It really bothers me that all the arguments I am reading about why Venezuelan migrants should get due process is that 70-something percent of them are not even criminals.

It’s become controversial to argue that even criminals have a right to due process.

I can't imagine the prison conditions in CECOT, but I've been to prisons and jails across Wisconsin and seen how inhumane they are. Prisons are not the answer to societal problems.

As a leader in the Wisconsin State Bar, I would like to make it clear that attacks against the rule of law are unacceptable. They are antithetical to our country's founding ideals.

I am not speaking on behalf of the Wisconsin Bar, who as a body have made no public statements about this.

"Defendants even embrace that reality as part of its
well-orchestrated mission to use CECOT as a form of punishment and deterrence"
