subject to being deported, because those things are handled by the justice system. Criminal, civil, or administrative immigration courts - the federal government can't just disappear you.
