Mass Deportations Or: Let's Get This Party Started

[SgtSpiderMan]

Bro why are they allowed to stay in business after breaking so many laws?

That’s a great question. Why do taxpayers have to spend all this money to remove immigrants? If we held employers accountable for breaking the law the illegals wouldn’t come because there would be no job for them.

The Thought Police …

Foreign students will be required to unlock their social media profiles to allow US diplomats to review their online activity before receiving educational and exchange visas, the state department has announced.

Any criticism of Trump or Israel is cause for being banned from entering the US.

Cool and normal.

yeah, let's get rid of all those damned violent criminals, the rapists/drug-dealing/people-trafficking/mentally unwell immigrants...

Florida pastor's wife, nana, and friend to many in her community who lived here 30 years picked up by ice and deported.

In an interview with CBS affiliate WCTV, the family said that they spent years working to secure Maria Isidro's citizenship and that she regularly met with the Department of Homeland Security to comply with requirements and avoid deportation.

As reported by the Tallahassee Democrat, she was issued a removal order in 2004 but had been granted a "stay of deportation" each year since—a discretionary measure that can be revoked at any time.

In 2023, she was approved for an I-130 petition, also known as a Petition for Alien Relative, which is a step toward obtaining legal status.

Maria Isidro's son, Jo Isidro wrote in a social media post: "She wasn't taken by illness. She didn't leave by choice. She was detained by ICE during what was supposed to be a routine immigration check-in. My mother is a Christian woman. A preacher's wife. A caregiver. A woman with no criminal record, who's always done things the right way. She showed up to every appointment. She trusted the system. And still, she was taken from us."

The family wrote in a post on GoFundMe: "She has shown up to every check-in for over 20 years, always with documents in hand, never hiding, always doing things the right way. As anyone who has gone through this process knows, it is a lengthy and costly process."

Multiple Texas Farms Shut Down After ‘Almost 100%’ Of Workforce Vanishes Overnight

In a stunningly swift overnight change, some Texas farm operations had to shut down after losing virtually all of their workforce, an exodus triggered by the increase in immigration raids and increased enforcement. The ripple effects of these raids are the gift that keeps on giving and will be felt nationwide: unpicked crops are now left unharvested, livestock were left untended, and rural economies are on edge.

This story isn’t just a tale of woe for Texan farms; it's a warning for American agribusiness, food prices, and the communities that keep food on our plates.

Social media was ablaze with videos and eyewitness accounts, as the hashtag #TexasFarmCrisis went viral, taking the news cycle beyond rural Texas. The sudden mass disappearance left a heavy feeling that something greater than a mere labor standstill was at play, and the repercussions would be astounding.

Farmers, who had been working with their crews for decades, described the loss as "devastating" and "unprecedented." This is alarming as most farms are founded upon immigrant labor, both legal and illegal, creating a domino effect for the food system as a whole.

how many of these same Texan farmers voted trump? How many thought they'd be exempt from breaking a law because they were trump supporters? How many actually believed his lies about going after the violent criminals? How many will actually change how they vote? Probably fewer than I'd hope.

 

[butters]

he's vacillating between ''raid everywhere'' to "maybe not our farmers" to (once stays were placed on raids) "I told you to get 'em ALL!" to 'We can't hurt our famers."

guess it depends who's shouting in his ear the loudest and how his actions are affecting his polling; if anyone actually believes he cares one shit about any farmer or brown-skinned immigrant, you are delusional.

"We're looking at doing something where in the case of good, reputable farmers, they can take responsibility for the people that they hire, and let them have responsibility, because we can't put the farms out of business, and at the same time, we don't want to hurt people that aren't criminals," Trump told reporters after arriving at a New Jersey airport.

It was not clear what that system of responsibility would look like, or how it would work.

If there's one thing a farmer doesn't need, it's insecurities. How can they plan and plant crops, agree to contracts to sell their produce, financially plan their agricultural/herd futures? If they cannot be sure of workers to prepare the ground, plant, tend and harvest their crops, if they can't be sure their livestock will have the manpower required to raise it, they cannot make plans.

It's hard enough to contend with the vagaries of Nature as exacerbated by climate change without all this shit on top.

Federal judge orders release of Mahmoud Khalil from Ice detention

The federal judge, Michael Farbiarz, said during the hearing on Friday that Khalil is not a flight risk, and “is not a danger to the community. Period, full stop”.

“It is highly, highly unusual to be seeking detention of a petitioner given the factual record of today,” Farbiarz also said during the hearing that took place on Friday.

Farbiarz said that the government had “clearly not met” the standards for detention.

Later on Friday, Khalil was ordered to surrender his passport and green card to Ice officials in Jena as part of his conditional release. The order also stipulated that Khalil’s travel be limited to a handful of US states, including New York, as Louisiana and Michigan for court appearances.

Trump is happy to deport Afghan refugees to face death sentences

It’s all about trying to meet deportation quotas.

Donald Trump revoked safeguards from deportation for those in the US covered under temporary protected status (TPS), by taking Afghanistan offthe list of eligible countries then, not long after, put Afghanistan on the list of countries affected by the revamped travel ban.

The loss of TPS for Afghans, which also provides employment authorization, goes into effect on 14 July.

With the government’s announcement, Safi said some in his community are too afraid to speak openly but had told him “they would choose suicide over being tortured and killed by the Taliban”.

Asked to elaborate, he said: “They have said this because the Taliban is still there and if you send an Afghan back to Afghanistan that would mean a death penalty.”

MAGA sheep applaud kicking out refugees who are here legally.

BREAKING: SCOTUS allows Trump admin to deport illegal aliens to third party countries - for now. Trump admin appealed to SCOTUS after a federal judge in Boston blocked third party removals & blocked the removal of aliens to South Sudan w/ several convicted murders on board, including one with a deportation order since 1999.

Big win for Trump admin - for now.

Sending people to South Sudan is very authoritarian. I can see why you’re in favor.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

The court ruling does not prohibit sending them to their country of origin. The government has the flexibility to deport them to wherever it’s most expedient.

Fun fact: there are more US citizens deported illegally because this has been a total failure than current college trans athletes.

Is it “cruel and unusual punishment” to deport people to South Sudan?

Here’s the State Department’s South Sudan travel warning:

Updated to reflect ordered departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel due to continued security threats in South Sudan.

Do not travel to South Sudan due to crime, kidnapping, and armed conflict.

I guess an authoritarian like you doesn’t concern yourself with such things.

And if any of the deported people committed crimes here, they should be jailed here. Letting them go free elsewhere isn’t an appropriate punishment.

It would cost no more money to send them to their countries of origin.

The government can and does deport illegals to their country of origin, but for now (while the case is being litigated), it has the flexibility to deport them anywhere it deems most expeditious.

And you're OKAY with this?

What happens, dear sir, if the government decides to come for YOU?
Where will you end up? Some hell-hole in Africa? Remember, many of these people are not murderers or rapists. They are mothers, grandmothers, church-going teens, harmless farmers, cooks, laborers looking for a better life.

If the government can do this to them, even without having committed any crime, then maybe they can do it to you as well.


You think it wont happen, but that's the problem.... you don't think, period.

Maybe you should start.

Yes I’m fine with SCOTUS granting the stay while the case is being litigated. I’m a US citizen and am not a bit concerned about being deported anymore.
