A Washington state mother and her 6-year-old son have been released after spending more than three weeks in US immigration detention due to a brief trip to Canada and a small paperwork mistake, her attorney told CNN on Saturday.
This is NOT “playing out like it would for decades.” Previously you’d be out on bail or released on your own recognizance. Trump’s administration has changed all that and requiring people to be imprisoned for weeks to months. This doesn’t benefit the taxpayer and is keeping visitors away, and damaging our own economy and costing us allies.
It would have been nice if they would have done it but there’s not any legal requirement right.
Other than the rather shitty long wait for the hearing, this is playing out about like it would for decades.

Tell me, How about bail be set? Perhaps some kind of hearing?
What is legal and what is ethical are not always the same.
Very true
