Wenn ihr wirklich ordentlich Stimmen von der AfD abziehen wollt, dann nehmt das Thema, um das es geht, endlich ernst: Abschiebung von straffällig gewordenen, illegalen Einwanderern. Darum geht es den meisten. Und Killer-Islamismus. Beides braucht niemand oder? www.messerinzidenz.de zum Nachschlagen.

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.
