Will “mass deportation” actually happen (6 Viewers)

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?

Brandon is correct, unless there are aggravating circumstances tied to it, speeding is an infraction.

Depends on the state

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio city whose Haitian migrants were disparaged by President Donald Trump last year as he pitched voters on his plans for an immigration crackdown is now bracing to defend the community against possible deportation.

A group of about 100 community members, clergy and Haitian leaders in Springfield, Ohio, gathered this week for several days of training sessions as they prepare to defend potential deportees and provide them refuge.

“We feel that this is something that our faith requires, that people of faith are typically law-abiding people — that’s who we want to be — but if there are laws that are unjust, if there are laws that don’t respect human dignity, we feel that our commitment to Christ requires that we put ourselves in places where we may face some of the same threats,” said Carl Ruby, senior pastor of Central Christian Church.

Ruby said the ultimate goal of the group is to persuade the Trump administration to reverse its decision to terminate legal protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitians in the U.S. under temporary protected status, or TPS.

“One way of standing with the Haitians is getting out the message of how much value they bring to the city of Springfield,” he said. “It would be an absolute disaster if we lost 10,000 of our best workers overnight because their TPS ends and they can no longer work.”.........

I don’t know that the distinction is whether it’s civil or criminal but rather whether it is a misdemeanor traffic violation or rises to a felony violation.

According to Sendai’s link of speeding infractions in all states - there are zero felony speeding violations. I am assuming it has to be enhanced to a different violation - like reckless driving - to reach felony status.

There were plenty of states where speeding is a civil matter. I think FL is one of them, it lists speeding as a non-criminal traffic infraction. Other states it was a misdemeanor.

Over half the states (32) consider speeding non-criminal. A few have a sliding scale - meaning you have to be going a certain higher speed or have multiple offenses - before it is considered a misdemeanor.

So we both have learned things.

As the Trump administration bulks up its mass deportation machine, officials have relied on a network of for-profit prison companies that run the overwhelming majority of America’s immigration detention centers.

One of the officials overseeing those contracts at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, part of the government’s Department of Homeland Security, is a former executive from a top private prison firm, GEO Group, which manages 20 detention centers across the country.

According to The Washington Post, Trump’s border czar Tom Homan approached David Venturella for a role in the administration, despite federal ethics rules that largely prohibit government employees from working on contracts with their former employers.

Instead, Venturella was hired by the Department of Homeland Security as a full-time adviser and was granted a waiver from those ethics rules, according to the newspaper. Doing so has kept him out of the public eye and away from potentially contentious Senate confirmation hearings, the newspaper noted

Venturella worked as an assistant director at ICE before he was recruited by GEO Group in 2012. He left the company in 2023 though he stayed on as a paid consultant through January 31, according to company filings reviewed byThe Washington Post
This apparent revolving door has also swung in the other direction.

Days before the 2024 election, a top official at ICE left his position to take a senior role at GEO. Daniel Bible, who worked for ICE for nearly 15 years, is now a senior vice president at the company.

At least six former ICE officials who left government work over the past decade now work in top roles at the company, according to reporting from nonprofit Project on Government Oversight. The group found a “long tradition of ICE officials departing to work for the agency’s top contractor,” part of the so-called “revolving door” between the federal government and the private sector……….

In response to the thread title

Will “mass deportation” actually happen​

They’ll be lucky to a million in four years.

The attitude expressed in the comment above is depraved, immoral and inhumane. This is a reflection of Trump, the Republicans, those who voted for them, and those who make excuses and apologies for them, like in the post quoted above.
