US Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced Saturday that the agency and state law enforcement in Florida have arrested nearly 800 people over four days in a “massive, multi-agency immigration enforcement crackdown.”
Notice the headline says 800 immigrants NOT illegal immigrants. Noting in the article suggested any of the 800+ people arrested were illegally in the country either.
Yeah that is what is so fucked. The narrative rapidly went from criminal illegals only and not ‘regular’ illegals, to any undocumented person, and now to anyone who is just an immigrant.
This is what is scaring the shit out of me. As a Canadian, I can visit the US and stay (but not work) for 6 months out of the year legally… but given the situation they might just arrest me st the border or just after crossing for no fucking reason. This is why I am not going in any time soon.
I’ve told everyone around me, once they run out of one scapegoat to persecute, they find another, it’s what fascists do – because persecuting x group didnt fix y problem, so now the issue must be z group. They’ve moved on so fast because they ran out of illegal immigrants to target. No one seems to listen to me, no one seems to care that after trans people and immigrants it’s going to be the gay and the disabled.

What is the color of your skin? If it’s white, similar to the Family Guy meme, then you will be A-Ok 👍🏻

Did they ever finish going after trans people or accomplish what you think is necessary for them to move on to another group?
I’m not saying that they’re not lying about their operation being illegal immigrants.
However, when multiple sources are using slightly different language, it makes it vastly confusing.
