Every planned raid is in a city controlled by Democrats

[malaise]

Wake the fuck up people

[democratisphere]

1. Woke up a long time ago.

WTF can be done about it with executive order dictator don calling the shots. I f'ing can't stand rethuglicons.

[ripcord]

27. He doesn't need an executive order for this

He is enforcing the law as it is written and without changing them there is nothing of substance that can be done.

[Ponietz]

29. The Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment prohibits selective enforcement of the laws

[ripcord]

32. There is no selective enforcement

The immigration laws have been upheld repeatedly, ignoring facts doesn't solve anything, we have to change the laws or we are just pissing in the wind,

[Ponietz]

36. "Every planned raid is in a city controlled by Democrats" is selective enforcement

The laws are another matter to be discussed in a separate OP, but if the raids are conducted in only cities with Democratic Party leadership there is much to be done, unless there is a USSC opinion that squarely addresses this issue, in which case I would appreciate your citation.

[cannabis_flower]

37. Aren't most large cities..

controlled by Democrats? Even in Texas the cities are blue and the rest of the state is red.

[Ponietz]

38. Let's see what happens in El Paso and Ft. Worth, San Diego, Fresno, Okla. City, Jacksonville...

2. Of course it is

This foul plan is nothing if not transparent. California is the main target.

[Initech]

3. Of course, it's a white supremacist "fuck you".

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. Another reason why I think they are trying to incite violence.

They need conflict to promote their hateful message. Without conflict, no one pays them any attention.

[mcar]

5. This!

[jberryhill]

6. That's not actually true

But, hey, what's truth matter these days, amirite?

The mayor of Miami is a Republican.

[cwydro]

20. They used to have raids in Key West when I lived there, long before the shitgibbon was president.

Scooped up lots of East Europeans as well as Central Americans, even Canadians and British. It went on periodically for years. I assume it has continued.

We’d know when the raids were on because Dunkin Donuts would be closed due to lack of employees, none of the hotel housekeeping staff showed up, etc., etc.

I’ll bet they’ll be down there too.

[ecstatic]

7. Because they don't want deplorable voters to see what trump's plans

*REALLY* look like when implemented. How would deplorables react to the kidnapping of people they know, love and had no idea were undocumented? Who knows? Afterall, they are deplorable. But clearly, it's a risk dump doesn't want to take.

[Volaris]

46. I agree, and I will add...

'If ICE comes here and clears the place out, Ill have to pick my own produce and cut my own lawn...pResident LovesAmerica would NEVER make my racist Republican ass suffer such an un-white indignity...'

[Hoyt]

8. Screw trump and his ignorant white wing supporters demanding this. Of course, most major cities

have Democratic governments. I think that is good, except in cases like this. Hope trump's purge fails, and courts do their job.

[guillaumeb]

9. All part of the narrative of "scary brown cities"

intended to promote fear among white Americans.

[BigmanPigman]

10. The only reason he is doing this is to show his cult how tough he is.

His entire mind is focused on reelection and every political action/decision is a campaign move. He lost the census decision by the SCOTUS and needs to look strong and tough for his base. Everything he does from now on is a show for his base to get reelected and not to run a govt.

[Blue_true]

31. Exactly. As the election of 2020 draws nearer, his actions will get worse.

For him it is all about taking personal advantage of something, he does not give a shit about collateral damage.

[Volaris]

50. To paraphrase the Fellowship of the Ring:

'...his very freedom is bound to his reelection, and so his reelection MUST succeed. Fascism has returned, and Trump needs only this reelection to cover all the lands in a SECOND Darkness. He is seeking it, seeking it; all his thought is bent on it. Nancy, he must NEVER FIND IT....'

[BigmanPigman]

53. At this point he knows he will go to prison

and lose his assets if he doesn't win. As you said, he is desperate and this is making him extremely dangerous every single day until the election.

[maxsolomon]

11. Most major cities are controlled by Dems

Because that's where us Librulz live.

Trying to think of a city that isn't. Heck, Salt Lake City is run by a Dem.

[Aristus]

12. Jacksonville, Florida used to be extremely right-wing, from what I understand.

But I've heard even they have drifted to the left in recent years.

[maxsolomon]

13. I guess that's a major city.

Being in the opposite corner of the Lower 48, it never really enters my mind except during the NFL season.

I did say "most", though. Not "all".

[Blue_true]

33. Yes, Jacksonville has drifted left decidedly.

But it now has a republican Mayor because the democrat before him made a fucking mess of things. When our party takes over a region or city, we as voters need to insure that we are electing competent, ethical democrats to lead, not idiots that end up causing republicans to get elected.

[GulfCoast66]

45. Jacksonville is an outlier. The entire county is in the city.

An unusual situation. We’re its traditional downtown area it own city it would be blue.

But all the suburbs in the county are actually in the city limits.

[grantcart]

42. Exactly. Phoenix and Tucson are so heavily Democratic that Republicans don't even run

Mayoral race for Phoenix just finished with 2 Dems against each other

[PBC_Democrat]

14. All of the people targeted have been thru the courts ..

and have had deportation orders issued.

What is your solution?

They had their day in court .. and were told to leave.

Are you suggesting that we, as a country, just ignore that fact?

[Mr.Bill]

16. This might seem like an off-the-wall idea to you,

but how about if we start giving more people a path to citizenship. Not if they are convicted criminals, of course. But if they are law abiding citizens dragging them away from there families, some of whom may be citizens, at dawn is not a good idea in my opinion.

[Blue_true]

34. I favor permanent green cards for those that are law abiding.

And as long as they obey the laws of their locality and the country, they are welcome here. Those people have kids that were born here and are citizens and kids that are not citizens but only know this country as home. Those families should not be broken up.

[SHRED]

18. You think the system works?

WTH?

People don't get notified sometimes.
Sent to wrong address, etc...

Many mistakes in this FUBAR system.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

25. Link? Something that doesn't just quote Trump - because he lies. nt

[ecstatic]

52. Fine. But do it in a dignified f*cking way!

Not with swat teams raiding homes in the middle of the night and forcefully kidnapping anyone who happens to be at that address. How would you like it if you were (accidentally) swooped up and thrown in the back of the van as well? And what if someone is wrongfully deported and doesn't have the funds to get a lawyer and prove his/her identity?

Many people believe that it is impossible for a U.S. citizen to be mistaken for an undocumented immigrant. However, each year hundreds of American citizens endure this violation of civil rights. ICE’s documentation failures, overburdened immigration courts and lack of attorney representation for defendants play a significant role in the wrongful deportation and ICE holds of U.S. citizens.

[Mr.Bill]

15. Excellent.

Large cities controlled by Democrats is where they will get the least cooperation and be least effective and successful. It will be on display what a bunch of inept clowns they are.

I find it interesting that when the Mayor of Oakland, CA warned her city about impending ICE sweeps recently the rebublicans all screamed that she was endangering the live of the agents, blah, blah, Treason! blah, blah, Hate America, blah, blah. But when Trump gives prior notification, silence from all of them.

[rufus dog]

17. But we have people posting today about AOC needing to .....!!!???

Game on Mother Fuckers, and for those of you posting the ignorant shit.

You are either ignorant or a a troll.

DUCK!

[malaise]

28. DUCK

or ignore and the trolls are everywhere

[keithbvadu2]

19. How about the republican owned farms and factories?

How about the republican owned farms and factories?

[Midnight Writer]

21. And hotels and golf courses?

[appalachiablue]

44. check

[appalachiablue]

43. +1 Nada, zip

[duforsure]

22. He's doing this to use as an excuse

And to create conflict with. He wants chaos and conflict so he can start people protesting, then he'll declare martial law to have absolute power , over the GOP and Dems, and over the SC. He will next start on all minorities that aren't white, doing things to hurt them badly with. He will not stop until he hurts everyone except the most corrupt, like Putin has done in Russia. He demands everyone to be as hate driven and corrupt as he is , or else.

[pazzyanne]

41. tRump cleared out the illegals that have been working for him for years

a couple of months age. He was setting the stage for exactly these actions that he is taking now. On a slightly different but still similar issue, I do not think deporting the families of people serving in the US military is a smart idea either. We need to create a path to citizenship for people who are showing they are good potential citizens for the US, not turn ICE and Border Patrol on them.

[DFW]

23. Well, DUH

If the Republicans could find a justification to storm the City Hall of each city with a SWAT team with shoot-to-kill orders, you had better believe they would do it.

Yes, it HAS gotten to that point.

[malaise]

30. Yep

The legitimate opposition is now the enemy

[Lucky Luciano]

24. To be fair, what urban area is controlled by republicans?

Oklahoma City maybe?

[Blue_true]

35. Someon the South.

But the republicans are on a short leash. Jacksonville Florida, Miami Florida, Orange County Florida (was) are several prime examples.

[mitch96]

26. As usual he is playing to his base and Liberal cities are easy targets...

Hitting two birds with one stone... fucker.......
m

[Takket]

39. because ripping migrant workers out of the fields doesn't play well with his base

[Historic NY]

40. Lets see if they hit the churches

where most Latino's will be.

[firstwife]

47. Not necessarily all...

I live in the Benton and Franklin County area in eastern Washington, you know, the part they want to break off at the mountains and turn into a state called "Liberty". That part of Washington. Those good ol boys are just Itchin to put on their black vests, load up their weapons, get into their armored vehicles and head out to all the farms this weekend, round 'em up some brown people and haul 'em away. Right at the peak of summer harvest. And our local sheriffs and police are More than willing to patriotically provide support and assistance. While we do have a growing segment of the population who are Democrats, and I believe a strong democratic presence here, and much more diversity than ever before, we are surrounded by the money people and all the farmers who love their MAGA hats and their broken MAGA promises. I am sick at the thought of what is going to happen. Trying to find out if there is some way I can help - looking into what the federal penalties and laws surrounding this are. But, I know what my deceased former bombardier father would say about this administration if he were here. I know exactly. He would say, "Sons of bitches."

[malaise]

49. Love your post

[bdamomma]

48. Yes they are

They listed the states sound like blue states to me. They want to round up Democrats, it will get to that, if the country doesn't wake the fuck up.

[Lunabell]

51. We must impeach!

Get off your asses, congress!

[hughee99]

54. How many major cities are controlled by republicans? Nt
