The bill would require Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to take into custody illegal immigrants who are arrested and charged with causing the death or serious injury of another. U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin said the bill would detain victims of trafficking or domestic abuse who were charged with crimes. According to him, the bill would "deprive immigrants of the due process that everyone is afforded."
As evidenced by offenders not being tried for several years after the crime due to continuances, motions, pre- trail motions, exculpatory evidence and the last refuge of a scoundrel, firing council and acting as one’s own attorney. Contrary to what some out in the sticks say, offenders in IL have an exhausting array of options to drag an open and shut case out way, way too long, usually at taxpayers expense.
That is not so. The Supreme Court has ruled that due process applies to all PERSONS not just citizens. The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly held that this includes all persons present within U.S. jurisdiction, whether that presence is legal or not.
That said, I don’t see how detaining them would deprive them of due process.
Durbin still the criminals best friend and nary a perp re the lifer he sprung that murdered an innocent woman due to an imagined slight. Bottom feeding life long pol par excellence.

If my child was raped and murdered by an illegal alien i know who id have a very personal chat with. These psychopaths masquerading as politicians need to be treated like your worst enemy. Because they are.

Do Nothing Dick Durbin has blood on his hands once again. He’d rather put Americans at risk than detain illegal immigrants. It really is that simple. A worthless waste of space.

I get that they’re trying to stack the House of Representatives, not that I like it, but how big of an ass do you have to be to not kick out the criminals. This guy is a useless POS.
Because, they hate you, deplorable, and they prefer the criminal immigrant as their fellow citizen rather than you. This is not hyperbole, they say it out loud, all of the time. You just have to listen to your crazy wine aunt Marlene, she will tell you exactly what she would do to Trump supporters if she were in charge, and it would end with tens of millions dead, because she believes it would make the world a better place.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Due process is afforded to citizens….man, this guy is lame!
Not true. Pick up a book and learn something. Going through life as a complete idiot is no way to live. Typical pointy wire ignorant comment.
Bill, Are you a farmer in Oswego?
Doubtful – farmers are smart and savvy.
If you ate today, thank a farmer for growing food and truck drivers for delivering it to a grocery store near you.

Correct on both counts, Eric.
As usual Dick is an embarrassment to this state…
Durbin is an idiot! Why can’t we get that old coot voted out? Oh yeah Chicago dems run the whole state!
Wirepoints, looks like only half of your site is working
We are on it.
