One of the greatest political deceptions in modern history has come to fruition, and the White House is struggling to meet the moment it created with its immigration culture war
40+ armed ICE & BP plus a helicopter at a swap meet in Santa Fe Springs on Father’s Day. Some folks pulled out of. Porti-Potty? And for what? 20+ people? The strawberries are rotting in the fields here because farmworkers are afraid to go to work. How do they earn money to feed their families? What the fuck is wrong with this country? What are the numbers for white criminals roaming the streets? I am so tired of this bullshit.
It goes back to "the cruelty is the point." It is unconscionable that people are going through the process, showing up to court dates and having their cases dropped and being immediately deported; a horrible and cruel trick when adhering to the law. Targeting places like the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet on Father's Day or graduations and gatherings is beyond egregious. The racism is so palpable. One only has to be online and read chat comments while streaming various protests to read the abject bigotry of those who write "deport them all." We have been living with the collective demonization and inhumanity of the orange man and his administration for too long. Every day is an anxiety inducing nightmare that we cannot awaken from. Thank you for your perspective, insight and reporting.
Sadly, bigotry is trendy these days. They think it's cool to hide behind fake profiles and say racist garbage while bots pick up the rhetoric and amplify it.
I was also just reading an article in HuffPost about people who have disappeared into CECOT; in that first disgusting sweep he did that included Kilmar Abrego Garcia and others for the photo/film op. They have no record of being in the system as if they never existed.
There was some reporting regarding Delaney Hall and an uprising, but have not heard anything more about it. Understandably there is SO MUCH going on…To think that back in the day, CNN with Ted Turner pioneered the 24 hour news cycle…

All of this.

I saw that story too. These people are seriously deranged. They just can't get enough of doing harm to people.
