ICE Will No Longer Sedate Deportees

Posted on January 13, 2008

From the AP Wire comes the story of the ACLU suing ICE to make them stop medicating deportees who may be a danger to themselves or others unless they secure a court order beforehand.

U.S. immigration agents must not sedate deportees without a judge’s permission, according to a policy change issued this week.

So now ICE agents must spend even more time following yet another procedure in a long list of procedures, equating to more of our tax dollars, to secure a court order when they feel they have a deportee that is dangerous and may need sedation. And what happens when the first instance comes along wherein an ICE agent is killed or injured because they simply couldn’t take the time to go to court to get an order to sedate a possibly dangerous person?

I will tell you what happens…..in the process of killing the poor ICE agent(s) the deportee is going to get the snot beat out of him (or her) or maybe possibly even killed, and the ACLU is going to run in and sue everyone involved for “violating the deportees civil and human rights” all the while never giving one snots worth of thought or worry to the civil and human rights of the ICE agent(s) involved.

Mark my words, dear readers, that day is coming, and you can say you read it here first.

One last thought on this whole thing…does anyone find it ironic that the group that supports legalizing narcotics is raising a stink about people getting stoned on the government’s dime?

Yeah…..so do I.

No, it’s not ironic. The ACLU is about civil liberties (it’s right there in the name). Ergo, you should be able to get stoned if you want to be stoned and you shouldn’t have to worry about getting drugged if you don’t want to get drugged. Two different concepts.

SO Cody, do you think it is OK for ICE agents to have to put themselves in an even more dangerous situation by not sedating a dangerous illegal alien because some weak kneed judge decided it was too mean and violates that criminals alleged civil rights?

BTW, those rights apply to our citizens, not the citizens of another country, so the judiciary (and the ACLU) is wrong squared on this matter.

Dangerous alien? Surely you aren’t referring to the Mexican farmworkers.

Besides, it doesn’t matter if they’re citizens or not. The right to liberty applies to all people. Hell, even the Constitution affirms that.

Cody, the right to liberty is not the issue here. The issue is ICE being able to do their jobs without the interference of the court.

I don’t see what’s stopping them from doing their jobs.

And the right to liberty is always the issue. If an organization can’t do their job without violating peoples’ rights, that organization should find another way to do their job. It’s that simple.
