Worst part is that Shirley was going through the process of naturalization and working to be here legally. Through a process the military had put in place for just this exact kind of thing.
She had no criminal record, has been here for a decade, and has faithfully reported for her hearings. Not to mention she is gainfully employed.
Why the fuck are we wasting time and resources deporting this person?
Because America put a deranged convict into, what is arguably the most powerful position in the world. Congress won't challenge him, so he's running amok while his party turns a blind eye to the obvious human rights violations that are constantly happening.
The whole "worst of the worst" line for who that are deporting is, and always has been a lie. They just want POCs to suffer and die because they're Nazis.
Because suffering and fear is the point
The even sicker part is that there is an entire cult worth of brainwashed racists all sitting around a table afterwards congratulating eachother for making America ""safe"" and saving their country.
I could throw a plate.
