A “no work, no school, no shopping” blackout day of protest was kicked off by community leaders, faith leaders and labor unions on Friday in protest against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) surge in the state.
The “Day of Truth & Freedom” protest comes in the wake of the killing of Renee Good, the unarmed woman killed by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis earlier this month.
Nationwide, immigrants with no criminal record continue to make up the largest group in US immigration detention, which is at record levels.

Completely unimportant but i feel like thaw rings better than no ICE...

Imagine making a whole account just to poop on people leveraging the only power they have.

Obama’s administration recorded over 3 million deportations vs Trumps administration recorded over 1.7 million deportations
Rookie numbers Trump lol
UnspecificGravity@piefed.social · 52 pts · 219d
And yet Obama didn't need to send masked goons to occupy entire cities to do that because he isn't a blithering moron.
tino_408@lemmy.world · -56 pts · 219d
To be fair he didn’t have the media saying they were fascist lol and people doxing ice agents
UnspecificGravity@piefed.social · 36 pts · 219d
That is probably because they didn't have masked ICE agents occupying cities and shooting white ladies in the face.
Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip · 20 pts · 219d
You can't dox info that is meant to be public, like the identify of public employees. They're not wearing masks because they're doing things legally.

I think there's some confusion between cause and effect going on in this chain.
SleepyBear@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 219d
Ever stop to think that if the media, opposing party, regular citizens, and even voters in the same party, are all calling these actions facist that maybe...JUST MAYBE..... Its because it reeks of facist ideology and anyone that has studied history during the 1930s+40s know what it looks and sounds like? If everyone is screaming the same fucking thing, MAYBE ITS TIME TO LISTEN INSTEAD OF BURYING YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND.

Hey everyone you can block people like this and you don't have to read their shit. It's super easy and free to do!

If you're using the Voyager app you can tag them as bootlicker or fascist or something similar so that you can watch out for them in the future.

Helpful advice, seriously.

You don’t think they are fascist?
tino_408@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 216d
The fact you can come online and ask that question should tell you your answer lol
anon_8675309@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 216d
A fascist regime doesn’t mean I don’t have internet- especially in its early stages.
What would change your mind? When they start calling into question your constitutional rights? When the cancel elections? Anything else?
tino_408@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 216d
You would think a fascist regime would control the internet kind of like China lol

Obama wasn't in the habit of having unidentified, masked federal agents breaking into citizen's house without warrants, then keeping them in concentration camps, where they die or maybe get arbitrarily deported. People aren't complaining about illegal immigrants getting deported. It's the weaponization if the federal government against citizens and the lack of due process, which is afforded to all individuals regardless of how they ended up in the US.
Your numbers are a strawman argument commonly used by people that don't know what they're talking about or are maliciously arguing in bad faith. Your lack of critical thinking leaves both options up for debate.

3 million over eight years, versus 1.7 million over one year. If Trump doesn't choke on a Big Mac, and keeps this up for 4 years, that would be over 13.5 million.

Didn't they say they were aiming for 100M deported?

His number kept changing as they always do with him. I heard 10 then 11 then 21 million, but never 100 million. I could be wrong.

You’re gonna use an insult you said didn’t mean anything? What a dork.
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 219d
And yet most conservatives think Republicans are better at handling immigration? I think the issue has never been about legal vs illegal immigration, it's about certain people enjoying to see pain inflicted on people who look different to them. Cruelty is the point.
athatet@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 219d
Obama did that over four years compared to trumps one. Not quite the same thing.
PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 219d
80% of which were just turning people round at the border
tino_408@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 219d
So he didn’t deport that many? lol
PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk · 4 pts · 219d
He wasnt sending ICE into court houses to deport people who were following the legal process for claiming asylum
He wasnt sending ICE into neighbourhoods snatching people off the street because of the colour of their skin or the accent they spoke
And when you compare the rates of deportations he won't have gotten anywhere near what Trumps illegal actions have achieved
tino_408@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 219d
lol how do you think he got them then?
