US military to send additional 1,500 troops to border

It is illegal for them to detain anyone or help in detention. Some of this is optics, but there is a real slippery slope feel to it. Since SCOTUS abolished rule of law and laws no longer constrain the president, I don't like or trust this.

After all Hegseth has promised to purge any generals with ethics and they confirmed him with Vance breaking the tie. Generals with ethics were what constrained Trump from turning the military loose on peaceful protesters last time he tried to do it.

I was always against raids and the general shittiness of our immigration/CBP militarized system even before I heard the story I'm going to tell here. This has haunted my since the early '90's when a prof told it to me.

So she and her husband are Native Americans, with four tribes between them. The tribes were all Northern plains ones. I can't remember which of them was Lakota, but they were enrolled members of different tribes. As indigenous to the United States as it's possible to be.

So they get jobs teaching down in L.A. and one day, the husband is taking a bus home and the bus gets raided and he has no proof of citizenship on him just normal ID, so they are going to deport him to Mexico even though he speaks no Spanish and his Ancestors have been here since they walked over the land bridge.

She had to rush home and dig through the moving boxes, trying to find all his documentation and she manages to rescue him and bring him home. It was terrifying. They didn't know that they could be deported for looking native to the country in which they and their ancestors had always lived. They started looking for jobs in the North right away.

I've been thinking about it multiple times a day all year. I assumed it would start happening in large amounts as soon as the "mass deportation" sweeps started, that they'd try to deport Native Americans and natural born citizens. Likely even on purpose as they were saying that was what they were going to do since at least the election.

Now that I have y’all’s attention:

Let’s talk about how the Trump administration moved their targets from general brown immigrants to specifically Black(immigrants) ever since Kamala joined the race

This isn’t to say other brown groups aren’t still getting locked up in cages and experiencing hate-crimes. But ever since Kamala, someone of Jamaican descent, started running for President Trump’s campaign have been very open to reblogging and creating posts that focus primarily on demonizing Black immigrants

I’m bringing this up because I’ve been seeing a lot of people address the rise of Haitian hate-crime as an anti-immigrant only matter.

This is specifically about anti-black racism. The only reason the Klan would show their faces like this is always when Black people are involved in some way (case in point: the Charlottesville riots kicked off because white supremacists wanted to stop plans to remove a Confederate statue)

It’s ironic considering Kamala is just as cruel against immigrants, and her (self-proclaimed)Top Cop status got plenty of Black people killed and imprisoned. Regardless, Trump’s administration relies on these anti-black sentiments of immigrants now, because he can’t openly say African-Americans are dangerous people. It’d be too on the nose. So, like with Obama, he attacks Kamala’s foreign Black ancestry to pose that as the “bad dangerous Black people”, but also still just be openly anti-black about it

Already the anti-Haitian hate-crimes have been branching off to anyone of the Black Diaspora in general. Because that was the intent here. So I don’t want to hear “Kamala is Jamaican not Haitian” because most of y’all didn’t care to make that distinction

I will never fear undocumented immigrants anywhere near as much as I fear Republican law makers. And that is something that will never change.

this is so entirely random but one thing i thing i wonder abt every once in a while is if there are any indigenous american emigrants like ones that have left the americas entirely. like indigenous americans in the uk or whatever. i dont even know of any hispanic mestizo british people…. i mean statistically im sure there has to be at least some of them right. however small the number. but ive like never seen or heard from them if they do exist… so i always wonder what that must be like. like how comparible is that to cultural diaspora in america. how much of your cultural identity do you keep with a community that small? and like the way that the majority of countries have at least some amount of black & east+south+west asian immigrants for the people to have exposure to even if not everywhere is as culturally diverse as america. but if youre british have you met all of those but just never met an indigenous american. or like any latin american. thats crazy to me

i find it so funny that after the elections the right wing was saying how fragile the new government was and how little it will take for it to crumble - and i was with them for once - and the alliance in the right wing has broken even sooner lmao

Today I stopped to reflect about Nico's origins, on the fact that regardless of how you look at it, he's an immigrant in America. He was born in Italy like his sister, but they later moved.

This got me thinking about a rather weighty theme, wondering if others have ever thought about or written anything on it – namely, how Nico, once he discovered his identity, began to perceive things, and perhaps how people outside of the C.H.B., where - among many exceptions - it's a safe place, perceived him.

This intrigues and piques my curiosity a bit ~~ but I'm not sure if I'll really have time to dedicate to it. At the moment it's a nice idea, and if someone has already written something, I'd love to read it ♡

i hate how normalized talking about hating being around children is on this site. like I get that they're not here and you used to be one of them. but in what world are you a tolerant leftist when you're so loud about your distaste for one of the most, if not THE most, vulnerable groups in society.

[robinsnest2111]

Immigrant Legal Aid Policies in the United States encompass a set of regulations and initiatives designed to provide legal assistance and support to individuals navigating the complex immigration system. These policies aim to ensure that immigrants, regardless of their status, have access to fair representation, information, and resources. Legal aid organizations collaborate with government agencies, pro bono attorneys, and community partners to offer services such as legal consultations, representation in immigration court proceedings, and advocacy for the protection of immigrants' rights. These policies reflect the commitment to upholding the principles of justice, fairness, and inclusive, recognizing the importance of a robust legal framework to address the diverse needs of the immigrant population in the United States.
