18 year old girl, legal citizen, pushes her 12 year old brother. No injuries.
ICE takes her from Lynn, MA to Cumberland county, ME, and she’s under threat of deportation?
Deportation to where??
This isn’t America. This is beyond alarming.
… legal citizen, …
Legal status. Which I am sure they’re talking about revoking because she’s been “charged with a crime.”
That is the plan. Even for people who are in the US legally, just charge them with a crime, and that legal status can be pulled and they can be deported. Maybe even to Gitmo in the near future.
ICE is Gestapo.
Key fact:
“It’s unusual for (ICE) to pick up an individual with legal status and not convicted of a crime. That usually doesn’t happen.”
Emphasis mine.
Edit: This is intended to reinforce your point for those who don’t read the article.
Could be a lot of things. Could be a tourist visa, student visa, H1B, green card, probably a mess of other things I’m not aware of. Some kind of “You’re not a citizen, but it’s legal for you to be in the United States” paperwork.
I’d expect that the 18 year old is probably attached to her parents’ status.
More Arab and Latino Americans voted for Donald Trump than have ever voted for any Republican candidate before in US history. The Republican youth vote was higher in this past election than it ever has been before, the Democratic youth vote was lower in this pas election than it ever has been before. The Far Left told us they weren’t going to vote for “Genocide Joe”, and Democrat youth didn’t show up to vote.
There’s heavy propaganda and misinformation in the Hispanic community about illegal immigrants. They hate people from South America and they believe that asylum seekers are getting thousands of dollars a week in food and housing assistance as well as direct payments. My Mexican coworker was telling me he saw a guy bragging about it on YouTube around the time of the election. There was recently a viral post claiming you could get $750 if you turned in an illegal, which isn’t true.
Why pay for something that deranged right wingers would happily do for free?
Saw a guy bragging on YouTube and didn’t even stop to consider that the dude was just full of bullshit?
God damn, we’ve lost all ability to think critically.
I’ve had this discussion plenty of times here on lemmy. They didn’t want genocide Joe, so they got turbo genocide Donnie. They somehow didn’t realize that “no genocide” wasn’t on the menu, even not voting was making a choice.
Well, consequences haven’t waited long.
There is objectively a genocide occuring in Palestine, caused by Israel, against the Palestinian people. Even the UN says that it’s a genocide.
Israel also funded Hamas for years prior to the kidnappings. They used Hamas as an excuse, after years of funding them, to manufacture consent for their genocide against every Palestinian. Israel has even started operations in the West Bank following their “ceasefire” in Gaza. Proving that this is about the ethnic cleansing of every Palestinian within Palestine.
Doesn’t matter what I think, if it was genocide or not: they thought it was, and that not voting for biden/Harris was somehow going to help Gaza.
The Far Left told us they weren’t going to vote for “Genocide Joe”, and Democrat youth didn’t show up to vote.
BluEmAgA fucks post election: “Well AcKSHuLly, we were only a small voice, we couldn’t have thrown the election, everyone knows our speech can exist in a vacuum and not have any effect on the lurkers on any other platform.”
By the way, some Russians (if not most of them) are also voted for Trump. They escaped fascist dictatorship only to make a fascist dictatorship “at home” (in the US).
I think, people from (toxic) collectivistic cultures are mostly uneducated and they don’t realise what trauma/abuse did to them when they lived in their authoritarian (or democratic but poor and corrupt af) home country. Add do this a propaganda that is aimed, among other things, at Russians themselves abroad, that people among their acquaintances/social networks often spread it as word of mouth. They are easily deceived. And as the result, they continue to vote for such bastards who are capable of primitively manipulating people, even in democratic elections. Although, it cannot be ruled out that they choose those people in whom they see themselves, as in the case of Putin and some Russians (like ‘identitiy politics’ or something like that).
I don’t justify them, but I would not blame voters (although people should be held personally responsible for their actions and learn to think for themselves). In working democracy with respected rule of law though, there would be a way to remove those like Trump from office almost immediately or check the votes for possible manipulation. Look, how they did it in Romania recently:
- “Romanian presidential elections cancelled by constitutional court” - https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/romanian-presidential-elections-canceled-by-constitutional-court/
- “EU investigates TikTok over alleged Russian meddling in Romanian vote” - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2v13nz202o
If Trump became president and the country immediately collapsed, then the question arises whether checks and balances were fair before.

The stupidity of this election was off an scale. Shows how much dumb propaganda got spewed through X, Facebook, etc.
X, Facebook, etc.
Don’t forget all that bLuEmAGa, genocide joe, a voTe foR HaRRis iS a VoTe FoR GenOCiDe crap was even spilling on the Fediverse even
I dunno what you’re upset about. You’re getting the genocide and immigration crackdowns you voted for even though your preferred candidate didn’t win.
You’re even copying Trump’s rhetoric here in blaming the left, who has almost zero representation in government, for all the problems you see in the government.
Gotta watch those dangerous Latinas who push. What if they pushed the president? WHAT IF THEY PUSHED THE CONSTUTION?!?
Get in the gestapo’s way every chance you get.
WTF
