Trump is cruel, cruel man who will use someone else's misery to become president. And he isn't alone, there are a whole lot of Republican sycophants who allow help him do this. He relies on hatred, ignorance, misinformation, and fear to get the Republican voters to vote for him. Shame on anyone who tries to profit from such cruelty!

I think it is the rabid cruelty going on that has turned people's minds on the problem. Ice agents are grabbing every brown person they can find and keeping them hidden for weeks or forever. Sending them to a gulag in a poor country instead of returning them to the place they came from is another affront to our people. They have no court appearance to present testimony about their presence in the US. A very few have been able to convince someone that they have a legal presence here but not many. And they are disobeying the courts when they tell them to stop. Let's face it. The average American disapproves of rabid cruelty. That God awful camp in a LA swamp doesn't appeal to our sense of justice.

This would be good news if the thugs actually cared. They don't. They have all the weapons and no entity can or will stop them from their agenda. They have SCOTUS, the FBI, the DOJ, and all the other stuff. They have the guns, an army of officers and permission. They have their endless lies being sucked up by the believers who will always believe. Bad polls will not be enough for what is still coming down the pike.

Maybe it's because his regime is Not deporting illegal immigrants and the corrupt cartels he insisted were bringing fentynal into our cities. He is harassing hard working, tax paying immigrants that help support our society. Just a guess though! They are idiots - corrupt idiots who are wasting our tax dollars on detention and deportation.

That's why it's so bad, ice cant find the real criminals so they round up the easy to find and call it a day. 3,000 a day makes Stephen Miller the evil one.

What is the problem with kids picking pot. They need the money same as you do. The job is not dangerous or slavery so what is your problem. Do you think kids should not be around plants or what?

You are the one who has made the job "slave-like conditions". Do you know that? And do you think those kids should be kept in a country that wants to abuse, kill, enlist in gangs, sex traffic them etc is better than a job in the US? Have you been to Central America? Have you seen how kids live and are treated? This is not slavery to those kids. And do you think it is better for ICE to kidnap them and imprison them in concentration camp conditions? I bet you like that last part don't you ric. DID YOU VOTE FOR DONNIE DEAD BODIES RIC?????????

This is classic authoritarianism - create a problem, to which the solution is police-state tactics.

Hypothetically, if ICE completed this task of deporting alien criminals (?), what would be the next task for this now newly increased military unit? It will certainly not be downsized or disbanded; there will be another, similar task. We need to continue our efforts to reverse this, while we support , in whatever ways possible, our immigrant communities.

We all need to be concerned about the money that’s going to be appropriated in the big ugly bill for ICE. When one way we can counter it is to support the Padilla and Booker

bill to have Ice remove their masks and identify themselves on the streets.

The real danger are his behind the scenes handlers; more needs to be published about them as trump is only the front man for now. He will be discarded as needed

Goebells started this misinformation beat and the trumpster is running with it now. It’s easier because of social media. Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave. All of friends who support drumf don’t take in any mainstream news. Ignorance is forgivable, apathy is not.

It's about time, and they'd be even more against it if they'd open their eyes and quit watching all those absurd "news" channels. One can only hope all the cruelty, including the incarceration facilities, wake them up to what the Rs are really like.

His immigration “reforms” are cruel and un Li American. He is a despot thrusting his power around to show how strong he is. We need 10,000 ICE agents like we need a Civil War.

I think the next person deported should be our ignorant evil POTUS - deport his fat ass to outer space. I'm sure Musk would provide a rocket!
