> I see your point, but that’s not deporting, it would be outsourcing the prison.
How is sending someone out of the US to be imprisoned in another country not deporting them from the US? To imprison them outside the US they have to first expel them from the US. In other words: deport them.
Only someone ungrounded from reality would claim that literally deporting people is not deportation.
The courts haven't allowed many of the high-profile deportation of non-citizens that have occurred recently, including the single one that is getting the most attention, having both issued orders in advance and after the fact, to, as yet, absolutely no substantive effect on executive branch behavior.
So, while other things may be debatable, what is not debatable is the clear fact that "the courts won't allow it" is not sufficient to establish "it will not happen".
