I know someone who was deported back to Puerto Rico a couple of weeks ago. He was pissed because he had to pay for a flight back home to NYC. It’s crazy.

Seriously? Make up better lies.

Puerto Rico is a US territory and all Puerto Ricans are US citizens. They can not be deported from the US or to Puerto Rico.

What you are saying is that you know someone from Alaska that was “deported” back to Anchorage.

They may be lying but maybe not. I’m half Puerto Rican and two of my elderly aunts were terrified to fly to the mainland in February for similar reasons. The linked story scared them and many others, and I doubt it’s the only instance.

They are lying, 100%, because if you get deported you are sent back to your home country. If they determine your home country is Puerto Rico, they know you are an American.

Again, it is like saying someone was “deported “ to Alaska. It doesn’t make any sense.

He was detained and sent to Puerto Rico. You can quibble about semantics but the police sent him against his will. He then had to purchase a ticket back to NYC. It didn’t make any sense to him either.

No, he wasn’t.

Being “sent” to Puerto Rico is exactly as plausible as being “sent” to Ohio.

“Police” don’t just send people to other parts of the country against their will.

Yes they do. I guess you haven’t seen the folks in the hotel in Panama, who were deported there and none are Panamanian.

If the idea is to target immigrants or naturalized citizens because "they" want to make america white, then why are they not targeting the black population in this country. Didn't most black men also not vote of Trump, what with Obama chiding them for not excited with Harris etc. Green card holders are a small minority and many are actually white, don't they want more white immigrants and if they target all GC holders then it isn't fitting the narrative. Something is missing in all this.

Stephen Miller hates Hispanic immigrants.

I have a friend who's lived in the US for >20 years, visa expired long ago, still waiting for a green card, has an American-born child, and she's terrified. She's also stuck, because if she tries to leave the country she'll end up like this woman.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/03/16/mass-deportation-ice-detains-non-criminals/82304354007/

Bradley Bartell and Camila Muñoz had a familiar small-town love story, before they collided with immigration politics.

They met through mutual friends, had a first date at the local steakhouse, married after two years and were saving to buy a house and have kids. Muñoz was already caring for Bartell's now 12-year-old son as her own.

But last month, on their way home to Wisconsin after honeymooning in Puerto Rico, an immigration agent pulled Muñoz aside in the airport.

"Are you an American citizen?" asked the agent. She answered no, she wasn't. She's from Peru. But she and her husband had taken the legal steps so that one day she might get U.S. citizenship.

Millions of Americans, including Bartell, had voted for President Donald Trump's promise to crack down on "criminal illegal immigrants." But eight weeks in, the mass deportation effort has rapidly expanded to include immigrants whose application for legal status in the country is under review.

Even those married or engaged to U.S. citizens are being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, USA TODAY has learned.

In addition to Muñoz, USA TODAY has confirmed through attorneys, family members and documents that ICE has detained for weeks:

a woman in her 50s who has lived in the country more than 30 years and is married to a U.S. citizen;
a woman in her 30s with proof of valid permanent legal residency, whose father and siblings are U.S. citizens, and who first came to the U.S. as a teen;
a European woman in her 30s engaged to a U.S. citizen who overstayed her visa when she was 21;
a woman engaged to a U.S. legal permanent resident, with whom she has lived for nine years.

ICE has quotas to meet so they're snagging all the low-hanging fruit they can.

I didn't say it's OK. But all the people who voted for Trump because they thought he was just going to deport the criminals and bad guys are in for a rude awakening. Some bad stuff is going to happen to your neighbors and friends, and if you're thoughtful, you might wonder how does this "make America great"?

I posted on here ad nauseum before the election warning everyone that my Trump supporters relatives want *everyone* gone except for American born white and black people and I was ignored.

Well, that's what's happening folks.

If you are brown or aren't an American citizen, I would urge you not to travel.

Unless you are going back to your county of origin to stay. Seriously.

And that includes all the Hispanic people who think they look "white." Please have your American passport on you at all times.

Not how I personally want things to be, but it is what my relatives who vote Republican want to happen. And it's happening.

If things got so bad that citizens have to carry their naturalization certificates and passports to avoid deportation then probably its not worth stay anyways.

True.

It's what Republicans voted to have happen, and it's happening.

If you’re white you are generally ok. I’ve noticed for many years that white illegals are generally left alone unless they cause trouble. But I’ve even seen illegal white people get arrested for whatever and not get deported.

This administration seems to have a broader non 1st amendment loving definition of "trouble." Intentional I'm sure

I am not worried, I am also armed to the teeth.

OP here. I think it’s deeper than just plain racism. That might Magas wet dream, but I think the government’s goal is to use fear and discourage dissent. Another poster mentioned her white European DH being afraid. The man detained in the article is white. I think the threat of deportation is just another tool to silence people. Like going after universities, protesters.

I think they want to reduce the size of the population. Hence antivaccine propaganda, cuts to medicare and medicaid, mass deportations. It is the same song.

No, they are trying to get more people to have babies - that's Vance's wet dream, and hence one of the reasons for restricting abortion. This guy smoked pot, had a DUI, and is probably a liberal and gay. MAGA don't want people like that populating the US.

The article says he has an 8 year old daughter with his female partner.

They may be lying but maybe not. I’m half Puerto Rican and two of my elderly aunts were terrified to fly to the mainland in February for similar reasons. The linked story scared them and many others, and I doubt it’s the only instance.

True but if you read the article, you’d see that the Puerto Rican family was detained by ICE because they were speaking Spanish. They were peacefully shopping in a store and next thing they are detained by ICE. That is not right.
