    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.

            Ah yes, the people who voted for this aren’t some of those at fault, only the people with a title are responsible… what a shit take away.

      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.

        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.

        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.

          Harris failed not because of her policies, but because she never was willing to sincerely differentiate herself from a Democratic party who continued to put themselves and their donors ahead of the average citizen.

          Trump blew up the Republican party and it was a breathe of fresh air for a Washington full of their own self interest.

          Its faaaaaar less about policies. It about an actual vision and authenticity. For as shitty as it is, Trump has this and Harris didn’t. This is leverage.

          Edit: I wholly agree with the white supremecy undercurrent. But this isn’t new.

    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.

    My only joy in these times of the orange shit stain, is these magats getting pounded.

    It might be petty and small of me, but I don’t give a shit.

    You vote for Trump once… I can kind of excuse it as stupid… You vote for him twice and you’re just an evil fucker and I have zero sympathy left.

          I think the only malicious people are the once that knew exactly what would happen and saw a benefit to them or how they can abuse it for themselves. The people believing their bad situation is caused by x group of people are just stupid. They cannot comprehend the complexity of their own problems, therefore the easy awnser of, other people bad, is what they gravitate towards. And sometimes they are so lazy to think that they just follow whatever the neighbors or other people around them say, to be part of the group…

    Gardner is seven months pregnant, but remains hopeful that her husband will be with her when she gives birth.

    “My heart is broken,” Gardner told the outlet. “Our baby shower is going to be next weekend, and he’s not going to be at home to go to that with me.”

    He’s missing the baby shower?? You should tell ICE, maybe they’ll release him.
