The overwhelming majority of potential targets during an ICE campaign of mass deportation are people with no criminal record; because that’s the overwhelming majority of the undocumented population.

Reposted from Jessica Pishko

Once again, the strategy of "mass deportation" is going to rely heavily on notions of "criminality" because...it is popular.

How to we convince New York to deport her from office?

porter79.bsky.social•171 days ago

Maybe just tell her ICE is implementing congestion pricing?

If I were him I would start with Florida & Texas..little opposition for senators & governors here, they all lock the 👢s

melissamalcolm7.bsky.social•171 days ago

You forgot to add, the fact that a majority actually have children born in American that will be subject to deportation bc Trump is revoking birthright citizenship due to the fact that their parents are immigrant at the time of giving birth to them...

They're going to assert that coming here illegally, or over-staying their visa, is criminal behavior in itself.

Just planning for advocacy… and to know how much #advil to take for a seemingly perpetual headache… is Trump considering deporting those who received amnesty under Reagan?

Do you think citizens will be reporting undocumented people that they know (and perhaps dislike) for removal to the camps? It reminds me of Stalin and his whisper campaign. Children were reporting on their parents.

Absolutely, if history tells us anything we know hate, emboldens people to be their worst self.

marymary3.bsky.social•171 days ago

True. Maga loves what horrifies us.

Hochul is doing what I expected. New York deserves so much better.

Betar, a right-wing movement founded by Zeev Jabotinsky, has a large repository of video footage from college protests

Betar's been working w pro-Israel Congress members senators Ted Cruz and John Fetterman, in order to ensure that efforts to round up suspects https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-jewish-group-targets-anti-israel-protesters-in-hopes-trump-will-deport-them/

America is gearing up to privatise huge concentration camps for the mass roundup of undocumented people in US.

Which transnational corporations are going to profit by $billions. Transfer public money enormous.

jesspish.bsky.social•171 days ago

Hochul goes on to muddle the issue by talking about "legal papers" and saying (wrongly) that those without such papers are guilty of crimes (false).

reichlinmelnick.bsky.social•171 days ago

Yeah she clearly doesn’t really have a sense of the population at issue, which is frustrating to say the least!

jesspish.bsky.social•171 days ago

No, she doesn't -- but that's also the anti-immigrant propaganda, that anyone without "papers" has committed a "crime."

Why aren't there mass arrests of Farmers who hire undocumented, If this is such a problem. I for one welcome our brothers and sisters.

jennc.bsky.social•171 days ago

Because it's always been about maintaining a class of people to look down on. If they really cared about undocumented workers, they would make consequences for hiring one prohibitively expensive.

dodgeintercept1.bsky.social•171 days ago

Politicians polarize the immigration issue so poor people can't see their pockets being picked and feel they may be poor but at least they're better than an immigrant.

marylovesusa.bsky.social•171 days ago

All they have to claim is that because they are here illegally, they are technically criminals. So they will say....we are only deporting the criminals. Fuck trump!

eberhardt1.bsky.social•171 days ago

Well if you break the law you should be held accountable. However the precedent has been set seeing that there is a fucking convicted felon/rapist is about to occupy the god damn white house!!

annabellelecter.bsky.social•171 days ago

Hochul is a Democrat like Zell Miller or Tulsi Gabbard or MGP are Democrats, and Ocasio Cortez or another charismatic Democrat should run against her and win.

morningx.bsky.social•171 days ago

Then how about she starts with the president who is a convicted felon?

s3rp86.bsky.social•171 days ago

The one with criminal record often aren't that easy to find either. If you have a criminal record might not want to hang around the same place too often.

milotheshroomlord.bsky.social•171 days ago

Liberals are such a spineless disappointment.

mlb419.bsky.social•171 days ago

Also the people whose only criminal conviction is “illegal reentry”. Thanks Biden.

reichlinmelnick.bsky.social•171 days ago

Hochul’s position of “go after the bad ones but not the good ones” is incoherent as a policy position. There are plenty of undocumented and documented immigrants and with prior records (potentially very minor offenses) who are “good guys” beloved by the community but ICE targets nonetheless.

wanderthedesert.bsky.social•171 days ago

I don’t want my predictions tested but I guess ICE will face resistance from both conservatives and liberals when they finally land on the ground.
