Thanks! Learning about anti-commandeering doctrine was insightful.
I think one thing that has confused me on civil vs criminal law is my mental model that Civil violations are handled with fines. But deportations / detainment before a deportation go way beyond a fine. I don't know the law around that, but that could be another good "what is" post on this topic.
It's on the list! My mental model around civil/criminal law in the broad view is something like "seemingly clean distinction at first, then tons of counterintuitive things hit you in the face when you get into specialized areas of law."
I like the Gemini response. Mine would be: it's ultimately case law and SCOTUS that determine whether deportation is a civil remedy or something else.
