          Zeneyda Barrera, 18, originally from Nicaragua, was arrested by Lynn police after a neighbor complained about a noise disturbance around 4:30 a.m. on Monday.

          I’m sure you’re smart enough to guess who called ICE.

            News articles probably shouldn’t leave things to assumption. Yes the police bastards probably did call ICE but that’s not reported anywhere.

              They probably didn’t mention it in their press conference. It could have been the neighbour… but I doubt it.

    18 year old girl, legal citizen, pushes her 12 year old brother. No injuries.

    ICE takes her from Lynn, MA to Cumberland county, ME, and she’s under threat of deportation?

    Deportation to where??

    This isn’t America. This is beyond alarming.

      … legal citizen, …

      Legal status. Which I am sure they’re talking about revoking because she’s been “charged with a crime.”

      That is the plan. Even for people who are in the US legally, just charge them with a crime, and that legal status can be pulled and they can be deported. Maybe even to Gitmo in the near future.

      ICE is Gestapo.

        Key fact:

        “It’s unusual for (ICE) to pick up an individual with legal status and not convicted of a crime. That usually doesn’t happen.”

        Emphasis mine.

        Edit: This is intended to reinforce your point for those who don’t read the article.

          Could be a lot of things. Could be a tourist visa, student visa, H1B, green card, probably a mess of other things I’m not aware of. Some kind of “You’re not a citizen, but it’s legal for you to be in the United States” paperwork.

          I’d expect that the 18 year old is probably attached to her parents’ status.

    More Arab and Latino Americans voted for Donald Trump than have ever voted for any Republican candidate before in US history. The Republican youth vote was higher in this past election than it ever has been before, the Democratic youth vote was lower in this pas election than it ever has been before. The Far Left told us they weren’t going to vote for “Genocide Joe”, and Democrat youth didn’t show up to vote.

      There’s heavy propaganda and misinformation in the Hispanic community about illegal immigrants. They hate people from South America and they believe that asylum seekers are getting thousands of dollars a week in food and housing assistance as well as direct payments. My Mexican coworker was telling me he saw a guy bragging about it on YouTube around the time of the election. There was recently a viral post claiming you could get $750 if you turned in an illegal, which isn’t true.

      I’ve had this discussion plenty of times here on lemmy. They didn’t want genocide Joe, so they got turbo genocide Donnie. They somehow didn’t realize that “no genocide” wasn’t on the menu, even not voting was making a choice.

      Well, consequences haven’t waited long.

      By the way, some Russians (if not most of them) are also voted for Trump. They escaped fascist dictatorship only to make a fascist dictatorship “at home” (in the US).

      I think, people from (toxic) collectivistic cultures are mostly uneducated and they don’t realise what trauma/abuse did to them when they lived in their authoritarian (or democratic but poor and corrupt af) home country. Add do this a propaganda that is aimed, among other things, at Russians themselves abroad, that people among their acquaintances/social networks often spread it as word of mouth. They are easily deceived. And as the result, they continue to vote for such bastards who are capable of primitively manipulating people, even in democratic elections. Although, it cannot be ruled out that they choose those people in whom they see themselves, as in the case of Putin and some Russians (like ‘identitiy politics’ or something like that).

      I don’t justify them, but I would not blame voters (although people should be held personally responsible for their actions and learn to think for themselves). In working democracy with respected rule of law though, there would be a way to remove those like Trump from office almost immediately or check the votes for possible manipulation. Look, how they did it in Romania recently:

      1. “Romanian presidential elections cancelled by constitutional court” - https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/romanian-presidential-elections-canceled-by-constitutional-court/
      2. “EU investigates TikTok over alleged Russian meddling in Romanian vote” - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2v13nz202o

      If Trump became president and the country immediately collapsed, then the question arises whether checks and balances were fair before.

          I dunno what you’re upset about. You’re getting the genocide and immigration crackdowns you voted for even though your preferred candidate didn’t win.

          You’re even copying Trump’s rhetoric here in blaming the left, who has almost zero representation in government, for all the problems you see in the government.

            Calling them “the left” is their imagination. They aren’t the left, they are by all measures a flavor of auth-right. They require a strict obedience with dogma that cannot be questioned.

        From the article it sounds like just a push, which probably shouldn’t warrant any law enforcement, but if you are a guest in a country and shove someone, don’t be surprised when the host country wants you to go home.
