The short-fingered vulgarian is an expert on knowing who is and who isn't. He testified to that way back in...1993, I think it was. He doesn't like Native people because they got to have casinos and he didn't want them to. I believe his exact words were, "They don't look Indian to me."

need more????? . . .The most recent deportees have been sent to third countries, such as South Sudan and Costa Rica, rather than their home countries. This is part of the Trump administration's policy to deport immigrants to locations other than their homelands, often due to their home countries being unwilling to accept them.

It has been estimated that 200 migrants, including 80 children, have been deported so far to Costa Rica. The migrants sent to a rural camp in the Central American country hail from Afghanistan, Russia, China, Pakistan, India and elsewhere.

Costa Rica has announced most of the deportees would be given three-month permits for humanitarian reasons, during which they can seek asylum there or arrange ways to leave for another country.

? REALLY??? "Many Venezuelans have been deported from the U.S. under the Trump administration's immigration policies, particularly those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which has faced legal challenges. Deportees have been sent to countries like El Salvador, where they have reportedly faced harsh conditions and lack of due process."

Early on, several Native Americans out west were picked up and detained for hours until the #MAGACULTMORONS at ICE figured it out.

What is the process for gaining employment in ICE? Do they get the same background checks that an applicant to police gets?

Why not? Are these ICE agents former criminals? White nationalists? Wife batterers?

I suspect that a lot of them are the one's paroled from Jan 6. That's why he had to have them out of jail/prison. I, at first thought that they were all males, but after seeing a picture of them waiting in a hallway at an immigration hearing, I do believe that two were female from their body shapes.

The authoritarian Trumpist regime is determined to teach a lesson to anyone who dares stand up against them. We've already seen it over and over. This is just one of many egregious actions. But standing up is the only thing that will prevent them from turning America into a country based on what what Trump wants rather than rule of law.

A group of protesters, some in wheelchairs, were arrested and zip-tied on Capitol Hill and dragged out by police officers as they demonstrated against proposed cuts to Medicaid in Republicans' massive spending package.

Proposed cuts could mean that some 10 million low-income Americans would lose coverage over the course of the next 10 years. The legislation would also put in place additional work requirements for those using the program.

At least 33 people were arrested for “illegally demonstrating” inside the Russell Senate Rotunda, a Capitol Police spokesperson told The Independent on Wednesday.

The group was arrested for “crowding, obstructing, and incommodin

What the fuck is"incommoding"

What a sad state for our country - The land of the Free. Nothing in our country is free anymore under this regime. ICE should be abolished and if the senate had any morals they would be. They are nothing but masked traitors. In the BBB, they are asking something like a billion dollars to support them. Call your congress people and ask that there be no funding for ICE. Call every day and even multiple times a day. Every newspaper and news station should be telling how much they want to fund ICE with, so that they can get the people out of our country that this regime doesn't want here. Point out that he said it was the criminal migrants that he was removing, not the hard working ones. Not one of us would be living in the US right now if it hadn't been for immigrants. We should be thanking them, not deporting them. I just called my Congress people on ICE funding and medicaid cuts. I call every day with different request. I don't know if it helps, but it certainly can't hurt. Who knows, they might actually listen to us. Flood their phones and emails with your voice.

If you have access to The Atlantic Daily for 6/25/25, read the article by Yair Rosenberg - What America Can Learn From Iran's Failure. It is a fascinating read. And scary.

There is no mercy, humility, or understanding spewing from this evil administration. We can only hold our breath in fear of what comes next. I stand with all our immigrant friends and neighbors hoping the courts uphold the rule of law. ICE is not a legal police. They are wearing mask to hide their shame, dishonor to our country, and their evil.

Nazis and Controlling the Masses

The Nazis have control of voting technology(https://bit.ly/43ZBNkO) to rig all future elections and they have beaucoup bucks with the uberwealthy getting even wealthier big tax backs with the Congressional ugly bill

But the Nazi party does not control WE the People This is all about French Revolution 2.0 WE the People should demand that there will be a shoring up of voting election procedures through the courts and then show up for the 2026 midterms armed with our vote to toss the Nazis out of power

WE the People need to demand more information about the 2024 election Nazi subversion and shut down the Nazi propaganda about the 2020 election lies Organized people will defeat organized money It has shown up in the Protest and Resistance movements, it has shown up in Wisconsin when Musk threw a bunch of money in the state Supreme Court race unsuccessful, it has shown up in the NY primary race where New Yorkers voted against big money and for Zohran Mamdani The Nazis should be concerned about WE the People

Exactly my feelings as well. I do NOT TRUST The next ELECTIONS ESPECIALLY BECAUSE TRUMP WON. SO MANY SLIP UP AT HIS RALLIES about Elon helping with the COMPUTER systems and you’ll never have to vote again statements he mentioned so many times. As HE never really said what his policies were except IMMIGRATION. I REALLY DON’T TRUST THE NEXT ELECTION PROCESS HE HAS TO MANY PEOPLE WITH TOO MUCH MONEY TO HELP HIM gerrymandering ECT.

Very scary times. Especially in the swing states in the south

Agree BUT cannot let the cynicism of elections creep into the electorate psyche That's what the Nazis want and is why Cheeto ordered an investigation into the 2020 election It's a propaganda move to instill doubt about elections in general

There's a good chance Martial Law will be instated before the next scheduled elections. The excuse? Millions and millions of protesters peacefully protesting, except for a handful of MAGAs out to cause trouble, by design. If it is enacted, a President can stay in power indefinitely, and all elections halted indefinitely too. Write your Representatives weekly. Keep protesting. Don't give in to fear, fascist regimes count on it.

It's disgusting how they can just round up people like cattle. It's inhumane and the people doing it have no shame. They only wear masks so they are not doxxed. These immigrants may be here illegally, or not, but that doesn't make them hardened criminals. We will never really know if they are not given due process.

Because U.S. born people who aren't white generally won't do the hard labor for pennies on the dollar, without any safety protections, including heat breaks, fresh water, and the general safety considerations necessary on the corporate farms. This is what the corporate farm owners want - no Federal safety rules, no chold labor laws no humanitarian considerations of any kind. Same with the other hard labor jobs - humanity be damned.

I agree with Governor Newsom, these "ICE/FBI AGENTS" need to be arrested in order to fully determine their identities and qualifications. Ppl masked, without warrants, roughly assaulting ppl, handcuffed them, and putting them in unmarked vehicles bound for who knows where, is ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL. There are very strict laws about assaulting, handcuffing/restraining, stalking, and abduction. The local police needs to get busy arresting these FAKE FBI/ICE agents!
