This is all part of Trumps strategy to create disfunction in U.S. immigration courts.

russias filtration camp, who do you think trump, heritage, gop got thier ideas from.

[–] shapeofthings@piefed.ca 34 points 11 hours ago

It's insane that the government is doing this to circumvent the law... It's absolutely barbaric, and completely unimaginable before Trump.

As far as I am concerned, every person or entity with a paid x account is actively participating in CSAM.

ICE are child traffickers.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 4 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Oddly enough, I was wondering what else they're doing to those children, during and after detention.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

All the evidence is there. Means, motive, opportunity. It's unconscionable that there is no restraint or oversight on any of this.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 7 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

For real. This administration is full of pedos. Shit is beyond fucked.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

its also the ceos, politicians from other countries, billionaires HOLLYWOOD executives.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's not just the current admin.

[–] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 3 points 8 hours ago

Let's not sink to whataboutism.

The current administration made a huge thing about being protectors of children.

Remember when Texas was sending busloads of migrants north to sanctuary cities?

Yes. This is literally fascist soldiers invading bordering states and capturing people. This isn't enforcement, these are barbarian raids, and we need to start responding to them as such.

What we have learned from this is that ALL of the state, county, and municipal police and military assets are entirely useless at actually protecting the people of the state. The are nothing more than public money cash grabs intended to offset the cost of corporate security to the tax payers. They don't work for us, so lets stop paying for it and replace this shit with something that does.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 8 hours ago

ITS like how the nazis were kidnapping "aryan" looking children.

[–] 7101334@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Thing is, when you "stop paying for it", you'll learn quickly what the actual function of those institutions is.

We need to reach a critical mass to where opting out, collectively, does more harm than they're able or willing to tolerate. I thought for a long time we couldn't reach it without improving the education system... which requires working within the system... which requires selling your soul, endorsing genocide, etc. But now I'm starting to question that - maybe we can grassroots it after all.

My concern is that the momentum in that direction will be squashed when Democrats inevitably get elected over Republicans (because I don't think they have the political capital to pull of a coup at this point), as liberals will think they "won" because now the deportations are less in-your-face and the genocide is presented less in terms of "FUCK YEAH GLASS THE DESERT" and instead presented as "well it's terrible, so terrible, very sad, but Israel is our ally.."

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 8 points 17 hours ago

Yeah, I think you are likely right about the outcome here. The sad thing is that the ENTIRE ICE/BP bullshit is literally just Trump trying to beat Biden and Obama's deportation numbers but being too stupid to do it in a way that doesn't make it look as horrible as it is, and most of the tools he is using to DO that horrible shit are tools that were put into place by Democratic administrations. The Democrats are no friends to the immigrant and simply shifting to their authority won't do anything but make it easier for white people to ignore what is happening.

Why? It's not like ICE adheres to court orders or the law anyway ...

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 31 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

They are trafficking children like they did during the Family Separation debacle. The pretty ones get sold to sex slavers, the rest get sold as house slaves to Oligarchs. Anybody that causes trouble gets sent on a camping trip to the Everglades.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 9 hours ago

Or Texas, Montana, and I believe I read South Dakota.

[–] Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 16 points 19 hours ago (5 children)

Have to make it the law that ICE transfers cross state can't happen for 7 full days or something.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

What the fuck? It's already the law not to do this at all, and also NOT TO IGNORE FUCKING COURT ORDERS. Like, are you making jokes?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 44 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

If laws were enforced in the first place, we wouldn't be in this mess.

[–] Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Laws kind of still are, it's just that immigration law today in the US is completely arbitrary. That's why they can bring people in with legitimate asylum claims, initially clear them and give them TPS, then simply deny them after the fact and put them on a plane and deport them within a couple of days of holding in southern shithole states where private operators make boatloads of cash working with the process.

I have sat down with a final interview with a USCIS officer less than a year ago. We were terrified that the conditional green card would be revoked (had spent something like two years applying to have the condition removed, the interview for naturalization came first.) We were terrified that they would simply be taken right then and there, but somehow it was simply "recommended for citizenship" and just a few short terrifying weeks of 'invalid certificate of naturalization' back and forth mailing on a passport application later and an extra visit to have them re-do the mistake at USCIS later, they got their passport and we feel mostly safe.

For some reason we as a nation are pretending like Afganistan, Haiti, Somalia and Venezuela are safe countries and that the people who have come here to try and escape persecution, rape and death are not under real threat. It's mind blowing and probably a violation of international law... but still the majority of those that elected this administration are cheering for this. The opposition party has no influence or power to stop it and all the protests in the world by the left won't stop this. Nothing really can change until midterms if the democrats or independents pull a miracle and win in tons of red districts.

The cherry on top is that tons and TONS of latin american immigrants are highly conservative and completely for this. I know several and it's just completely insane. If they did the process the "right way" by marrying a citizen or winning the lottery they act like they somehow deserve it any more than the next one.

Since i'm already well into my soap box... the fear and intimidation tactics are wholly unnecessary, and they're still only deporting twice as many as Obama despite pouring billions of dollars into this. Minnesota and Greenland have all just smoke and mirrors to distract us from the trumpstein files imo. There's enough there to cause serious damage but the news cycle has wholly ignored them all of January. I think a lot of this shit is planned out well in advance from a high level, but trying to prove that is like trying to convince a faithful person that religion is a lie.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Laws are enforced on the powerless, not the powerful.

SUUUUUPER Hot Take: The PSTD and Trauma is the price to pay for being prematurely evacuated from the impending Sahara sized food desert that will encompass the USA before 2030. (Sorry morbid humour is my coping mechanism)

I'm being HELLA-facetious here. Like it's ultra fucked up what they're doing.

But like America is FUCKED. >70% of the food is ultra processed. Of that remaining 30% over half of that is imported from regions that are experiencing agriculture interrupting climate change.

There is going to be massive food scarcity and malnutrition on levels that even Great Depression survivors have never experienced.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 35 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

From here in Canada it looks a lot like, instead of governing responsibly, the USA is burning up its own land in the expectation that when things get tough it can just take ours.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Well, there is the argument that a lot of aggressive actions by the Third Reich were in part an attempt to keep their economy from collapsing after blowing everything on the military.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 20 points 21 hours ago

That's exactly what it feels like!

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The US produces so much food that it's people do not eat. We grow corn to turn into shitty fuel, or to feed to cows in another country. And we also grow soybeans to feed to Chinese farm animals. Millions of tons of food get shipped away

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

And we also grow soybeans to feed to Chinese farm animals

Well, not any more.

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 1 points 41 minutes ago

That's why they were grown. Also China did end up buying the 12mm tons it promised to in the last couple of weeks.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 17 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (3 children)

I fled the US and definitely have both of those things.

People in the US don't (or do) realize how much collective trauma we've all endured. Any time a car backfires in a crowded area, the resulting stampede makes the news. People don't generally live like that in other countries.
