    Well just because it can be undone does not stop the fact that entire communities are living in absolute terror until then.

    My wife is Puerto Rican and obviously a us citizen. But now we’ve had to have the conversation of apps she can download in case she gets illegally picked up by ice and disappeared for days until they let anyone know where she is. If she needs to carry her papers. In fucking America. Regardless of whether they’re EOs or not, they have been able to cause real damage and trauma for a lot of people.

    Mexican restaurants in our neighborhoods are going out of business, not because they’re illegal but because people don’t want to go to neighborhoods that are being constantly harasses by ice.

    I fully understand, every single thing the trump administration has a dawn has been absolutely horrible. 

    But they aren't doing anything that has longevity. For instance those gold card Visa members that are paying a million dollars to come into the country, They will be the first part of people sent back because they should get at the back of the line. Money should not be your entry.

    I’m not disagreeing. Im just saying he is doing stuff. Things that should be illegal. But for some reason the courts will not stop him. I get it’s all reversible. But 4 years is a long time to wait if you’re a target of this administration. As an American I feel like I should legally be allowed to live in my city without an unidentified armed occupying force patrolling us. This is some 3rd world dictator shut.

    Republicans in Tennessee did this a couple years back to their 2 state representatives who were black. In the resulting special elections that followed, both reps were reelected with overwhelming support from their constituencies.

    The whole stunt was a massive waste of taxpayer money by Republicans in attempt to unconstitutionally disenfranchise voters who dared to commit wrongthink

    Edit to add: This is a known fake-news Twitter account that links ZERO sources for this statement. I can’t imagine spending the day after Christmas being so fucking racist and angry at the world to need to post an unverified fake-news tweet with zero sources.

    Democrats will not go with it, but it is disturbing she advances a “Somalia First” agenda. She is a member of the United States, her agenda should be America first, then Somalia.

    I don't remember exactly what she said but it's literally that Somalia is more important to her than the US.

    What has been done or said to support this? I need facts and figures, tired of this person is doing something but no facts or figures. People say things but it is always talk, over it.

    Are you talking about the speech she gave in Somali, which was intentionally mistranslated to spread misinformation?

    Appreciate the post, still means nothing as nothing was said, which I assume you are saying. Musk/trump have said worse with literally no repercussions

    I'm simply disputing the claim that Omar has said Somalia is more important to her than the US, which does not seem to have any basis in fact.

    Sorry, I think I misunderstood. Think we are Saying same thing. My old family has never used the word Somalia is decades. In “media” now, act like there is a Somalia problem. When there is a racist problem.

    Yes, I believe we agree with each other. I was responding to the person who responded to you above.

    Somalia should not be anywhere on an elected leaders agenda. Same goes for Israel.

    If you “flee” a country you should be against it. Her only agenda should be the United States. But that’s not a singular issue, every politician should be America first and only.
