So you have been completely asleep and unaware of current events!
Because that has been happening in spades over the last 8 months.
Like, gratuitously. Or didn’t you hear about that person who was forcibly deported to El Salvador simply for having an Autism awareness tattoo? No crime. No danger to society. A solid, upstanding immigrant deported as a “violent member of a gang” because of a tattoo.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Turns out that over 94% of current deportees would never have been forcibly deported under normal conditions, because they have either no criminal record in he first place, or no convictions. After all, you cannot deport on a suspicion of criminality.
94%. That’s one insane jump. Sure looks like “guilty until proven innocent” to me!
Dude, you need to wake up and smell the fascism. Because it seems to me you have zero clue of just how far things have gone. Hell, when even experts in fascism have been fleeing America, that shit is happening.
