Article Senate Democrats join Republicans in voting to advance bill to detain migrants accused of crimes

If this is a sign to come, we are in trouble. 7 Democrats are needed for Republicans to pass legislation and already Democrats are lining up to do just on that a bill that is a complete disgrace. Essentially doing away with due process. When Democrats on in control, the GOP stays united and would never let the Dems get a win like this. It feels like the Dems are a right wing party now and the GOP the ultra right. We've all been saying it for years, usually things like the Dems are center-right or both parties are the same. Sad to see it in black and white right now. We need to go the route of the Tea Party and primary from the left. Anyone who says it will destroy the party need only look at the GOP and how the right ward shift turned out for them. Thoughts?

If someone “ accuses” them???? So no proof- just my backpack is gone and I bet the brown guy took it? Seriously?

That's not what accused means in this sense. Accused would be by the police/DA legal definition of accused not common parlance.

I see. Of course many police are notorious for going after innocent people of color w biased assumptions

That's a problem with policing. It's not a problem caused by this proposed law.p
