"Mr. Trump didn't just happen to America. He was elected, twice – the second time after attempting a coup. That alone should tell us that something fundamental has changed in American society, that it is so broken that one half of it could knowingly put a degenerate lunatic in the White House just to spite the other half."

"There is simply no upside to attacking Bad Bunny and Latino pride, which is what he did last night on Truth Social, and from which he will never back away. He has thrown away the support he gathered in 2024 from Latinos, I mean, he has just trashed it. And every Latino in this country knows this truth:"

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: ‘They didn’t care
Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s ‘arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for #immigrants’ rights

The moment 19-year-old Emely Agustin spotted the group of masked #immigration agents tackling a woman face down on the pavement, her heart dropped.
She saw the woman’s red jacket.
“Oh my fucking God. That’s my mom!” she screamed.
It was the morning of 5 November in Cottage Grove, #Oregon, and masked officers with #ICE had dragged Juanita Avila out of her van. The agents pinned her down as she cried out for her daughter, who started filming. Juanita, a 47-year-old legal permanent resident, had her green card in her pocket, but officers handcuffed and detained her.

It's about cruelty, hostility, plain meanness, wrapped up in bible verses.
It's about a rancid, twisted perversion of Christianity that has no gospel, no grace, and certainly no Jesus in it.

An OR family is mourning the loss of their father shortly after they say he was deported. Detained:➡️caught Covid & pneumonia in a cold cell➡️deported➡️hadn’t lived in MX for >30 yrs➡️💔died alone there. The family blames #ICE. Given his treatment in #detention➡️deported while sick:➡️warranted.
The fed govt is committing #CrimesAgainstHumanity in its quest to deport millions of ppl. Imagine the 10s of 1000s💔of #immigrants who’ve met similar fates‼️

"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit released a hastily decided ruling on Friday night, obliterating a key understanding of federal immigration law just three days after arguments in the case and giving the Trump administration a powerful tool — for now — to enact mass detentions as part of its mass-deportation program."

"The Trump administration...appears to be manipulating the judicial process to dramatically reduce the chance that Somali immigrants are granted asylum.
Matthew Happock is an immigration lawyer based in Kansas City. He currently represents eight Somali migrants in immigration court. On February 4, Happock said that all his cases had been reassigned to a new immigration judge."

The DHS arrest records make no mention of the Tren de Aragua gang even though officials repeatedly cited its presence in the building as motivation for the raid, in which agents descended from a Blackhawk helicopter and zip-tied U.S. citizens.

Heather Cox Richardson looks at Stephen Miller's "call for a 'labor class' excluded from citizenship and a voice in government" and explores its close parallels to the call of slaveholding elites in the US prior to the Civil War to defend slavery and uphold a hierarchical, male-dominated white Christian society in which some people have rights and humanity and others are excluded.

“Our base is generally not wealthy and they’re not doing well. They’re struggling. If you take away immigration — if they don’t believe he means it — holy cow, that’s not good.”
I.e., many in our base are uneducated and economically struggling. Alll they have going for them is their need to feel superior to someone different from (and, usually, darker than) themselves.
