I hate how "trump take wife" drives home this point his base, but she would still be a worthy human being without marrying him. but I have to acknowledge that his supporters don't care about human life from first principles so here we are.
Obviously not the case here from what I can tell, but I’ve always believed that a decent % of the “my spouse got deported” stories are originated by the other spouse, who is actually the person who called ice. significantly easier & cheaper way to get out of a marriage than a traditional divorce!
This will have reverberations around the world. Who wants to travel to a country that doesn't respect its own visas? Scoops up a deports ppl, incl lawful residents, due to technicalities w/no due process? Wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing travel bans on Americans soon. @jackdad19.bsky.social
I’ve already informed my employer I won’t be making any scheduled trips to the US to work with our American team whilst Trump is in office, providing examples of British and Canadians being arbitrarily detained by ICE with alleged visa issues. Not worth the risk, and they agree.
I’m hearing the same from former colleagues. European, UK and Canadian conferences being preferred over what were top-rated US venues. People just don’t feel safe travelling there anymore.
And I mean it’s not that I don’t *want* to go. I still love the US, but I have family and don’t want to risk it. Good news is we’re gaining an ever growing collection of US expats, chances are they’ll all be here in a few years.
The main argument I’m hearing against going to US conferences is that if you want to interact with the best in the world, you have to be sure that the best in the world are going to be welcome and want to attend. If they’re going to go to Europe instead then that’s where you go.
I wouldn’t complain if Geo Week moves to Europe. Probably likely if DOGE gets into USGS and starts cancelling federal contracts (or worse reassigns contracted work to his own businesses).
Trump immigration policies haven’t unexpectedly ’expanded’ from only including ‘illegal immigrants’. This was always the plan, surely?
Is there really anyone dumb enough to think otherwise?
Trump has always been pushing for quantity, and it's a lot quicker and easier to set up at the airport and find people with Visa issues than it is to track down actual criminal immigrants
I’ll never not be shocked by people expecting finesse and well thought-out planning from Trump and Musk.
So much easier to lob a grenade in and to hell with consequences.
Especially, as the consequences will never touch their own.
I really don’t know what else people had been expecting.
I shouldn't have laughed so hard at that, but god damn this country is so far beyond the pale evil now. It's always been evil, but now it's just doing it outright in the open while the media gives cover for Trump even with this kind of headline.
Funny little detail is that they knew she had overstayed her visa (though not her fault), and they STILL thought they'd be exempt. I feel terrible for the wife, but the husband can go fuck himself. He still thinks the injustice is that it was *them* and not those other "bad" people.

She violated immigration laws.
She needs to be DEPORTED.
IMMEDIATELY.
I am sure the husband can find another rent-a-wife.
