I keep seeing your comment implying, that because I have a problem with shooting people in the face, I am a Kristi Noem sympathiser. I’m not. Think before you put out hurtful garbage, Dorothea.
Back in the day, the government locked up a whole bunch of Mariel Cubans -- some who had come here from prison in Cuba, others who got into trouble here. They'd get them when they finished their sentences, but Cuba refused to take them back, so they just sat in indefinite detention because they couldn't be deported. Even the evil Reagan didn't think up a plan of just shipping them off to any old country they felt like.
Also, too, INS (in the days before ICE) had basically a number of detainees they could afford to house but the populatoin fluctuated when some were paroled into the US and replaced with others. At any given time, they would claim that the group they had locked up was the worst of the worst.
"Just take my word for it, they're MONSTERS." And people do take their word for it.
Oh, no, I didn't forget that. But what seemed to have triggered that was an announcement that Cuba had agreed to take back a certain number of them (but INS didn't tell them WHO was on the list).
Across the United States in immigration courts from New York to Seattle this week, Homeland Security officials are ramping up enforcement actions in what appears to be a coordinated dragnet testing out new legal levers deployed by President Donald Trump’s administration to carry out mass arrests.
While Trump campaigned on a pledge of mass removals of what he calls “illegals,” he’s struggled to carry out his plans amid a series of lawsuits, the refusal of some foreign governments to take back their nationals and a lack of detention facilities to house migrants.
Arrests are extremely rare in or immediately near immigration courts, which are run by the Justice Department. When they have occurred, it was usually because the individual was charged with a criminal offense or their asylum claim had been denied.
“All this is to accelerate detentions and expedite removals,” said immigration attorney Wilfredo Allen, who has represented migrants at the Miami court for decades.
Rule of thumb I learned from my father. When you do sneaky things in the dead of night, you are doing something you shouldn't be doing and it's probably something illegal. Full stop.
I favor just before daybreak to "help" some nearby residents trim their shrubs in the interest of traffic safety (being able to see cross traffic without creeping into the intersection).
Project 2025, folks. Remember how Trump feigned ignorance of it?
Habeus corpus is the Presidents right to remove people from this country.
-A vile puppy killer. KN.
What a sick twisted group this is.
Ta, Dok. This is, IMHO, a trial balloon (no pun intended) to start deporting those citizens That Thing in the Offal Office finds inconvenient.
Did Little Marco make another “Haha too late” tweet?
No. His latest MO is to feign ignorance.
He's not feigning it half the time.
True
"My, what a tiny jet you have..."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
After my usual depression this morning after reading about the latest atrocity, I needed this laugh. Thank you, kind Hank Napikin.
Might add to the better feelings:

Start holding the government’s attorneys in contempt. Jail plus fines of $50,000 per day. What’s the hold-up?
PAB will give them blanket pardons.
This may end up only being resolved by force.
I am beginning to think you are tight about that, and it is a terrifying thought.
Oh crap, I meant right, not tight.
"Constitutional crisis? You're soaking in it!"
Softens your hands while you do Fascism!
They are rushing shit because they know they will get curb stomped doing all this illegal shit. Pee Wee German isn't trying very hard.
"A new life awaits you in South Sudan! A chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure!"
Not even a blade runner's chance.
Arrest the Collagen Queen and if she resists, shoot her in the face. It'll make a mess, but justice demands it.
This an not an appropriate comment. We should be better than they are.
Unlike you, I have no patience for puppy killers.
I keep seeing your comment implying, that because I have a problem with shooting people in the face, I am a Kristi Noem sympathiser. I’m not. Think before you put out hurtful garbage, Dorothea.
GFY.
I agree. Anybody who would callously shoot a puppy for no valid reason and then brag about it publicly is not fit to live.
Charge these contempt of court assholes already!
Is there a valid reason why they can't/won't? If so, this enquiring mind wants to know.

I know who the monsters are.
Yep. The utter lack of self-awareness on display there is mind-blowing.
You may have forgotten the best part - that the Cubans who were indefinitely detained Burned. The. Fucking. Prison.

Nixon, Reagan...the evil crept up so slowly no one noticed in the days when we could just vote them out and trust that our votes were counted.
"Say goodnight to the bad guy!"
I can’t describe the hatred and derision I have towards this misbegotten administration.

It's like cops giving out more traffic tickets at the end of the month, only much worse.
That little fascist girlie is grotesque.
Oh, she's a lot worse than "grotesque" but the words for it haven't been invented yet.
