    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?

     
    The problem would be significantly reduced if no one hired illegal immigrants or if employers who exploit them faced severe penalties. The reality, however, is that many employers actively seek out undocumented workers precisely because they have no rights.

    These workers won’t complain about unpaid wages or deductions for "accommodations" in overcrowded, miserable living conditions. They won’t protest against being overworked or placed in dangerous working environments. And if they do, employers can easily silence them by threatening to report them to the authorities.
    Oh, that reminds me. If a birth certificate is no longer enough, how do you properly fill out an I-9?
     

    Is it safe to speculate that the reasoning behind their decision is because of the belief these individuals shouldn't be afforded these services due to their immigration status?

    To steal a favorite phrase from the radical right, "that's a slippery slope". What other services, or protections will they deny?
     
    Oh wait this is weird - you’re telling me that a deportation raid detained citizens including military veterans? I thought they knew who the criminals were.

    Shocked

    Man we are going to hear this so often anyone with non-white skin is going to be fair game. cause you know these idiots can't tell American accents and id's.

    If only someone could have foreseen this happening - oh, wait, everyone, freaking everyone, said this would happen. I’m betting this is a feature not a bug.

    Thinking that Indigenous people are not citizens is the ultimate irony. They are the original inhabitants of these lands, with histories, cultures, and communities that predate modern borders and governments by thousands of years.

    In contrast, almost everyone else is an immigrant or descended from immigrants when viewed through the lens of history. To question the citizenship or rights of Indigenous peoples is not only ironic but also deeply unjust, given the enduring impact of colonization and displacement they have already endured.

    It serves as a reminder to acknowledge and respect the unique status of Indigenous peoples as the first stewards of the land and to address the inequalities they continue to face.
     
    The mayor of Newark, New Jersey, said an immigration raid in the city was done without a warrant, and led to the detainment of undocumented residents as well as citizens.

    Ras Baraka said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) had raided a local establishment. “Newark will not stand by idly while people are being unlawfully terrorized,” he wrote in a statement.

    The mayor’s announcement came as major cities across the US braced for Ice raids, as promised by Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, who has said the federal government will uphold Trump’s promise of “mass deportations”. Homan has signaled that so-called sanctuary cities – localities that have refused to hand over immigrants to federal authorities – would be early targets for raids.


    Ice announced it has made a total of 538 arrests in a Thursday update. The agency did not immediately respond to the Guardian’s query about when and where in the US the arrests were made.…….

    DENVER (KDVR) — Concerns over possible Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in metro Denver schools are growing, now that President Donald Trump has signed executive orders cracking down on immigration.

    Denver Public Schools has told its staff, “do not allow entry into the building” if ICE agents show up on campus.

    “Place the school on secure perimeter” and use an “intercom to communicate” with the government official, the memo from the DPS superintendent said.

    Flor Canales is part of a group called Movimiento Poder, which is trying to address a growing concern among some children in schools.

    “They’re asking, ‘Can ICE come to our school? What happens if, you know, one of my parents is detained by ICE? What happens if I’m detained by ICE?'” Canales said.

    Aurora Public Schools told its staff in a memo to “politely inform federal agents the district has a process regarding requests to talk with students.”

    The district wrote, “There’s no indication there will be immigration action in APS schools.”

    John Fabbricatore, a former ICE field office director and Heritage Foundation traveling fellow, said ICE has never targeted children in schools.

    “ICE agents have targeted cases that they’re going to be going after right now. We’re talking about criminal illegal aliens. We’re talking about final order cases. ICE has no reason or want to go into an elementary school, junior high or high school,” Fabbricatore said.

    The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that agents will now be allowed to go into “sensitive areas,” which includes schools. Fabbricatore said ICE will go after criminals where they may be hiding.................

     
    This seems like a fantastic idea, what could possibly go wrong?
    =====================================

    Two days after President Donald Trump took office and began his immigration crackdown, a Mississippi state representative introduced legislation to create a “bounty hunter program” to identify people who are in the country illegally.

    The bill, introduced by state Rep. Justin Keen (R), would give $1,000 in state funds to bounty hunters for every person they help to deport, according to a press release from DeSoto County District Attorney Matthew Barton (R), who says he suggested the idea.

    “Donald Trump, as he was leading up to his inauguration after his November victory, spent a lot of time speaking about his priority agenda, and immigration was top of the list, and so the idea came about from just trying, I guess, to provide support for that agenda on a local and state level because ICE only has so many people,” Barton said in an interview, referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

    It’s unclear whether the legislation has a chance of passing, but its introduction illustrates how Trump’s hard-line immigration policies at the federal level have influenced policy proposals in states and localities — and the eagerness of some Republican state and local leaders to help the president deport huge numbers of people. Advocates warn that such bills will terrorize and racially profile immigrant communities............

    Mississippi is not the only state with proposed legislation to create a “bounty hunter” program. In Missouri, state Sen. David Gregory (R) introduced legislation late last year to create a “Missouri Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunter Program,” which would provide a $1,000 reward to individuals for each report that leads to an arrest. The Mississippi bill has similar legislative language, stating that if an undocumented immigrant “is arrested and imprisoned,” the person who made the report is eligible for a $1,000 reward.

    Under the legislation, the Mississippi Department of Public Safety would have criteria for individuals to apply to become “bounty hunters.” Those individuals would already be affiliated with law enforcement, according to Barton, and are defined in the legislation as licensed as a “bail bond agent, general bail bond agent or surety recovery agent.”

    Funding for the “Mississippi Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunter Program Fund” would come from the Mississippi General Assembly.

    The legislation also directs the Department of Public Safety to “maintain an information system that operates at all times” and includes a hotline, email address and online reporting portal.

    The nascent bill is already receiving pushback from civil rights organizations that warn it could lead to racial profiling and heightened fear among immigrant communities..........

    They may as well introduce additional legislation to name the detention center “Candyland”.
