People are not stupid. They believe things for reasons. The last way for skeptics to get the attention of bright, curious, intelligent people is to belittle or condescend or to show arrogance toward their beliefs.

@DawnFantasia_NJ @CJGriffinEsq It’s unclear to me which of CJs posts you are responding to. Perhaps Im insufficiently caffeinated? Willing to learn about “longstanding issues”…

[Kathleen O'Brien @KOBrienWriter]

Delaney Hall's private prison contractors receive $1 billion in taxpayer money so they can make a profit off human suffering. I heard directly yesterday from the detainees in Unit 2 who were physically attacked by ICE agents or GEO guards because they were speaking out against the horrible conditions.

Our fight is not over until conditions improve and this facility ultimately closes. https://t.co/Sxg8dXEC1m

A blatant lie -- you are arresting and detaining people lawfully admitted to the U.S. to pursue asylum or through the refugee program.

You may not like asylum & refugee laws, but as you say, DHS can't pick and choose which laws to enforce.
