This is what ethnic cleansing looks like.

Trump administration officials have said that criminals will be prioritized for deportation.

The man — who had applied for a green card — had no criminal history, according to his wife and her lawyer.

I think that answer tells you that they consider all immigrants criminals

Lubbock Police Department policy says officers have discretion to notify federal authorities about crimes that fall under their jurisdiction, a department spokesman told me:

A 2017 Texas law prohibits barring local officers from asking a person’s legal status. But some cities remain friendlier to undocumented people.

The state Legislature may try to change that. Today Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said requiring local authorities to help federal deportation efforts was one of his legislative priorities for the current legislative session.

I would like to request that @kirkpwatson.bsky.social be more active on Bluesky, a lot of his constituents are no longer on the other place.

What a cruel and hateful person that officer must be.

It's not about getting rid of the criminals. It is about fear in brown people, so they will want to leave. Pure racism.

No thought about how fruits and veg will be harvested.

No thought about how much these people contribute to the economy (undocumented workers pay SS tax but get zero benefits.)

Those "he ain't talking about me, I'm one of the Good Ones!" Hispanics are a trip. They'll start pronouncing their own name differently if it'll make the boss happy.

Imagine being that piece of shit filthy pig who did this

dcgrimekid.bsky.social•24 days ago

Who did they vote for? Just curious.

shelbyclarkjac.bsky.social•24 days ago

Another example of why no one should live in TX. And I say this as someone who lived and went to college there! Leave!

langoustine.bsky.social•24 days ago

Shut up. Totally unhelpful and actually really dumb!

langoustine.bsky.social•24 days ago

I live in Texas. My family lives in Texas. We ain't leaving. And to go where? What state nearby is really much better?

langoustine.bsky.social•24 days ago

It's just peak rich brat to say, OMG, just leave. Most people don't have the means. Also, most people don't like just leaving all their friends and family behind.

landslug.bsky.social•23 days ago

So don't leave, it's that simple

briansantacruz.bsky.social•24 days ago
