ICE is now arresting preschoolers and sending them to detention centers

Grow up. Helping people does nothing to hurt you. You think the state should round up preschoolers and expel them all so you can save some nebulous amount on your property taxes. Disgusting.

The separation of families was all Stephen “The Ghoul” Miller. He’s got psychopathic tendencies otherwise he couldn’t have created that program. Most parents would imagine their children, alone and scared separated from their mother and father and they wouldn’t be able to do it.


Most parents wouldn’t drag their children to a foreign country without visas to stay.


Be grateful you’re not in their shoes.

But also wondering - as the media and PPs are accepting at face value that the father has a pending asylum claim, per the attorney. I’m assuming, if he does, then he will be interviewed while in detention, as is still happening. It may be that he goes through the process and is not found eligible for asylum. What do you make of this?


It’s no use to be objective or logical with this crowd. The people want to be outraged, so the people will be outraged. There’s no such thing as a fake asylum claim! #believealleconomicmigrants


It's not a fake asylum claim because you say it's so. There are well pled cases and not well pled cases. Either the Judge gets to decide and not some anon keyboard warrior with an on-line degree from Trump U.

With a good pro-bono lawyer anyone can prepare and make a good case for asylum. There is a definite formula to be followed. I've yet to appear in court on an asylum claim that wasn't successful. The courts are so backed up right now, that a person can stay in the US for a very long time until their cases are heard. That's not the fault of those seeking asylum, I imagine whatever is being spent on ICE could have funded lots of court proceedings and lots of Judges.



I appreciate the partially civil response, but just like I can’t say with certainty that his asylum case is fake, neither do you know that it is legitimate. And your point above about the formula goes to my point: economic migrants are coached on what to say. That doesn’t mean it’s TRUE. The reality is that most of them are looking for a better opportunity. I don’t blame them, but being here in this country is not something they’re entitled to.

They’re entitled to due process, which includes a hearing.

+1 And his now wife who was the spokesperson for DHS during family separation before public outcry forced them to stop.

Why you cannot help these people in Mexico? You can easily travel there as an American and provide all the help they need.

Some other country can help them. I don’t think they should be “expelled” because I don’t think they should be allowed in to begin with. Asylum needs to be seriously overhauled. They give it away to almost anyone with basically no proof. Are people investigating these “gangs”? No.

So overhaul it. Don’t torture 5 year olds. And FFS don’t torture 2 YEAR OLDS who have a court order preventing their removal.

You know - FOLLOW THE LAW or change the law.

Effective November 28, 2025, USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) stopped granting or denying asylum applications. With the exception of white Afrikaners.

Asylum seekers are supposed to be detained while their claims are considered. Trump is following the law. The people not following the law were Biden and Democrats who unleashed their open borders catastrophe on the country during Biden’s presidency. Democrats are a party that is anti-law enforcement and pro-open borders. That is obvious from their recent crusade against ICE. Do they really think they are gaining voters with this agenda? They are motivating a lot of people to vote against them.

That’s some serious copium. Everyone except MAGA thinks Trump has gone too far and strongly disapproves of Herr Miller’s concentration camp strategy. Turns out attacking kids and killing white ladies is a bad electoral strategy.

Or their families can stay together in their own country. Caveat emptor.

That’s not true, the vast majority of Republicans and a sizable number of independents approve of his actions. And even if what you sad is true, the country still doesn’t trust Democrats on immigration. Polls show Republicans are far more trusted on the issue. And even the liberal NYT poll showed a majority of voters approve of his border polices and efforts to deport illegal immigrants. All of the phony stories the liberal media has planted still hasn’t made voters want your open borders agenda.

These ICE agents will rot in hell for the evil they are doing.


Agreed.

At a minimum, thank God it seems the boy and his father have not been separated.


I actually agree with you that they should never separate families. (I mean have they, though? Are dad and son together?) I think it would actually have been worse to have left the boy with a stranger with whom he might or might not be safe.

What makes the situation UNFORGIVABLE is that the father was legal. It isn't that he is not a violent criminal. It is not that he is not any sort of criminal. It is that he is here LEGALLY.

What is happening in my country?

Kristi Noem said youDHS wants "the worst of the worst" off the streets. When that turned out to be an absolute falsehood, you all said, we need all illegal immigrants off the streets. HE IS LEGAL.

How can anyone defend this?


They can’t. That is why the social media defenders are falling back on their tired old talking points. Everyone can see that Miller and Trump are accomplishing nothing but chaos.

If Trump really wanted to fix the illegal immigration problem, he would tell the GOP to pass e-verify and have ICE raid the offices of places of employment and detain employers for non compliance.

Ask yourself why Trump is not doing that.

An average of 45.7% approval isn't “everyone but MAGA” thinks he’s fine too far. You live in an ideological bubble.
