Imprisoning someone takes far more resources than any other way of handling them, so I don't see how lack of resources can be blamed here.

If you’re deporting someone, they have to be in custody. They have to deport her to Canada, not Mexico. They likely deal with many other countries and have to arrange for transportation back to all those countries.

I don’t think anyone would have a problem if she was processed promptly and quickly deported or if the confinement accommodations were nicer. That’s purely a resources problem.

In theory and past practice, perhaps.

Currently the USofA is comfortable deporting Venezuelans to El Salvador with no trial or other due process.

Venezuela has historically not cooperated with deportations. They also actively send their criminals to the US.
