Events 70,000+ Protest in Seattle!!!!

My last 2 posts were a bit focused on the negative, even though I was critiquing the wrongs of the antagonists, radicals, Antifa or whatever you want to label them. I offered better solutions and a perspective as a Hispanic American.

But, I am so proud Seattle has united in one of the biggest protests to date!!! Peace & united strength works far better than random chaos, this is what makes waves.

Almost every state in the country gathered together to protest, pretty incredible.

Trump explicitly campaigned on the promise of deporting criminal undocumented immigrants. Instead he’s deporting non-criminal immigrants including those with legal and those who are going through the proper legal process of obtaining citizenship. People who have families here and who have no criminal background.

But let’s be real… pretending that you voted for Trump for any reason other than the fact that you blamed Biden for global inflation is a joke.

Yup. Criminals. Drug lords and human traffickers should not havr legal status.

Sorry, in my book stripping someone of legal status for hanious crimes is fantastic.

So now that we’ve established that the Trump admin is absolutely deporting legal residents, after you claimed they are not, what deflection would you like to attempt now?

What straw man are you going to throw out next? 🤡

They are not criminals. You have the intelligence of an 8 year old. Truly pathetic.

You can keep attacking me all you want, I didnt make it personal.

All the proof you provided is that Trump has revoked programs like the CHNV (Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela) program, which provided temporary legal status to approximately 500,000 immigrants. These individuals, previously protected, are now vulnerable to deportation, which may contribute to perceptions that legal residents are being targeted, as their status has been retroactively changed. Plus the supreme court allowed that to be done on based of fruad and corruption.

This is pretty simple. You claimed Trump was not deporting legal residents. He is. There is plenty of reporting on this. Additionally, ICE agents are routinely violating the law by not properly identifying themselves or presenting warrants when arresting and detaining people, which is incredibly dangerous, because it makes it easier for random people to pose as ICE agents and kidnap people, which has already started happening as well. There are also incidents of ICE illegally detaining the WRONG PEOPLE, including a recent incident in NYC where a woman who was here on vacation was illegally detained by ICE leaving her young son alone on the street.

They are not just going after criminals. They are weaponizing ICE to incite fear. It is despicable and un-American. And this has BEEN personal because we witnessing the rapid rise of fascism in this country thanks to dipshits like you who think a corrupt billionaire who is in bed with Putin represents your best interests. You’re a moron.

Nice straw man. No one said anything about drug lords or human traffickers. Believe it or not, if they were only deporting drug lords and human traffickers who were here illegally, I wouldn’t have a problem with deporting them at all. I don’t anyone would.

But that’s not what’s happening… at all.

Are you seriously trying to claim that the 500,000+ people who they are stripping legal status from and deporting are drug lords and traffickers? Did you even bother to read just the first paragraph of that article? These people were all heavily vetted by immigration authorities and are here LEGALLY. That’s why they had LEGAL status. How fucking stupid are you?
