counterpoint: forced migration along ethnic and racial lines is very unpopular in the USA
declaring people illegal with a stroke of a pen has been normal under Trump 2.0, calling people following the rules (i.e., trying to gain admission to the US through the State Dept and US immigration agencies) as invaders -- is a novelty that recalls the 1920s immigration hysteria.
very racist, very xenophobic
it's like if we put whottt in charge of US immigration policy

Bulgarian man dies in ICE detention at Northern Michigan facility
BALDWIN, MI - A man died in detention this week at the North Lake Processing Center, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Northern Michigan, according to congressional sources.
The death on Monday, Dec. 15, first reported by Metro Times Detroit, remains under investigation.
ICE has not publicly reported the death, but its website says it posts new releases about detainee deaths within two business days. The agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The man was identified as Nenko Gantchev, 56, a Bulgarian who was arrested in Chicago. It’s unclear how long Gantchev was in ICE detention, but a court filing shows he was being held as of Oct. 22.
...
This is the 30th death in ICE custody this year, according to the lawmakers, making it the deadliest year since 2005. Not all of those deaths are listed on ICE’s detainee death reporting website. By comparison, 11 people died in immigration detention last year.
It’s the first immigrant death at North Lake, the largest ICE detention facility in Michigan. North Lake opened in June with 1,800 beds under President Donald Trump’s escalated immigration enforcement and mass deportation goal.
...
That’s partly because the federal government issued a new policy in July that denied bond to more immigrants, keeping them detained indefinitely while they wait for their court hearings. But a federal judge in California ruled the no-bond policy illegal in late November.
Gantchev died 10 days after Tlaib conducted an oversight visit of North Lake on Dec. 5. Tlaib’s office received reports about the conditions there, a news release said, including cold temperatures, inadequate food, unsanitary facilities and difficulty getting medical care.
“During this visit, we learned there have been multiple suicide attempts at the facility, including one in the last couple weeks, and heard that more medical staff are needed,” she said in a statement. “No human being should be trapped in cages, forced to experience dehumanizing conditions or separated from their family.”

"....In the span of less than 72 hours, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Victor Mojica went from being widely vilified and placed on administrative leave — to being returned right back to his old job.
On a Friday in September, Mojica was caught on several cameras roughly pushing a woman into the hallway and then to the ground, as the woman screamed.
The incident at an immigration court in New York rapidly circulated online and prompted the Homeland Security Department to place Mojica on administrative leave – a rare instance of such leave being publicly announced.
By the following Monday, Mojica was back on the job, without any further explanation from the agency.....
.....NPR has now learned that he returned to work before the Homeland Security Department's internal watchdog had concluded a review into his behavior. The DHS Office of Inspector General ultimately decided — nearly two months later — that the incident did not merit a criminal probe....

An Afrikaner who came to the U.S. after President Donald Trump claimed the country would be a safe haven for people like him has been held in federal detention for months since his arrival.
Benjamin Schoonwinkel came to the U.S. in September, believing he would be protected after Trump’s many statements to that effect. But on arriving at an Atlanta airport, he was detained and handcuffed by the U.S. border agents whom Schoonwinkel told he was seeking asylum.
The South African man was transferred to a federal detention facility within two days and has remained there ever since. After leaving behind a life of relative comfort on the word of Trump, he now sleeps on a metal bunk bed.

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers in Yakima, Washington, spent Christmas Eve arresting a man in a Walmart parking lot—even taking his already purchased groceries for themselves.
Four ICE officers in masks and tactical gear can be seen in a video surrounding a man with a car full of food while he loads it into his car. A woman watching the arrest asked ICE if she could take down the phone number of the man’s wife to let her know her husband had been detained. The ICE agents refused.“No, guess he should’ve complied,” an agent said.
The agents then start to divvy up the man’s groceries, as the bystander tells them they had previously detained and deported her husband.https://newrepublic.com/post/204750/ice-agents-detain-man-christmas-eve-steal-groceries
https://www.fox19.com/2025/12/22/ice...alleged-abuse/The suspended U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) supervisor accused of strangling a woman and lying about it to a federal agent will stay behind bars in solitary confinement following a lengthy detention hearing Monday in Cincinnati federal court.
Samuel Saxon, 47, of Corryville, pleaded not guilty to one count of making false statements to a federal officer who is investigating felonious assault, domestic violence and strangulation charges against Saxon from a Dec. 5 incident.
Exhibits of alleged domestic violence, threatening language, mental health concerns and substance abuse allegations were all presented during the hearing.
Samuel Saxon is on a federal hold without bond at the Butler County Jail.(Butler County Sheriff's Office)Assistant U.S. Attorney Julie Garcia showed video clips and read police and medical reports aloud from previous incidents involving Saxon and the victim in court.
According to Garcia, the victim, who is not a U.S. citizen, was 18 years old when she met Saxon, who was 40 at the time. The pair have been together for nearly eight years, and she has been financially dependent on him.
racial profiling is hurting businesses
https://www.rgvbusinessjournal.com/n...gions-economy/More than 200 people gathered inside the Brookhaven Event Center in Pharr for a South Texas Builders Association meeting on Monday, aimed at connecting the construction industry with elected officials to share their concerns about immigration enforcement raids that have detained workers on the job.
“We need to defend our industry. What’s going on now is affecting every major part of our industry, from lumber companies to lenders,” said Ronnie Cavazos, president of The Structure Team, a home builder based in McAllen. “Business is down significantly. If we continue on this trajectory, we will see a lot of businesses fail.”
Cavazos said the issue is especially close to home in South Texas because many residents are naturalized U.S. citizens or have mixed immigration status families. Some workers have been pulled off job sites only to be released later because they did have legal work visas.
Subtext: DOJ is trying to legitimize racial animus on the part of the government, we know it currently favors white South Africans
Noem's termination of Temporary Protected Status was blocked to consider official animus against the immigrants
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...tps-end-halted“With the renewed peace in South Sudan, their demonstrated commitment to ensuring the safe reintegration of returning nationals, and improved diplomatic relations, now is the right time to conclude what was always intended to be a temporary designation,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement ahead of the court ruling.
The lawsuit argues the agency’s action violated the statute governing the TPS program, ignored the dire humanitarian conditions that remain in South Sudan and was motivated by discrimination against migrants who are not white in violation of the US cons ution’s fifth amendment.
felony assault charges "against TikToker" dismissed after camera footage surfaces
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-12-28/federal-judge-dismisses-indictment-against-tiktokerAfter the Oct. 21 shooting, prosecutors charged Parias, who authorities say is living in the country illegally, with assault on a federal officer. On Saturday, U.S. District Judge Fernando M. Olguin dismissed the case against Parias, finding that he had been denied access to counsel while in immigration detention.
In his order, the judge also cited the government’s failure to comply with discovery deadlines — including the timely release of the body-worn camera footage that captured the shooting. The judge dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning prosecutors cannot refile the same charges.
A spokesperson for the U.S. attorney’s office in L.A. did not respond to a request for comment. The Department of Homeland Security replied with a statement previously sent in October, accusing Parias of attempting to evade arrest and reiterating that officers “fired defensive shots.”

Emil Bove tipped off Trump to the $50,000 in a Cava to-go bag
a bad penny always turns up
https://www.ms.now/news/border-czar-...-bribery-probeIn early January, several days before Donald Trump’s inauguration, a Justice Department lawyer passed an envelope across a wide desk to a top Trump transition official. Enclosed was a bombs , typed up in a one-page summary, according to two people briefed on the meeting.
As he read the contents of the envelope, the official, Emil Bove, closed his eyes and grimaced, according to the people, who requested anonymity to discuss a sensitive case. It revealed that Tom Homan — at that time, a frequent companion of Trump’s on the campaign trail who had publicly boasted he would be joining Trump’s administration to lead his immigrant deportation strategy — was the subject of an ongoing bribery investigation. Undercover FBI agents posing as private contractors had recorded him accepting $50,000 in cash in exchange for what they believed was Homan’s vow to help get border enforcement contracts in the new Trump administration.
A small group of career lawyers at the Justice Department felt an urgency to share this sensitive information with the president-elect’s team as soon as possible, hoping to head off potential embarrassment and a security clearance problem before Trump picked his future Cabinet and top appointees.
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered in the corruption probe, which they and FBI agents believed had shown Homan unsuitable for a trusted senior role in government service, according to the sources. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted a security clearance, or whom Bove alerted after being briefed on the Homan probe.
