    I think saying “I told you so” or gloating just makes republicans dig in their heels, but I do think this is a good time to talk to our fellow Americans about why we believe in compassion and restraining law enforcement. Now the man seems to suck politically and that says bad things about who he is, but the story as presented is one where he made some bad choices then turned his life around to improve his community. When someone misreading a file can get you deported that’s a problem, when it can get you deported to a country you have no ties to it’s a much bigger problem.

    We have 4 amendments in the bill of rights about restraining the justice system. The 9th is also relevant here of "just because we clarified these rights doesn’t mean you can take rights we didn’t specify away.
