Why not deport the people serving time after they've served their time? Why does Trump want to let criminals out of jail early?
That's why due process covers non-citizens visiting the US. So we don't set up a system where people come and commit crimes then get sent home with no consequences.

Trump’s demands of Minnesota and Minneapolis - still blaming Dem leadership in the state for the chaos and death his regime has caused. Doesn’t sound promising.
