Of course I’m afraid. And the response tot hat fear has been to stay small and not make myself a target by opposing the administration. They’re getting what they want. MAGA do not care that they voted for autocracy. They don’t care about liberty for all, just for them.

I don’t think chuck grassley’s constituents are considered left wing, and chick was grilled by old, white, conservative men about Garcia’s deportation. Maybe because many of them were around during WW2 and Korea War. They know what fascism looks like and either fought or heard about it from their parents.

I'm very afraid, I'm a naturalized citizen from a South Asian country. We came here legally when I was a child under family sponsorship plan and I was naturalized as a young child. I'm an attorney with 2 children who were born here. I've never felt inhibited to speak my mind, attend a protest, or write what I believe--until now. It is shocking to me how many people think that they will somehow be immune when this administration is crossing so many lines.

Hopefully you’ve lost your accent. Otherwise at minimum, you will be detained until you prove you lawfully belong in this country. I am thinking of that Hispanic man in Virginia who voted for Trump who was profiled, stopes, and detained until somebody in his family produced proof of citizenship.

I mean, did you see how well it with for the Hispanic guy yesterday arrested crossing over from GA to FL? He was born here, and they still hauled his azz off.

If you're brown and not afraid, you're crazy.

Here’s the story the PP is referencing. His mother had to show the judge his state identification card, birth certificate and Social Security card to get him released.

Do they also have a removal order? Otherwise, why are you scared?

Haven’t you seen the clips of one DHS guy saying to the other about a teenager “that’s not the one we’re looking for” and the other says “take him anyway”?

If you think your legal status in this country is protecting you you haven’t been paying attention

DHS guy is not the law in this country. No, I am not scared just because one DHS guy said something on video.

How quaint. You remind me of the Polish who swear they did not know what was happening to their disappearing neighbors, although they saw the smoke and ashes.

I am not. Sky is NOT falling.

Not worried at all. I am in the country legally, I have never committed a crime, I have no ties to Tren or M13, and I paid over 400,000 in taxes for 2024. Why in the world would ICE or anyone in the government want me out of the country?

Well you sound like a dickhead, so that’s one reason

Typical leftist with nothing of substance to say. Name calling is all you’ve got. No wonder Trump won.

Don’t you get it though? He's one of the “good ones”.

Everyone should be concerned. Let’s say your great-great-grandparents immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1900s. Many clerical errors (spelling of names, dates of birth, locations of birth, etc.) occurred during the process.

If you are targeted at some point by this administration for political reasons, it’s not so far fetched to imagine them nullifying citizenship several generations after the fact due to benign details in the immigration process. Then, the next thing you know, you’re sent zig zagging around the country to ICE dark sites, only to end up in El Salvador where President Bukkake can muse over your misfortune with an “Oopsie!” tweet.

And yes, the US is paying to keep him there.

In the case before Boasberg, the record has one person who was sent back from El Salvador because the US wasn't paying for someone from Nicaragua. This suggests the payment is for only Venezuelans, Tren de Aragua.

I hope for your sake you look white/Anglo and don't have a Hispanic name.

Or any tattoos...

As a petite blonde female born UMC in the U.S. I’m not particularly worried for myself although I’m more worried about due process than I have been under any other president.

I am greatly worried for the immigrants in this country or even people who just fit the appearance that ICE is going after.

Was more likely. We have heard trump saying he wants 5 more prisons to send “the home growns” to. We hear Erik Prince laying out plans for making this a reality. We see the prevalence of future problems even if you have your hands over your eyes and ears trying to ignore them.
