Journalists: you cannot deport U.S. citizens out of their own country. Do not simply regurgitate the words of the administration if those words are inaccurate. To do so is spreading disinformation. Deportation, according to the govt itself, is for people with no legal right to be here. - ThreadSky

Related: Stop saying the administration is "cracking down" on immigrants or international students, as if they have committed crimes.

Many of the people rounded up--including the third grader in Sackets Harbor--have done nothing wrong.

And even then - deporting ppl to a third country DIRECTLY INTO LIFE SENTENCES IN A GULAG is an entirely different thing!!!

Did these people miss no trail put them there? And no trail is coming in the future?

My family is nearly 200 years removed from Ireland so Trump couldn't send me there but it's only a matter of time before he has someone snatched off the street and sent to El Salvador then says "Oopsie can't get them back 🤷‍♂️"

Time to start using alt text, then, like disabled people are allowed to know.

They're one ignored court order away from doing it.

Sadly, we can't count on corporate media.

The government can, and it did. Was is right? Of course not. Was it Constitutional? Definitely not. Should people in the executive go to prison for doing oppressing people's rights? YES! However, It's very dangerous to assume rights will be respected by this administration.

Act accordingly.

veryberrykeri.bsky.social•5 days ago

ah but you see that's the rub. the government has decided they can choose who has and does not have the right to be here, even if you did the day before.

veryberrykeri.bsky.social•5 days ago

first it's "these illegals are criminals". then trying to muddy the waters between legal and illegal immigrants. then the legal immigrants are criminals. then it's all criminals. then being undesirable (race, sexuality, gender, politics) becomes criminal. happening before our eyes

And by “government” in this case you mean Regime.

lynxsl.bsky.social•5 days ago

Our Press, is mostly just pretty stenographers. They take down what the regime says and repeat it with no real analysis. They don't think that is their job.

Reporters, headline writers, editors - do your jobs! Stop asking “what do you, Sen/Rep MAGA, think about Trump doing x,y, and z?” They will just lie and you know it. Report what is actually happening in our country - the harm that is being done. You can do so much better

It is called being Exiled or just straight up Ethnic Cleansing if it is based on race, ethnicity, or religion.

And Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity.

US Citizens of Mexicsn descent were banished from the US during the great depression. But banished doesn't have the same heft as deported.

nhannahjones.bsky.social•5 days ago

I know very well that U.S. citizens can be stripped of those rights and expelled. I am talking about precision in language.

dagnypaul.bsky.social•4 days ago

Is the correct term "rendition"?

silvy777.bsky.social•5 days ago

Trump and Bukele are engaged in human trafficking.

katenobriga.bsky.social•5 days ago

That’s called exile.

Most of them are just notetakers for the Trump administration. Not all of them are real journalists

Not when sweet potato hitler gets to decide who belongs in said country. 🤷🏿‍♂️

They're right about what Deportation is. Unfortunately, Deportation is not what is happening. These people are not being returned to their home country for violating immigration law. They're being kidnapped and put into a foreign gulag.

sagastar.bsky.social•5 days ago

for violating laws or "just because"

Regurgitating propaganda to boost advertising sales is called capitalism, welcome to the USA where everything is for sale
