Democrats who think Trump's immigration approval ratings will only go up if you talk about it, think again.

"Deported a 2-year-old" is the kind of phrase that can sour people on this issue. The huge swings on public opinion depend entirely on where the focus is.

Reposted from Kyle Cheney

NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.

a 2 year old with cancer is what I heard

heavymetalmike.bsky.social•16 hours ago

“Denial of due process”
“Masked men stealing people off the streets”
“Deporting citizens”

I think they should talk about it

This is the message: There will always be people who should be deported based on American laws, but this isn't the way you do it. Republicans are so eager to quickly rack up large numbers of deportees, that they are throwing laws and due process out the window. The result is innocent people 1/2

grabbed off the street, including American citizens and children, with some taken to harsh foreign prisons. It could happen to you or someone you know. Courts have found this is illegal, but Republicans are ignoring the courts. Is this the country we want? 2/2

Magats don’t care about this 2 year old because he was already born.

markhoofnagle.medsky.social•14 hours ago

I don’t know why I’m shocked, but I still can be apparently, who would follow such an order? Who would deport citizen children including those being treated for cancer?

Part of resistance should be doxxing them, they should never know peace.

And you cannot “deport” a US citizen.

dr-frogbat.bsky.social•19 hours ago

The democratic leadership is still cowering in terror over Ronald Reagan and clinging to the Clinton preemptive compromise (“triangulation”) tactic driven by polls and focus groups. It’s the opposite of leadership. Pounding on simple themes like this one that connect with people gets results.

You meant to say "stupid democrats"...

Trump’s use of the “Alien Enemies Act” is a criminal collusion among the the Fascist, Donald Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and her Department of Partisan Justice, and the hopelessly corrupt Supreme Court. Their intent: to establish a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy.

DEPORTED A SICK TWO YEAR OLD US CITIZEN--- If this does not "sour" you on the current regime, what will?

kathmarval.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I think that was a DIFFERENT US-citizen child so it's even WORSE.

htiek.bsky.social•16 hours ago

i do not believe the maga base cares about children that aren’t white. in an ideal situation it would create dissonance but these deplorables have shown time and time again that the cruelty is the point. don’t forget that. they are immoral and unethical. full stop.

This is kidnapping and child endangerment

andyc300.bsky.social•16 hours ago

That and the poor kids with metastatic cancer. I mean what in the actual hell? Party of life out here killing people with usaid and things like this.

marycateismary.bsky.social•16 hours ago

These kids are carrying stuffed animals into courtrooms! For god’s sake ppl, we gotta do better.

It's monstrous 🤬

rivki.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Dems are talking about this stuff, a lot! It's our media environment that suppresses democratic speech that makes them seem quiet.

Why did this judge set the date for the hearing almost 3 weeks away? Why not right away? Why is due process not an URGENT matter?

ellenmp2.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I wondered about that too. Given the age of the child, the hearing should take place ASAP.

valpp7.bsky.social•17 hours ago

how can cops look at themselves in the mirror in the morning and play with their kids after deporting a toddler?

jekolski.bsky.social•16 hours ago

There’s two more U.S. kids as well. Reported late yesterday. Keep it up Bondi so there will be protesters following you around.

evelyn1.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Actually, amend that to say "deported a 2-year-old American" - still accurate and way worse

supergoofnz.bsky.social•17 hours ago

They never did manage to track down all the immigrant kids Trump 'lost' last time around.

drgeophysics.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Optimism is always appreciated.

alphiesnowbear.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Especially when accompanied by a photo of the child, when it exists.

Open borders for a Roman Catholic America. Praise be to Jesus and Mary

Typical DC Dem: "Of course while we agree there may be certain situations where deporting a 2-yr-old US citizen is perfectly appropriate, and even welcome, in this particular instance it may possibly be an overstepping of certain judicial and administrative boundaries, and that is what is..."

Every single person called to the mic should shout out to America, “hey folks, HE DEPORTED A 2 YEAR OLD!!! Think about the threat a 2 year old is to our security. Think about your children. Think about how sickening we look to the rest of the world. Now let’s stop this NOW!
