Nooooo! Please don’t help them spread panic. There’s actually no real indication that they plan (or could carry out) a true escalation of deportations on Day 1. This is psychological warfare. Don’t help.
I am SO tired of hearing people say "This is the last day of Democratic America!" We're completely forgetting the robust state govt. systems and courts and expecting to wake up in China. Even the staunchest advocates of Project 2025 know it's IMPOSSIBLE to legislate that! (1/2)
Yes, this goes both ways. Like they said Kamala Harris would make a communist dictatorship. Whoever you fear, democracies are not dismantled that quickly. That is important to know or people will draw the wrong conclusion and think everything is fine when dystopia doesn't happen from one day to next
It IS good for immigrants to have the right documentation on hand just in case, but we need to not give up and remember that 4 years will go by quickly. It could even be only TWO years of struggle if the Midterms go well. Why do you think they want to get in as many policies as possible? (2/2)
Actually just hiring someone who is unauthorized to work is the crime. Working or being here unauthorized is not a crime it’s a violation of a civil code, r immigration statute.
THIS will solve the bigger problem. We need immigrants, we don’t need greedy bastards gaming the system. Lock up the billionaires who scam us to get rich and then buy off our corrupt politicians to skirt taxes.
If someone comes to this country illegally they’ve broken one law. Corporate Americans who are purchasing cheap illegal labor or breaking a lot of laws but they are never prosecuted. They break tax laws, labor laws and immigration law. They are the ones who should be deported into a meat grinder
Jesus. Laws be damned - the laws that ICE is supposed to operate under won’t matter. It’s Trump. And your civil rights are at serious risk whether you’re an immigrant or not.
I'm concerned that because it's expensive to actually deport people, they're just going to imprison them in for-profit prisons to make these people into actual slaves. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see any moral compass in MAGA.
sadly, i don't think you're wrong. i read somewhere that Abbott of Texas is donating state land to build an internment camp, prison, for detained "migrants".
It's so weird seeing in real time the answer to "how did average Germans go along with atrocities" and of course, it's the most "freedom loving patriots" who are at the front of the queue.
So why are they raiding elementary schools, churches, or hospitals? What criminal hides out in 1st grade? They can’t be a teacher without proof of education and background checks…
They must have been coordinating this operation for a long time. How can an incoming administration have that kind of access without the help of the current administration?
Y’all better keep the only people willing to do your dirty work. Then again, maybe you all need to be hungry, carry on. Let the farms fall apart, so they can stop voting against their own interests.
The dumbest idea ever because if they are imagining a world where black people are picking those fruits and vegetables and working on farms the joke is on them we have NOT raised our children like the 1920’s come for them if you want too surprise surprise! Pick your own food clean your own house!
Farmers are already reporting that crop pickers, maintenance staff, etc. are not showing up for fears of being raided by ICE. We should be seeing the effect of increased grocery prices in a week or two #trumpnomics
How about all the russian women who come here very pregnant and give birth. Now they have an anchor baby for their right to stay. Mostly in Florida, Miami I believe.
Op.: It looks like #FeloniousTrump is going to use deportations as a weapon to selectively attack certain cities and certain regions of the country. I am certain he will not raid corporate meat packing plants and the like or their regional locations. #Maga is weaponizing #deportion.
No matter how hard they try we have been and will always be here. We are here. We are queer. We are brown. We speak Spanish. We love proudly.They have been trying to get rid of us since they came into our country and have yet to succeed. We shall endure. Stay strong mi gente. 🇲🇽🏳️🌈✊🏽
Be prepared to know NOTHING about your neighbors, YOU do not KNOW THEYRE STATUS this is pure nazi/Stasi report your neighbors bullshit, do NOT be that person that turned in Anne Frank
I think of this and my mind boggles. How are they going to move these people? Where are they going to go? Are they leaving the USA? How? Catapults? Trains? Buses? Planes? And what about the poop? The port a potties?
My granddaughter and her family moved to CO this week to try to protect her husband. I already miss her. If they take him, she is moving to MX. I'm afraid I'll never see them again. Her son will forget me in no time. 😢
I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I love my grandson so much. His other Grammy moved to Mexico & he has never forgotten her. He still talks of her & misses her & always tells everyone about her living in MX. He was only 2 when she left. They never forget who loves them. ❤️
I've heard Chicago is first on the list (sanctuary). There are some 10K meatpacking jobs there. Most meat packing is done in small towns. All you have to do is go to a construction site in FL, NV, TX. Trump's not going to bother those states?
Meatpacking Companies to Pay $8 Million for U.S. Child Labor Violations
Perdue Farms and JBS have settled with the Labor Department after relying on migrant children to do dangerous work in their slaughterhouses. Most of the money will be used to help the children. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/us/perdue-jbs-slaughterhouses-child-labor.html
meat eater $rump will have real problems adjusting without meat & ketchup
"among roughly 175,000 immigrants in U.S. meatpacking jobs. The industry has historically relied on foreign-born workers — from people in the country illegally to refugees — for some of America’s most dangerous jobs."
Really important that this emphasizes 1 not to sign anything without your lawyer present
2. Leave a list of people to whom you have entrusted the right to pick up your kids at school. That #2 issue is something schools must abide by and crucial for safety of your kids.
republicans are the first people to deregulate workplaces & hire cheap labor .. even in the home i read about politicians who hire immigrants
so i guess a lot of this is all about playing to the crowd.. baiting the MAGA followers just to increase levels of hate onto those who cant defend themselves
I live in California and we had sweeps last week. There will be more. What happened? People aren’t going to stores. People aren’t showing up for work. Kids are missing school. Economies in rural communities will hurt a lot.
I'm sure the farmers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants will just ask for (and receive) government handou- i mean, subsidies/reimbursements and then sell to a mega-farm and make bank. This has to be why they keep voting for Republicans
Interesting how it's always "punish the people enticed to illegally enter and work in a country by Americans" and never "punish the people who knowingly and willfully entice and hire (and even house) illegal immigrants to illegally enter and work in country in order to exploit them"
What's going to happen is a hostile environment for brown people in general. Sadly, Latinos have such a big voter turnout for Trump, and they're going to learn the hardest.
I hope people are documenting what is going on and the states Attorney General use the full weight of the law to ensure due process. And those who go outside the law are held accountable without prejudiced.
States Attorney General not federal. Hold them accountable at the state level for violations. Tie them up and knots and make their lives freaking miserable.
I feel the same way. Life as we know it won’t be the same. This man is going to rape & pillage our country. If he deports immigrants, prices will go through the roof on anything raised on a farm. Immigrants work in slaughter houses, meat, packing places, etc.. farmers are begging for exceptions
From another poster—RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.
Not quite. By voter suppression actually… ‘If not for the wholesale suppression on 3,565,000 votes and voters, Harris would have won the election with 286 Electoral votes.’
I live 3 blocks from the house I grew up in and I found my Birth Certificate and getting a new passport. This new administration won’t like what I say so I want to prove my citizenship. I suggest anyone who can do the same and stand in front for those that can’t!
I've heard that if you get swept up, you can show them ID but you shouldn't let them take possession of your ID. Honestly I think the best thing to do is remain calm and try to appear fearless, they'll assume you have a plan, a lawyer, etc... and won't want the hassle. They want easy targets.
I’m the same except I live about 6 blocks from where I grew up. I have my original birth certificate (from 1940), and a certified copy from 1975. My passport is expired, but I still have it.
Sad state of affairs when Americans who have contributed decades to the growth of USA have to run around in panic for ID, a black mark on American history
It’s also very strange that it cost just as much to renew it as it cost to get it in the first place -one would think you would get it at a very cheap price, but that’s not the case
This feels like Germany during the Nazi's rounding up it's own citizens just because of their religion.
It's going to be a harsh 4 years in America. I can only hope that the grim reaper comes for the orange mobster soon.
that i see is why its important that progressive people mobalise to get rid of these people at every chance
so it is just 4 years.. maybe even 2 if the americans can cause midterm upsets ? idk
the parallels are scary.. hit*er also took 2 attempts to gain total power, the 2nd time succesful (after brutal tactics & manipulation) but once established in power almost impossible to get rid of
to the level that the whole country had to be leveled & millions died
Just wait until they start offering bounties for snitching on your neighbors? Friends? Relatives? Where do you draw the line for $100? 200? 500? What is your price to turn in someone? This is just the beginning. Cooperation is being coerced! Do not be discouraged. We will get through this.
Heck, I live in Texas and the governor was already offering bounties on women suspected of having abortions and the people who drove them to get an abortion, so yeah I can see that happening.
it felt like Germany before the election, people were warning everybody that Trump‘s policies and friendships “felt like Germany.” And yet here we are. America let this happen.
My heritage is proudly from 1870’s American Indian great grandmother, immigrant Irish great grandfather and, Spanish grandparents who immigrated with my grandmothers two sisters and their husbands to America!
The casinos in my city have plenty of large groups of Asians, Filipinos, Cubans, Venezuelans, Mexicans, Haitians and South Africans gambling during the week when they and their family and friends are the few at the tables and slots.
Some have businesses, some have work permits, some don’t.
For actions more than 100 miles from the border, ICE and CBP must follow the standard legal procedures required by the Fourth Amendment, which includes the need for probable cause or a warrant for searches and seizures. This means that they cannot conduct random or arbitrary stops and searches
Oh agree, it's why Harris went to the right on immigration cause the right created the false narrative and the DEMS didn't want to seem weak.. so they attempted to be strong. The border bill wasn't needed.
if they do it, we might as well make the best of it and make sure the first to go work for republican owned business. We need to make sure those business's are exposed as hiring illegals and the owners need to be arrested for harboring illegal aliens. Bet they stop.
You would think so. But my Hispanic friends are complacent. They feel like it won’t happen to them. Maybe they are just putting up a front. I’m deeply worried about them.
You know...there were a helluva lot of Latinos putting up bleachers, security fencing, and crowd control gates in Washington, DC over the past couple of weeks.
I'm just imagining how it's going to go for removing all that shit next week.
Imagine the impact on students and staff as ICE bursts in classrooms removing their friends and students. Add places of worship being interrupted mid-service to haul congregants away.
That is what we will witness and must record and report as repugnant to us as human beings as well as citizens!
It's just a publicity stunt to fool maggots into believing that Trump is actually fulfilling his promise. Why would they send only 100 ICE agents to a city of 6 million? Why would they publicize their "secret surprise operation"?
The horror stories my Oma would tell me in Germany about people being pulled from their houses in 1930/40's, horrific screams in the night. People loaded up like cattle. God said I knew you before you were born. I created all of you. You are my children. Has the world not learned anything. 😥
They already raided in Kern county CA. Now none of the field workers are showing up to work for the next two days which means the crops aren’t being harvested. Wait until this starts affecting the whole country’s food supply! Who will they blame?
Farmers on the central coast(where I live)have always complained they can’t find enough workers and have to go to Mexico to recruit. They voted for him but will really whine when it affects their business.
The central valley is a long time red area. The farmers are very red, yet they’re the first to expect cheap labor from the immigrants from Mx, legal or not-
Fully agree. There's a fed program to help workers and human trafficking survivors stay in the country while reporting workplace violations, wage theft, and labor abuses - Deferred Action for Labor Enforcement, DALE.
Watch workers in my area pick strawberries. Covered head to toe to protect themselves from the blazing hot sun, bent over picking, running the full flats back to be counted and then back to pick again. After you watch them all day decide what pay you’d require to do it. Farmers couldn’t afford you.
I'm on the central coast, Pismo Beach California. I have put the word out to my neighbors not to open the door to any agents and I promised to go ahead of any workers to check out the local farms
Had the similar shit show here in the UK when the right wing took a brexit vote and in one swoop all the Eastern European field workers factory workers and truckers were gone and the oligarchs had their way they destroyed this country.
I'd bet once it starts having an effect, they'll use that to stoke more hate against Dems while also raiding every weed facility they can under the fed illegal bit to get prison labour for crops. Then claim they stopped prices from getting higher by arresting "drug lords" & making them work fields
If you live near a reservation that sells to the outside community, I really rec'd that. It is 10× cheaper and better quality, youre not giving to some corporate jerk, and you can stock up through the chaos.
We need to be documenting these raids. Why is it so hard to find videos of them happening? Everyone has phones and ring cams, we need to be assembling a mountain of evidence of what's going to be happening if we want people to fight...
They should force people who voted for trump, especially latinos for trump, to go work the fields, factories and construction jobs vacated due raids. (Not a typo. trump is an insignificant man who doesn’t deserve the dignity of having his name capitalized).
This is why they are starting in California and Chicago and New York City. They want to blame blue state governors and let the red state farmers keep the people that work for them. It will go through the courts, deemed unconstitutional but blue states will suffer.
They could easily institute a guest worker program like they had in the UK. Workers come over to harvest then go home. Many Mexican workers don't want to leave their families and communities. They just can't feed them. They'd be happy to go back and forth.
They are deliberately hitting blue states first, and starting with CA given their current problems is beneath contempt. Maga will think this is hilarious but the effect it has will hit the whole country - blue, red, or purple. Disgusting.
By number, California has more registered Republicans than any other state, and that doesn't include all the Unaffiliateds who vote R.
MAGA cuts off its nose to spite its face.
The orange baboon said it is hard to lower prices after all. Wait until they realize prices on groceries, vegetables, and fruits will only double and triple!
I'm on the central coast of California and I haven't heard anything about ice raids in this area. We have the largest strawberry crop and avocado crop in the US...I will hide and house anyone who feels threatened
I am a registered Democrat from NY🇺🇸. Is it ok if I illegally snuck into Germany 🇩🇪, France 🇫🇷 or Australia 🇦🇺 and DEMANDED equal status as a legal, hardworking, tax paying citizen of those countries? to be given free room & board, clothing & food allowance, education!?
Did you sneak into the US from Poland? It's common knowledge that Trump used undocumented laborers from Poland to work on his construction jobs in NY for less than minimum wage. He didn't want to pay Union wages. If they complained, he'd threaten them with deportation.
The victims of these raids are hardworking and pay taxes. They are not given free room and board, nor are they eligible for benefits like EBT. Stop believing maga propaganda.
Yes true but a lot of Latinos were polled and they voted for Trump despite the fact that they are one of his biggest target groups. I wish they would have listened. 😞
They do not understand the damage that this is gonna do to the country. They can’t see past the nose on their face, which they are about to cut off. People vote and they don’t know what they’re voting for because they don’t think beyond a flat surface in their brain and the rest of it is mush.
Nah…they knew exactly what they were voting for, now if you don’t want to acknowledge that then it’s on you and not on them. The American people spoke, we need to accept it.
I refuse to be a sheep that’s gonna be led to slaughter by a government that’s turning into fascism. I will do everything in my power to resist the powers that be. Mask and Trump are not gods. They still have to follow the rules and they’re not therefore courts will step in.
Okay, so they raid and round up people. Then what? Are they going to pay to fly them home? Are they going to house and feed them until they are allowed back into the country they came from?
Why would he? He's already made billions on his first day, and it's no secret he hates people of color, some religions, and the disabled. He's signed hundreds of Executive Orders to harm everyone, except the very wealthy. He has no humanity. No decency. No compassion. No shame.
Undocumented immigrants /do/ pay taxes in the USA, mostly automatic payroll tax, sales tax, & property tax.
$96.7 billion in 2022, ~$9k/person. The ITEP website has detailed breakdowns of federal, state, & local taxation on immigrants.
They pay into social security and get /nothing/ out of it.
It’s definitely not strictly beneficial. Lol. It is a net positive perhaps in limited numbers.
It can drain resources from education and public transportation. No country should prioritize those who came illegally over the needs of their own citizens. That would be inherently flawed policy.
Whoever replied and blocked me lol literally education costs money. If you are here illegally with a family, who pays for your education? What about any of a cities services? Does infrastructure not require resources? Like use common sense lol
So, if education is payed by us for them… and the undocumented get free education, as you claim, well, where can we find that form? What school will take us and someone else will pay? Care to tell us the process?
Illegal immigrants DO pay taxes but yes they cannot collect Social Security or any benefits. Illegal immigrants are given a TIN number since they do not have SSC. There are over 31 million legal immigrants in the US and who knows how many illegal they are but many fields will be impacted.
Each case should be evaluated individually. Some people may have immigrated illegally out of desperation but otherwise be contributing to our society. They should be given a path to legal immigration in those cases. Doing that doesn't hurt anybody and it's more humane. They're just people...
Also... we have declining birth rates, immigration is not only good, it's needed. Illegal immigration isn't ideal but I don't understand why people think this is such a huge problem. We have much bigger problems than that in our country.
Lol? He’s not a dictator hun. He can’t deport people here legally 😂.
You’re the funniest type of people. Trying to be condescending when you know nothing about limits to what the head of the executive branch can do. Get a law degree. Come talk to me after.
They’re literally targeting the blue counties in NC—everyone who voted the “wrong” way is going to pay. He is such a petty, vindictive little snot. Nazi, racist, insurrectionist, too, of course. I’m so scared for people here…
The new Washington AG said there are state laws here that supercede federal mandates. He's coming out swinging. He happens to be winner of Survivor Australia.
I'm reminded that (if I'm remembering correctly) within about 54 days of Hitler becoming Chancellor, the rights of the federated states of Germany had been completely subsumed.

Keep shining the bright lights on their shenanigans. Cockroaches and sneaky operatives don't like the light.
Nothing good ever seems to come about in the dark of the night.
They will also be made to construct their own prison camp.

Also the "largest deportation of violent criminals" and traffickers ... Are they finally going after MAGA?
Jokes aside, they are a stain on this nation.
Gird your loins!
Guess go where find?
Biden welcomed Trump to the White House and said “we’ll get you everything you need” - so here we are.
This is (sadly, heartbreakingly) what the people voted for.
They fucked around. We’re all about to find out.

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*
Trump lied that by the time the sun sets tomorrow, he’ll solve the entire Immigration problem & will shut down the border.
Good luck.
Most people don't realize how serious this really is
Some kids would even randomly yell "La migra!" ("Immigration!") as a joke to see if people panicked
Sick.
But this was common during Nixon
It was called
"Operation Wetback"

Illegal immigrants play a vital role in US agricultural sector
They do not pay taxes but they also get no Social Security, etc

It's not a prioritization, the point is they can be here and it isn't a problem.
