Yup. We're going to have this cycle of ATROCITY AND OUTRAGE keep going till it overlaps with the 24 Hour News Cycle, all to keep his mob ties, his servitude towards Putin, his failures, the fraudulence of his life, and the like from bubbling to the surface.
202-224-3121 <--- If you're American, and you aint called this number to demand impeachment or thank your rep for doing so, do so for this cruel stupid travesty to end faster.
Minorities? He loves the sensation of power against everyone, why do you think he let the story about strikes against Iran go out even when he waffled on it? Dude LOVES getting a reaction especially an angry or scared reaction out of him. it's not new either, just look at any of the books released on him and you'll see the story over and over.
It's easier to stage a crackdown on non-citizens than it is citizens both legally, and in how you can sell it to the American people.
You saw it coming. I guess the rest of us should have as well.
It's a pattern now, with Mexico, Iran, and now ICE enforcement.
It's sickening.
The New Yorker: ICE Agents Are Losing Patience with Trump's Chaotic Immigration Policy
Last Monday, when President Trump tweeted that his Administration would stage nationwide immigration raids the following week, with the goal of deporting "millions of illegal aliens," agents at Immigration and Customs Enforcement were suddenly forced to scramble. The agency was not ready to carry out such a large operation. Preparations that would typically take field officers six to eight weeks were compressed into a few days, and, because of Trump's tweet, the officers would be entering communities that now knew they were coming. "It was a dumb-shit political move that will only hurt the agents," John Amaya, a former deputy chief of staff at ice, told me. On Saturday, hours before the operation was supposed to start in ten major cities across the country, the President changed course, delaying it for another two weeks.
On Sunday, I spoke to an ice officer about the week's events. "Almost nobody was looking forward to this operation," the officer said. "It was a boondoggle, a nightmare." Even on the eve of the operation, many of the most important details remained unresolved. "This was a family op. So where are we going to put the families? There's no room to detain them, so are we going to put them in hotels?" the officer said. On Friday, an answer came down from iceleadership: the families would be placed in hotels while ice figured out what to do with them. That, in turn, raised other questions. "So the families are in hotels, but who's going to watch them?" the officer continued. "What happens if the person we arrest has a U.S.-citizen child? What do we do with the children? Do we need to get booster seats for the vans? Should we get the kids toys to play with?" Trump's tweet broadcasting the operation had also created a safety issue for the officers involved. "No police agency goes out and says, 'Tomorrow, between four and eight, we're going to be in these neighborhoods,' " the officer said.
Pretty much my exact response, with a dash of hoping EVERY operation they go on somehow becomes a politically mandated boondoggle to the detriment of the agents and only the agents.
I'm seeing chatter on my local FB groups about an ICE checkpoint in my area. Metro ATL - Buford Highway area. Anyone else hearing anything similar in your neck of the woods? Not sure if related to new raids or ongoing operations, but this is the first time ICE operations have started being talked about on my feeds. Glad to see folks looking out for one another.
I'm sure this isn't ICE related but definitely Trump administration related. I just found out my coworker got his work visa taken away and he is being deported back to Mexico today. I'm upset because he's one of the nicest people I've met. He doesn't deserve this. Not to mention the Trump administration is trying to take away another coworker's visa too. They're trying to send him back to Vietnam even though his wife is a US citizen and they have a newborn. Shits all fucked up. No one deserves this. He's getting a lawyer to fight it.
To piggyback off of this, Vietnamese and Cambodian deportations have increased sharply in this administration as an escalation from the Obama and Bush administrations.
went to get a haircut today and noticed the owner's daughter wasn't in so I asked where she was.
turns out there was an issue with her VISA and was required to go get that straightened out. once on the other side of the border she gets told she's not being allowed back in. Her husband is back over here with the kids and they've hired an attorney but for the time being she's stuck in Mexico.
All according to plan it seems.

By any chance did they have any records or deportation orders, etc? Or is the Trump admin just going after anyone?
The guy from Mexico I don't know. He didn't tell me and I didn't ask. They are giving the Vietnamese guy a hard time because he forgot to report a benefit from his job in his renewal, and they don't believe it was a mistake and he's lying.
It is notable that even the enforcers of an increasingly fascist state are beginning to realize that it is impossible to be "ethical" nationalistic xenophobes.
At this point, minorities might just buy guns and protect themselves if ICE decided to just break in people houses and breakup families. Now that everybody knows they may happen again, should they get weapons to protect themselves? If it was me and someone was coming in to breakup my family, we going down at this point.
This is why this is stupid and this Administration needs to be removed. It's dangerous and could cause civil strife across the country. Wouldn't be surprised if hispanics decide to go on a mass long term strike and watch crops and other parts of the US market to fail, just to make a point. What you going to do? Make prisoners work the field? If I was a prisoner, I would just tell them to go fuck themselves and chill in my jail cell if I am not offered less jail time.

Sounds more like they're just complaining about the logistics of it. They probably just don't want to fill out all the paperwork.
You right, hard to "Just Follow Orders" when the orders are incompenet
