Is it a SJW stance to not want children forcibly removed from their parents, kept in cages, and sexually abused by guards who were hired without sufficient vetting?

Or is it just a SJW stance to not want your 8 hours of labor to help run those camps more efficiently, so that greater numbers of people can be detained?

Expecting a company to discontinue supporting another entity because you disagree with their policies is not a good mindset.

You have to consider the repercussions of bowing down to this way of thinking. Think about how many people would say Planned Parenthood is doing things worse than ICE. Would you want companies that support Planned Parenthood to stop because they offer a politically controversial service?

Or an SJW stance to not want the government creating fake universities with the purpose of entrapping people legally in the US in order to deport them.

According to the article the students were aware that the school was fake and were using it for visa fraud.

> students were aware that the school was fake

Actually - according to the article, prosecutors allege that they were aware of this fact.

However, from the reporting done by the Detroit Free Press (which is the paper of record in metro Detroit), a defense attorney who represented some of the students involved said that ICE even arrested students who realized it was a fraud and tried to transfer out:

> Reddy said, though, that in some cases, students who transferred out from the University of Farmington after realizing they didn't have classes on-site, were still arrested.

This story is far more complex than you're summing it up to be.

> The eight recruiters allegedly helped create fraudulent records, including transcripts, that students could give to immigration authorities. Authorities said in the original charging documents that they collectively accepted more than $250,000 in kickbacks for their work, not realizing that the payments were actually coming from undercover agents who worked for Homeland Security Investigations, a division of ICE.

According to the article, seven of the eight have already plead guilty.

By your logic, we should also oppose companies that deliver food to ICE. If the children starve, who cares, at least we have the "moral high ground" since the company isn't working with ICE!

Which is the correct solution?

1. Send them to jail with their parents.

2. Separate them and send them back to their country (either with family or social services).

3. Separate them and keep them in America (either with family or social services).

4. Send the entire family back to their own country.

5. Release the entire family in the US.

So many fathers removed from their children legally in divorce yet you die on this hill. Wonder why

Straw man. It's not ICE policy to sexually abuse anyone. Sexual abusers are hidden everywhere. We might as well ban every large organization from GitHub by that reasoning. Yes the children are temporarily separated from their (alleged) parents. That is arguably the right thing to do, as it deters illegal immigration, and protects those children who are being trafficked as sex slaves.
