Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

And what do you think happens after they’ve been taken into custody for overstaying their visa?
Remember - it’s not “alleged” that they’ve overstayed their visa. It’s fact. It’s like if you get caught driving without a license. You get arrested. That’s the process.
You can’t “object” to your visa being expired., just like you can’t “object” to not having a drivers license. These are things that are registered with the government and they can easily check the status of.
If you are caught driving without a license, the police officer takes down the evidence, maybe they arrest you, you are brought before a magistrate to see if evidence looks solid and you can decide whether to accept whatever the charge is or dispute it. If you dispute you are probably allowed free on bail or your own recognizance until you are called in to court. There the state describes the charge and produces their evidence and you have an opportunity to argue it.
There is all sorts of due process, checks and balances against abuse of authority, and the state has to have a preponderance of evidence showing you were guilty.
And of course the analogy falls over when you realize that overstaying your visa is a civil offense, not a crime.
The analogy doesn’t change. You get taken into custody for overstaying your visa. That’s the first step of the due process.
I don’t know where you live, but where I line driving without a license is a straight up arrest and fine. You don’t get brought before a magistrate where they present evidence, because the fact you don’t have a license is not up for dispute. There’s no evidence that can change that.
All of this is almost irrelevant though, because the very first step is being detained. That’s the start of the due process.
