Thank you Adrian - all these illegal deportations are so horrific. I love the line from the protest: "Stop pretending your racism is patriotism" and the same goes for all this pretend protection from anti-semitism. Nazis can walk our streets (and dine with our president) but anyone protesting the war in Gaza is deported?
It remains a mystery to me how people can so casually betray their own best interests. The undercurrent persists that "all men are NOT created equal" that some (whites) are better than others (people of color or of different ethnicity, etc.) We have had more than a decade of Trump, and still his believers remain loyal. He pees in their faces, tells them it's raining, and they believe!
Thank you so much for this coverage. Every one of us can make a difference by linking elbows and looking out fir each other. Here is an article of more ICE overreach in CA.
Thank you for keeping this issue alive. Everyone is paying attention to the chaotic stock market. The Trump administration is slowly working on diminishing our constitutional rights. Go for the low hanging fruit. Arresting people who show up for their yearly appointment at immigration offices. This is so scary.
I think we should let all immigrants stay and d we por every Trump voter to a third world shithole prison. And the people who marched to Sturmbahnfuhrer Homan's house should have torched the motherfucker. Let him see that actions have consequences. It's time to bring back the guillotine.
And I just heard the judge wants evidence of any malfeasance on Mahmoud Khalil’s part that warrants detention and revocation of his green card, and if they don’t respond then the case against him is done. I hope he is set free after tomorrow, which is the deadline . But our government has no respect for the rule of law.
Most people have no idea how difficult it is to get and keep a green card. I have a relative who married his wife 26 years ago in her native country. Her green card must be renewed every 10 years. You must answer all the questions truthfully and completely. There was a moment of panic the last time, a few years ago, when she could not remember her original port of entry. Leave it blank and the renewal application is incomplete. Make the wrong guess and the application contains a misrepresentation. Miss the deadline and you no longer have legal status. You cannot get anyone on the phone at INS to help you. Yes they do indeed deport spouses, even of long marriages.
As they are both now in their 70s, I think they are having to accept, painfully, that she may never visit her homeland again.

In Venezuela, authorities recently discovered Bitcoin mining equipment in a prison controlled by Tren de Aragua, suggesting the group’s involvement in cryptocurrency mining.   
El Salvador is the first country to establish Bitcoin as national currency and has developed significant capacity to mine Bitcoin, although national usage dropped since its introduction.
In March 2025, Trump signed an EO to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, funded through forfeited assets seized from illegal activities. Trump sons have also started their own Bitcoin mining operations.
Tren de Aragua is also involved in human trafficking, a potential overlap with trafficker Jeffrey Epstein who hobnobbed with Trump, predator.
Might Trump and Tren de Aragua have a relationship through other circles and now an agreement established to mine Bitcoin in a US-owned prison in El Salvador?
"“They can protest a vacant house all they want,” said Homan,". And there it is...HOMAN himself is a vacant house. In fact; the entire regime is only a vacant house. Like many vacant buildings, it is a menace. It will attract rats and other disease vectors. The roof could fall in at any moment. The floors may collapse and the walls fall over. It should be condemned by the authorities as a public safety hazard. In case you're wondering, WE are the authorities.
Well, we spent millions of tax dollars refurbishing the detention center at Guantanamo before Trump decided that wasn't cruel enough for immigrants. Sounds like the right place to deport a bunch of traitors.
Tom Homan is a toxic, evil monster.

I know there are people who will/ need to be deported, but due process is a must. We cannot allow what is happening in Elsalvador to continue.
I think we should let all immigrants stay and d we por every Trump voter to a third world shithole prison. And the people who marched to Sturmbahnfuhrer Homan's house should have torched the motherfucker. Let him see that actions have consequences. It's time to bring back the guillotine.
I hope that there will be a special place in hell for the "good Christians" who are doing this to society.

I had no idea that people had to keep proving themselves. Thanks for sharing their story.

Hold anti-Trump/Musk demenstrations in front of Republicans' local offices.
Why Tren de Aragua, why El Salvador, why now?

Our local newspaper in Lansing, Michigan, reporting that the visas are being revoked for the foreign students at all Michigan universities.
Recall petitions and special elections, anyone?
