The DUI guy in my example was also a legal immigrant. They are treated the same way if they commit crimes.
He was in his 40s, and got deported for DUI he did when he was 18. The problem was that by now he was married with kids in US, so it created more issues than is solved.
Correct, with the caveat that illegal immigrants are subject to deportation simply for being in the country illegally.
The guy in his 40s who was deported for a DUI he committed when he was 18 is a heartbreaking case on many levels. Still, information on the potential consequences of your criminal actions as a non-citizen are no secret, even if the government may not catch up with your case for years and, in the more extreme examples, for decades. Now, I argue that this man was a good candidate for executive clemency, and that the law should be amended to make case-by-case exceptions for extreme situations like this. But these are largely policy considerations for the future and I ultimately won't condemn an administration for enforcing the law as it is written.
Illegal non citizens here have NO Constitutional right to anything. They are not citizens and therefore not eligible to receive any Constitutional protections. Especially if they are here illegally.

It’s not a “ human right†to commit crimes and be given a permanent Get Out of Jail free card.
In this case (which the 9th Circuit once again got wrong) US Law prevails.
Brief synopsis: the case was about a Congressional statute concerning whether HHS/ICE had to be waiting to pick up an illegal who had been taken in for a crime and then released pending a hearing. The SCOTUS dissenters said that HHS/ICE had to be waiting and pick up the alien immediately for holding and deportation….if not, then the alien was immune from holding and deportation. The consent opinion from SCOTUS was that this is not the case…HHS/ICE can pick up any alien anytime.and deport them if there is ground to do so. The case was not about President Trump….the case was about a law passed by Congress BEFORE President Trump was even president.
Makes perfect sense to me. If the law calls for your deportation if you commit a crime, it shouldn't matter whether the feds detain you for deportation the second after you're released from prison or years after the fact. Allowing for a bond hearing for people who are arguable flight risks doesn't compute and goes against the intention and plain reading of the law.
Yet another reason why I thank God for President Trump's election. Had Hillary won, the Supreme Court would look radically different today.
If there ever was a person considered to be a high flight risk, it would be the foreign citizen who resides illegally in our country, and is caught by US law enforcement after committing another crime. If we release them, they will just flee inside the country and hide from the law, they have already proved that they will do so.
The question asked was which human rights are violated, I know you think human rights only applies to people names T-310 or recognized by you. However the question was asked and answered.
There are some days I really would wish for a seriously totalitarian regime, just so people who disagree with general rights would learn that denying one group their rights can be stretched to every group.
The UN is not relevant. What is relevant is the US Constitution. And SCOTUS rules non citizens can be detained indefinitely. Good enough for me.
