It's unfathomable how fearful undocumented #immigrants must feel. This is a ploy💔by the #TrumpRegime for them to self-deport, or if they don't register, for pos immed #deportations. Trump has promised "some" bus' & farms won't be raided. But there's no guarantee.

"detailed information on each person arrested by #DHS as of June 26. It shows DHS took down 15,000 people on the streets without any criminal history or removal orders since Inauguration Day.
"But in June alone, the figure was 7,000 — 90% were Latin American immigrants."

"The possibility of a🚨$50K signing bonus is a big draw to a lot of cash-strapped Americans, it turns out."

Nothing in the #TrumpRegime can be trusted, esp stats & data.

All #ICE LE recruits will be required to go through med screening, drug screening, & complete a physical fitness test, the agency clarified.

A warm body,💔with MAGA instincts, esp xenophobia & amorality, are surely sought by this inhumane regime.

"#ICE will open Camp E Montana,💔the next make-shift tent IMM #detention fac in Ft Bliss in El Paso.

Detainees will start arriving this Sat with an initial cap of 1000 beds but when fully built it'll have capacity to house 5000!! non-citizens. This will be the country’s largest IMM detn fac in TX.

Likely a lot of detainees from CA will be sent there as Adelanto & Otay Mesa are at cap.

This is atrocious!"

What other cities might be in #Trump's sights for #IllegalTakeovers? #BostonMA could be next!

Undeterred by protests, Trump tells ICE to step up deportations in Democratic-run cities

By John L. Micek
Updated: Jun. 17, 2025

"President Donald Trump has directed federal immigration officials to target deportations in cities run by Democrats, including #Boston, after millions of people turned out in protest against the Republican White House’s policies over the weekend.

"In a post to his Truth Social website on Sunday, Trump said he was ordering U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to 'do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.'

" 'In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as #LosAngeles, #Chicago, and #NewYorkCity, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside,' he continued."

masslive · Undeterred by protests, Trump tells ICE to step up deportations in Democratic-run citiesBy John L. Micek | jmicek@masslive.com

Trump is doing all this tariff shit, FOR NO REASON. He's insane and he's damaging what was an economy humming along pretty well until Jan 20. Best recovery of any country after the pandemic. All that is gone. No reason for it other than Trump being a deranged and very stupid old adjudicated rapist, 34-count convicted felon, and pedophile.

Side note: #ICE must be destroyed and #DHS must be disbanded.

This is horrifying! 😱 A few excerpts...

Live Updates: Trump Orders #NationalGuard to #WashingtonDC and Takeover of Capital’s Police

President Trump ordered what was expected to be a 30-day takeover of D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department and suggested the federal intervention could be expanded to other cities.

August 11, 2025

Michael Gold: "Under the part of the Home Rule Act that Trump cited in his announcement, the president must send a message to the top lawmakers on the committees that oversee D.C. if he plans to take control of the police for more than 48 hours. A spokeswoman for Representative Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said that he had not yet received such a letter, which must include both an explanation for the president’s action and the duration that is expected to last."

Katie Rogers: "A White House official confirms that the federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department is intended to last for 30 days."

Zolan Kanno-Youngs: "President Trump says his administration has begun to remove #homeless people from encampments in parks in Washington. The president has not outlined where he plans on moving those people. The city has struggled in recent years with a shelter system pushed to capacity."

Shawn McCreesh: "President Trump’s framing here is that Washington will be a kind of guinea pig; he’s using it as a test lab to prove that Republicans can clean up and run cities better than Democrats, and that the changes to come will set an example for blue cities across America."

Katie Rogers: "Over one hour in, and this news conference has meandered from the federal takeover of Washington police to Trump’s meeting this week with President Vladimir Putin of #Russia; the future of the Russia-Ukraine war; tariffs against China; the proposed White House ballroom; and talk about the president’s experience in real estate. All the while, members of the president’s cabinet continue standing behind him.

"Trump, perhaps acknowledging their unease, just tried to redirect reporters back to questions about Washington. But after a single question, Trump is now talking about his meeting with #Putin again."

Jennifer Rubin: #DHS is a Menace. A human rights abomination unfolds

"The only thing DHS is safeguarding these days is the massive egos of Stephen Miller and Donald #tRump and the noxious brand of White nationalism that justifies the reign of brutality and terror utterly at odds with American values."

The Contrarian · DHS is a MenaceBy Jennifer Rubin

A shocking# of Latino #immigrants are being🚨arrested on the streets with no criminal convictions/chgs/dep orders. Nothing that'd have put them on the radar of #DHS for removal.

DHS took down💔15K ppl on the sts w/o any criminal history or removal orders since Jan20. In Jun: 7K - 90%: Latino IMMs.

Agents went “house to house” in a FL housing dev site demanding to see proof of IMM status from wkrs. Agents interrogated 361 wkrs -arrested just 33.

#Trump Wants to Turn #America Into a #PoliceState

They're not even hiding it anymore.

Tom Hartmann, August 10, 2025

Excerpt: "This moment is a test. Of our Constitution. Of our institutions. Of our will.

"Because if we let this stand — if we normalize Marines in our cities, Guard troops on our streets, soldiers surveilling residential communities — then we’ve already surrendered.

"What happens when the next protest erupts? What happens when a city pushes back against federal immigration policy? What happens when a journalist, a mayor, or a movement becomes “too disruptive”?

"Do we really think they’ll hesitate to send in the troops again?

"And what kind of soldier will say no, when #DHS and #DoD have spent months telling them they’re defending the 'homeland' against 'enemy cells' within?

"The line between foreign combat and domestic suppression is being erased. On purpose. By design."

Common Dreams · Trump Wants to Turn America Into a Police State | Common DreamsThey're not even hiding it anymore.

The #TrumpRegime is💔stripping protections of some #asylum applicants who filed as far back as 2019.

🚨Dozens of #immigrants across the US have received letters notifying them that their asylum cases have been dismissed by USCIS *under the #DHS.

The reason, acc to the letters: These asylum-seekers, many of whom entered btw 2019-22, didn't receive a mandatory screening, known as a "credible fear" interview, at the border.

Even lifelong conservatives are reaching the logical conclusion: #ICE must be destroyed, and in fact, #DHS itself was a horrible way to solve a problem that had better solutions. DHS should be disbanded. Sadly, writers are still using unnecessary and unhelpful qualifiers to soften their language.

Jen Rubin: "Taken as a whole, the DHS appears to have morphed into a brutal, lawless gang of street thugs reminiscent of dictatorial shock troops in other autocratic regimes. Run by an unqualified and publicity-seeking secretary, egged on by the infamously anti-immigrant scare-mongers Stephen Miller and Tom Homan, and designed to impress a racist president who ran on the fear immigrants were “poisoning our blood,” DHS has become a disgrace, a human rights nightmare, and a legal scofflaw. It is hard to see how DHS could be repaired. Perhaps it is best to shut it down and start all over." contrarian.substack.com/p/dhs-
