  1. There's no words really for this. I mean I could come up with a lot of foul words but there's no logic to this kind of treatment. He pardons child pornographers and detains law abiding people who are making a living and contributing to society in a positive way. He's creating is a toxic cesspool.

  2. Because MAGA is racist (and the bad type of racist).

    The good type of racism is family guy, South Park, and American Dad.

    Deportations and police killings are the bad type of racism.

  3. I can't stand it anymore. So many innocent lives destroyed to fill a quota. It's not about removing felons from our country, it was always about the desire to make America white again.

  4. To fill a quota. Not to make the community safer, or better, or more law-abiding, but to increase a random number that has no humanity attached to it.

  5. I'm sorry had to comment again. What we need is a legal tool to start defeating these deportations. Why does it all seem so hopeless? And all we can do is watch this happen? Joining a local group, helping at the Rotary club isn't going to stop this. We need actionable steps we can take. 🚬😎

  6. Oh...haha, did y'all think Captain Vonshitznpants meant the worst of the worst? He was only joking, as he often claims ...he does. He meant, only the best of the best. On the other hand if you are a true cartel, buy some coin, and he will bring you into the country, maybe lunch at Mal-a-Lardo. 🚬😎

  7. Remember when Reagan gave 5 million immigrants blanket amnesty? Bush Sr gave 5 million blanket amnesty, George W gave 5 million blanket amnesty?Because they're friends with farmers & meat processing plant owners that hire immigrants? I remember! What's most moronic Is, Mexicans were here first!

  8. More CRUELTY from the Trump REGIME of HATE & FACISM! It's NOT the immigrants taking over OUR Country it's the NAZI'S in OUR GOVT getting PAID with OUR TAX DOLLARS!🤬

  9. Because cruelty, it's the point of all of this. So is the goal to just destroy lives and imprison a fifth to a quarter of our entire population? What then? We get best economy... the bestest economy ever... Yuge! Bestesttestest ever! The secret is arresting people!

  10. This example and so many others like it are proof that it really isn't about immigration reform.

  13. I’m glad to see Rachel has caught out. It was blue sky, your people could do a little bit better, but still, she’s very smart. She went to Oxford, people should really understand. She loves to tell stories though lol Rachel your dope 🏋🏻🏋🏻🏋🏻

  14. I volunteer to feed the homeless and give them rides when they need it, this is the best I can do but anyway, if I had a lot of money, I would absolutely build something and find responsible people

  15. Sorry it’s a fact Trumps way into law and order and she broke the law

    If she had committed sexual assault or pedophilia

    Trump might have let her stay.

  16. Genuine questions - how could she not acquire legal status after 21 years of living there? Or, why did it take 21 years for her to be deported?

  17. I believe that part of their "secret recipe" is to weaken America in any way they can so they can control us and drain any wealth from anywhere they can. It is difficult to pull off a general strike or slowdown (and other forms of resistance) if you have too little food, no medical care, etc.

  19. This is the way it happened in Germany in the 1930s. Now some loyal MAGA midlevel crook will be given her businesses and properties for next to nothing. I’m sure these people are informing on their neighbors left and right.

  20. We have collectively chosen as a nation to spend our days hitting ourselves on the forehead with a hammer.

  21. Wow. This hits close to home. My wife is a green card holder from China who is a CNA Caregiver. I monitor these stories with a view to when it will be time to abandon our lives here and self-deport. We’re in full-throated tyranny. It’s not the Stephen Millers that are surprising, but neighbors.

  23. Sure - Kristi Noem scolds the press corps like they are children . . . “That is a false media narrative and you are never to say that again” when they question why ICE is not focusing on people with criminal behaviors. Shame, shame, shame, everywhere.

  24. ICE agents get paid per warm body they don’t care about anything else but getting paid.

  25. "Why would you want to remove someone like that?"

    I'm sorry, but if you can sincerely ask this question, then you haven't been fucking paying attention the last decade. Pull your fucking head out of the sand, this is not an ignore-it-and-it-might-go-away problem.

  26. We (in Central Phoenix) have also seen the recent sudden unexpected closure of two other Asian restaurants. Ichi Bowl, owned by a Korean couple, and Basilic, a Vietnamese restaurant. I strongly suspect immigration fuckery here.

  27. Wow the comments are so much kinder than on x or Insta. The MAGA people do not care. It’s insane how effortlessly they pull the “not here legally? Then leave” card. As if any of them would not fight for a better life for their kids if the tables were turned

  28. I wonder how many jaywalking tickets ICE is issuing since the “crime” of being undocumented isn’t a felony like most believe. It’s a damned misdemeanor ticket. That’s it! ICE is wasting all that $ on misdemeanor tickets and sending those folks to Concentration Camps. That’s special.

  29. Does Ice have proof she could be one of those “rapists and murderers” Trump says they are picking up?

  30. Trump strips Universities of grants in science, sends students out of the country, throws out the brightest, best. Take ppl of foreign ancestry that contributed so much to the cities, charitable. For what?

  31. prior to 1924, to immigrate to the US, all you needed to do was show up (unfortunately, Ms Yu would have run afoul of xenophobic immigration laws targeting Asians and de-naturalizing them, but....)

  32. Why would you want to remove someone like that? You wouldn’t, unless your an evil, maniacal racist bigot, the kind that served in the government of Nazi Germany and currently fill the Trump Administration.

  33. Because we hate anyone who doesn't look like us? Because the Cruelty is the Point? And this...

  35. Unfortunately, people who care about others are a threat to those who only care about themselves!

    Good people aren’t acceptable under this administration- their goals are the opposite.

  37. Not a criminal,not a drug dealer not even a cartel member! This administration is afraid to go after the bad guys. They’re wimps, scaredy cats. They’re probably afraid of their own shadow so they wear the cosplay to feel tough.

  38. The cruelty is the point.

  43. Rachel: for the dumbest reason and the only one the stupid people behind this care about…to meet an arbitrary quota. The vast majority of people “taken” (using a false veneer of legitimacy is bogus imo) are not criminals or gang members. The heavily armed ice thugs seem to be afraid of them.

    More importantly, ask why the US can never get it together to implement a speedy, efficient program that would give illegal residents of this caliber legal status

  48. Because they're really going to sex traffic her. Wake up, folks. They're not "deporting" all these people they're rounding up. Many are simply "disappearing." While we do NOTHING. These are human beings, folks.

  49. Who will be left when ALL green card holders need to leave? How about citizens with foreign-born parents? Are they next?

    Then members of our LGBTQ community, the elderly, the disabled, Jews...... Isn't that how Hitler saw the problem of an impure society (not white) that is full of useless eaters?

  50. This is so so wrong. She is not a criminal and pays back to her community. She is a good example of being a good citizen.

  51. Because she is not exploitable. The people in power want you to do something wrong, so they can get money out of you under threat of prosecution. If you don't do something wrong, you get called a "pussy" and bullied relentlessly.

  52. The things this administration is doing is going to make sure no one wants to live here. I’ll bet in the future they will be trying to come up with ads to get people to want to come and live here. And no one will

  53. This is what Stephen Miller promised. I could have told (and did tell) people that Trump would do this. I don't understand anyone who saw MASS DEPORTATION NOW and believed it excluded teachers, pastors, or sushi shop owners. Was that in the fine print on those big signs?

  54. What was that gang I had never heard of that was supposedly taking over America, committing crimes, that had to be hunted down &/ removed? (the Trump administration?) Is Trump/ICE saying she is a member?

  55. It’s about the money being paid through Palantir to criminals like S Miller,Homan,Noam,etc and the trillions that will be made by billionaires who own the prisons. Deathsantis is another recipient, why do you think our billions of tax dollars are being paid to ICE to capture innocent people .

  59. That's great, but non-business owners who can't afford to be philanthropic also contribute through their work, taxes, consumer spending, child and elder care, and any other number of ways. Playing into this narrative raises the bar for what's deemed worthy above what regular immigrants can achieve.

  61. Holocausts are not known for being particularly careful or even-handed when it comes to who gets rounded up and why.

    While the obvious focus of all this evil is on Latino & black immigrants, there are bound to be plenty of other people, including American citizens, caught up in this evil shit.

  63. It’s because she’s NOT a gang member or other violent criminal. HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE GUYS? They’re SCARY! It’s much safer to grab some businesswoman than confront one of those guys. They even have guns and stuff.

    Said EVERY ICE agent EVER!

  64. Aren't they great? Stephen Miller gets rich off of Palantir contracts. Tom Homan gets rich by filling his private prisons. Betsy DeVos gets rich by adopting out brown children. And trump, son of Nazi Fred trump, gets off on cruelty.

  65. Good people are being rounded up by terrible, violent, immoral people. It's as simple as that. If you are not outraged by this, I would ask you to kindly go to hell.
