Refugees from Cuban communism: slated for deportation, if they don't die in custody first

In a notification sent to Congress over the weekend, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement revealed that a 75-year-old Cuban national named Isidro Perez died while in ICE custody on June 26. The death, which appears to have been caused by a heart attack, is “still under investigation,” according to the notification, which was sent our way by a congressional aide.



Obviously, the man’s age immediately makes it look odd that he was in ICE detention in the first place. But here’s something else that’s striking about this case: According to the ICE note, the man was first paroled into the United States in 1966.


Yes, you read that right. The man has been here for almost 60 years—and he appears to have been around 16 years old when he first arrived from Fidel Castro’s Cuba.

America is exposed to abuses by Trump's unchecked deportation goons right now

Officers described how their colleagues extorted people and engaged in acts of sexual exploitation. “[The at ude of officers is] ‘if you don’t do what I say, I’ll apply the state of emergency to you,’” one said. “The state of emergency became a tool of coercion.”


“Gang violence has clearly decreased in El Salvador,” Goebertus said. “But Salvadorans are not safe: they are exposed to abuses by the country’s unchecked security forces. Experience suggests the abusive behavior will only worsen and spread if police are not held strictly accountable.”

DOJ announces plans to prioritize cases to revoke citizenship

The Justice Department is aggressively prioritizing efforts to strip some Americans of their U.S. citizenship.

Department leadership is directing its attorneys to prioritize denaturalization in cases involving naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes — and giving district attorneys wider discretion on when to pursue this tactic, according to a June 11 memo published online. The move is aimed at U.S. citizens who were not born in the country; according to data from 2023, close to 25 million immigrants were naturalized citizens.

...

But immigration law experts expressed serious concerns about the effort's cons utionality, and how this could impact families of naturalized citizens.

The DOJ memo says that the federal government will pursue denaturalization cases via civil litigation — an especially concerning move, said Cassandra Robertson, a law professor at Case Western Reserve University.

In civil proceedings, any individual subject to denaturalization is not en led to an attorney, Robertson said; there is also a lower burden of proof for the government to reach, and it is far easier and faster to reach a conclusion in these cases.

Robertson says that stripping Americans of citizenship through civil litigation violates due process and infringes on the rights guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.

Greg Abbott vetoes oversight to keep the public in the dark about abusive detention

Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed a broadly-supported #txlege bill from two Texas GOP lawmakers that sought to increase local oversight of unaccompanied migrant child detention centers. Advocates said the legislation was necessary amid reports of abuse and neglect.

Native-born citizens will be denaturalized too, only a matter of time

Yup it's easy to see the slope getting really slippery. There will be levels of 2nd class citizenship set up.

If "anchor babies" are stripped of their natural rights then you can keep the family together in the deportation wagon instead of separating them. Those bleeding heart conservatives are thoughtful like that.

the irony is that a federal judge is ordering Abrego to be kept in jail to keep him safe from the federal government

Kilmar Abrego Garcia will stay in jail for now over concerns from his lawyers that he could be deported if he’s released to await his trial on human smuggling charges, a federal judge in Tennessee ruled Monday.


Abrego Garcia’s attorneys had asked the judge to delay his release because of what they described as “contradictory statements” by President Donald Trump’s administration over what would happen to the Salvadoran national. The lawyers wrote in a brief to the court Friday that “we cannot put any faith in any representation made on this issue” by the Justice Department, adding that the “irony of this request is not lost on anyone.”

I asked a Cuban Democrat in Florida, former Congressman Joe Garcia, how Cubans are taking this news. He said it's making the rounds, but in a muted way.

"Remember this is Vichy France," he told me, speaking of Cuban Florida. "This is occupied territory."

big consequences for US farms and food supply

“In the fields, I would say 70% of the workers are gone,” she said in an interview. “If 70% of your workforce doesn’t show up, 70% of your crop doesn’t get picked and can go bad in one day. Most Americans don’t want to do this work. Most farmers here are barely breaking even. I fear this has created a tipping point where many will go bust.”



In the vast agricultural lands north of Los Angeles, stretching from Ventura County into the state’s central valley, two farmers, two field supervisors and four immigrant farmworkers told Reuters this month that the ICE raids have led a majority of workers to stop showing up.


That means crops are not being picked and fruit and vegetables are rotting at peak harvest time, they said.


One Mexican farm supervisor, who asked not to be named, was overseeing a field being prepared for planting strawberries last week. Usually he would have 300 workers, he said. On this day he had just 80. Another supervisor at a different farm said he usually has 80 workers in a field, but today just 17.

Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a Republican and former director of the Congressional Budget Office, said an estimated 80% of farmworkers in the U.S. were foreign-born, with nearly half of them in the country illegally. Losing them will cause price hikes for consumers, he said.

“This is bad for supply chains, bad for the agricultural industry,” Holtz-Eakin said.

Over a third of U.S. vegetables and over three-quarters of the country’s fruits and nuts are grown in California, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture. The state’s farms and ranches generated nearly $60 billion in agricultural sales in 2023.

being an undo ented immigrant is an administrative violation -- akin to a parking ticket or better, an administrative violation, like building without a permit.

Why does ICE need 20x more money?

To deport you and me, native citizens

Because he doesn't like us for some reason

"

We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job

Hmm, let’s see… mass detention of civilians without trial or traditional legal protections on the basis of iden y (race, religion, ethnicity, political affiliation) rather than any criminal act, often for an indefinite period and done principally to expand political power. Check.
