Exactly. Which makes the practice cruel and unusual.
Weird reading of cruel and unusual but okay.
True enough, but if you send someone to a foreign prison, you have a certain obligation to ensure decent treatment--particularly when the person in question has not committed any crime in the country where the prison is located.
Yeah, to be clear, I'm against us shipping people to foreign prisons.
We say about about suspected criminals "if you haven't done anything wrong, why run or hide?" Seems to apply here.
I'm not trying to be a rear-end, but that is a potential consequence of a person deciding to enter someone else's country illegally. It seems we are putting the entire responsibility and accountability on the country being violated rather than the person who committed the crime to begin with. Again, I'm not advocating going out of one's way to mistreat anyone. But our country carrying the entire burden of ensuring the person stays safe throughout the entire ordeal (even after he leaves our country) is going beyond the scope of our responsibility, in my opinion. Don't enter another country illegally.
DHS: ICE Agents Now Face a 500% Increase in Assaults Against Them

I think the issue is the contractors looking for undocumented laborers will go to Home Depot parking lot, and pick guys up for day labor, pay them in cash and avoid the paperwork.
Agreed with your first two points, this one is a bit more complex. The reality - and we know this - is that many illegals will work for very low, even illegally low, wages. It's still more money than they can make where they came from, so they're happy - but this is where US citizens don't get work. While I'm aware most Americans don't want to be a roofer or work in the fields, there are those who will do so, but not for nothing - the wages have been kept artificially low due to the willingness of the illegals to work for less money. Simple supply and demand, and while yes, that means some of the things we enjoy will increase in cost - some somewhat dramatically, as labor is typically a large percentage of a cost of goods or services - the reality is the 'benefit' you or I get comes at the cost of reasonable wages for an American who won't climb on a hot roof for $10-15 per hour.
Farmers and contractors would challenge your assertion that American's are available to install roofs, landscape properties, construct houses, install countertops or even build appliances or a myriad of other task at any price. A good indicator of that would be to go out into a field and witness the pace of work required to gather vegetables or fruits like watermelon then find an American who would undertake that at any price.

Public database of ICE agents' personal details sparks backlash
A spokesperson for the organization which made the database told Newsweek "People carrying out violent state policy should not be protected by anonymity."
I don't watch faux news, ever.
I want to see what happens when they show up at an ICE agent's home in a "stand your ground" state. If the government is going to move slowly to protect these agents, don't be surprised when some of these wokesters wind up getting smoked on someone's front lawn. I won't cry for them, but I (unfortunately) know some who would.
Will you cry for the plainclothed and masked ICE agents who in their haste to deport brown people try to snatch up American citizens or legal non-citizens and receive a "stand your ground" bullet for their trouble?
It would seem that going after the business owners would be a much more effective and less violent way to deal with this issue.
