Social ICE/deportation protests and riots megathread

[Corona]

White liberals are the worst...

Smh at our African American brothers and sisters being held back by the white and Mexican man now. This is why we kneel.

As someone who works in the area, you are wrong. This is nothing like the previous BLM protests or even comparable to the riots that occur after a sports parade. This is being way overblown.

Fair enough. Just my observations from afar. I know the blm riots were much worse. I was referring to the anger directed at police not being the same. And the 10 k protesters was impressive in such short notice. How much bigger was blm protests riots?

It’s a good thing bro because ICE wears masks at night

I saw this last night on X. I would go ballistic on them which is why it’s good I will not be in that situation. I would grab that ponytailed little bitch and break him into many pieces and then feed those pieces to the other bitch. Sorry, but the traffic blocking makes me so angry.

Ps: Reading Garth Ennis isnt considered a actual lntelectual affair.

Significantly bigger, but more importantly they were much more spread out. More neighborhood and corner protests. This one has been primarily concentrated around the federal building in DTLA so it has been easier to contain.

What is objectively true:

1. Nearly all of these individuals who are being detained do not have legal status in the US (exceptions below). They are not what you referred to as legal immigrants - naturalized US citizens, green card holders, or individuals complying with their visas. Instead, they are mostly those who entered illegally, overstayed their visas, or violated the terms of their visa (such as students not studying).

* "Nearly all", "exceptions", "mostly". This is unacceptable.

1. A small number of those being detained are legal immigrants who have participated or organized in pro-Hamas/anti-Israel protests. Whether the administration can do so legally is being fought over in courts.

"Pro Hamas"? Most honest people would call it, vocal support for Palestinians, vocal support of Ukraine, and/or vocal condemnation of Israel.

1. A small number of these deportations are in violation of the law, most famously Abrego Garcia. These cases and names are famous precisely because there aren't that many of them, although there are about 600,000 illegal immigrants in the country that do have a record or have been charged. It is important these individuals get justice and the media focuses a lot on them, which may give the false impression that many individuals are being deported incorrectly.

Even one is too many. What if that was you?

1. Immigration court is not the same thing as criminal court and not even part of the Judicial Branch. They're part of the Department of Justice under the Executive Branch. It's more like civil court and you don't need to "prove" things beyond a reasonable doubt like a criminal case. It's an administrative hearing as opposed to a "trial" where you try to prove things. Immigration judges have broad discretion in determining the admissibility of evidence and hearsay is allowed. It's almost like a job interview.

And ICE has repeated ambushed people at their "job interviews". Again not prioritizing criminals.

What is a grey area:

1. Those being deported are here illegally, many even ordered deported or stuck in years-long deportation proceedings, but have been left alone by previous administration's for many years. ICE had limited deportation resources, so they de-priortized those who had clean criminal records and US citizen family. Trump has basically abolished that old prioritization and made deporting anyone here illegally fair game.

False.

• Several U.S. citizens were deported in April 2025:
  • U.S. District judge Terry A. Doughty stated that a 2-year-old U.S. citizen (identified only by her initials V.M.L.) was deported to Honduras "with no meaningful process" with her pregnant mother who allegedly requested the child be taken with her, despite the child's citizenship. The judge cited Lyttle v. United States, saying "it is illegal and unconstitutional to deport, detain for deportation, or recommend deportation of a U.S. citizen.
  • A 10-year old girl with brain cancer, who is an American citizen, was deported with her family to Mexico after being stopped at an immigration checkpoint while on the way to an emergency medical appointment.
  • A 7-year-old girl and her 4-year-old brother, who has stage 4 cancer, were deported to Honduras without access to the 4-year-old's cancer medications.

1. This upsets many who believe that people who are here illegally for many years, pay taxes and have US citizen children should be treated as legal immigrants (even if legally, they're not).

And what of Indigenous Americans who have lived in the US their entire life, and much longer than registered US citizens?

Some of those detained are illegally in the US, but filed pending applications (asylum, marriage) to become legal while illegally in the US. This does not make them legal until the applications are approved and the law allows for them to be detained until their applications are approved. Previous administrations generally did not detain them, but ICE appears to have changed that policy.

Intentionally interrupting the legal application process and intercepting applicants as they arrive for immigration court hearings. This is not prioritizing criminals. Or enacting immigration laws in good faith or in the spirit of justice.

. To be clear, these individuals who are here illegally with a clean criminal record can still be legally deported - that's what the law says. However, some Americans believed only those with criminal records would be targeted, and are unhappy about this change in policy.

The campaign promise was to prioritize criminals. They did not. They showed up at workplaces, schools, playgrounds, court houses, seizing non criminals, many with work visas, US citizenship, adequate ID, or interrupting immigration court application hearings.

The U.S. fucked Latin America for decades to the point where their countries became a dog fight for people trying to survive.

A large proportion of these people being violently thrown out of the US are refugees, created by the US. Surely the ‘land of the free’ can find a more humane way of treating these people.

A lot of the refugees are coming from socialist countries which ran themselves into the ground through corruption and repression like Cuba and Venezuela.

That's one of the tragedies of this inhumane mass deportation campaign, you'd think Americans would welcome those fleeing socialism but instead we're sending them back to dictatorship.

Thanks for the info.

But I thought socialism was the perfect vehicle for running a country?

Unless you're a Jan 6th goon in which case you're all good.

Okay.

Aww it's not so much fun when the other side is in power is it?

This is exactly the kind of shit I warned you goofs about when you were all cheering on Biden's fascism.

Precedents, how do they work?

Dictatorships built on corruption and repression never work regardless of the ideology but the point is that MAGA represents a small minded view of America that includes terrorizing victims of socialism for trying to pursue the American Dream.

 

[Deleted member 592570]

Like the Nazis.

Should all the judges who challenge Princess Papaya Pussygrabber whose names are published on social media by his muppets on social media have to wear masks? The ones who are threatened on social media and their children followed?

You mean like the left did to Tucker Calrson when they showed up at his house and terrorized his wife and kids?

You have no moral high ground here.

Yeah, they just let the entire world in, no questions asked.

None of that shit gets under my skin in the least. I'm not sure why you get bother by it, did your kid go to the school in question?

That's because you're a traitor.

Like I said, you're just mad because you're on the losing end right now. "You just wait until the shoe is on the other foot!"...yeah, welcome to now, buddy.

100%

These goofs didn't give two fucks about government overreach for the last four years. All that changed is who's in the white house.

Fuck 'em.

We tried to warn them.
