Mass Deportations Or: Let's Get This Party Started

a non-voter, legal greencard-holding Canadian living in the U.S since he was 3 years old and a big supporter of MAGA and trump refused re-entry into the US at the Canadian-US border... he's shocked, I tell ya, shocked! They never see it coming, do they? They seem to think they're protected from trump's hubris because they agree with him on most of the bullshit. Right up till it happens to them.

"I'm a legal resident, green-card holder, I have been since 1981," the Peterborough, New Hampshire, resident told NBC 10 Boston.

Landry, who is currently in New Brunswick, Canada, works in manufacturing and has five children, several of whom he was traveling back to the U.S. with on July 6 when he was stopped by immigration officials in Houlton, Maine.

He told local news outlet WMUR that he was held for about five hours, adding: "I felt like I was being treated like a criminal," calling the experience "really a living nightmare."

Landry has two previous marks on his background, from 2004 and 2007 regarding a marijuana possession charge and driving on a suspended license. He has no criminal record since and says he received a suspended sentence and paid his fines.

"I never thought that would threaten my status as a resident of the United States," he told NBC 10 Boston.

Landry, who legally can't vote because of his Canadian citizenship, said he was supportive of Trump and his platform, telling NBC 10 Boston: "I was definitely all for 'Make America Great Again,' and having a strong, unified country and a bright future for my five American children, but now I feel a little differently. I've been torn from my family. My life has been disregarded completely."
gotta make those quotas, amirite?
 
Mahmoud Khalil sues trump admin $20 million in damages

Attorneys for Mahmoud Khalil filed the claim on Thursday, alleging that Khalil was "falsely imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted, and smeared as an antisemite, while the government sought to deport him over his prominent role in campus protests."

kept locked up for over 3 months, missing the birth of his first child

the sum might sound excessive, but it needs to make a statement if there's to be any hope of deterrence. The damages awarded will be put into helping others in need of similar help to be released and have their names cleared.

Community members and politicians on Wednesday expressed outrage about Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s detainment of a former chaplain at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital who sought asylum after being tortured and detained in Egypt for the reporting he did there as a journalist.

Rep. Munira Abdullahi said Soliman provided a “bridge to different faiths, people who don’t always agree, and he’s been that peace,” according to CityBeat. “Not only does he provide healing at the hospital as a chaplain... he also provides healing in the community as a liaison to different groups.”

“This is a man of the community, and this is who ICE is taking away from us,” she continued. “You don’t have to contribute to society, by the way, to be afforded safety. This is not the democracy that America has promised. He came here seeking peace and safety. He’s a political asylum seeker from Egypt who is facing certain death if he gets returned, so we’re here calling for his release.”

In the years since he arrived in the U.S., Soliman has served as a chaplain at Northwestern University and for the prison system, according to an online biography for the Clifton Mosque, where he also served on the board.

Court records show that Soliman has also filed multiple lawsuits against government entities, including the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center (now known as the Threat Screening Center) after he appeared on a federal watchlist despite not having committed any crimes.

so not a criminal, a genuine asylum seeker doing good work in his community, helping others. Clearly seen as an irritant, though, by the trump goon squad. Way to go, ice. Quotas matter.

Judge pissed that DOJ lawyers still cannot produce the document they were supposed to produce, didn't have it, and were given a further day to 'find'

Re the Ábrego deportation plans once he's released from TN incarceration:

“Why do we not have the detainer today when I asked for it yesterday? The detainer is a really simple thing,” she said. The document she seeks is an ICE detainer for Ábrego, which details where he could be sent to a third-party country if and when ICE deports him a second time.

The DOJ said that they were "working on it," An answer she didn't like.

“What’s to work on? It’s a piece of paper,” she said. “Can someone get an email to someone so I can see the lawful or unlawful basis for detaining him?”

“I can’t presume anything is regular in this irregular case," she added.

She then accused the government of breaking the law based on witness testimony yesterday, Hellgren wrote on X. The prosecutors emphatically disagreed with that.

“I’m not here to answer your questions in this case. You’re here to answer mine,"
she clapped back.
 
Border goon Tom Homan says ICE can detain anyone without probable cause. And he admits that detention is based on appearance (which is code for “white people are not detained”).

“People need to understand, ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] officers and Border Patrol don’t need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them,” he said. “They just go through the observations, get articulable facts, based on their location, their occupation, their physical appearance, their actions.”

Authoritarianism — MAGAs wear it with pride.
 
support for immigration deportation falls across a year... mostly led by republicans

Republicans are the only partisan category “still showing at least plurality support for reducing immigration,” reported Gallup, but the drop in support for reducing immigration was the largest in this group — down a staggering 40 points in just a year, from 88% to 48%.

Independent support
for reducing immigration dropped from 51% to 30%, a 21-point drop, and among Democrats, it fell from 28% to 16%, a 12-point drop.

The UFW can confirm farm workers were critically injured yesterday during chaotic raids in Ventura County, California. Others, including US citizens remain totally unaccounted for.

Our staff is on the ground supporting families. Many workers, including U.S. citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more. U.S. citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones.

The UFW is also aware of reports of child labor on site. The UFW demands the immediate facilitation of independent legal representation for the minor workers, to protect them from further harm. Farm workers are excluded from basic child labor laws and it is unfortunately not uncommon for teenagers to work in the fields. To be clear: detaining and deporting children is not a solution for child labor.

These violent and cruel federal actions terrorize American communities, disrupt the American food supply chain, threaten lives and separate families.

There is no city, state or federal district where it is legal to terrorize and detain people for being brown and working in agriculture. These raids must stop immediately.

UPDATE: we tragically can confirm that a farm worker has died of injuries they sustained as a result of yesterday’s immigration enforcement action.

Tribunal is coming for ICE. There will be a review when this madness is over.
 
The president threatening to violate the Constitution.

Basically the "illegal alien" claim by conservatives is now empty because republicans can now strip ANYONE of citizenship on a whim, or bestow it on a whim.

NYC baseball coach forced to act after ICE approached youth team in practice

Then, Wilder claims the ICE agents began pressuring the students into disclosing personal information. Wilder said they asked: "Where they're from, who are their parents, and I just thought, 'Whoa, whoa, this is... this is not good,'"

Wilder may be a youth baseball coach, but he also has a master's degree in law. He confronted the officials and told his students they didn't need to answer any questions.

"I told my kids to walk to the back of the cages, and I said they're going to invoke their Fifth Amendment rights. They're not going to say anything," Wilder added.

At this point, Wilder claimed that an ICE official raised his voice. "That's when I was called a YouTube lawyer, and I said, 'No, I just know how the Constitution works,'" Wilder said.

Wilder said the children are American citizens, although some of their parents are from foreign nations. "Their parents are from the Dominican Republic, South America, Mexican, Africa, but their kids were born here," Wilder said.
 

And it’s VERY LIKELY the ONLY reason those republicans (and some "independents" and "Democrats") are changing their opinion about immigration, is because they own a business or work in a business that depends on immigrants (including the housing business) and it’s: affecting their bottom line; their labor workforce, and the prices of goods & services in their personal lives.

President Biden was getting a handle on immigration &’border security before he left office, and he could have largely solved the problem in a sane & balanced manner that didn’t cripple business & the economy if DonOld & the MAGAt republicans hadn’t SABOTAGED the VERY CONSERVATIVE & BIPARTISAN immigration reform & border security bill.
