My husband and I are Latinos born and raised in Texas. We have 3 boys. I am deeply disturbed by this treatment of these men’s. Especially when the dictators in chief wants to pick up Americans too. Our families have lived in the Americas longer than the Trumps have. We belong more! We are willing to share. Don’t make us regret it more. 🙏🏼

And did you vote for him? Only you know that answer…..don’t be a fool and buy into anymore of his promises as they are all lies. VOTE BLUE even if no one is running you like, anything will be better. We do have some very good candidates looking to run in the midterms and in 2028. Just make it BLUE or learn to love what he is putting out now.

Patricia if you are asking me, I can assure you that my husband and I are yellow dog Democrats. I am also part of the Democratic Party County leadership. I knocked on over 1000 doors and call over 600 phone calls. What did you do? I am also a senior citizen so I’m not young. See how those 3 fingers are pointing to you, now. ☺️

Thank you I just made calls for Smart Elections it gets old hearing the voted for trump. There’s a town in New York that’s republican. You get hung up on, don’t have time, not interested. A let down for sure.

Thank you, I am also a very senior woman in a small town. I do as you, calling my senators, representatives and talk to people face to face and on the phone.I am a protesting Democrat and very proud of it but I am fearful for this country. At my age I won’t be around to see the worst of it. My heart aches for those that will. Project 2025 is way over half accomplished and if not stopped will continue till completed. America will not look or be the same. Taco boy is old and being used by his cronies for this achievement, once done they will throw him out like old bath water. The damage will be done and Americans will pay the price.

Please don’t think I was criticizing you, I am just so tired of those who support him.

I guess you didn’t do anything to get out the vote? 🤔

Thank you, you had me at the headline, then the description, the first sentence, first paragraph, entire article!!!

I’ve been inside quietly completing freaking out about all this!

As a born and raised New Yorker of the sixties and seventies, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island the ferry boats so much a part of my reality, awareness that we are a refuge for oppressed, an asylum. Immigrants were/are the very fabric of the city at that time. My day I would intermingle with, Irish, Italians, Polish, Jewish, Hungarians, Puerto Ricans, Arabs, Ethiopians and African Americans everyday!

I mated in the eighties as what is coined “a love couple” as those were the results of the civil rights movement. My child has a Caribbean father. Since this despot and Gestapo force are unfortunately now a disgusting evil reality I’ve had a knot in my stomach all the time!!

What message is this sending to my interracial college age son and his peers??!!!

This is unadulterated fascism Amerikkkan style!

Make it stop now!

I hear you Dierdre, if it’s any consolation, I believe America will overcome this self inflicted wound. My concern is not if, but when and how much damage will have been done. - Martin

Excellent post. I think the ProPublica/PBS coverage went into further detail than the 60 minutes on CeCot. We have Alligator Alley in Florida State run detention center with many abuses , including unsanitary water and placing detainees into a “box” many detainees are missing from DHS list . GEO a private run detention center are hiring Bounty Hunters to escalate the deportations . All this moral depravity it's horrifying.

This victim is wearing a shirt with a Nike logo. Corporate CEOs are aiding and abetting the regime in its torturous behavior . This photo should be used to shame Nike into speaking out against the Regime. They should ´just do it.’!

Thank you for your amazing articles that give such articulation to the subject. It is, of course, our regime that is creating the crisis… but Trump was elected and still has the support of a gross 38% of the population, some of whom are quick to articulate their opinions on your page. We are a country that is a mix of people with backgrounds and ideals that vary widely, and it never seems to narrow. The Civil War never put certain ideologies to rest and racism and conservatism is strongly regarded and represented. It is disheartening that 150 years hasn’t shifted the deep seated animosity that runs through our society. I don’t know what would.

The founding fathers acknowledged that the constitution would work only if people are fundamentally moral. President I-like-to-punch-down is profoundly immoral, and suffers from a disorder formerly known as "moral insanity" and "moral idiocy." Empowering this disordered person immediately after the Supreme Court declared anything the president does is automatically legal, is among the dumbest things ever done by any people, anywhere.

Who owns these concentration camps??

Always follow the money.

They're starting with immigrants, who is the next vulnerable community they target??

Truth Matters's avatar

Circo and CoreCivic it’s BIG money for them.

Glad you mentioned future generations. But what about us in this generation studying the reasons we got to this moment ?

Everyone is sucked into the trump debacle. Fortunately he and others enamored by the success of deceit will be gone soon enough based on the statistics you and others site. I hope by that time or sooner you and others have outlined alternatives, legal, practical, and moral that will be fought for with the same energy you’ve put into exposing the chaos we all are presently suffering.

Otherwise I’m afraid there may be more of the same not to far in the future .

You can’t solve a problem unless you know you have one. I have spoken at length previously on what the focus needs to be. Don’t shoot the messenger, I didn’t vote for this. I suggest you take a broader look at my body of work.

Until there is a revolution within the Democratic Party, I’m afraid you will be recipients of the same old same old.

This is total abuse, they weren’t killed as the nazi killed the Jews but their inner spirit was killed. Wake up people, he has control over the immigrants now and will soon choose his next victims. Who will it be????This must stop!We as Americans must see this stopped, otherwise they will be at your door knocking.
