I understand that they’ve got a job to do, immigration, but I just feel like he was specifically targeted because of what’s going on where he’s from, his home country,
Isn't that true for most of the immigrants

And she's voting Republican again!
Leopards: "NomNom"
It amazes me that these articles keep appearing and the Democrats are unable to leverage this into votes. Writing these people as stupid is useless. We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.
You cannot leverage this into votes. You regularly read "Trump killed my business/sent my spouse to Neverland/whatever, but I will vote for him again!". Those people can't be helped.

Not for lack of trying. Harris made repeated trips down to the boarder to play "Tough On Crime" dress-up for the conservatives. She even did the famous Do Not Come speech, aimed at Guatemalan migrants fleeing their own domestic (US sponsored) ethnic cleansing.
You'd think folks obsessed with "border security" would love Democrats, given how regularly they advance bills to harden and militarize the border. Unless of course... this isn't about "security" at all. It is about white supremacy and the consolidation of power within a single ethno-nationalist party.
In that case, why on earth would white nationalists side with a party full of non-white people? Why do Democrats spend so much time and money and man-hours attempting to court their vote, while spending even more time and money and man-hours alienating the votes of people of color and left-liberal migrant families?

Harris failed not because of her policies, but because she never was willing to sincerely differentiate herself from a Democratic party who continued to put themselves and their donors ahead of the average citizen.
Trump blew up the Republican party and it was a breathe of fresh air for a Washington full of their own self interest.
Its faaaaaar less about policies. It about an actual vision and authenticity. For as shitty as it is, Trump has this and Harris didn't. This is leverage.
Edit: I wholly agree with the white supremecy undercurrent. But this isn't new.
the establishment in the Democratic party isn't interested in winning.
They want to win. They just don't want to have to change to do so.
BREAKING NEWS! This Just In!
"Republicans are shocked at any one at any time being detained indefinitely after intentionally empowering and assembling a large militant force who operates purely extrajudicially without due process. We've got Tom live on the scene to ask one of them about this development, Tom?"
"Tell the camera what you just told me a moment ago, please."
"Well I don't think that's what due process means, they still go to see an immigration court, don't they?"
"No."
"Well, they should."
"Maybe you should vote for somebody who makes that happen."
"Like Donald Trump?"
"Wrong again."
I am in constant awe of how these people are incapable of pointing the finger towards the issue here.
I am aware that maga is a cult, but we have reached the point where Trump and the Republicans are openly, brazenly committing acts that their own supporters disagree with. How much more obvious does the situation need to become before people start placing the blame where it belongs?
It won't be obvious ever to these people, because their reality is only what they and their associates see in FOX News. That they don't get concerned by what is happening is because they never hear or see what is happening.
Just as bad, a lot of people on both sides are pointing the finger at Democrats.
It's pretty easy to get blindsided by things when you've got your head up your own arse.

She was blind and now she can see. I'm sure she still isn't seeing the whole picture.
The good old “he’s not hurting the right people”
Absolutely zero empathy …. 🫂
Some peopple just don't want glasses.
"Stupid is as stupid does". The failure of the US education system and rising social media bias are having a Darwinian effect
this is like burning women at the stake and laughing that some spectators got hit by a hot ember. saying that he deserves it.
they punishment that they deserve is nothing in comparison to what they get.
and the pain they are recieving is inconsequential compared to the one they are causing
Nobody here is glad these things are happening. They tried very hard to stop it and got a collective "fuck you" from the rest of the country. All of them would rather Trump be stripped of his power than have a MAGA deported, but seeing as that's not going to happen...
yhea, I know,
it's just that "leopards ate my face" is not even close to what is happening, more like leopard cub slightly scratched my face.
we voted for a racist ethnic cleansing, and now I lost some workers I pay below minimum wage :( or a maga that was also an immigrant but supported ethnic cleansing also got detained :(
Good ol' Donnie fixing the US by kicking people like this mother fucker out.
I have no sympathy left for people voting for their own pain.
Easiest breakup ever. Masterfully done! /s
I thought the threat was Iranian nuclear ICBMs, which they don't have. Looks like the threat is inside the room.
I read "blindfolded" at first and wasn't even the slightest bit surprised
Oh noez! Anyway…
