He's also raiding San Diego.

wisecrackingblonde.bsky.social•43 days ago

Ok am I the only one that thinks this is just heavy footed marketing for them to say "look how tough we are on illegal immigration!" Like to announce this in advance and say where and when and give people ample time to prepare and leave the area feels like more of a stunt than an actual plan.

I. Hate. Him.

We have to stop listening to the media. Stop looking at Meta. Stop buying from Amazon . Stop Making trump normal. Wake up people this is real !

eddthegoat.bsky.social•45 days ago

I would have thought they'd start with Texas because they'd save so much money with the shorter shipping costs. Better called DOGE.

marcuscannon.bsky.social•45 days ago

And if you know someone who could be targeted by this, no you don’t.

blackhorse.bsky.social•44 days ago

Helpful...😢

piranha4d.bsky.social•44 days ago

Yeah. And what shall we bet that's not in the NYT?

carly911.bsky.social•45 days ago

People will be killed

thevincewilsonshow.bsky.social•45 days ago

That’s just the beginning. Here is what Ron DeSantis is calling for in an emergency special session. 287(g) gives local authorities the same powers as ICE.

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

Rotten Ron got his ass handed to him on a platter when he pulled this shit earlier. Crops were rotting in the fields & houses were being abandoned mid-construction because immigrants fled the state. I guess he really wants to plunge Florida into poverty, doesn't he?

mademark.bsky.social•45 days ago

It infuriates me to know that the Cuban community will be spared any of it. There are certainly illegal migrants among them, but they vote Republican. Cubans have always been privileged.

thevincewilsonshow.bsky.social•45 days ago

I’m going to be honest, Cubans may get wrapped up in this. This policy will effect the entire minority community in Florida and across the country. This is a glimpse into Donald Trump’s mass deportations.

kimoco.bsky.social•45 days ago

Whoa, just one of those, the one changing definition of a gang could make non profits who help immigrants a gang subject to arrests. And they really want to build camps to hold those their cops round up. I bet GOP farmers are livid.

thevincewilsonshow.bsky.social•45 days ago

GOP Farmers voted for this. It’s wild. The most problematic couple to me are making being an undocumented immigrant a state crime and then deeming all of them a flight risk thus denying them bail.

And here's something else that's got these inbred bumpkins worried, and they deserve to be worried.

For the next four years my only question for ANYONE who complains is "Did you vote for Harris?" if their answer is 'no' then they can go and fuck themselves!

kimoco.bsky.social•45 days ago

Right now all MAGA is making promises or threats, but what they can ACTUALLY do, we shall see.

cyberman3000.bsky.social•45 days ago

I'm starting to think that Trump should do EVERYTHING he's vowed to do. It sucks, and innocent people are going to get hurt, but it increasingly seems that the only way Red/Purple state morons are going to stop touching this hot stove is to make it so hot that it actually melts their fingers.

Blue governors need to speak out. The Red governors wanted this sht - start in TX and FL.

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

Our incoming dictator doesn't give a shit about what blue governors want. This has been part of his agenda since he ran in 2016. He plans to fulfill it this time. His goal is to make sure wealthy white men stay in power in perpetuity.

banner19.bsky.social•44 days ago

Of course he doesn’t but I don’t want my governor being quiet. She needs to shout it out and pin it on the red governors. Let their economies get trashed with IDJT’s name all over it.

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

You do realize that when you're suggesting their economies get trashed, that increases the suffering of people like me living in red states, right?

banner19.bsky.social•43 days ago

I realize that people in my state are being targeted by ICE by red states. There’s plenty of suffering to go around. I’d like MAGA Governors to explain why they would prefer immigrants in Blue cities to suffer? I would like Blue State governors to hold their MAGA counterparts’ feet to the fire.

thatsanwoman.bsky.social•45 days ago

Learn your rights on "search and seizure" for when the ICE storm troopers are at your door.

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

Keep in mind dictators DGAF about rules or laws. Stephen Miller, his immigration henchman, has already said if people fight their family members being deported, the whole damn family will be kicked out of the country. They hate brown people so much they will kill them if they don't comply.

thatsanwoman.bsky.social•44 days ago

What’s really worrisome as well, is the readiness of many local sheriffs to carry out the dictator’s orders. So-called “Constitutional Sheriffs”, in particular.

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

You mean regressive racist Republican assholes, correct?

thatsanwoman.bsky.social•44 days ago

With guns and badges.

I find it funny Gov. Pritzker isn't mentioned once in the article. If anyone is up to the task of standing up to Trump, it's Pritzker.

ALL PERFORMANCE.Biden deported more then Trump did his first term but you would never know that because of CONSTANT lying by the right.There were no open borders,the past year crossings have been down and Biden captured those that had committed crimes.

steve607.bsky.social•45 days ago

Dems should flyer and post heavily throughout Chicago. Warrants have to be signed by a judge and list the place to be searched. Defending the rule of law starts with demanding the rules be followed! If they are starting on day one, then defend the rule of law on day one!

steve607.bsky.social•45 days ago

Chicago. Shitler must be giggling himself to death in his Depends. Obama really lives in the vast empty space of Trump's head.

pjkool.bsky.social•44 days ago

Chicago is awash in guns. They will need more than 200.

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

Everyone who was under the impression this was just going to be another presidency better wake the fuck up. Our new dictator will be installed tomorrow. Life as we know It will never be the same.

rjhall.bsky.social•45 days ago

If Chicago is like NYC a lot of restaurant staff, the dishwashers in particular, are undocumented. Are these people going to show up for work?

hamingja6233.bsky.social•45 days ago

Nothing like having a voluntary Great Depression by idiots who chose hate and forgets the past!

Non-citizens in Chicago with temporary status must hide until the headlines disappear.

phillygirl5912.bsky.social•45 days ago

Their own people did this.

jeamwapr.bsky.social•44 days ago

Interesting that they are going to a Democratic city whose economy will be hurt by deportations they won’t lose a vote. But, if they did this in farm country the economy would be equally hurt but they would piss off Republican voters. Everything is partisan with Trump.

lovemybluestate.bsky.social•45 days ago

Reports do indicate that large-scale ICE operations are planned for Chicago starting Tuesday. Stay informed, know your rights, and connect with local immigrant advocacy groups for support. Always verify details with trusted news sources. 🙂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙💙🪖🪖🪖

This makes me want to weep and scream at the same time.

I know of some LEGAL immigrants who already have their flights to go back to India because they refuse to put themselves through the humiliation of being asked for papers to prove they are legally here. imagine how much money is going to leave this country…

beltwayskeptic.bsky.social•45 days ago

One way to verify is to determine if ICE has contacted Chicago police departments and the IL National Guard. It’s already been determined that ICE can’t do it alone. Do any IL blueskyers know?

planningforall.bsky.social•45 days ago

I thought he was gonna start with Operation Aurora, where he made up stories about immigrants taking over a Denver suburb. Guess he lied again.

riverroadband.bsky.social•44 days ago

Well I’m sure organized religion will step in and do god’s work!!!!!

mpf614.bsky.social•44 days ago

I fear this is going to end badly and possibly deadly. Hoping I am wrong!

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

Unfortunately, I don't think you are. He wants blood. He wants war. He wants complete and total control of everyone in this country.

beans4reezy.bsky.social•44 days ago

I feel bad. At the same time, I voted for Kamala.

nilabisan.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yeah, no one will know they’re coming.

Are there places/people helping to hide folks

resisterradio.bsky.social•45 days ago

Chicago… where Abbott and Desantis dumped them off???what a weakling…if you’re going to do it, bring it to California or Texas… he has no intention of doing anything real because he knows we can’t afford it… maga voters are so fvcking stupid it’s stunning.

nlcoombe.bsky.social•44 days ago

He will only do this in blue states to scare people,however,it is ALL PERFORMANCE because in reality Biden deported slightly more then Trump
did in Trump’s 1st presidency.

nlcoombe.bsky.social•44 days ago

piecesofi.bsky.social•45 days ago

The question to ask is: Governor Pritzker - how can we help?

Looking to @govpritzker.illinois.gov to keep our state safe. We must help.

It's disturbing to see the hypocrisy of the GOP administration. "It's up to the states" ... seems to only apply when they want it to apply.

virginiaspencer.bsky.social•45 days ago

How? Logistically how? How are these incompetent fucks going to arrange mass deportations in a couple days? Where are the warrants and deportation orders coming from?

cling2reality.bsky.social•45 days ago

Can't wait to create misery porn for the cult.

kilgoret95.bsky.social•44 days ago

Gee, I wonder why. Could it be Illinois is the only Blue state in a sea of Red? You’d think he’d pick a border state.

gotmethinkin.bsky.social•45 days ago

A total stunt. Why not start in Florida or Texas? This is pure theatre.

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

Because farmers there would revolt and he would have an insurrection on his hands. It would look bad for him to start killing his own voters his first full day in office.

cyberman3000.bsky.social•45 days ago

Why are they on their way now? He has no authority to give orders for another 48 hours.

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

They will be there, ready to implement his demented genocidal agenda the second he is installed as our new dictator.

cyberman3000.bsky.social•44 days ago

He has not been 'installed' as a dictator. Americans CHOSE him. Don't ever let anyone forget that.

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

He will be installed tomorrow against the will of the majority of the people in this country.

Dictators aren't inaugurated.

I fucking didn't choose him, and neither did anyone else in my family. We all voted blue. Less than 1/3 of the voting population elected this bastard.

cyberman3000.bsky.social•44 days ago

It's a first-past-the-post election and he won. It's horrible and has tarnished everything that people admire about 21st century America, but he won because a majority of voters picked him. He only added 1m votes to his 2020 total so blame the 7m 2020 Biden voters who stayed home.

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

Actually, a majority of voters did not pick him. 32% of registered voters is not a majority. I will agree with you that it's disgusting that people chose not to vote at all because they were pissed off about Gaza or some other bullshit. We will all pay the price for their stupidity.

Going to Chicago on the orders of who?

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

Our incoming dictator, who wants to send a clear message to the governors of Democratic states that he absolutely despises them and will do everything he can to destroy them.

elkgrovenews.bsky.social•44 days ago

I'm not trying to be flippant, but many businesses in Chicagoland will close without these folks?

indifferentnegro.bsky.social•45 days ago

In other words, the tyranny, cruelty, lawlessness and evil start on Tuesday and end when?!

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

It will end when the people of this country get disgusted enough to fight back. That could take decades.

jaruss.bsky.social•45 days ago

Pick up those that voted for Trump please.

mtnstrider.bsky.social•45 days ago

Did not-yet-president give orders to people he is not-yet-the-boss-of?
I’m confused how these orders could have happened?

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•44 days ago

You seem to be under the impression the incoming dictator gives a shit about the law or proper protocol. The simple fact of the matter is this: there are no guardrails. Nobody will stop him. He will do what the hell he wants until we get angry enough to fight back.

kimoco.bsky.social•45 days ago

People are falling in line, they want to deport millions. I'll bet many cops are salivating at this idea.

jewskychai.bsky.social•45 days ago

When/If they go to California to do this shit, GROCERIES prices will quadruple & many items will be unavailable. Watch the prices/availability of meat change immediately after Chicago deportations.

church-bear.bsky.social•44 days ago

If I was in Chicago - I can house at least 20 people in my home
