The U.S. Immigration Catch-All Thread [R]

the NYT Daily podcast had a reporter talk about his "ride along." A four hour operation involving over a dozen vehicles and agents from the FBI and State Department IN ADDITION to ICE. Net result: three arrests.

That's a lot of money for three arrests.

Hey, you know those "Government Always Does a Terrible Job" Republicans? It's strange how silent they are when the government does a terrible (and wasteful) job when one of their guys is in charge. You'd almost think they cared more about power rather than actually governing.

 

Obama, (due to his competency) tended to focus more on the employers, which meant that there were often larger groups detained. I was still involved with immigration law some back then, and there was plenty of criticism that came from immigration lawyers and the Left about the levels of deportation during his administration. That the truth was so far from the narrative from the right raised eyebrows and led to entirely reasonable accusations of racism. It is fair to note though that one reason there was more under Biden especially is that the US wasn't viewed as a shithole autocratic backwater.

 

Proof 1 gazillion that the orange Felon is incompetent and never pays his bills:

And how is LA helping out?

 

I feel like the community or the state should be sending paid for taco trucks to feed these guys, so they can compare the guy who doesn't do the paperwork to make sure they get paid, with the people feeding them. Plus, you know, tacos. TACO. Get it?

But I can understand the reluctance of taco truck operators to be in the general area.

 

For those who need to hear it, interrupting a cabinet press conference with disruptive theatrics and then disobeying security is not "congressional oversight", it's a publicity stunt.

 

As much as the mayor is really annoying me with her fecklessness, I gotta agree they shouldn't spend a dime to pay for the federal government assault.

 

Kristi Noem, famous for her aversion to publicity stunts.

 

It's like, all Trumpworld knows is publicity stunts. Everything they do is a publicity stunt. Kristi Noem didn't need to be in LA, giving a speech about how the federal government was going to remove the elected leaders of the city of Los Angeles and the state of California. But a Democrat does a publicity stunt, and they clutch their pearls and break out the fainting couch. "Oh my stars, that rude man interrupted me!"

 

Agree. TACO affected him personally. As would this,

 

So apprehending someone that has JUST crossed the border and deporting them immediately doesn't get you as much points as going to a kid's school to apprehend a dreamer that has no memory of the nation of his birth or nabbing a single mother who's been here for 20 years working and living a decent life while abiding the law by going to her routine immigration appointment?

Gotcha!

I didn't there there was a point system with MAGA based on how inhuman the raid was.

 

Just got this in my inbox. Real Madrid in Miami was supposed to sell out. Either way, it is safe to say sending ICE to act as security for matches...will affect attendance. Tickets amy be sold...let's see who shows up.

 

From what I’ve seen it’s not just undocumented immigrants who are worried about ICE. Anybody who’s from a foreign country or even looks like they might be is at potential risk.

 

That’s good. Given how much foreign tourism has gone down this year I assume many feel differently, but then I guess that depends on how much people pay attention to American politics. I guess we’ll see.

 

Be sure to let us know you're ok when/if you return home!

 

its nir the opening games that will tell the tale. its after we find out exactly what booted and suited means.

 

When you respond to a troll you ride with bin Laden

Or something

 

lol you still haven’t figured out fascism
