Hi all, I need to ask (not in or from the US). I keep seeing all this stuff about immigrants being rounded up and I have questions. Where are they being taken to? What happens to them when they’re there? If it’s some sort of ‘detention centre’ and they just kept there indefinitely? How does that work? This whole thing is so disturbing to me.

In most cases the people being arrested have already committed violent crimes or overstayed their visas, meaning they can be deported immediately. If they're being held at all it's while waiting for transport out of the country.

Usually it's an arrest, detention while they're processed in immigration court. Lately it's been rushed in multiple ways like pressuring people to agree to deportation, claiming that they'll be "processed" while out of country, and getting other nations to hold them.
