"Yeah, I think Americans want and expect that we'll have a secure border, understand that we have immigration laws, and that those immigration laws have to be enforced, Buttigieg said. But what we're seeing is not that. What we're seeing is, the people who are supposed to be enforcing the law are breaking the law. It's been held in court that they have violated countless court orders,"
"and the people they're going after are not increasingly and proportionally not just the person we can all agree needs to be deported and dealt with, somebody with a criminal record. He continued: But when you see a 5-year-old kid in a Spiderman backpack being treated being incarcerated this way, when you see people who did follow the rules, follow the laws, did everything they're supposed to and they are still getting arrested, mistakenly deported, having their rights violated."
Americans expect a secure border and enforcement of immigration laws. Enforcement agencies have been found to violate court orders and, in practice, sometimes break the law. Targeting increasingly includes people without criminal records, producing wrongful arrests, mistaken deportations, and rights violations. Young children have been detained and incarcerated in those operations. Claims exist that Americans called for stricter enforcement and a secure southern border after large numbers of border gotaways. Recent violent incidents underscore debates over tactics and the need to align enforcement with legal and humanitarian standards.
