    I understand that they’ve got a job to do, immigration, but I just feel like he was specifically targeted because of what’s going on where he’s from, his home country,

    Isn’t that true for most of the immigrants

      It’s extremely weird to see people fixating - laser like - on the tiny fraction of people who get reported as “Trump supporting” while seemingly ignoring the tens of thousands who were Harris supporters or (far more commonly, since they’re often undocumented or unhoused) completely cut out of the domestic political system.

      As though these massive nationwide ICE raids conducting an ethnic cleanse are somehow the Karma Police and not just ethnic cleanse squads that happen to side-swipe a few conservatives along the way.

        The fixation isn’t in support of ICE but in satisfaction that at least some of those at fault suffer under their own hateful desires. They voted for the leopard to eat faces and are shocked when it eats their face.

    BREAKING NEWS! This Just In!

    “Republicans are shocked at any one at any time being detained indefinitely after intentionally empowering and assembling a large militant force who operates purely extrajudicially without due process. We’ve got Tom live on the scene to ask one of them about this development, Tom?”

    “Tell the camera what you just told me a moment ago, please.”

    “Well I don’t think that’s what due process means, they still go to see an immigration court, don’t they?”

    “No.”

    “Well, they should.”

    “Maybe you should vote for somebody who makes that happen.”

    “Like Donald Trump?”

    “Wrong again.”

      I am in constant awe of how these people are incapable of pointing the finger towards the issue here.

      I am aware that maga is a cult, but we have reached the point where Trump and the Republicans are openly, brazenly committing acts that their own supporters disagree with. How much more obvious does the situation need to become before people start placing the blame where it belongs?

        It won’t be obvious ever to these people, because their reality is only what they and their associates see in FOX News. That they don’t get concerned by what is happening is because they never hear or see what is happening.

    I thought the threat was Iranian nuclear ICBMs, which they don’t have. Looks like the threat is inside the room.

      It amazes me that these articles keep appearing and the Democrats are unable to leverage this into votes. Writing these people as stupid is useless. We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.

        Democrats are unable to leverage this into votes

        Not for lack of trying. Harris made repeated trips down to the boarder to play “Tough On Crime” dress-up for the conservatives. She even did the famous Do Not Come speech, aimed at Guatemalan migrants fleeing their own domestic (US sponsored) ethnic cleansing.

        You’d think folks obsessed with “border security” would love Democrats, given how regularly they advance bills to harden and militarize the border. Unless of course… this isn’t about “security” at all. It is about white supremacy and the consolidation of power within a single ethno-nationalist party.

        In that case, why on earth would white nationalists side with a party full of non-white people? Why do Democrats spend so much time and money and man-hours attempting to court their vote, while spending even more time and money and man-hours alienating the votes of people of color and left-liberal migrant families?

        We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.

        You cannot leverage this into votes. You regularly read “Trump killed my business/sent my spouse to Neverland/whatever, but I will vote for him again!”. Those people can’t be helped.

    this is like burning women at the stake and laughing that some spectators got hit by a hot ember. saying that he deserves it.

    they punishment that they deserve is nothing in comparison to what they get.

    and the pain they are recieving is inconsequential compared to the one they are causing

      Nobody here is glad these things are happening. They tried very hard to stop it and got a collective “fuck you” from the rest of the country. All of them would rather Trump be stripped of his power than have a MAGA deported, but seeing as that’s not going to happen…
