As he backs Trump and Stephen Miller’s anti-immigrant purge, Republican Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen’s hog business employs undocumented workers. This is one of America’s worst-kept secrets. US businesses—including the Trump Organization—have depended on undocumented labor.

They are trying to expand the prerogative state. If this is allowed to stand, an ICE officer can sign a warrant and walk into any house, whether the person is there or not. There will be no check provided by a judge. It will eviscerate the Fourth Amendment for ICE.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

They can’t turn America into a white nation. There have been generations of non-white immigrants who have come to the United States and made U.S. a diverse and wonderful place. They are playing a losing game. They may win this battle but they have already lost the war.

In light of today’s SCOTUS decision, every person of color with an accent in the US should probably carry proof of citizenship with them at all times - while working and everywhere they go. If you don’t want to be in a detention facility awaiting a friend or relative to bring it.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Do you really think these people will be satisfied after they manage to kick out millions of undocumented immigrants, close our borders, and end legal immigration? This is an ideological project. White nationalism doesn't care about immigration status. It's about purity and dominance.
