The Michigan arrests were part of a coordinated sweep in recent weeks by immigration authorities who detained about 199 Iraqi immigrants around the country. They had final deportation orders and convictions for serious crimes.
The roundup followed Iraq's agreement to accept deportees as part of a deal that removed the country from President Donald Trump's revised temporary travel ban.
Some of those affected came to the United States as children and committed their crimes decades ago, but they had been allowed to stay because Iraq previously declined to issue travel documents for them. That changed after the two governments came to the agreement in March.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has said that people with convictions for murder, rape, assault, kidnapping, burglary and drugs and weapons charges were among the Iraqis arrested nationwide.
The ACLU argued that many of those affected in Michigan are Chaldean Catholics who are "widely recognized as targets of brutal persecution in Iraq."
Some Kurdish Iraqis were also picked up in Nashville, Tennessee. In a letter on Thursday, Tennessee Representative Jim Cooper, a Democrat, asked the Iraqi ambassador whether Iraq would be able to ensure safe passage for them if they were returned.
The U.S. government has argued that the district court does not have jurisdiction over the case. Only immigration courts can decide deportation issues, which can then only be reviewed by an appeals court, it said.

Blocking the President from using his powers legally because you feel that the criminals that are being deported might be themselves a victim is not checks and balances you faggot. How little do you idiots know about our govt?

Liberal officials only recognize how Christians are brutalized in Muslim majority countries only when it involves contesting a deportation order for murderers and rapists.
I used to think these people were willfully ignorant/bluepilled of Muslims but now I understand they're aware and pure evil.

Country isn't Nation, dingbat. There was a time when America was the country of Americans, now it isn't. Our Nation is under attack by precisely these sorts of people. To whom do my loyalties lie, the country or the nation? Anyone who says country is an imbecile.
Grayson Roberts
lol, they aren't. Go look up debt solvency by State retard, you'll notice that Illinois is the worst, California is second. Both states are within inches of going bankrupt. California's "economy" is literally built on debt, and now they're talking about raising taxes by 15% to pay for a system that will cost 4 times their current annual budget.
It blows my fucking mind that Demoshits talk about things they don't understand. The South is doing GREAT in terms of actually paying its state debts because it DOESN'T SPEND MORE MONEY THAN IT TAKES IN IN TAX REVENUE. When you account for the massive borrowing and the sheer unsustainability of that economic model, you see the real picture of which states are economically healthy and which are about to crash so hard they'll make Zimbabwe look like the Japanese fucking Miracle.
