ICE arrested these immigrants in San Francisco and sent them 2,400 miles away—to Hawaii (www.motherjones.com)

There are no ICE detention centers in Hawaii, so the federal government has placed immigrants in prisons. ICE in February signed an agreement with the Federal Bureau of Prisons—part of the Justice Department—to reserve space for ICE detainees, according to the Honolulu Civil Beat, which reported residents from out of state being transferred to Hawaii as early as June.

Immigration lawyers in Hawaii told the Civil Beat that they are concerned residents of other states are not getting effective counsel in Hawaii; even if they had a lawyer, it’s difficult to stay in touch thousands of miles away, they told the Civil Beat.

im jumping in here that if the democrats were not diverse enough to have disagreements I likely would not like the party. There is the reason democrats have a harder time passing things and that is because they are not a one thing only party which the republicans are (lower taxes on the rich). There are all sorts of things the republicans used to have as whats important to them that they have abandoned except for lowering taxes. Everything else is just fucking around for them and mainly meant to divide the majority of non rich folks.
