I'm sure all of the confederate flag-waving bigots we already have here will welcome them w open arms. Between this shit and the christian evangelical mega-church coming to Poultney, VT is well on it's way to becoming the Arkansas of the north.

A string of violent incidents involving U.S. immigration agents in Minneapolis has prompted Vermont officials & local organizers to prepare in case a similar enforcement surge is aimed at them. Vermont forbids police departments from collaborating with federal immigration authorities.

Sadly not true. ICE holds ~500 people in the Plymouth County jail in MA, ~150 people in the Strafford County jail in NH, ~200 people in a federal prison in Berlin, NH, and a few dozen at four county jails through USMS contracts, in Maine (Portland & Wiscasset) and Vermont (Burlington & Swanton).

I see. That sounds nice. These days I seriously wonder if any of us have "guaranteed citizenship" anymore.

zonisonic @zonitron.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

"Voluntary" has often been a vague and abused term within the existing paths we already have to citizenship through enlistment. I served with more than a few immigrants who were surprised to learn a few months into enlistment that they weren't required to join the military to become a citizen.

Army veteran here. We have already had this for awhile, and I still believe it's wrong. Remember how we made the Irish immigrants sign up to fight in the civil war as soon as they got off the boat in NY? Military servitude should never be a requirement as a path to citizenship. Period.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
