People who are suddenly deported to countries they haven’t been to for years — or, in some cases, have NEVER been to — are incredibly vulnerable. We are going to be reading stories like this for years. God have mercy on their three little girls.

Can anyone with access to the Sunday Irish Independent get me functional access to this link? My library doesn't carry this, and my usual workaround isn't helping. Just want to see the poll results on Gaza. In the old days, we'd say #icanhazpdf ? www.independent.ie/irish-news/p...

"[ICE] is not law enforcement. [It] is a militia with a badge." - David Myers, retired commander, San Diego Sheriff's Office
I'm a former cop. ICE isn't law enforcement, it's a militia.ICE shootings in Houston and in Biddeford, Maine, are the predictable output of a federal agency that lacks training, oversight and a settled mission.www.yahoo.comPretty damning comparison. The Khmer Rouge were not exactly fans of intellectuals, science, or knowledge.
AAUPTrump is waging a “Khmer Rouge-esque war on American science & intellectual achievement writ large,” escalating the climate crisis while systematically gutting the research needed to predict, mitigate, & survive it. #academicsky

I cover asylum cases from Guatemala, and let me assure you this is very, very real
Matt OrtegaStephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

Text messages and videos obtained by the ACLU show that federal immigration agents who carried out last year’s raids in L.A. referred to Latinos with slurs such as “wet” (wetback) and “tonks,” reportedly derived from the sound a flashlight makes when hitting a migrant’s head.
Immigration agents used racial slurs referring to Latinos in text messages, video obtained by ACLUBody camera footage and forensically recovered texts, which provide a window into the mindset of agents who conducted raids throughout the L.A. area, were detailed in a 37-page motion for a preliminar...www.latimes.com

Ugh. Just awful. Unclear what happened here but the implication I get from the article is that they’d fallen into deep debt and maybe owed money to some very bad people. And once they’d been deported, paying that money back was probably very very hard.
