Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Huh. I thought whites would be safer than that in the USA.
My bad. If you're not an unequivocal citizen, don't have white skin, and/or don't have plenty of money, GTFO of the USA. You're not safe there.
No one is safe under fascism, not even the fascists.

This is the third case of this happening to an Irish green card holder that I'm aware of.
They've quotas to make.
Back in day Irish were not considered white. America is regressing.
This guy violated his travel visa and overstayed. He was in the middle of the greencard process after marrying a US citizen and received exemption while he waits. Trump isn't honoring these exemptions anymore and sending ICE after these people. We've been seeing this happen a lot with people who originally violated the terms of their visa and tried making things right afterwards but aren't yet greencard holders.
It's literally impossible to make it through the green card process without overstaying your visa. The Excutive branches choices to violate court orders, ignore due process, and erase everyone's constitutional rights is a fair bit more than "not honoring exemptions anymore". The right (and you apparently) keep trying to justify the daily atrocities by claiming that if people only followed the law they wouldn't be targeted; that is patently and obviously false.
Selective enforcement was always implied/expected. You can see it all over their surprised MAGAchu faces when they break the law and get arrested. Their parasocial relationship to their dear leader causes them to literally expect preferential treatment because of their loyalty / skin tone.
So they dgaf about people following the law. They just hate brown people.
