People with no criminal record have been widely targeted since the start of expanded ICE operations.
It was obvious it would happen. There aren’t nearly enough immigrants with a criminal record to meet Trump’s targets.
There aren’t enough immigrants to meet their targets.
Exactly. And them shooting and killing Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good wasn’t an accident. Eventually they were going to arrest and even kill white American citizens.
The neanderthal thugs they hired just skipped to the last part of the poem.
…by design.
Because you always need to keep escalating and broadening the definition of who’s not part of the protected in-group.
They are also less likely to fight back.
There are still a lot of people left that are at risk of voting in an undesirable way.
Yeah, even one our major networks tried to broadcast that half the people sent el Salvador in the first wave had no criminal record, and something like 3 people had a ever had a violent criminal act out of them all.
The Laken Riley Act was one of the early signs of what was to come. It “requires the detention, without bond, of non-citizens who are arrested for, charged with, or admit to committing certain crimes, including theft, burglary, larceny, shoplifting, assault on a law enforcement officer, or any crime resulting in death or serious bodily injury, such as drunk driving.” Yes this includes violent criminals, but from my interpretation it also would include someone accused of stealing a candy bar.
A lot of Democrats voted for it and I consider them collaborators.

It’s worse. Basically anything while getting (unlawfully) arrested can be constructed as “assault on a law enforcement officer”.
If the cops give conflicting or confusing directions, that’s resisting arrest. If you struggle at all when they throw you against a wall or to the ground, that’s assaulting an officer.
I don’t think any of these cosplayers are going to volunteer to go after hang members.
Duh. That’s the point of all this nonsense. Or did people think that those “mass deportation now” signs were just a a joke?
Or that a complete jerkoff like Stephen Miller who has hated immigrants since he was practically a zygote was going to only get the “bad” ones?
Also, once they cannot find enough foreigners, it’s not like ICE is going to just disband or anything.
People keep telling me it’s overly dramatic but I’m going to keep calling this campaign an ethnic cleansing until proven otherwise.
Not only is that the effect of what is happening it is the stated intent. Whether they succeed or not, an ethnic cleansing is what they are trying to do and its what their voters wanted.
The path to
fascismconcentration camps is paved with people telling you you’re overreactingIt’s probably the same gaslighting douchebags that were saying overturning Roe v Wade was “just” reverting the decision to the states and that calling them Gilead States was just overreacting and being hysterical, etc.
That’s the point of all this nonsense.
It makes the racists cheer and keep voting for those idiots, so they can keep up the grift. The stories about only targeting the “bad ones” was never more than a fig leaf until the discussion has moved so far to right-wing extremism (or censorship and persecution of diverging opinions is established well enough) that they can drop the act.
66,000 people are now in ICE custody.
An entire city’s worth of people, the vast majority of whom have committed no crime save being born on the wrong side of the border, have had their lives broken and their future put into stasis.
66,000 families are wondering if their loved ones will ever go free. Wondering if they’re being beaten, starved, raped, or just disappeared. And in many cases, wondering where they are, because ICE has whisked them away and won’t reveal their location.
There is no justification for this cruelty, and there is no justice in a system that allows this inhumanity.
Until we stand up, disband ICE, prosecute and convict their leaders and agents for crimes against humanity, America will never be the land of the free.
An entire city’s worth of people
At some point it will be easier and more efficient to house them in camps in centralized locations where the ressources (and people) can be better concentrated…
They’ve changed their tactics to draw less media attention, but Mullin has the same marching orders as Noem, with a huge and utterly arbitrary quota because Trump is both cruel and stupid.
Reminder that ICE agents are traitors to the United States of America that execute American citizens in the street 1,500 miles from the border.
Are the US citizens being swept up in this fascist crap being charged with crimes? If so, then every one arrested will end up being unable vote in the coming elections at the very least. I wonder if that might be part of the plan.
Also, people with valid visas.
They were waiting for parents putting their kids on the school bus yesterday.
