Will “mass deportation” actually happen (5 Viewers)

[superchuck500]

It’s so repulsive to see people cheering for what is basically 80% the same thing as the Holocaust - different end result but otherwise very similar.

Economists have said it would tank the economy and cause inflation - notwithstanding the cost.

Is it going to actually happen or is this Build The Wall 2.0?

They hide their faces because they don’t want to be doxxed.

And anyone with a removal order is a target. There are 1.4 million removal orders.

If they were doing things correctly they wouldn’t need to hide their faces because people wouldn’t be upset about what they are doing. But they are operating lawlessly. You know that. Why do you make excuses for them?

The government is now just cancelling every single resident status they can, so that ICE can swoop in and grab people and take them away when the people come for their regularly scheduled meetings. It has nothing to do with removal orders in a lot of cases.

It’s far easier to find the people who are trying to do things the right way because they show up faithfully for their scheduled meetings with Immigration. The number of criminals being deported right now has gone way, way down because it’s harder to find them. It might be dangerous for these brave masked men. (intense scornful sarcasm).

No, they’d rather hang out in a courthouse and grab people who are trying to navigate the system by operating within the system. They’d rather break a window and grab a man on his way home from church, with his children in the car. They’d rather drag a man out of his final interview before naturalization, who had come here legally and worked for years to become a citizen.

Quit defending the indefensible. There’s a right way and a wrong way to do this, apart from the debate on whether it should be done. These goons are doing everything the wrong way.

They sent at least 50 boys and men to El Salvador who were here LEGALLY, and had never broken an immigration law. They just grabbed people and sent them to a concentration camp with zero due process.

As I stated previously, I hope the problem of the gentleman from Denmark will be properly corrected at his hearing. He was not aware of the removal order and apparently neither was the case worker.

A removal order makes their actions legal. A removal order means the individual had their day in court. Under that circumstance it’s the agents duty. And they need to protect themselves from being doxxed.

The Trump administration is trying to end a cornerstone immigration policy that requires the government to provide basic rights and protections to child immigrants in its custody.

The protections, which are drawn from a 1997 consent decree known as the Flores Settlement Agreement, limit the amount of time children can be detained by immigration officials. It also requires the government to provide children in its custody with adequate food, water and clean clothes.

The administration’s move to terminate the Flores agreement was long anticipated. In a court motion filed Thursday, the justice department argued that the Flores agreement should be “completely” terminated, claiming it has incentivized unauthorized border crossings and “prevented the federal government from effectively detaining and removing families”.

Donald Trump also tried to end these protections during his first term, making very similar arguments.

The move to end protections follows a slew of actions by the Trump administration that target children, including restarting the practice of locking up children along with their parents in family detention.

Immigration advocacy groups have alleged in a class-action lawsuit filed earlier this month that unaccompanied children are languishing in government facilities after the administration unveiled policies making it exceedingly difficult for family members in the US to take custody of them.

The president and lawmakers have also sought to cut off unaccompanied children’s access to legal services and make it harder for families in detention to seek legal aid.

“Eviscerating the rudimentary protections that these children have is unconscionable,” said Mishan Wroe, senior attorney at the National Center for Youth Law.

“At this very moment, babies and toddlers are being detained in family detention, and children all over the country are being detained and separated from their families unnecessarily.”

The effort to suspend the Flores agreement “bears the Trump administration’s hallmark disregard for the rule of law – and for the wellbeing of toddlers who have done no wrong”, said Faisal al-Juburi of the Texas-based legal non-profit Raices.

“This administration would rather enrich private prison contractors with the $45bn earmarked for immigrant detention facilities in the House’s depraved spending bill than to uphold basic humanitarian protections for babies.”………

This is how they treated the wife of an active duty member of the Armed Forces. Her story is horrible, but I’m afraid it’s not uncommon.

A Georgia police officer resigned from his job on Friday after erroneously pulling over a teenager, causing her to spend more than two weeks in a federal immigration jail, and leaving her facing deportation.

The officer, Leslie O’Neal, was employed at the police department in Dalton, a small city more than an hour north of Atlanta.

His arrest of college student Ximena Arias-Cristobal not only led to a domino effect that could lead to her deportation – it also engendered anger and criticism, especially given the circumstances of her immigration-related detention.


Though Dalton’s municipal government did not provide any information about why O’Neal resigned, his wife posted his resignation letter on Facebook, which said he believed the local police department did not adequately defend him.

“The department’s silence in the face of widespread defamation has not only made my position personally untenable but has also created an environment where I can no longer effectively carry out my duties within the city of Dalton without fear of further backlash from the community,” O’Neal wrote in the letter.

On 5 May, O’Neal pulled Arias-Cristobal over in Dalton. The officer accused her of improperly making a false turn – but those charges were later dropped after the police force admitted to mistaking her car for another.

The damage, though, was done by the time Arias-Cristobal’s charges were dismissed. The 19-year-old – who is undocumented and was driving with a Mexican license – was brought to the US from Mexico in 2007, when she was just four.

The timing of her having been taken to the US barely missed the deadline for her to qualify for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca), a program initiated during Barack Obama’s presidency that provided children in her situation some protections from deportation.

After O’Neal arrested her, local authorities contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), the federal agency that detains and deports immigrants. Ice agents then transferred her to an immigration jail in the state.

“I cannot go to jail,” Arias-Cristobal said during the arrest, according to dash-cam footage. “I have my finals next week. My family depends on this.”

Arias-Cristobal’s plight captured national attention, with many supporting her and calling for her release. Others – including the far-right Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene – agitated for Arias-Cristobal to be deported.

“In Mexico, today, there’s over 1.6 million United States of America citizens, living and thriving in Mexico, and I’m sure she and her family will be able to do the same,” Greene said during an interview with Tennessee’s Local 3 News. “But it’s important for our nation, for our sovereignty, for us to uphold the law. And this is what we have to do.”………

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Nicolle Saroukos of Sydney, Australia, was looking forward last Sunday to a three-week vacation in Honolulu with her mom.

“That’s where my mother and father had their honeymoon, so it held a very like sentimental place in her heart,” Saroukos, 25, said.

It was Saroukos’ third visit to see her husband, Matt, a U.S. Army lieutenant stationed on Oahu. The newlyweds married last December.

She said she hadn’t had issues before, but this time U.S. border officials at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport flagged her for additional screening.

The official checking their passports “went from completely composed to just yelling at the top of his lungs, telling my mother to go stand at the back of the line and to excuse my language, ‘shut up,’” Saroukos recalled.

“So I automatically started crying because that was my first response,” she said.

Saroukos said they were then taken to a holding room, their bags and phones were searched, and they were asked a slew of questions — everything from her work as a former police officer to whether her tattoos were gang-related to her marriage to an American.

“When I did say that I was married to somebody in the U.S. Army, the officers laughed at me. They thought it was quite comical. I don’t know whether they thought I was telling the truth or not,” she said.

“They kept telling me that I had too many clothes in my suitcase. So because of that, they assumed that I was going to overstay my visa,” she said.

Saroukos was subject to more screening. Her fingerprints and a DNA swab of her mouth were taken.

Meanwhile, her mother was free to go.

Saroukos said her heart sank when officials told her she would be declined entry to the U.S. and deported back to Australia the next day.……

This is absolutely evil. A man who came here years ago, legally, married a citizen, has been going for his naturalization and was one step away from becoming a citizen, was taken out of an immigration meeting in shackles around his waist and feet and whisked over state lines to LA without warning.

His last official communication from immigration said his case had nothing missing and they had scheduled his final interview before naturalization. Then they just grabbed him at his scheduled meeting and have threatened to deport him.

His wife is pregnant with their fifth child, he is a skilled welder, no arrests-nothing. He missed filling out one arcane form back in 2019. Nobody ever informed him of the miss, and it was during the time his wife suffered a miscarriage and they were understandably distracted. The case worker was distraught - he told him had this been six months ago they could have fixed the paperwork issue quickly, but now, they have to deport him.

I would love to see someone defend this. This is what evil looks like.

This case is raising a lot of tempers in Denmark. Not only due to the treatment but also because the Danish embassy was not notified about his detention which was required by a diplomatic agreement between the US and Denmark, but also because they have so far been denied access to visit and ensure his safety.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Two federal committees will be conducting an investigation into Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell for allegedly “aiding and abetting” illegal immigration, Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles announced on Monday.

The Congressman, along with a gaggle of Tennessee elected officials at the state level and representatives from law enforcement agencies, announced the Homeland Security and Judiciary committees will look into the mayor, his conduct and whether or not the city used federal dollars “in criminal enterprise” related to immigration.

“I will not back down. I will not relent. I will always stand with law enforcement,” Ogles said during a Memorial Day press conference inside the state capitol building. “I want my community, and I want my country back.”

The investigation stems an ongoing escalation between community members and federal immigration authorities. Ogles called for an investigation into the mayor’s office after O’Connell criticized a “joint safety operation” conducted by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials and troopers with the Tennessee Highway Patrol at the beginning of May.

The operation ended with 196 people arrested, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that also claimed the Nashville mayor “stands by pro-illegal policies.”

O’Connell’s criticism involved how members of the Metro Nashville Police Department have “been delivering safety to this community by reducing crime multiple years in a row,” and pointing out federal officials have “shown us no proof” that those arrested in the early May operation were people “with criminal histories or criminal intent.”.............

And people still wonder why individuals are being detained and deported over minor paperwork errors when they show up for official immigration hearings? When ICE officers are threatened with losing their jobs unless they hit arrest quotas, of course they’ll go after the low-hanging fruit. It’s not about justice — it’s about numbers.

Of all of Trump's "advisors", that guy pushes his worst instincts into realized, full-blown horrific catastrophes. All of the worst Nazi ideas, from family separation to sending people to gulags in foreign countries, to making ICE officers into face covered gestapo, come from that guys mind. Hate truly resides in his core.

thats roughly 2700/day

They’re already way behind due to averaging such a low number for the first 100+ days. They won’t make it. Unless they start deporting legal residents.

They’ve exaggerated the number of undocumented immigrants for such a long time to scare their voters and now that’s going to come back and bite them in the butt.

They will run out of low hanging fruit soon.

Miller is unhinged.

Federal immigration agents arrested a high school student from Venezuela last week as he pursued his asylum case before a New York City judge, the latest sign of the Trump administration’s increasing strategy of apprehending migrants at courthouses and routine immigration appointments.

The 20-year-old, whose family only gave his name as Dylan, entered the U.S. under a Biden-era humanitarian parole program in 2024, his family told local media, allowing him to remain in the country legally while seeking asylum.

The Venezuelan, who attends Ellis Prep Academy, a public school serving older students learning English, appeared at a Manhattan immigration courthouse as part of the asylum process.


Thinking it would be a routine check-in, he was not accompanied by a lawyer.

In the courthouse, according to Dylan’s family and lawyers, government attorneys asked for his case to be dismissed and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents soon arrested him in the lobby, putting the Venezuelan on a path for a fast-track deportation without further hearings.…..
