No, the intent is to deport people of color- not all immigrants

Not true. We have a State Senator in Colorado who is Muslim

Amazing. Short people have brains and leadership skills too. Who knew?

I mean this is exactly what happened in my neighborhood in Sept 2013

@jennifertaub.com with the terrifying details. Also, I think she is absolutely correct that most people cannot comprehend the scale of this evil project, nor the enormous budgetary increase for ICE contained the the Biff Pile of Shite Bill.

Donald Trump's immigration agents are parading around masked, in unmarked cars, and snatching hardworking people off the streets — ripping them away from their families and disappearing them into federal detention labyrinths just to meet indiscriminate arrest quotas.

Concerns Grow Over Dire Conditions in Immigrant Detention

Some immigrants have gone a week without showers. Others sleep on bare floors. Medications have gone unprovided. As detentions have soared, former detainees, lawyers, family members and lawmakers tell us conditions in facilities across the country have become intolerable.

Thank you for saying this

As do most activist organizations

Applying for asylum is HARD, and every time I hear about people who have successfully claimed asylum or who have some interim status being taken, I flinch at the sheer weight of paperwork that people have submitted to because the fear for their lives was so stark.

Does it matter to the court that people who are tortured and subjected to this kind of persecution are known to have psychological issues tracking time while it happens? No.

Your statement is inconsistent and therefore you are not credible.

And you need someone to go through your statement with a finetooth comb to make sure is consistent. Otherwise, you will get your claim denied because at one point you said you were in solitary confinement for a month and another you said it was for five weeks.

Those reams of evidence must be obtained from a hostile regime, and hostile regimes very often do not say “oh yeah, we totally took that guy and tortured him.”

People need to provide reams of documentary evidence: hundreds of pages demonstrating that you, personally, were subject to persecution because of your religion or political beliefs or whatever form of asylum you’re claiming.

The asylum process is horrific. People need lawyers to navigate it successfully, which is incredibly costly. One of the reason you need lawyers is because the slightest inconsistency in your story will be interpreted as you not telling the truth.

I think a lot of people—including many who are very sympathetic to asylum—have some idea that the asylum process is easy and involves showing up and saying “I want asylum” and then being granted asylum.

Trump’s immigration policies are viewed more negatively than positively by Americans A Pew survey shows 47% oppose the administration’s overall approach to the arrest and deportation of undocumented migrants. But 56% support expanding the border wall with Mexico

The Asylum Denial Machine In April, immigration judges set two alarming records by closing over 11,000 asylum cases and denying 80% of them in a single month. An avalanche of asylum denials is just beginning.

I understand why Democrats are being restrained about this but the right's effort to lie about what happened here is incredibly disrespectful to the victims and requires vociferous pushback. The shooter appears to have been an anti-abortion zealot and a Trump voter. Don't let them avoid this.

Me too !

they didn’t exist before 2003 and we were just fine

Trump has been caught making millions pumping a meme coin in exchange for dinner with him and a tour of the White House.
This is not only unethical, it’s ILLEGAL.

So it was a personal laptop that Hegseth brought into secure Pentagon spaces. It’s funny that Parnell thinks this is exonerating. It’s actually much worse!

No - to the WH

NYT reporting on Hegseth security breaches

Hegseth so clearly is unqualified to run the Pentagon. This isn’t just a failure to safeguard highly sensitive US national security information, it’s nuts. Shows either his lack of intelligence, expertise, or judgment—or quite possibly all the above www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Cruelty is what they want
NO DUE PROCESS
HAPPENING NOW

AND NO ONE IS STOPPING THEM

'Homegrowns are next': Trump hopes to deport and jail U.S. citizens abroad Trump hopes to deport and imprison U.S. citizens abroad. Critics say the concept is unconstitutional and dangerous.

It’s important to note this is not and was never about citizenship. It’s about removing diversity and dissent to authoritarian power.

Every man denied due process deserves basic rights because they are human. But remember that they are just the first and no one is safe:
