the administration is “not going to ignore the rule of law.”
So why is Trump not in prison, then?
This administration has constantly ignored the rule of law.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
That is very well put, and as far as I can tell it applies to all forms of conservatism, from monarchism where the king is above the law and peasants have no rights, to oligarchy where the rich are above the law while the poor have no rights, to fascism where the inner circle and the stormtroopers who serve them are above the law while minorities have no rights, or class-based societies where your laws and rights depend on your class or caste, and theocracy where the clergy decides your rights and obligations depending on your position.
This is so fucked up. The wife was brought in illegally when she was a minor by her mother. Her mom applied for asylum to make their status legal but missed an immigration hearing 7 years ago, triggering a deportation order. After getting married she applied for a green card like she was supposed to do, but instead they are going to deport her based on her mom's mistake.
She didn't choose to come to the US, didn't choose to do so illegally, didn't choose (or even know about) her mother missing an immigration hearing, and didn't choose to stay even though there was a deportation order because she didn't know about the order. She followed the rules and is being punished.
They aren't looking for reasons to help people, just reasons to deport, no matter how thin.
I have friends who are naturalized citizens, often for decades, and all say they aren't worried, but I am. These people don't even respect Birthright Citizenship, which guaranteed in the Constitution, they certainly aren't going to respect naturalized citizens. I've heard reports that they are combing through everyone's files, looking for any discrepancy, and if they find ANYTHING, they'll lose their citizenship or green card.
Bottom line: If you are from somewhere else, they want you out.
Why would missing one appointment even be grounds for deportation for anyone in the first place? Let alone deporting their daughter several years later and after she is married to another citizen. She has multiple valid claims to citizenship and it's blatantly obvious. But someone saw a rule that was broken so there must be punishment I guess
One of the Big Lies that they repeated over and over throughout the election season was the one about the "border crisis," where allegedly criminals and rapists were flooding into the country across the southern border by the millions. They promised to round up and deport all of them, literally millions of people. You can see where the problem arose: Lies collided head-on with reality. There simply are not millions of migrants for ICE to round up. They don't exist. They never existed. It was all a lie.
Now, the regime has to appear like it's Doing Something(tm) by actually deporting people. Stephen Miller has even given ICE a quota of 3,000 deportations a day, and it's struggling. They have to make the numbers somehow, and the low-hanging fruit are the immigrants that they already have records on, and know about. ICE can just comb the immigration records, and go pick up people whom they know exactly where to find. Morality and logic have nothing to do with it, it's all about throwing the red meat of performative cruelty to their base, and intimidation to their political enemies.
I mean, why not just make the numbers up? It's not like they have any moral compunction against lying.
Why would missing one appointment even be grounds for deportation for anyone in the first place?
Because evil.
Because the goal is to remove brown people, and immigration status is an easy way to start doing that. They will move on to a more Permanent Solution as time goes on.
“I’m all for ‘get the criminals out of the country,’ right?” he said. “But the people that are here working hard, especially the ones married to Americans — I mean, that’s always been a way to secure a green card.”
Didn't care until it impacted him, ex marine, dude totally voted for Trump. So: good, hope you and your kids suffer the consequences of your actions, scum
I feel bad for his kids, but he can get fucked. I hope being an only parent knocks some empathy into him.
I don't think the kid voted for Trump. You're not really standing on higher moral ground asking for an innocent children to suffer
bUt WhAt AbOuT tHe KiDs?
Scum parents should have considered their kids. if they didn't, I sure as fuck wont
Wanting the parent to suffer is one thing and it's fine. Wanting the parent to suffer and not caring is not great but defensible. But explicitly wanting the innocent kid to suffer is seriously fucked up. You're a very bad person if you stand behind that statement. I'm assuming it's just poor communication though and you don't really realize what you said?
hope you and your kids suffer
I hope his kids don't suffer, actually. They're innocent.
You have no proof the dude voted for trump stop being an ass
“I’m all for ‘get the criminals out of the country,’
This is not a thing normal people say
So you don’t want the cartels out of the country and such it doesn’t specify who not everyone is your enemy
That's a great example because ending the war on drugs would be much more effective than deporting "criminals". The Republicans elected a criminal; when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
This isn't even the only story today about ICE taking a Marine Corps veteran's wife. They were similar enough Ground News merged them into a single story.
This one doesn't just repeat conservative rhetoric, he was a Trump super fan and still supports him.

Today, ICE also publicly beat up and detained a guy with three sons who are Marines.
I hope these stories circulate through the active duty guys, and they think about it when Hegseth orders them to fire on American protesters.
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
I don't understand it either, I have a friend who's parents were deported in trumps first term because their visas lapsed and they had been here for 25+ years working and paying taxes and opening businesses. My friend last year said there was no difference in who he voted for they were both terrible choices and I was dumbfounded, one is clearly going to have more direct negative consequences again but they wouldn't budge.
it's a cult. This is the terrifying power of unquestioningly believing what you're told
weak-minded and uneducated.
Hey, marines, man up and beat the shit out of ICE for once.
They have been given weapons and ammo and have been deployed right where the citizens need protection, shut shoot the ice scum
He and his friends should do something about that.
Oh man I really thought this was the onion at first.
“It’s just a hell of a way to treat a veteran,” said Carey Holliday, a former immigration judge who is now representing the couple. “You take their wives and send them back to Mexico?”
Trump has never disguised what he thinks about veterans. I'm surprised he's surprised.
(I'm not)
What pieces of total shit.
So, can be move to wherever they send her?
