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

Holy smokes dude now you're being obtuse. They didn't start Day 1 by gunning people down. Hell, here's reports from 1933 of him getting the ball rolling:

Or how about this list of over 2000 stories covering the Catholic POV of what we would later call the Holocaust from beginning to end?

The Seattle Times reporting on it?

Or how about the NYT covering concentration camps in 1937?

No, people weren't calling it the Holocaust just yet but how evil the man was was widely reported in the press, including his actions that we would later describe as such.

 

Maybe I’m being obtuse, but you’re being flat out wrong. I’m ok with that difference.

Since the main reason we are talking about this is to see what we can learn from history, I think it’s important to get the history right. You prefer getting the vibes right.

 

I think things would be pretty ********ing bad already once Trump reaches the Franco in 1937 stage. By 1937, the White Terror had cost over 100000 lives. Entire villages wiped out, sometimes sparing young children, sometimes not even showing that much mercy.

 

I do believe that if the devolution of norms is not stopped, the Trump regime might be headed that way.

 

And where were these complaints about attacks on Christianity when it was ICE agents that were targeting churches with a majority of minority parishioners.

But this is the same government that can't find mine formation when I need it to or I have to wait weeks and weeks for a new passport card. It's never been about the resources it's always been about the priorities.

 

They were coming from liberals

I thought this was interesting and shocking in terms of the discussion about concentration camps. Not giving basic care to people you are detaining is one obvious step on that path.

 

Well maybe get a little more involved then

These people should be stripped of their citizenship and dropped off in Chad or wherever, just like they’ve done to others. Everyone involved writing it, promoting it, and carrying it out.

From a couple of weeks ago….armed black panthers in Philly confronting two black Philly police officers. This made me smile.

 

Nambia has plenty of room

Unsurprisingly, ICE agents in Minnesota have not been following the judge's orders to stop using chemical agents and rubber bullets on peaceful protesters and observers. But, they've also had the appeals court take their side at least for the moment; the appeals court has blocked the injunction while they decide on a longer-term stay: https://www.reuters.com/world/us-ap...estraining-immigration-agents-use-2026-01-21/

Meanwhile, this observer was detained and pepper sprayed directly in the face after he was already on the ground with his hands behind him. F***k these guys, they're going to blind someone else:



Video of the incident seen on Reddit where Redditors claim that the unmasked agent in this photo has been caught pepper spraying protesters with the intent to cause injury (directly in the face) at least 3x: https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/comments/1qjfxbj/ice_pepper_sprays_pinned_man_in_the_face_12126/

 

This tweet has a gift link to an op ed from Radley Balko. He says what ICE is and has been doing is fundamentally different from previous* instances of police brutality.

2014090637595828231 is not a valid tweet id

*he actually says since Ferguson; he’s not comparing it to the Jim Crow South at its worst, or settler treatment of indigenous people

 

A woman in Minneapolis owns a toy store with her parents. She was interviewed on GMA and said some very anti ICE things. 3 hours later the feds showed up at the store demanding documents for their employees.

Speaking of immigrants- well, in this case, the children of immigrants... I just Wiki'd Usha Vance. She's so damn much more talented than the White mother ********er she married it ain't even funny

Flores faced up to 15 years in prison if convicted on charges of conspiracy to commit theft from interstate and foreign shipment and theft from interstate and foreign shipment. He pleaded not guilty.

But, in a complicated sequence of events, Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported Flores on or about Dec. 29, according to his attorney, John D. Robertson. In a Jan. 9 motion to dismiss the case against Flores, Robertson said he had “just learned” his client had been deported.

The jewelers victimized by the crime are indignant.

“When a defendant in a major federal theft case leaves the country before trial, victims are left without answers, without a verdict, and without closure,” said Jerry Kroll, an attorney for some of the jewelry companies.

 

Fear, control, squashing dissent. They DGAF if Libs are injured or killed. Truly a low point in modern American history.

"The lies this administration is telling about Ms. Good aren’t those you deploy as part of a cover-up. They’re those you use when you want to show you can get away with anything. They’re a projection of power."
