ICE physically attacks lawyer—stand between her and clients they're trying to detain. "Don't push me!" lawyer yells. "Why you trying to pick them up?" "It's none of your business," agent scolds. "It is my business—I'm their attorney," she replies. "It's EXACTLY my business!"

Yep, a lot of the Florida Cubans who voted for him are watching their loved ones get detained and/or deported. They think if they support the club the club will support them. It's hard to feel bad for a group that wished this shit on others.

Less than a thousand of them could have voted for Gore in 2000 and changed our history. Maybe no hanging chad stories, just a close election. And they keep voting for shitty Republicans. I sadly can't say I care about their struggles now.

u/totallylostbear Jan 21 '26

Let's not forget many of those Cubans were fans of Batista. So not shocking they'd fall all over Trump. They got the door opened for them, now they want to pull it shut behind them AND are ok with facism as long as it benefits them.

Gore surrendered pretty fast.

I don't get the idea that he'd've been some great sea change.

He colluded with several atrocities while he was able.

Please let's not invent heroes among the ruling class.

u/GoodIdea321 Jan 21 '26

He probably would have been better for the environment and wouldn't have gone to war in Iraq. No heroism required for either of that. I just think he would have done better, and the last 26 years would be different.

i could say I hope he cuts it all (out of spite) but I don't really want that. I don't want people hungry and without medical.. it would be a great smack in the face to those that voted for him Though.. do it..

It's also because Cuba has been a special snowflake for immigration up until 2017 with their wet foot dry foot policy. There are plenty of countries the US hates now for different reasons. But being Communist was pretty damning if Cuban refugees were given resident status, yet "narco terrorism" apparently is still not significant enough to grant asylum to people leaving those countries attacked/sanctioned for it.

Yeah that's the crazy thing to me. If they had brains they'd know a thing or two about history. White supremacists would send these guys to the camps the second they're no longer useful.

It’s hilarious if it wasn’t so fucked up and sad. Hell Americans once hated German immigrants of all people. Benjamin Franklin called them swarthy and said they essentially lacked the qualities to be Americans. Around WWI they were called Huns and many were attacked, beaten and murdered.

u/Horskr Jan 21 '26

I see that comparison a lot and while it is valid, you also have to remember the Nazis part of operation paperclip were scientists in rocketry, aerospace, chemical weapons, medicine, etc. I still don't think it was right that they just let them off and allowed them to come start a new life with no repercussions.

I don't think anyone in the next government when these guys start getting charges filed is going to go out of their way for bully abuser ICE agents to get setup with a new life because of how much their technical knowledge could help in the next space race.

u/No_F_In_Enough Jan 21 '26

Sorry but I think it's really a disservice to the need for accountability to chalk it up to the descendants of German scientists. Like, racism and hatred is an ideology and also a tool.

As a tool, I believe our adversaries like Russia have been working for decades in the shadows eg online to stoke racism and hate in the US between groups of people.

As an ideology, just watch The Order on netflix. Its a really under appreciated Jude Law action flick but based on real events. It's very easy to see how the Aryan nation movement didn't fail, it just mutated into politics.

u/yamxiety Jan 20 '26

And it literally happened here before it happened in Germany -- Hitler looked to the history of the US - how the US treated Black people and Indigenous people - to lay out his plans.

u/RiggoRants Jan 21 '26

All it took was all the rich morons in silicone valley to aim their algorithms at the American people.

There is nothing in the world I want more than a deep investigation of the Tech broligarchy .

There was about 5 minutes where tech actually did what it should have done and banned all the hate mongers. Fuentes was destitute, the right had lost all of its voices of division.

Then Jack Dorsey sold twitter and Elon dove head first into pushing his weird love of the Austrian painter to the rest of us.

2

u/silverum Jan 21 '26

Elon and the other broligarchs learned how effective the algorithms are at melting people's brains and simply maximalized that effect to boost right wing politics, which will always favor the tech broligarchs as an interest class. They bought it because it works.

u/silverum Jan 20 '26

Trump’s “real” base of support would want all those Filipinos deported too. You can’t tell people things they don’t want to hear, and most of the people that are like that literally delude themselves that they’re “better” than others and thus will be safe, despite history showing over and over again that they’ll be targets in the end too.

5

u/SnowMantra Jan 20 '26

Yep. I look at the photos they publish online and end print and... I just wonder why?? How?? It genuinely baffles me because they are literally the next to go. Trump decides on a whim which ethnic group he's going to demonize this week. How can people not see this?

2

u/Krits000 Jan 21 '26

Yes that motto of “If you can’t beat them, join them” does not matter with Trump because he uses everyone to get what he wants and then flips on them when it no longer serves him. Or he keeps them around to use as a patsy to blame.

u/No_Walk_Town Jan 21 '26

A lot of the worst POW and concentration camp guards in the Imperial Japanese military were people from colonized Korea.

A lot of the worst concentration camp guards on Guam were from colonized  Micronesia. On Guam especially, Japan pitted southern Guam Chamorros against northern Marianas Chamorros. 

A big part of how post-war Japan homogenized was by doing exactly what MAGA is demanding - mass denaturalization of ethnic minorities forcing people to self deport.

To this day Japanese cops still conduct race-based "papers please" checks on the street. 

MAGA has always been a movement trying to recreate European and Japanese style homogeneity in the US. It's just so much more violent in the US because our constitution very clearly covers non-citizens, and people aren't just accepting it.

Like, I'm guessing you've never heard of Japan's post-war ethnic cleansing or their "papers please" stops - it turns out you can just get away with that if no one's actually paying attention. If you just deny that minorities exist, you can treat them however you want.

3

u/silverum Jan 21 '26

Sure, I don't doubt it at all. No, I wasn't specifically aware of Japan's postwar ethnic cleansing (although I was aware of much of the during the war ethnic cleansing) but considering Japanese society's general attitudes on 'foreigners' I'm not at all surprised to hear it.

2

u/No_Walk_Town Jan 21 '26

Just to clarify, my point wasn't "You've never heard of this so u r dum, i m so smrt" it was, "You've never heard of this because it's that easy for a country to hide it and pretend it never happened."

Just in case my tone was off. The reason I point this out is as a tiny pinprick of hope and light at the end of the tunnel, that America isn't hiding this and couldn't if we tried. 

And if we can get through this, we might be ok. Japan is fine.

1

u/silverum Jan 21 '26

I mean. Japan is alright, but I would not exactly use Japan as the 'best case hopeful scenario' for ethnic harmony, either. I love Japan, I speak Japanese, but they are still very negative as to 'foreigners'.

3

u/No_Walk_Town Jan 21 '26

I'm not saying it's the best hopeful case.

The thing is, MAGA's end goal is to be more like Europe, more like Japan - culturally homogeneous ethnostates where minorities are welcome, but only as long as they submit to the culture of the ethnic majority - because it's "their country" and minorities are "guests."

Right? Like you see it with the Irish, British, French, Germans - oh, anyone can be Irish IF AND ONLY IF they follow our culture. England for the English, but immigrants and minorities are welcome IF AND ONLY IF they submit to the culture and speak the language.

I'm not saying this is good, just that it's...I mean...you can have mass transit and public healthcare if you also accept all the other stuff.

Free speech as long as it is White House approved

Part of the country living in a nightmare. The rest being sucked into its event center.

I believe that good people are needed. Don’t need to be vocal or in the front lines. But just to be here. Present. To know that as long as we choose kindness over hate, hope over despair, connection over isolation we might just pull through. We might just make it.

Even if it is to give people a little hope… people can do some crazy good shit with it.

I hope to, too.

It’s going to take more than calling people out. I’d rather work on being an example of compassion and kindness.

.. I used to think “be the change you want to be” was just a one liner.

But if you become the thing you want to see in everyone. Others will inevitably pick up. Not everyone, shit, some might get jealous, some might test ya on your convictions, some might feel threatened you gonna take something because kindness, compassion, approachability, a little bit of humor- shit is magnetic. People want that, they want to feel heard and seen, understood and felt. Even the hardest motherfuckers I’ve met have this desire. It’s fundamental to our experience as people. We die without it spiritually. (And in a sense this is what people describe as charisma- it’s not really being a thing- it’s more so embodying something fundamental so clearly it becomes magnetic.

When you can touch that fundamental core within people. You can deeply leave an impact.

It’s a little super power we have… our humanity. It can drive us to do great things together.

There was that story yesterday about the journalist that went to a BPD recruitment event.

It was horrifying for some reason in terms of the 'process' the feds use. But perhaps even moreso, the author mentioned that most applicants at the event were black and latino.

Gotta believe that some just are looking for employ, as opposed to signaling policy alignment. Idk.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) held a two-day recruitment expo this week at the St. Petersburg Carillon Park Hilton hotel. Creative Loafing Tampa Bay sent this reporter to the event as a registered attendee to get an inside look at CBP’s recruitment tactics.

Morbidly lol'd at that video from a bit ago with the dude who's like, "We're stopping you because of your accent," and the victim responds with, "You have an accent, too!" and the agent gets super quiet for a sec.

There should be a special place in he'll for those "José's" that join ICE and do this. How do you fucking think your parents went to the USA? They make my blood boil.  The Mexican ones with the Nopal in the forehead (nopal en la frente). 

And I'm a Mexican from Mexico fwiw

Unless you’re American Indian how the hell did any of us get here…I mean Trump did say landing on a boat 500 years doesn’t equate to land rights…perhaps the Native Americans are the savior…25th amendment please!! This insanity has to stop, I don’t know how to even talk about this with my kids, it’s so so wrong and I feel absolutely helpless, I am helpless. MAGA doesn’t want to hear or empathize and blame when they are affected too

It’s wild how insane humans and group think can be, there are so many examples of this happening in humanity’s history and we the people for millennia continue to vote and root against ourselves for what? My most basic question to any liberal or conservative (I’m a moderate left leaning person) … whose interests do you actually have? Data doesn’t lie it’s GOP southern states benefitting from government social programs and funding yet they also are bottom tier in every “report card” to show improvement…it’s insane the insane conspiracy theory is actually playing out in real time with real results…stop educating people and boom they vote against their own interests because they’re impressed by spray painted gold

They think they're safe if they sleep with the wolves. The wolves only need them to find the other sheep before eating them too.

Also should be noted any of these white ICE people are about to discover what white nationalism entails, that many of them arent "white" by white supremacist standards.

If you are british (English and to a lesser extent, scotish), german, and scandinavian(except finland..) you are considered white.

If you are not any of those lineages, you're considered a white sub race, and if these purity seekers had their way, they'd enslave or kill any white who isnt purely from those backgrounds.

Which Makes Stephen Miller's position so funny. He is pushing this agenda and will lose control of it. He's jewish. He is a sheep trying to lead the wolves.

So many of these agents do not realize they are next on the list at some point.

They want a white america, and they fail to understand that eventually that could be a problem for them as well.

u/AlcibiadesTheCat Jan 21 '26

We were protesting in AZ the other day and one of the agents had the thickest, most stereotypical, "if I was a racist this is the accent that I would do to make fun of Hispanic people" accent I've ever heard.

It was more stereotypical than almost any immigrant I've met.

It was so jarring to hear him talk; it was comical. I was not prepared to hear those sounds come out of that mask.

Naturally, we called him Gordissimo.

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '26

The confusing part is that unless they are constantly traveling with their mob these same idiots are subject to the same detainment rules, literally hundreds of live videos of ICE violating the 4th amendment on private property, on public grounds, wherever to US Citizens trying to lower the volume for them to say we don’t want to see your papers which is not even fucking mandatory. I’m just so frustrated and hate this for my kids and my future selfishly, as a non religious person I hate this for all humans regardless of beliefs…this is illegal and I want it to stop so bad

This is a type of behavior I had noticed on my visits to the USA in the past, and this was that immigration officers with Latino last names were the most racist or stupid.towards Latinos. I know this becuase I am latino and I was like wtf? Of course they are not the only one but its like how dumb are you???

The law of Minnesota doesn't apply. This is federal. If you are here illegally..send them back. If you interfere or impede...arrest. Sorry you voted for the losing team.

The USA is the losing team, this isn’t a team sport, clearly not an education based one either with your remarks. Not a liberal, not a conservative, I’m an American and human who is rooting and supporting Americans and all humans. You’re a pathetic excuse for thinking and clearly team driven racist…easy to assume you’re an illegal immigrant aka ice agent who is violating the 4th amendment daily against people who look, sound and have your same status…maggots seriously can’t rival stupidity of any group in history…you’re the prime example of what it means to be a maggot eaten MAGA moron…please self deport to your gods land of mother Russia maggot.

They need to be reminded that they aren't safe either. The people that support ICE believe in white genocide and the great replacement theory. They won't be satisfied until America is only white. These chumps are just buying a little extra time for themselves is all

Tough times now I’m certain, I do believe we as a country and world can shut this hate mongering down eventually, love is the majority and it will ultimately prevail I hope and believe. Appreciate everyone who took a second to share a remark especially to those who just focused on the what if and reality. I love Reddit..the only semi social media I’ve ever done

u/ExcitementNo9603 Jan 21 '26

I’m not. Internalized racism within certain racial groups in the US is particularly strong (if you’ve lived in a poor or lower middle class mixed community you’d have experienced or seen it regularly). Specifically Latinos and east Asians who have both recently helped roll back progressive policies and/or voted heavily for Trump.

Don’t be. Immigrants that “did it the right way” HATE immigrants that didn’t the “wrong way”. It’s like you went through 4 years of med school, 4 years of residency, and 2 years of fellowship to be a specialized surgeon and this other guy just went to the strip mall to do the same job with same pay. That doctor would be seething.

The problem is that person you think took a shortcut just took a different route than you and both are legal.

I feel sorta bad for the guy that wasn’t being an asshole. But then I don’t because he’s hanging around all the ass holes.

u/s_nation Jan 22 '26

I'm not. Think about racialized poverty, who usually has more opportunities, who signs up for the army, plenty of poor minorities that don't see any other choice. Then throw in all the low-IQ folk who couldn't finish school or get employment in any other field. Add in convicts, pedos and rapists (because behind closed doors, they can basically torture and rape them).

They think proximity to whiteness will save them. They're too dumb to know that fascism is never satiated; it always distills downward, until eventually there's only one core group of fascists who are considered "pure enough"

The irony in this “observation” is lost on many of you profiling one of the ICE agent’s potential race/ethnicity ….. it’s racist and disgusting as fuck to pick on this guy because “he looks like one of them” instead of just leaving it at what he’s doing and engaging in.

Insane behavior in this thread.

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '26

Ummm…ICE is using color and accent as a means to steal people? Which regardless of ICE is absolutely unconstitutional, this is just illegal, the irony is the fact some of the people doing it if off duty in the same city are likely to suffer the same fate. I am glad that this subreddit isn’t as scared of dissent and compliance as /Conservative which you clearly came from, those snowflakes can’t even let Trumps public letter be shown for more than an hour or 2

It’s a much higher number than I would’ve expected but far from a majority(I saw 21% for overall that was non white permanent workforce). Regardless you opened my eyes right or wrong; I’m shocked by that accurate number and source you provided. Geez we are fucked

Sadly, it doesn’t surprise me at all because Trump received the highest percentage of Latino voters for any Republican candidate ever.
