The word this journalist is looking for is "innocent"

[–] DreamAccountant@lemmy.world 49 points 8 months ago

The other word the "journalist" forgot was "murdered".

ICE murdered an innocent man.

You get it. Keep it up. Stop the doublespeak. Speak the truth. Stop using sarcasm. Be direct.

Unlawful presence is not a crime at all - it's a civil immigration violation.

If someone overstayed a visa (about 40% of undocumented people), they never committed any crime
Unlawful presence = civil matter handled in immigration court, not criminal court
No criminal penalties, just deportation/removal

Being in the U.S. without valid legal status is a civil offense. It's not criminal.

Are you just ignorant of the law or are you purposefully spreading false information?

An innocent's life was taken away by the criminal Trump regime's Gestapo thugs.
