Will “mass deportation” actually happen (3 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?

More blatant violations of court orders.

Vice President JD Vance was confronted at a Turning Point USA event Wednesday night as he called for a slowdown in legal immigration.

Speaking to students at the University of Mississippi on immigration, Vance said, “We have to get the overall numbers way, way down.”

While Vance didn’t provide an exact number of legal immigrants he thinks should be admitted into the U.S., he said it’s “far less than what we’ve been accepting.”………

More blatant violations of court orders.

I think you posted the article about how mass deportation is a human rights violation and that much more often than leads to murder than actual deportation.

I'll be surprised if we don't eventually find out that most of these "missing" people have been murdered and incinerated. I would have said cremated, but cremation implies consent and respect for the deceased.

 

[LA 2 L.A.]

I wish the reporting would change from "ICE gents" to the more accurate "federal agents." There are a lot of agencies involved in this and we shouldn't let any of them off the hook by giving the innacurate perception that only ICE agents are doing this. Based on recent reports, these type of kidnapping raids are mostly being carried out by Custom and Border Protection (CBP) agents.

 

[LA 2 L.A.]

That would be so depraved and deplorable that I cling to the hope that it's not true.

The historic shifts in US immigration under Donald Trump have been dictated by a relentless voice over a telephone line: Stephen Miller, the president’s immigration czar, who in recent months has turned the state department’s visa and refugee operations into what some current and former diplomats have described as a personal fiefdom.

Each morning, usually at 10am, a small circle of conservative diplomats allied with Miller, including those who have assumed control of the state department’s consular and refugee operations, dial in for what some have termed the “Stephen Miller call”, an interagency discussion of immigration measures led by Miller, the White House’s homeland security adviser.

In the calls, Miller is said to drill the diplomats on visa and immigration issues – pressing officials to hasten negotiations with third countries to accept deportees who can not or should not be sent back to their countries of origin, and lobbying for individual visa revocations for critics of Israel’s war in Gaza or of Charlie Kirk, the conservative pundit who was assassinated in September.

Miller’s influence, said one former senior official briefed on the calls, was part of a broader strategy under the Trump administration of “installing trusted people in the key positions, and turning [the state department] into an anti-immigration machine”.……….

Because they don’t want any legal immigration at all, unless you are white and from South Africa. All this bull shirt that people swallowed about “they just don’t want people to come here illegally” was just that - complete bull shirt. They don’t want anybody to come here, but specifically they don’t want brown or black people to come here.

Trump says ICE raids ‘haven’t gone far enough’ when confronted about brutal tactics

The president was confronted about ICE agents’ tactics, which include ramming cars in pursuit of suspects, sledgehammering windows, and getting heavy-handed with protesters

Mass deportation is a crime against humanity and destroys everyone’s rights. And the fact that Trump thinks they haven’t gone far enough should be a sobering wake up call to those who say and do nothing to oppose these acts of brutality. I’m specifically thinking of 2 members here who tacitly support it.

inappropiate for a student but the forking principal????
=====================================

A middle school principal in Maine dressed up as an ICE agent for Halloween has sparked a fight as members of the community express outrage.

At the same time, the Trump administration’s Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs of Homeland Security, Tricia McLaughlin, has described the anger as “insane”.

An image of James Black, principal of Mt. Blue Middle School in the Farmington community, began circulating online on Halloween. The educator is wearing a cap with ICE written across it, an American flag-style gaiter, and a vest that reads “Police ICE.”

Advocacy and mutual aid organisation Project Relief Maine shared the photo on its Facebook page, encouraging community members to contact the superintendent’s office to express their concerns and take action. Some people in the comments call for Black to resign.

“For immigrant students who already live in fear of ICE, this isn’t funny. It’s terrifying. Deportation isn’t a costume. It’s not a joke. It’s trauma ... imagine being a child walking into class and seeing your principal treat your family’s pain like entertainment,” the post stated.

“Millions of immigrants live with fear every single day in this country. They shouldn’t have to face that fear in their own schools too.”

In a statement to The Independent, McLaughlin said the public anger was out of proportion.

"This is insane. Since when is it controversial to dress up as a law enforcement officer for Halloween? Calls for this principal's firing because he dressed up as a law enforcement officer for Halloween reveal the true derangement of those who oppose ICE law enforcement,” she said.

"To most Americans our brave ICE law enforcement are heroes. These officers put their lives on the line every day to arrest the worst of the worst including murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists. They should be celebrated and revered.

“I know the media might find it hard to believe but many people admire our law enforcement--its why ICE received more than 175,000 applications from patriotic Americans who want to help make America safe again."...............

After serving 43 years for a friend’s murder he did not commit, Subramanyam Vedam was set to walk free from a Pennsylvania prison this month.

Vedam and Thomas Kinser were 19-year-old students at Penn State University in 1980 when Vedam asked him for a ride to buy drugs, becoming the last person to see Kinser alive……..

In August, a judge threw out the conviction after Vedam's lawyers found new ballistics evidence that prosecutors had never disclosed.

As his sister prepared to bring him home on Oct. 3, the thin, white-haired Vedam was instead taken into federal custody over a 1999 deportation order. The 64-year-old, who legally came to the U.S. from India when he was 9 months old, now faces another daunting legal fight…..

Vedam was detained on drug charges while police investigated, and was ultimately charged with murder. He was convicted in 1983 and sentenced to life without parole. To resolve the drug case, he pleaded no contest to four counts of selling LSD and a theft charge. The 1988 retrial offered no reprieve from his situation.

Although the defense long questioned the ballistics evidence in the case, the jury, which heard that Vedam had bought a .25-caliber gun from someone, never heard that an FBI report suggested the bullet wound was too small to have been fired from that gun. Balachandran only found that report as he dug into the case in 2023.

After hearings on the issue, a Center County judge threw out the conviction and the district attorney decided this month not to retry the case.

Amid the Trump administration's focus on mass deportation, Vedam's lawyers must persuade an immigration court that a 1980s drug conviction should be outweighed by the years he wrongly spent in prison.

For a time, immigration law allowed people who had reformed their lives to seek such waivers. Vedam never pursued it then because of the murder conviction.

"He was someone who's suffered a profound injustice," said immigration lawyer Ava Benach. "(And) those 43 years aren't a blank slate. He lived a remarkable experience in prison."

Vedam earned several degrees behind bars, tutored hundreds of fellow inmates and went nearly half a century with just a single infraction, involving rice brought in from the outside.

His lawyers hope immigration judges will consider the totality of his case. The administration, in a brief filed Friday, opposes the effort. So Vedam remains at a 1,800-bed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in central Pennsylvania.

"Criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S.," a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said in an email about the case.

The Vedams were among the first Indian families in the area known as "Happy Valley," where his father had come as a postdoctoral fellow in 1956. An older daughter was born in State College, but "Subu," as he was known, was born when the family was back in India in 1961.

They returned to State College for good before his first birthday and became the family that welcomed new members of the Indian diaspora to town.……….

Well, I mean, he certainly looks the part of a jack booted thug. Fork ICE and fork everyone who supports them.
