Summary

The Trump administration plans to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s war, fast-tracking them for deportation.

The move is part of a broader effort to strip protections from 1.8 million migrants admitted under Biden’s humanitarian parole programs.

Trump’s policies also target 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Legal challenges are mounting, as affected individuals face uncertain futures. Advocates warn that even U.S. allies, such as Afghans who assisted the military, are now at risk of detention and deportation.

What's his fucking issue with Ukrainians? Is it all about the time when Zelenski didn't help him produce dirt on Hunter Biden? There is around a million of Ukrainians in Poland right now and crime related incidents involving them are rare. They are a net benefit to society. A million more tax payers. Unfortunately due to incompatibility of their education system and slight language barrier they do jobs below their education level but their contribution is undisputable. Quick influx of them hastened problems with housing affordability in largest cities but it's not their fault that the government has no strategy to combat high housing prices, without them the situation would still arise but a couple years later. I'll take 240k more Ukrainian immigrants than 240k American tourists anytime.

Not sure how Republicans are able to rationalize how expelling these specific individuals makes America any better or fixes literally any of it's problems.

This is just petty retaliation.

[–] see_i_did@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

I think they rationalize it quite easily, just like all the other garbage that’s ok as long as it’s one of their own.

I wonder where they will go. Their homes in Ukraine are probably destroyed.

This is evil. The US needs an armed resistance at this point having said that there is no organization, there is no structure or any groups that I know of to join. Individuals acting on their own won't do much, who are people supposed to go after? Where do you find them, how do you achieve the goal? These questions are much more easily answered with an organized resistance. If my country is going to go down this route we have to have this in place first. Until this happens I wouldn't expect much from the people in the US who want to go this route because they want to be able to make a meaningful impact not just become mass shooters hopefully taking down the right people.

Not that it helps organize, but I also work at a custom AR shop, if lemmings have questions about firearms I’d be happy to assist.

Sometimes I feel like I was the only one who remembered that this is what it was like the last time he was in office. Just every day some fresh hell, like a treadmill of anger and grief until the only real reason to protest is so that they don't drive you permanently numb.

The scope of this new order is hard to contemplate. 0.77 million people who are being shown the door today. Our colossus is in need of a new credo.

“Give me your billionaires, your oligarchs, Your hunched war criminals yearning for the Lolita Express, The wretched refuse of your banking sectors. Send these, the landlords, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden arches!"

Edit to add: I know that it is currently only a plan. I do not need to bicker with anyone about this.

[–] Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 44 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (11 children)

Im not American so I probably didn't see a lot of this but my lasting impression was a lot of blustering and shit slinging but no real action or substance. Like everything he tried or promised either didn't get done or was half arsed. Basically i saw it as incompetence and damage through inaction rather than the malicious active damage he is doing now.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 62 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You are partially right. For US Presidents, implementing policy is much harder than declaring it, something IIRC Bush and Obama echoed.

But on top of that, Trump had a lot of guardrails in the first term, a lot of old school Republicans and “regular” cabinet that watered down whatever ideas he had.

That is no longer the case. It's only loyalists egging each other on now. And there’s already a lot more bite, it’s just so much that it’s hard to process.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 31 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

He did a huge amount of harm to our government. Not quite like this time, where most of what he is doing is outright illegal and is essentially a soft coup, but really bad nonetheless - just mostly aimed at making him money and getting/keeping political power instead of destryoying the country. Much of that was outright illegal, but a lot of it was just breaches of "norms" and "decorum".

I literally can't fit it all into one comment, its so much and such a convoluted web of schemes and lies and crimes and support from other politicians/lawyers/the media. And every day was something new. I followed all the legal cases relating to his admin back in the first term - it was hard to keep up with even while it was all happening. Much of the reason he was never charged or indicted for so much of what he did is that you can't criminally indict a sitting president.

The Mueller investigation into the Trump administration's conduct with Russian political operatives found that he more than likely illegally colluded with Russia to the detriment of the US and to defraud and disenfranchise voters, but literally couldn't charge Trump since he was a sitting president - hoping instead that someone would pick up the investigation when he could be charged. It is notable that that investigation produced 37 indictments and 7 convictions/guilty pleas, referred 14 more cases to DoJ for prosecution, and recovered like $48M in misappropriated government funds (the investigation cost $32M, so it was actually profitable). So, this investigation couldn't prosecute Trump, but 34 people in his administration were indicted and the findings of the report suggested they would have prosecuted Trump if they were legally allowed to. That says all you need to know, IMO.

Not being able to indict a sitting president is the biggest bullshit policy of all time. Nobody should be above the law, especially the people in power.

The ICE fucks who are ordered to arrest Ukrainians here fleeing wartime (children, mothers, elderly) better fucking resign and/or blatantly refuse this shit. If not, these traitors should be executed right along with trump and vance.

Good people don't become and remain any sort of unlawful enforcement officer. ACAC. All Cops Are Criminals.

I’m a Latino and I’ve always seen ice as the Gestapo of your country, I’m glad everyone else is seeing it. Ice has been a hellhole where the most evil and destructive humans end up working from its beginning.

This traitor is destroying all our allegiances. In a single month.

It's time for America to accept that we have placed a literal traitor in the highest office.

And it's time for us to man the fuck up and start adhering to our fucking Constitution. We're letting a felon rapist traitor fuck our future.

[–] s0upybl00per@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (8 children)

Who’s going to do it? All I see is a bunch of internet talk. There’s no leadership. Just a bunch of ppl scared and posting online or emailing/calling senators. We especially need straight white men standing up. The dem paddle holding was just pathetic.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmings.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Talk eventually becomes action, if there is enough of it. By people agreeing with each other, they eventually normalize a thought. It could be something mundane like "this drawn girl is cute", and eventually snowball into "Last night's Hatsune Miku concert was rad, met twenty other cosplayers!"

Let people talk. It how communities become real.

I remember hearing Trump's foreign policy described as "isolationist."

He's not an isolationist.

He's on Russia's side.

I would prefer if he were an isolationist.

So at this point it's not even illegals but those that have gone through the effort to obtain status. What the actual fuck.

[–] Lemmist@lemm.ee 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, in this case, why not just deport Trump?

What. The. Fuck. He's throwing all his toys out of the pram to get the minerals. That's all this is. He's a toddler screaming himself purple, being dragged out of the store.

[–] uienia@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

He doesn't give a fuck about the minerals. This is all Putin's bidding. Zelensky never had a deal, and Traitor Trump never intended to honour it. Next up is the dismantling of NATO, which is already partially done.

Imagine there are still people who chose to go to USA voluntarily?

Will Americans really still just look on and do nothing while the Trump administration is tearing the country apart?

It's fascism by ethnic cleansing. Expect a looooooot more. The pedo wants a 3rd world war and it will happen. He's starting by Canada because he thinks it's an easy target, but also because it's the perfect battleground to display his army's power. Unfortunately, americans are too lazy and under-educated to do anything about it so expect a lot of blood and a lot of fat-ass patriotism because "war time". But in the end, only the rich assholes will be protected because capitalism gave them the control on everything, think gafam. Good job USA, you ruined the world, fuck you.
