      Mark my words, these types of things are about to become increasingly more common at a rapid rate.

          I know shit’s already bad, but I have a sneaking feeling it’ll get so much worse.

      It won’t remain targeting just non-whites for very long.

        And once they push for “checks at the border” and remind folks 100 miles of margin is the “border”…. Lots of people will have daily “papers please” checks.

          I mean, like the article says, sounds like they are not interested in papers. We know they don’t care about trials, either.

          Don’t they count airports with international flights as borders for the 100 mile rule, as well?

              I was unaware of what you were talking about so I gave it a quick Google.

              Holy shit

    I’m waiting for this to happen to a white parson who has an Hispanic name, like Rafael “Ted” Cruz.

    If a journalist can do a human interest piece on a white parson sent to El Salvador or at least sent into the ICE black hole where the rule of law doesn’t exist, maybe that would drive the point home to “libertarians” and “small government conservatives.” Maybe it’s time to see past petty racism and see what’s at stake in the long term.

      It won’t. But it’ll probably happen to a “liberal terrorist.” I expect the lack of consequences will make mundane things like organizing a one-way ticket to a nazi prison.

    If you see ICE It’s the moral and ethical decision to run them over with your car.

    The point is not to keep us safe from criminals but to remind us that no one is safe from Trump’s carnage
