I agree. But you would think that a president who is concerned for the safety of citizens from the "bad Hombres" would want to concentrate on those who are the worst of the worst as soon as practicable - those who are actually doing harm to the US and it's citizens. Not removing people for the political optics.

Uh; if ALL illegal aliens are running scared: a LOT will leave on their own or would be easy for the cops to pick up, with the few hard cases being real quiet.
I think that you mean throwback, catch and release is when people are freed before their hearing.
No....I meant "catch and release". Look up Obama's "catch and release" immigration policy. There are tons of links.
In truth, that practice as well as DACA is IMO why there is so much uproar about immigration issues....People who have been used to being allowed to stay even when they got into the U.S. illegally has given them a true sense of "entitlement".
Even though the laws of illegal immigration haven't really changed, and are simply being enforced now.

We called it a throwback when I was doing immigration consultation. Never heard of it in that instance.
Immigration arrests rose 32.6 percent in the first weeks of the Trump administration, with newly empowered federal agents intensifying their pursuit of not just undocumented immigrants with criminal records, but also thousands of illegal immigrants who have been otherwise law-abiding.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 21,362 immigrants, mostly convicted criminals, from January through mid-March, compared to 16,104 during the same period last year, according to statistics requested by The Washington Post.
Do you have any evidence that Trump changed Obama's removal definition? I'm curious because I sure haven't heard anything about that happening.
" Spicer: Obama Administration Used 'Different Set of Accounting' to Count Deportations
"He explained that under Obama, ICE used "a different set of accounting," including in its deportation statistics not only formal “removals” from within the U.S. but also “returns,” or people caught and turned around at the U.S.-Mexico border."
sort of...except that unlawful presence in the country is not a crime. It is a violation of federal immigration law to remain in the country without legal authorization, but this violation is punishable by civil penalties, not criminal
"except that unlawful presence in the country is not a crime."
Sorry, it IS a crime.
Your OWN statement say so.
"It is a violation of federal immigration law to remain in the country"
It may not be a felony and is a misdemeanor BUT, it is STILL a crime to commit a misdemeanor and are subject to judicial penalties.
If you did NOT commit a crime, how can a judge fine you or make you attend DUI classes, etc.?
If you are innocent, you would NOT have to do what the judge decries.
" Misdemeanor
A criminal act that is less serious than a felony is considered to be a “misdemeanor.” While specific laws vary by jurisdiction, misdemeanors generally include such acts as disturbing the peace, petty theft, drunk driving with no injury to others, public drunkenness, simple assault and battery, and traffic violations. These are tried in the local municipal or justice courts, and carry punishments including fines and/or incarceration in the county jail.
Definition of Misdemeanor

You may not call shooting someone murder BUT, that does NOT change the law.
