Immigration court arrests are likely going to continue this week, with dozens of people around the country each day who were doing exactly what the government asked being arrested and thrown in detention and stripped of their right to a hearing because ICE wants to juice the numbers.

A Bronx high schooler showed up for a routine immigration court date. ICE was waiting.

How is this protecting the border, going after these law-abiding residents?

Remember how they said they just wanted immigrants to do it “the right way”. Well now they are detaining and deporting people doing just that. Doesn’t exactly incentivize people to follow the process when that’s where it leads.

Xenophobia has never been based in reason. Same as every prejudice.
The political police of the generations-long, European right-wing dictatorship I was born under started as border/migration control, trained w/ the Gestapo.

So either ICE are incompetent and lazy, or there aren’t enough “illegals” to deport. Or both.
PS Asylum seekers are “legals” who are following the law.

It is ironic that ICE is preying on people who are obeying the law.

The people being thrown out are far better than the law-breaking, unprincipled, soulless people doing the arresting.

Knew this was going to happen. Trump administration doesn't care as long as those numbers are high and following the law is not even in the conversation.

If they arrest them before the hearing, then the immigrant hasn't appeared as required, thereby removing their legal status, which would require them to be arrested.

NKVD, KGB, Gestapo, ICE - they all were driven by the need to get the numbers of arrests up.

The beauty of it is that when people don’t show up for hearings, they can be declared illegal and subject to snatching off the street. It’s a win-win for evil.

What doesn't President Dummy understand about the fact that we are a nation of immigrants and always have been?

Because he doesn't like immigrants. This is not news to anyone who has heard Trump over the decades. He was at a congressional hearing in the 80s or 90s... and he was arguing against Indian casinos saying racist things then too.
The man can't even talk with multi-syllable words.

I doubt he likes them much either. He sees them more as "you can give me babies" type.

I wish Western mainstream media spent more time helping people understand xenophobia than spreading it.

THREAD. A lot of attention is rightly going to Medicaid cuts and other very bad things in Trump's bill passed by the House, but there's something else that isn't getting enough attention, that is very difficult to find in any news coverage, but that will fundamentally alter life for all of us.

It’s a perversion of justice but, as with everything trump, it’s always about the ‘ratings’.

Trump and Miller want to see those arrest skyrocket-they MUST make good on those boastful promises made during Trumps 2nd campaign. So, they’ll arrest even the law abiding ppl who are doing everything by the book!
Trump & Miller rigged the system-they get arrested either way...no reason required!

Nope, terrorizing innocent people is deliberate. Nobody walking into those courts will know if it’s a trap or not. They will just quit trying to stay here.

I had scary dream decades ago as we started seeing produce from Mexico, n other countries in the stores.
The dream was that other countries got mad at us and stopped sending us food and we went hungry. Killed us off without firing a shot.
Dreams do come true .
no farm labor =no food.
