    ********ing facism again.

    Trump admin paused all new visa's for all foreign students. They are rolling out a new social media vetting process as part of new approvals.

    In other words, criticize Trump in social media and you won't get a Visa.

    The Trump administration has ordered US embassies worldwide to immediately stop scheduling visa interviews for foreign students as it prepares to implement comprehensive social media screening for all international applicants.

    A Tuesday state department cable instructs consular sections to pause adding “any additional student or exchange visitor (F, M, and J) visa appointment capacity until further guidance is issued” within days.

    The directive, first reported by Politico and now confirmed by the Guardian, could severely delay visa processing and hurt universities – many of which Donald Trump accuses of having far-left ideologies – that rely heavily on foreign students for revenue.

    Bunch of snowflakes they are, afraid of a little bit of criticism. Ya know, free speech and all..

    I don't anticipate many Big Soccer members will be applying for student visas.

    I actually know someone in the WH, so if you want me to ask I can, but in doing so it may just put this site on their radar.

    Because you or your family members are undocumented immigrants and you don't want to draw attention yourself? After all, you people are known for your projecting.

    Noem and Nosferatu are pushing ICE to arrest 3000 people per day. That’s over a million a year. Do we have the capacity to process numbers like that? I highly, highly doubt it, even with the Trump administration violating due process left, right, and center.

    Process? What is that? They intend to deport them to some random country without due process.

    Finding some tinpot authoritarian willing to take in 1000 people is one thing. Even finding a handful who collectively are willing to take in 50,000 seems…not easy or anything, but plausible.

    You’d have to do that 20 times. 20. For this year, with more to come.

    How many holding cells does the system have? If the number is 10,000 and each person is in a holding cell for 10 days between arrest and getting in a plane, it would take 1000 days (if my math is right).

    This is about arrests. On one hand, this is performative. On the other hand, this is from an internal meeting.

    White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem demanded immigration agents significantly increase daily arrests to 3,000 in a “tense” meeting last week, according to a report.

    ...

    While Noem took a “milder approach” during the meeting, Miller adopted a “harsh” tone with agents and “had people leaving the meeting feeling their jobs could be in jeopardy if the new targets aren't reached,” according to Axios.

    Earlier I was listening to a report about DOGE sending threatening and harassing emails to government employees trying to get them to resign. Seems a familiar pattern.

    It is obvious these clowns haven't thought things beyond "let's say we will arrest 3K ill-eagles a day to make Orange Daddy happy".

    Everybody knows long-term planning and logistics are woke anyway.

    Regarding immigration, I think it is Miller time, and Trump just nods his head.

    Did y'all forget that Miller was talking to private prison companies before innaguration to build more facilities, specifically to hold these folk?

    Did they get built though?

    Because if not, then I'd argue that is just another example of these racist dumbf*cks being too incompetent to follow through on their own worst impulses and just using the underpants gnomes approach to ethnic cleansing.

    This is true. A friend of ours who is a civilian working for the military went through this earlier this year.
