Thank you for the archive.today link, OP.
I skimmed through the article but could not find a clear reason for this new flip-flop. I'm wondering if they are simply unable to reach their horrible quota without getting to their workplaces.
All of this is very sad, it's just heartbreaking.
trump wants 3k deportees a day...
ICE won't go after actual criminals or gang members because they're scared...
They already can't meet the quota, even going after workers allowed to be here. And they're never going after actual criminals because that's dangerous and difficult.
But no matter what they do, they're eventually going to run out of targets who will comply. Either because they deported them all already. Or because they rethought what compliance gets them.
In fascism, when the numbers get too low, the criteria changes. They'll start figuring out how to deport legal immigrants next, or whoever the next most vulnerable group is. They will openly deny it and then they'll just do it, in standard gaslighting fashion.
We are ALL on the list. They chip away at whoever is easiest to target next. They villainize the immigrants, then the religiously different (Muslims, Jews, etc.), then the political enemies, threats or even perceived threats, even within the MAGA camp, and so forth. They just start with the lowest hanging fruit. They won't stop until the orchard is completely stripped and burned down. There are the more safe and less safe but ultimately NO ONE is safe.
Add mental illness, LGBTQ, and autism to that list. It's all straight out of 30s-40s Nazi Germany's playbook.
My impression is that this comes down to internal politics within the crime family, with there being some disagreement over the relative importance of hate and prosperity.
Hate is going to win, obviously.
The nazis like Miller and Johnson are winning over the business wing. Seems about right when comparing to Nazi Germany, too.
You’re Right methusalix
Don't make me menacingly brandish my cane, you pesky whippersnapper!
Yeah yeah Oldtimer 😁
That’s a positive spin.
Pessimistic me expected this all along; the goal is to make immigrants feel unsafe no matter where they are, even if ICE only targets some areas when they feel like it.
It’s the same way Trump approaches everything else.
The hallmarks of incompetent governance.
