This  guest is an immigration attorney with expertise in ICE tactics and in ICE detention.  She dispels the misunderstanding and the myths created by the tRump administartion.  These detentions are civil detentions not criminal and entering the country with out inspection is a class B misdemeanor.  Another thing she mentions is the ever-increasing costs for detention which is currently $200 a day per detainee and there are over 70 thousand detainees.  She gives a lot of other useful to know information including the brutality in the detention centers.  For example they are taking detainees out in the Everglades and forcing them to stand with hands shackled in the hot sun being eaten by misketoes and bugs.   They are putting people in “hot boxes” and leaving them there in the hot Florida sun with no water or medical treatment when they are let out.  She describes many more examples.  Hugs
