This was never about deporting criminals. It’s about Stephen Miller’s campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Tweet from Alex Tabarrok reads:
“Sergio Garcia, celebrated Chef who came to the US before ICE even existed. Deported after 36 years.
The picture tells you a lot about the decline of the Republican party.”
Attached photo shows Sergio Garcia standing with Laura and George W. Bush outdoors. The photo is signed: “To Sergio Garcia, With best wishes – George & Laura Bush.”

I’m pretty sure if we designed an assisted living facility to look like the WH and put lots of gold all over it and a ballroom with his late 70s playlist on a loop we could coax him in there and he wouldn’t know the difference. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Here are photos/news ledes for this!

They used Blackhawk helicopters in the dead of night.

They smashed down every door, tossed people's belongings, some reports claim the agents took things.

Took people out naked, separated adults from children, and put them into U-haul vans.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 18h

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Take a look at this Thread. There is furthering info in it.
Basic synopsis of the video:
A Presbyterian Reverend is calling to the agents on the roof. He is calling them to prayer and to join him at the Altar of God. Then, well...

Jack Jenkins @jackjenkins.me · 1d

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Lynn Attison @iamtherealjoan.bsky.social · 13h

And the Pastor kept asking God to Save Them! Sigh...

Lynn Attison @iamtherealjoan.bsky.social · 13h

Excellent advice.

Lynn Attison @iamtherealjoan.bsky.social · 13h

This reminds me of the horrible little boys, who will take a magnifying glass and focus the sun on ants. They/ICE/etc, think it is funny to hurt "things" they consider to be lesser than them. Evil tiny pricks.
I bet they claim to be Christian, too.

Yes, this past week, agents went into an apartment house. They came in the night. Bashed down doors. Had people strip naked, even the little children. Then they were zipped tied and thrown into moving trucks! Watch this pompous dick-of-a-man act like she is wrong.
SHE'S NOT WRONG!

Kat Abughazaleh @katmabu.bsky.social · 15h

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."
