So I'm not carrying anything. What would they want? The letter saying USCIS has received my green card application and has given me a work permit? If ICE arrests me, I'm in trouble anyway, because I don't think they know, or care, that green card applicants who previously held visas are allowed to stay on US soil.

The problem/reason people are raising alarms is that there is zero due process/accountability. It’s not just illegals being detained. I’m pretty sure other countries will issue a warning to not travel to the US if their citizens keep being detained. See TikTok link above.

Kind of like there was zero due process/accountability upon entry. The last administration just waved them in across the border or better yet, flew them in, in the dead of night into interior sections of the country.

What were you thinking???

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.

Naturalized citizens are citizens, period.

You can’t be thrown out unless they stripped you of your citizenship, which is an extraordinarily rare and difficult process.

I have lived and traveled in an extensive list of countries, and have had to carry an ID in many of them.

Hysteria doesn’t help anyone.

They are not following any rational laws.

Trump just invoked the freaking Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

It's not hysteria. MAGA just wants everyone to be asleep while the water warms up.

There is no statute of limitations for civil denaturalization cases. If an administration abuses the spirit of the law they can target almost anyone by creating fictitious or disingenuous civil immigration fraud cases to revoke citizenship.

If you're not white, you have a target on your back.

If you speak with an accent, you have a target on your back.

If you're a Muslim or Jew, you have a target on your back.

These are the sad times we live in now.

Please the only green card holders getting deported are the ones who criticize Israel. So there are no Jews with targets on their backs. They are the ones doing the targeting.

Anonymous wrote:I have a simple question. 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.

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

Agreed

Let the green cards self deport

Umm not sure you and PP agree. Why do you want green cards to “self deport?” At first, it was only the criminals. Then just the undocumented. Now the green cards? You guys moving the goal posts? What’s the end goal?

That happened last night to a medical doctor who had a visa to work in the US.
It is horrifying.
No one is safe, not really.
I am a US citizen, and my family has been here for more than a century. Yet this is chilling.

H1-b work visa can be revoked anytime. She was denied entry at a border crossing. So something she did flagged her. This happens all the time even before Trump.

All h1bs need to go home.

It is no longer ethical to hire cheap guest workers instead of US citizens

These "cheap" H1b workers probably make more money in a quarter than you do in an entire year. These H1B people make way more money than you and the average MAGA
