Will “mass deportation” actually happen (1 Viewer)

[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?

Well, since he is an immunologist we don’t need him here. RFK, Jr. Will handle any disease by bleating about eating a bunch of vitamins or some other bullschlitz to cure any disease.

In his three months locked up at Stewart detention center in Lumpkin, Georgia, Rodney Taylor has missed meals and showers, lived with increasing pain in his hips, developed a swollen thumb on his right hand and blisters on the stumps where his two legs were amputated when he was a toddler.

Taylor’s mother brought him to the US from Liberia on a medical visa as a small child. He went through 16 operations and is a double amputee. He has two fingers on his right hand.

Now 46, he has lived in the US nearly his entire life, works as a barber, is active in promoting cancer awareness in his community, and recently got engaged.

Nonetheless, his immigration status is unresolved, and despite having an application for residence pending – commonly known as a “green card” – on 15 January, Ice agents arrived at his Loganville, Georgia home and took him to Stewart.

The reason, according to his attorney, who shared paperwork from his case with the Guardian: a burglary conviction he received as a teenager and which the state of Georgia pardoned him for in 2010.

His case is one of an untold number of people with disabilities and other serious health issues who are being swept up in the current administration’s “mass deportation” efforts.

These efforts are carried out in extreme overcrowding at the hundred-plus detention centers like Stewart across the nation.

They also happen without the benefit of two federal offices that formerly provided oversight for healthcare and other issues, and now a situation is unfolding where detainees with disabilities like Taylor are increasingly at risk of life-altering outcomes and even death, experts say.

“It’s the perfect storm for abuses to occur – including negligence,” said Joseph Nwadiuko, a professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania who researches the immigration detention system.

“Deaths are much more likely … [and] we haven’t thought about the healthcare implications of what’s developing,” he said……

The cruelty is the point. I don't know how people the support this administration or work with ICE and can look in the mirror each day and live with themselves knowing all of the heinous things they're doing.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — President Donald Trump has pardoned a Nevada Republican politician who was awaiting sentencing on federal charges that she used money meant for a statue honoring a slain police officer for personal costs, including plastic surgery.

Michele Fiore, a former Las Vegas city councilwoman and state lawmaker who ran unsuccessfully in 2022 for state treasurer, was found guilty in October of six counts of federal wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She was out of custody ahead of her sentencing, which had been scheduled for next month.

@RobF posted the entire transcript on "Misc Trump" thread-

i remarked how "they" is used throughout the entire interview in response to direct questions where conflict may lie. THEY- never him- always others.

Despite all of that. Exactly nothing will happen to the FBI.

Also, MAGAts are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. When they do illegal sheet, it's either the other side did it too, or that can do it and get away with it but when the other side does it, they scream bloody murder. Piss on 'em all.

Matt Gaetz visited the El Salvador mega-prison last summer and pitched the idea of sending migrants there to Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, according to a report.

Trump’s failed nominee to lead the Justice Department was invited on a diplomatic visit by El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele in July 2024, TIME reports.

Bukele made Gaetz an offer during a dinner that he would be willing to imprison migrants that Trump wanted removed from the U.S. inside El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center, known as CECOT, according to the outlet. The next day, Gaetz was given a tour of the facility, which human rights groups have described as a “tropical gulag” rife with abuses.

“The conditions had zapped the inhabitants of any will to fight,” Gaetz told TIME. “It’s tough to see the state of the human condition drained of hope.”

Gaetz then pitched the idea of sending migrants to the mega-prison to immigration hardliner Miller, a source told the outlet, who then presented it to Trump……..

A woman from Guatemala says she and her two US-born children say they were held for almost a week by customs agents in Detroit after her phone mistakenly directed them to an international bridge to Canada, instead of the nearest Costco.

Ruby Robinson, senior managing attorney with the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center, says the woman now faces removal proceedings in June in immigration court.

On Thursday, Robinson, US Representative Rashida Tlaib and the ACLU of Michigan demanded more accountability and transparency by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on detentions along the nation's northern border with Canada.

“Our neighbors and families should not be disappearing because they made a wrong turn,” Tlaib said.

Though the northern border sees far fewer encounters with migrants than the U.S.-Mexico border, the woman's case is not uncommon, according to Tlaib.

The Michigan Democrat said she was told on March 21 by CBP that about 213 people had been detained at the same location since January, with more than 90 percent mistakenly driving onto the bridge’s toll plaza. Tlaib also said she was told 12 families had been detained in the same building where Robinson’s client was held.

“We don’t know what exactly is happening. There’s a lack of transparency,” she said, adding that similar detentions likely are occurring elsewhere along the 5,525-mile northern border.……

Can you imagine if Biden had said something like this? The hypocrisy is blindingly obvious.

 

[MT15]

This shouldn’t be viewed as Trump backing down. There are indications that they are just trying to figure out how to do it without being sued and getting hit with stays from judges. Just like when they revoked the visas, they are reinstating them without informing the people that their visas have been restored.
