Mark my words, these types of things are about to become increasingly more common at a rapid rate.
{Looks left then right}…pretty sure we’re there already.
I know shit's already bad, but I have a sneaking feeling it'll get so much worse.
The cases we hear about? Sure. The others… who knows how many cases happened without media attention for each ones that gets some attention.
Trumps version of an only white America is appalling. Jail Trump.
Better yet, let's send him to El Salvador.
Rapist and felon. He belongs there.
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?
Yep.
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
I hope he fucking sues the FUCK out of the county for wrongful imprisonment.
PLEASE let this man get a pay out!
