Will “mass deportation” actually happen (6 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?

A Danish green card holder and father of four was denied bail after being detained by ICE during what was supposed to be his final citizenship interview in Tennessee.

Kasper Eriksen, 32, came to the U.S. in 2009 as a student and later married his high school sweetheart, Savannah, with whom he settled in rural Mississippi, according to the Daily Beast.

After receiving his green card in 2013, he began the naturalization process, but unknowingly missed a key immigration filing deadline in 2015—around the same time the couple suffered the stillbirth of their first child.

On April 15, 2025, Eriksen was detained in Memphis, Tennessee, without warning by ICE agents during his scheduled naturalization interview. He was later transferred to the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center in Jena.

"Kasper was detained for a paperwork miscommunication from 2015, and I was sent home with no explanation and no idea where my husband had been transported," Kasper's wife said. "I was 22 weeks pregnant at the time, and as I drove the 3-hour journey back to Sturgis, Mississippi, to say I couldn't control my emotions would be an understatement."

ICE claims his failure to submit Form I-751 to remove conditions on his green card a decade ago voided his path to citizenship. At a court hearing on May 28, an immigration judge agreed to reopen Eriksen's case but denied him bond, meaning he must remain in detention.

Meanwhile, his wife, currently pregnant with their fifth child, has been raising awareness and funds through a GoFundMe campaign. Kasper has been a vocal Trump supporter on social media, often pushing debunked election fraud theories and calling to impeach Joe Biden.

No timeline has been set for Eriksen's next court appearance, leaving his future uncertain................

Ending the legal status of hundreds of thousands of immigrants will have far-reaching effects on the economy. Some states will be hit harder than others but nobody will escape unscathed.

Ending Parole for 500,000 Migrants Creates New Headaches for Employers — The Wall Street Journal

Supreme Court clears path for Trump administration to start revoking affected migrants’ work authorization

apple.news

“The Supreme Court’s decision allowing the Trump administration to revoke temporary protections for half a million migrants brings the U.S. economy closer to labor shortages in industries and regions that rely on foreign workers.

The impact will take time to unfold, but could be far-reaching. The potential departure of hundreds of thousands of people from the labor force is creating anxiety for employers and adding a fresh dose of uncertainty for an economy already grappling with the administration’s tariff policies.

Friday’s ruling halts a lower-court injunction that stopped the government from removing temporary parole from migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. It follows a May 19 ruling allowing the Trump administration to strip protections for about 350,000 Venezuelans living in the U.S. under a different program called Temporary Legal Status.

No data exists to show where the migrants affected by Friday’s ruling live and work. But Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, Haitians and Cubans are heavily concentrated in South Florida, according to Census Bureau data gathered in 2023. Immigrants from those countries make up an outsize share of employment, relative to their population, in industries such as taxis and ride-shares, hotels, janitorial services, home health services and trucking.”

Stephen Miller is trying to purge the US of all immigrants. The man whose great grandfather immigrated here in 1903 wants to prevent anybody else from ever coming here. He is also trying to do so in the cruelest way possible, using secret police to ambush people who are attending their mandated immigration meetings. Even snatching a man who was in his final naturalization interview.

These are not criminals - those folks are largely escaping notice. Miller is concentrating on people who are trying to navigate our immigration system by following the rules.

“Friday’s decision also gives the Trump administration a legal window to arrest and deport newly unprotected migrants. Their names and addresses are already known to the government, potentially making them easier to target than migrants with no documentation at all.”

ICE immigrant detention center detainees have been left without access to basic necessities after a third-party service software outage, according to a new report.

Access Corrections is one of several private vendors used by ICE. The company provides payment processing systems and communications to ICE's detention facilities, and its software allows detainees to buy commissary items like food, hygiene supplies, and medicine.

But things have gone from bad to worse for the individuals ICE has whisked off the street to face an uncertain fate; Access Corrections' services have apparently been a problem for some time, according to SFGATE.


One man who was detained at ICE's Desert View Annex in the Mojave Desert told the outlet that he was kept imprisoned for 50 days, and during that time had to rely on the kindness of other detainees for basic items after his his wife's numerous attempts at sending him money were stifled by software problems.

In Maine, a nonprofit group called Mainers for Humane Immigration said they tried to deposit money for detainees, but were also thwarted by computer issues.

“We called to ask if we could go to CCJ [Cumberland County Jail] and deposit money through the kiosk, nope, that’s down too," the group wrote in a Facebook post. "I asked about money orders, and they said all commissary is tied to Access Corrections, which means no one inside can access any funds at all right now.”

The man who had to rely on other detainees' generosity told SFGATE that he lost nearly 30 pounds while he was in captivity, not just because he didn't have access to money, but also because the food, as he put it, was "inedible."

“The food provided by the detention center was inedible,” he told the publication. “The only thing I could manage to eat was instant noodles, which you can only buy from the commissary.”

Since Access Corrections is a company and not a public entity, it exists to make a profit, and it does so in part by charging fees to families and others who want to send money to the detainees. For example, at the Imperial Regional Detention Facility in Calexico, SFGATE learned that to deposit $25 for a detainee, it costs the sender $9.95 — essentially a 40 percent surcharge for a reportedly spotty service.

To send the maximum deposit of $300 would cost the sender a $13.95 surcharge. The charges are lower for smaller transactions, like just under $7 for a $20 transfer, but that means that families who can't afford to dump hundreds of dollars at a time into the system are charged at a higher rate than those with the means to do so.…….

After three months in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, a Filipino green-card holder who had been arrested at Seattle-Tacoma Airport has finally gone home.

Lewelyn Dixon, a 64-year-old University of Washington lab technician, was released on Thursday from the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma, Washington, after a judge ruled that she does not qualify for deportation.

Dixon, who’s had legal permanent status in the U.S. for 50 years, had been in ICE custody since late February, when she was detained after coming back from a visit to the Philippines.

Outside the detention facility, Dixon thanked a crowd of supporters and spoke about her experience and the conditions in the facility.

“It was horrific; it was awful, it is crowded -- super crowded, they release maybe nine, bring back seven, release one, they bring three,” she said, according to local NBC affiliate King5.

Dixon’s niece Lani Madriaga told NBC News that in the hours since her release, she’s been spending time with loved ones.

“Last night, we had dinner together as a family and just chatted,” Madriaga said on Friday. “She’s just getting readjusted.”

Benjamin Osorio, Dixon’s attorney, previously told NBC News that a decades-old embezzlement conviction likely caught the attention of U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the airport, triggering her detention.

Dixon had been a vault teller and operations supervisor at Washington Mutual Bank at the time and “removed cash from the vault on eight separate occasions” without the bank’s authorization, according to her plea agreement. She removed a total of $6,460.

While Dixon pleaded guilty to the nonviolent offense in 2000, she was ordered to pay restitution and spend 30 days in a halfway house, court documents show. By 2019, she completed her payments.

Dixon has been in the U.S. since she was a teenager and has long been eligible for citizenship, but she promised her father that she would maintain her Filipino nationality so that she could retain property in her native country. However, Osorio said, Dixon likely did not understand the risk involved with staying on a green card..............

President Donald Trump is planning on resettling “thousands” of white South Africans in the U.S., a State Department official has revealed in a new report.

Earlier this month, Trump granted a group of 59 white South Africans entry to the United States as “refugees.” Afterwards, Trump was accused of ambushing South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with claims of a “white genocide” by flashing articles and videos of alleged violence against white farmers in the country.

Several pieces of evidence that Trump provided were found to be misleading, incorrect, or entirely unrelated to his claims.

Now, a government official has told that the number of white Afrikaner refugees is expected to surge “towards the second half of summer.”

“We won’t be talking about dozens of arrivals, but hundreds and perhaps thousands,” the official told the outlet.……

Prosecutors in Milwaukee have charged a man with four felonies for attempting to frame an undocumented immigrant he is accused of assaulting, by sending forged letters in the immigrant’s name with a threat to kill Donald Trump.

The handwritten, forged letters were mailed to Wisconsin’s attorney general, Milwaukee police and US Immigration & Customs Enforcement (Ice).

The story received a flood of media attention and was highlighted by the White House and Trump’s allies, but appears to have been a hoax.

WISN-TV, an ABC affiliate in Milwaukee, reported on Monday that a criminal complaint alleges Demetric Scott admitted to investigators he wrote the letters threatening to kill the president in the name of Ramon Morales-Reyes, whom he was previously charged with assaulting.

Among those who fell for the hoax were Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, who released a statementpraising immigration officers for arresting Morales-Reyes on 22 May, one day after the forged letter was received by an Ice field intelligence officer.

“Thanks to our ICE officers, this illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars,” Noem said in a press release. Her department also released to news agencies an image of the handwritten note in light blue ink, expressing anger over Trump’s deportations and threatening to shoot him in the head with a rifle at a rally. Noem also shared the letter on X along with a photo of Morales-Reyes, and the White House also shared it on its social media accounts.

“We are tired of this president messing with us Mexicans – we have done more for this country than you white people – you have been deporting my family and I think it is time Donald J. Trump get what he has coming to him,” the letter said. “I will self deport myself back to Mexico but not before I use my 30 yard 6 to shoot your precious president in the head – I will see him at one of his big ralleys.”

But the claim soon began to unravel.

Last week, one of Morales-Reyes’ children told an immigrant rights group that he could not have written the letters since he cannot read or write in Spanish, let alone English.

As part of the investigation, officials asked Morales-Reyes for a handwriting sample and concluded his handwriting and the threatening letter didn’t match and that the threat was not credible, a source familiar with the investigation told the Associated Press.

Scott is currently in Milwaukee county jail, charged with armed robbery and aggravated battery. Prosecutors said Morales-Reyes is the victim in that case; he was allegedly assaulted in September 2023 with a box cutter during an attempted theft of his bike. As the case prepared to go to trial, Ice this month received the letter threatening to assassinate Trump.

According to a transcript of a phone callprosecutors say Scott made while awaiting trial for assaulting Morales-Reyes, Scott framed Morales-Reyes to keep him from testifying against him.

“If he gets picked up by Ice,” Scott allegedly said in the call, “there won’t be a jury trial, so they will probably dismiss it that day. That’s my plan.”……

I cannot stand the way ICE dresses like they are in Fallujah when they are going to arrest mothers and fathers in neighborhoods. America doesn’t have secret police, and in America the armed forces don’t operate in civilian areas. This particular neighborhood called their bluff and they retreated.

Once again, ICE isn’t going after gang members or criminals. They are going after people who are just living and working and contributing to our society. Oh, and an ICE spokesperson told the reporter who contacted them for comment that they should be very careful about running this story. Twice. In an email.

Local community leaders speak in San Diego about the ICE raid on a local restaurant where they grabbed 4 people who were working at the restaurant. They came in vehicles without license plates, dressed in full military gear, no identification, no warrants, they set off flash bangs, they shoved people around. They took a server, a couple dishwashers and maybe a cook. I hope all those cowards feel shame about what they are doing every day.



It’s unclear to me why the video won’t embed. It’s community leaders standing at a microphone.
