How much authority does I.C.E. have over our judicial system on the grounds of deportation?

Question

Are their loop holes that could protect an illegal immigrant or is the law clear--illegal is illegal and they have to go back?

Is it possible to sue the court system for not enforcing immigration laws--for sweeping it under the rug?

Answer 1

Actually, ICE is an enforcement agency. they don't write the laws, any moe than the police write our laws . Congress does that. Immigration law is pretty complicated and there are exceptions, or loopholes, written into it. That's how immigration attorneys make their living, exploiting exceptions for their clients, like in other sections of the law. As for suing the court system, good luck with that.

Answer 2

Complete authority. Illegal is illegal.  I wish it were possible to sue them, just like I wish we could sue judges that release dangerous criminals that reoffend.  I'm afraid we can't.

Answer 3

Illegal is illegal, but the number of lawyers diddling with this is very, very large.  Illegal is not illegal for them.  And no.. they cannot, and almost always do not, sweep it under a rug.

The Border Patrol was not funded in the late 1990's and the early 2000's.  The equipment and the manpower went down, down, down.  Mr. Bush is trying hard to restore what he and Mr. Clinton screwed up, and with all that force feeding of new Border Patrol Officers, there could be Border Patrol Officers who take liberties.  Newbies s***w up!  With experience, I don't believe that will happen.
