@KimPerales
They promised their #Cult they would deport 12M "illegals" (which later became 8M "gang members".)

'cept there AREN'T "8M #illegal #immigrant #gang members". So they just started #deporting anyone arrested for SUSPICION of being in a gang (to meet their quota.) Rather than "hunt" them, they just sent ICE to the local jails.

They've run out of jails, so now they are going after the low-hanging fruit of (otherwise law-abiding) people showing up for their immigration hearings. 🤬

FYI this is some kerazy f⁕⚠︎ed up shit

#Threats against #judges & their #families “are ultimately threats to constitutional government. It’s as simple as that,”US Circuit Judge Richard Sullivan, chair of a #security cmte for the federal #judiciary’s policy arm, said.
The judiciary has emerged as a powerful constraint on a range of #Trump’s initiatives, from dismantling #FederalAgencies to #deporting migrants & targeting #LawFirms. As Trump defies court orders, #legal scholars warn the country may already be in a #ConstitutionalCrisis

Continued thread

When US District #Judge James #Boasberg ruled in April that #Trump admin officials could face #criminal #contempt charges for #deporting migrants in defiance of a #CourtOrder, the blowback was immediate.

Trump’s supporters unleashed a wave of #threats & menacing posts. And they didn’t just target the judge. Some attacked Boasberg’s brother. Others blasted his daughter. Some demanded the #family’s arrest – or #execution.

@heidilifeldman
I've been watching the legal "stuff" around #deporting and #kidnapping in the US.

I'm confused;

Isn't there a simple law that says "a #citizen of the #USA may not be forced to leave the country by anyone for any reason at any time."
If this is an important law and elected leader acts above the law then #impeach leader immediately on the first attempt to violate the #law.

show some respect for rule of law.

If there isnt one, why isnt there one being written right now.

#TheOrangeMenace ran on promising his terrified hoards that he would protect them by #deporting "violent criminals & gang members who are in the country illegally", but INSTEAD #NaziDon's Gestapo have been going after the low-hanging fruit of people in the country LEGALLY but showing up for their immigration hearings or at college protests. 🤬

MSNBC · Trump's authoritarian push stumbles as resistance diversifies and growsBy MSNBC

THINK ABOUT THIS:

*Even if* you agree with #TheOrangeMenace about #deporting "criminals" ("drug dealers, murderers, rapists") who are in the country illegally...

WHY would you focus on people WHO ARE TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING BY PAYING THEIR TAXES (despite knowing they won't receive a dime in benefits) simply b/c they believe "It's the right thing to do"?

Of all the low-hanging-fruit of people to target, this would indeed be the lowest of the low. 🤬 msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/

I feel like throwing an eraser at these sleeping #influencers like one of my professors did at #HowardU BITD. Hello? Have you been paying attention? The current #fascist #lawless regime is, whelp, #lawless. They are busy #deporting #legalimmigrants & threatening to #deport #citizens. They have illegally fired #civilservants. Why would they, on god's green earth, be constrained by #international #treaties and #IARU agreements or listen to suggestions from #hams?

Per NBC 👀

With the incoming #Trump administration looking to prioritize #deporting Chinese nationals, citing security concerns, many undocumented #Chinese men say they couldn’t feel further afield from the reasoning behind the potential policy — that Trump thinks they’re assembling an army. But, having fled their homeland because of political persecution, or uprooted their lives for better economic opportunities, many undocumented Chinese men reject the idea.

Unfreakinbelievable. #ThePurge

HAVE I MENTIONED IN THE LAST TEN MINUTES HOW MUCH I *DESPISE* THESE PEOPLE?

#ThisWeek just had on token black #Conservative #MAGAt Byron Donalds who defended #OrangeHitler's plan to #deport over 12 Million "#illegals" (and how much they are costing the country.)

And when host Martha Raddatz points out all the labor jobs they perform, he insists that #deporting THEM "will SAVE us SO much money" that it will save us the cost of deporting them. 🤦‍♂️ #WeAreSoScrewed #TooStupidForPolitics
