WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed a memorandum on Friday ordering the end of a policy, known as “catch and release,” in which illegal immigrants are released from detention while awaiting a court hearing on their status.

As part of the memo, Trump asked Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to produce a list of military facilities that could be used to detain illegal immigrants.

5. Due process violation.

Isn’t the point of the policy that we are innocent until proven guilty. I don’t suppose it occurred to him that a US citizen who finds the self in the wrong place at the wrong time could find themselves incarcerated unjustly.

7. Ever since the Toddler in Chief got elected,

I don't even walk to my mailbox without my ID and social security card. I don't believe in the goodness of people. I don't trust the truth to win out. The last thing I want to do is end up in Mexico or a detainment facility.

8. Yeah? Well we want trump out of office. Turn over on the worm and we'll talk.

I doubt Manafart will flip though. He's probably more afraid of the Russians than prison; besides, trump has surely promised a pardon for loyalty.

9. Trump is like a combine rolling through a bean field

Everything Barack Obama did is gone now, nothing but dust and stubble left.

10. Good analogy
