  1. Hello. I am a computer repair specialist. I have a computer that was left in my shop by a guy named Baron trump and never picked it up. Anyone know a way to contact him?

  2. Refocusing police efforts on a wild goose chase to find as many people as humanly possible to deport is just going to make every day life unsafer

    American citizens are more likely to commit crimes than migrants legal or not

  3. I was just reading about how farm owners are reporting that their workers in Kern County, California (a major citrus region) aren’t showing up because of fears of deportation. the gall to be lamenting your harvest because of you hired too many undocumented immigrants. the employers should be the ones getting arrested.

  4. Get ready for supply side issues. And supply chain workers that are left be prepared to do lots more work for the same amount of pay you’ve been getting I bet. It’s in the interest of national security.

  5. The effect that this is going to have on food prices – among many other things – is going to completely fuck the working class into full-fledged poverty.

  6. There’s a new sheriff in town. He’s an imbecile

  7. Wait til he deputizes regular MAGA folks as a sort of immigration militia. Thats the sign to look for to know we’re fucked.

  9. Well we’ve seen this before, heavily armed Feds riding around random cities jumping at the first person who, ‘Matches the description of…”

  10. So much for cutting down on government costs… Trump as usual was full of shitty promises he never intended to keep.

  11. What could go wrong when agents never trained in, or experienced with, immigration are told to find illegal immigrants from among the general population?

    No matter what your position on immigration, the danger to innocent US citizens is obvious.

  14. One step towards deputizing the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers… Shit’s about to get real

  15. Untrained and unconstrained. How long before casualties?

  17. He claims they are deporting gang members and then tries to deport a warehouse manage that is a citizen because he is not white. F*÷k you if you voted for this disaster of a human being

  18. Wow, we jumped straight to the brown shirts. So embarrassed to be an American right now.

  19. They detained a veteran yesterday because she “looked like an illegal”

  20. Can you imagine if we as a nation put this kind of effort into protecting our schools from school shooters?

  22. After pardoning VIOLENT insurrections, Trump order to harass and detain innocent people, terrorizing the whole nation. This is a disgrace, it’s violating the fourth amendment

  23. Immigrants today, US citizens tomorrow. The border is just a start. They will move on to rounding up Americans who oppose the felon eventually.

  24. I predict the next time we have civil unrest, like back in 2020, Trump will declare a national emergency and use it to deputize militia groups like Proud Boys and Oath Keepers as his personal Gestapo units to bust up protests.

    Edit: Trump would need to invoke the insurrection act.

    >§252. Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority
    Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion

  25. Probably with little to no training. This is going to be a clusterfuck – and exactly what Trump wants. Much easier to walk off with the day’s receipts if the store is on fire.

  26. Replace “immigrant” with “Jew” and I assure you Republicans still won’t care.

  27. The last time that Trump did this they came to my state and murdered a man.

    >On September 3, 2020, Danielson’s suspected killer, Michael Reinoehl, an American anti-fascist[3][5] activist[6][7] was shot and killed by a federally led fugitive task force near Lacey, Washington.[8][9] Reinoehl had admitted to killing Danielson in an interview shortly before his death, claiming it was in self-defense

    Despite this federal agencies which weren’t required to wear body cameras didn’t engage with any local PD and they (8 different cops) someone “accidentally” killed the guy who made a video prior to his surrender that he was unarmed and willing to go be tried to self defense.

    Federal deputized agents came to our town and killed him and left. The local PD was PISSED at the time.

    But 🤷‍♂️ fascists just gonna kill you if you get in their way.

    Make no mistakes, the killings will start but you won’t hear about it as they’re controlling the media, Murdochs have purchased almost every news outlet in the US.

  29. Notice how it’s illegal immigrants being targets and not businesses that employ them.

  30. 76 million fucking idiots wanted this.

    I’m embarrassed to be American.

  31. All this is is a racial purge of non whites

    I’ll never understand how non whites went for this, thinking they’ll be excused from it 

  32. “Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”
