But do the vast majority of legal immigrants & naturalized citizens have to worry? Not in my opinion.

This aged well.

Websters defines "vast majority" as 68.4% and so we can see that clearly the vast majority of legal residents of the United States of America continue to have nothing to worry about.

This really sums up how the most masculine he-men are little babies looking for daddy to coe and save them.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Going back to that story where ICE officers shot that lady in Chciago and lied about it. It appears according to court fillings that they took the vehicle they used to ram her to Maine trying to hide evidence. Guessing the case gets thrown out pretty soon too.

[RainMaker]

She had a valid work visa.

It appears ICE agents are targeting preschools in Chicago today.

Just got word that that was an alert from a block south of me of a potential sighting. They've been that close before, just around the corner, but this was the first time I've heard it soon enough that they may still be here.

14 suburban moms arrested in sit-in protest outside Broadview ICE facility - Chicago Sun-Times

These moms arrested yesterday are either all from, or mostly from, my suburb. ICE is out here a lot this morning, but whistles are in effect. They were driving half a block away and I heard them from inside. While it feels like everyone knows what's going on, there's still been reports of three kidnappings.

[Passacaglia]

Luckily I moved to Chicago just before the Bean was built, so I think it's stupid anyway.

Just a moment...

“My sister said, ‘How is she going to get deported if she’s a Native American?’ and ‘We have proof,’” Nunez recounted. “They said, ‘Well, we don’t know because we’re not immigration and we can’t answer those questions. We’re just holding her for them. So, when they pick her up tonight they’re going to go ahead and deport her to wherever they’re going to take her, but we have no information on that.’”

Fucking insane. We were told this wouldn't happen

[Flasch186]

By who? Edward? Has he been deported?

[Passacaglia]

Looks like Bovino and crew have moved on to Charlotte. From what I'm seeing, activity in the Chicago area is way down (though not zero). I'm considering letting my kids walk to school and back on their own again.

It's sort of amazing that he just disappeared after years of prolific posting habits. It kind of makes you wonder if something did happen (not necessarily deportation).

[JPhillips]

Yeah, it's strange when people just disappear. IRL, you'd ask around or check on them, but I don't know enough about Edward to follow up.

[JPhillips]

No surprise here, but the government is dropping charges against the woman they shot five times.

New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

[JPhillips]

Clever.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Looks like it was Kristi Noem who disobeyed the court's order and sent the immigrants to El Salvador-lock her up and throw away the key:

By now you'd think ICE would know that Tribal ID is a thing since this isn't the first time this has happened. It shows the quality training these guys are receiving before being thrown into the field.

I think plays into their true mission. Harassing non-whites.

I'm old enough to remember when we were just deporting criminals and thugs and as long as people immigrated the "right way" it was fine. Wonder what our buddy Edward would say about this.

They are not pure enough blood I guess. The true colors are showing. The progression was
1. Go after the criminals
2. All illegal immigrants are criminals
3. All non-whites are criminals

If it's legal to sell citizenship, then it's legal to reduce the price to 10 bucks.

I know Dems won't, but they could.

The government is now specifically saying Real ID is not proof of citizenship.

Here I thought that was the "cure all" to making sure only citizens could vote. So what have they moved to now?

[JPhillips]

They just want to be able to grab anyone and detain them.

Probably a yet to be determined verification fee.

This will make voter suppression a lot easier in 2026 and 2028.

[RainMaker]

If Real ID doesn't count, what does?

[JPhillips]

Same as before passport or birth certificate are most common. There are a few other less used docs.

Really, though, they just want the freedom to detain anyone they want to harass. If they want to detain you and you have a passport they'll ust say it's fake.

I think he had sincerely held beliefs and argued, albeit in his own way, in good faith.

[RainMaker]

He would concern troll, look really dumb, then get pedantic and start posting links to Websters dictionary to wiggle his way out of it.

While constantly shifting the goalposts. Nothing he did was in good faith. He would cast a wide net to see who he could reel in.

[Mota]

One thing you'd never hear is "you're right" or "good point". It was always a 43 point reply, with quotations from things you said 2 years ago.

[RainMaker]

Maybe he realized after being so comically wrong about immigration that he couldn't figure out how to argue out of it.
