The Atlantic Article That Everyone Should Read About Deportation

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/02/trumps-immigration-plan-is-even-more-aggressive-now/677385/

Snip of article:

Confrontations over immigration and border security are moving to the center of the struggle between the two parties, both in Washington, D.C., and beyond. And yet the most explosive immigration clash of all may still lie ahead.

In just the past few days, Washington has seen the collapse of a bipartisan Senate deal to toughen border security amid opposition from former President Donald Trump and the House Republican leadership, as well as a failed vote by House Republicans to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for allegedly refusing to enforce the nation’s immigration laws.

Trump has repeatedly promised that, if reelected, he will pursue “the Largest Domestic Deportation Operation in History,” as he put it last month on social media. Inherently, such an effort would be politically explosive. That’s because any mass-deportation program would naturally focus on the largely minority areas of big Democratic-leaning cities where many undocumented immigrants have settled, such as Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, New York, and Phoenix.

What we would expect to see in a second Trump presidency is governance by force,” Deana El-Mallawany, a counsel and the director of impact programs at Protect Democracy, a bipartisan group focused on threats to democracy, told me. “This is his retribution agenda. He is looking at ways to aggrandize and consolidate power within the presidency to do these extreme things, and going after marginalized groups first, like migrants and the homeless, is the way to expand that power, normalize it, and then wield it more broadly against everybody in our democracy.”


It will be a "police state".
Terrifying situation

Randi Rhodes Podcasts

I really didn't want to put this subject in "General Discussion" because I don't how many DU'ers listen to her or Free Speech TV.

One thing that she said on February 14th podcast. There are plans for these Detention camps to round up emigrants planned by Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, and that Orange Pus Job. You notice that they are being sent to blue states. If that POS gets in, they will have these sweeping raids which will cause these people being afraid to open their doors to be sent to detention centers.

Instead of me posting about this please go to Randi Rhodes on Free Speech TV and listen to her.

Another House GOP'er Stepping Down

Article:

snip of article

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) announced on Thursday she will not be seeking re-election this year — adding to a long list of Republican members unwilling to stay in office.

Rodgers represented the far eastern part of Washington State in Congress, including the Spokane area.

"After much prayer and reflection, I’ve decided the time has come to serve the people of Eastern Washington in new ways. I will not be running for re-election to the People’s House," she wrote in a statement.



They are jumping ship.

Article from Alternet: tRump Upset He Has To Follow The Law

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-complains-it-was-ridiculous-he-had-to-follow-the-laws-and-leave-office/ar-AA1n8s06?ocid=msedgntp&pc=W099&cvid=0a5bcc0c3d4542bb82e2ee8b8d6a7c32&ei=41

Just a snip of the article:

Donald Trump is reinforcing the dictator on “day one” theme he began last month, telling supporters in New Hampshire on Tuesday it was “ridiculous” he had to leave the White House after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.

“When I left, which was ridiculous that we had to leave,” Trump complained, adding sardonically, “we have to follow the laws of our land.”

“But what a ridiculous – ” he continued before changing course to talk about election fraud. The ex-president is facing federal and state charges for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, but he told the MAGA crowd other people had cheated.





What an ass, oh yea, of course he wants to be a dictator.
