Summary

ICE has manipulated Google search results by updating timestamps on old press releases, making past immigration raids appear recent.

This tactic, first discovered by an immigration lawyer, has led to widespread fear and confusion in immigrant communities, with reports of mass arrests proving misleading.

Experts confirm ICE’s website updates triggered Google’s algorithm to rank outdated raids higher in search results.

Critics argue this strategy serves Trump’s narrative of large-scale deportations, despite little actual enforcement activity. Local officials have even issued statements refuting false rumors of ICE operations.

      I’m pretty sure this is only to appear successful to their base until they have the numbers they’d like to boast about.

        Religious participation is declining.

        So are the populations of the older demographics that actually vote red.

        Besides violent death throws of the Federalists, it looks like humanity is on track to end this shit organically

        Still, fight them in every space at every step. Make them understand their ideology and rhetoric leads to the American people shooting them dead in self defense.

        I mean, if it riles up the base of the world to action against the fascists, I’d say this is a win

      He was too lazy to do is own coup last time, just got his friends in the Kremlin to astroturf social media and goad a bunch of republican couch potatoes into storming the capiol in 2020. But Americans are domesticated so it took one person getting shot to make them run scared.

    The US benefits from working undocumented migrants. Even they know that mass deportation would be catastrophic.

      This is why I always assumed that any attempts at deportation would be shambolic. Too many Republican business owners employ undocumented immigrants for them to tolerate actual mass deportations. That being said, I’m sure they’d be mollified with prison labor - which I think is coming.

      You assume catastrophe isn’t the goal for those idiots. Remember, the only reason Hitler and the Nazi party rose to power was due to economic collapse from sanctions after WW1. They used that as an opportunity to breed nationalizm and fear.

        Their goals to give everything to the billionaires not to get rid of the folks doing the work. They just need it to look like they’re getting rid of the folks who do all the work so the hateful idiots think someone else is getting hurt.
