They're not prisoners, they're not charged with a crime.
They're in the US without the legal authority to be in the US. Despite the drumbeat from the right calling them 'Illegals', they're not criminals... they simply are not allowed to be here (due to not having a visa) and so they're being returned to their country of origin. This is how immigration enforcement has been done for centuries in the US.
The major difference now is that Trump is treating undocumented immigrants as if they're a national security threat and allocating a large amount of resources to deporting these people. Obviously, this is massively damaging to the US as the lax enforcement over the decades has shifted our workforce so that much of our domestic farming and food production is done by immigrants, often without documentation. His motivations seem to be to play to the racism in his base and the damage that this enforcement action causes to families is reprehensible and disgusting.
But, in the end, this is the same means immigration enforcement that we've been using in the US for as long as any of us has been alive. The only difference is the scale and motivation.
The Air Force isn't doing anything illegal and protecting Airmen from retaliation is well within the mission scope of the Air Force. The OP isn't basing their arguments on reality. They're attempting to frame the removing of name and unit patches as something sinister to people who are ignorant of how these things work.
You don't want to have a bunch of people who're angry and could potentially be vengeful to have your name and other identifying information. It's as simple as that.
You fucking moron.... Anyone being held against their will is a prisoner.
