#undocumented

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

So, I play a lot of #ScrabbleGo . An unhealthy amount, probably, but that isn't what I'm writing for. Starting yesterday, the ever-present and usually completely ignorable #ads were at least 50% replaced by #DHS ads featuring #KristiNoem in poorly dubbed #Spanish, telling people to #SelfDeport. As obscenely evil as this is, being directed at #DocumentedImmigrants as much as #Undocumented, I took pleasure in the stupid waste of money it is. How many blue collar #Latine immigrants play #Scrabble ?

Continued thread

The #postal #collaboration is a significant escalation in the #Trump admin’s #immigration *crackdown*. #DHS officials [& #Musk’s #DOGE] have previously partnered with #tax, #housing & #PublicHealth authorities. But the involvement of the Postal Inspection Service, the nation’s oldest #LawEnforcement agency, means efforts to pursue #undocumented #immigrants have expanded into one of the most mundane govt activities: delivering the #mail.

Continued thread

The #LawEnforcement arm of #USPS has begun cooperating w/federal #immigration ofcls to locate people suspected of being in the country illegally, acc/to 2 people familiar… & documents obtained by WaPo—dramatically broadening the scope of #Trump’s #MassDeportations campaign.

#US #Postal Inspection Service, a police & investigative force for the #mail agency, joined a #DHS task force geared toward finding, detaining & deporting #undocumented #immigrants….

WTAF?!?!?

#HumanRights Watch reported in 2023 that #Saudi border guards used explosive weapons & gunfire to kill hundreds of Ethiopian migrants, including women & children, trying to cross the border. A Saudi ofcl rejected the report.

#SaudiArabia, the world's biggest #oil exporter, has tried for years to reduce the number of #undocumented migrants entering & working there, often in low-paid jobs. UN studies have shown it is home to an estimated 750k #Ethiopians.

Continued thread

In 2001, #Durbin introduced the #DreamAct w/Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), in an effort to create a path to #citizenship for younger #undocumented #immigrants who had been brought to the US as children. It never became #law, but it laid the foundation for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals [#DACA] program, which was announced by President #Obama in 2012 & protected hundreds of thousands of immigrants from #deportation. #Trump has tried to end the program, & it remains under legal threat.

Continued thread

#Durbin’s departure will reverberate in the #Senate, where he played a prominent role on a host of big issues & was considered a forceful advocate of party positions. He was among the first to push for a path to #citizenship for some #undocumented immigrants brought to the #UnitedStates illegally as children, a group that came to be known as #Dreamers that became the focal point of successive failed efforts to overhaul #immigration laws.

not everyone should be given a trial #Trump #StephenMiller

#MAGA seems to be so concerned on NUMBERS, the numbers _they_ are interested in

The 900k #RussianTroops troops killed and wonded, is not a number that they see 😵
The millions of #undocumented and the billions of USD, is not a number they see 🤑
The number of #climatecrisis events, is not a number they see 🥵
etc etc etc

@MHowell Thx Led by fools 4 boost

Mad orange Nazi says he wants to send people with mental health disorders who commit violent crimes to prisons in El Salvador. "They need to be taken out “ its legit a quote from him.. 😔
In Nazi Germany the mentally ill were the first to be exterminated.
They are more likely to be the victims of violent crimes not the perpetrators.

Okay yeah so this is happening, so much for taking a #MentalHealth break I guess …

#IRS Chief & others resign after #data-sharing deal w/ #ICE

The acting head of the Internal Revenue Service is stepping down, per 3 people familiar…, after the agency agreed to share #undocumented migrants’ #tax #information with #Immigration & Customs Enforcement, a fundamental change in how the tax collector uses its tightly regulated records.

Why?

The Trump Admin deported a 10 yr old girl recovering from #BrainCancer along w/ 5 of her siblings & her parents. The girl & four of her siblings are United States citizens while the parents are undocumented. #Immigration authorities removed the young girl & her 4 American siblings from Texas, when their #undocumented parents were deported to #Mexico. Now, the family fears that the disruption in her medical care could have life-threatening consequences
