Donald Trump continues to run his politics on trying to stamp out migrants from coming to America….
That is on a illegal immigration AND legal immigration….
We have detention camps that are inhuman….
Trump’s plan for purges will only make things worst…
Donald Trump doesn’t give a shit…..
Immigration is a dirty word in his world….
President Trump said his administration will move forward “fairly soon” with a plan to arrest thousands of migrant families in surprise roundups across major U.S. cities, with the two-week deadline he imposed on Democrats coming up on Saturday.
Trump tipped off the mass arrests in a June 17 tweet, vowing “millions” of deportations, but called them off five days later. The president tweeted that he delayed the raids for two weeks at Democrats’ request, “to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border.”
“If not,” he wrote , “Deportations start!”
Trump’s threats have left immigrants living in the United States illegally in a fog of dread, putting neighborhoods on edge and making residents fear venturing outside.
Eva, who works at a plant nursery in Homestead, Fla., said she has stopped going to the park and makes trips to the grocery store every few weeks.
“I don’t know when I leave in the morning if I’ll come home in the night,” said Eva, who arrived illegally 19 years ago from Mexico and whose teen daughter is a U.S. citizen.
“They could come and get me at any time,” she said, asking for her last name to be withheld for fear it could help ICE find her.
In addition to many lawmakers being out of town and the deadline for congressional action expiring this weekend, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is in transition: Many supervisors and agents have been on vacation for the July 4 holiday, and the current acting head, Mark Morgan, is leaving to start a new job Monday as the acting chief of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Carol Danko, a spokesperson for ICE, declined to discuss the agency’s plans.
“ICE does not comment on sensitive law enforcement operations,” she said.
The president did exactly that, though, in his June 17 tweet advertising mass arrests he said would start the following week. Operational details of the plan began leaking out and circulating on Capitol Hill soon after.
White House aides and Homeland Security officials were frustrated that the president put ICE’s plans on Twitter, prompting concerns that the operation’s blown cover diminished its chances for success and jeopardized the safety of federal agents. Administration officials said it was the uproar that followed — not a potential deal with House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — that led to the operation’s delay….

As someone who has legitimately held a green card since arriving in New York on Christmas Eve 1960 (and as someone who’s made several pledges to uphold and defend the Constitution), I was upset—but hardly very surprised—when Pres. Trump replied to a query about the putative Citizenship question on the 2020 Census. He asked why it wouldn’t be important to know if someone is a citizen or (pause) an illegal.
Shows how what he really feels when he doesn’t take the trouble to think. How many times have we heard this Administration and Donald Trump before his election contrast those who entered the country without permission with the good people who were entering in the proper, legal way ?
The Constitution requires that ‘all persons’ be counted….
Trump is using the American government to rid America of ‘aliens’….
Update…
The Trump administration’s top official at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said immigration authorities are ready to identify, detain and eventually deport approximately one million undocumented immigrants with pending removal orders. ….
CBS News….
…
Ok…
WTF are they gonna put them?
They can’t handle what they have on the border ALREADY….
Something tells me they ain’t gonna do a MILLION….
But they SURE CAN scare a LOT of people…
And provide cover media for the citizen question on the census, eh?
That official is Ken Cuccinelli,the former AG of Va. who lost his bid for Gov.
Cuccinelli has all sorts of extreme Right Wing views.Now he’s going to deport a million people eh?
Not only he is a nut job…he’s damn delusional.
You know?
It’s almost like there are TWO US Governments…
The civil servants….
The political contigent….
The civil servants are trying to do things on a reality level…
The political lackies trying to do Trump’s bidding even if it might be illegal…
God bless the Federal judges and the courts that ARE a break on some of Trump crazy assed stuff…
The right-wing “Real” news picked up on that years ago — ever hear of the Deep State ?
Along with Trump’s STRONG political ‘shadow’ government is LESS people in place and those their NOT confirmed by the US senate…..
I first heard of Ken Cuccinelli, when as A-G of Va, he led a dozen or two state attornies-general suing the Federal Government to cancel the mandate for states to expand Medicate.
That was a long shot, but I think that they won (or else Trump’s dismantling of the ACA made that unnecessary).
