The Trump administration literally is nothing but a personal vendetta (against the poor, Democrats, minorities, anyone who doesn't kiss Trump's ring and tell him he's King Special at the drop of a hat...)
His usefulness as a stooge is worth keeping him around. A soon as he's not, he will tossed under the bus and made a martyr by his cult. They will be told who the new cult leader is and they will suck it up like a sponge.
This cult has an incredibly powerful propaganda system at their command. While one would expect Trump's Cult of Personality to die with him, they will still follow the right-wing ideology and accept a new leader.
Attempts to deprogram these people is nigh impossible even if it affects them directly. Some might be able to get out, but is takes qualities that these people a severely lacking.
So the right play for the GOP is to squeeze every piece of grift using Trump as the face of the corruption and will roll as much blame as they can when he's cast aside.
The world's biggest clown show and I'm tired of the bullshit spewing from all directions.
It's going to be incredible to watch everyone posturing for control of the cult and fox news pushing everyone to get back in line behind whoever they declare the winner.
Is it? Under most administrations it would be. But we elected a child rapist cause he said he'd lock up brown people and lower groceries with his magical farts (he had no plan).
But the other candidate who had real policies to help people was a black woman so clearly unelectable.
Sadly the immigrant community has a history having the threat of deportation used as leverage against them. There was a story a few years ago of a sheriff who was abusing a Mexican woman and threatening to call ICE if she spoke up.
It's so telling that the government dismissed their own appeal on her release. Whether they care if she's actually deported or not, she has to now go through all this bullshit because her ex and their family are fascists.
Firstly, lets wait until she is actually released, ICE not complying with the court is pretty par for the course.
Second, it certainly works at terrorizing the woman and sending a strong message to her. Remember, just because a person terrorized by ICE gets let go doesn't mean they weren't victimized, they will carry trauma of this for a long time.
holy shit, i just read the article. I didnt know but i totally believe it when it comes to anyone working in this administration. corruption all the way through.
An accident during arrest isn’t all that complicated to set up. These people are fucking evil. They’re arresting the mother of their kid because they want to fuck the nanny, and not lose custody. That’s insanely evil. Next time they’ll just hit her with a car.
Bruna Ferreira, 33, a longtime Massachusetts resident, was previously engaged to Leavitt’s brother, Michael.
“We argued that she wasn’t a danger or a flight risk,” he said in a text message. “The government stipulated to our argument and never once argued that she was criminal illegal alien and waived appeal.”
So, what the fuck are we doing detaining these people, wasting time and resources? Are they just putting on a show for Republican voters?
Republicans get off on seeing minorities (anyone who isn't a straight white male, really) suffer, so that would make sense.
My guess is the entire point of the detentions by ICE is to just look busy and cause terror for current and prospective immigrants. Not to avoid committing crime, but to discourage them remaining in, or coming to, the USA.
Meanwhile, Trump has bolstered their funding and the recruitment incentives are to encourage people to join the Gestapo so he has a strong loyal, and equipped, police force to protect him or to enforce what he wants as he erodes more democracy in the US.
It's all to make it seem it's necessary to give them more resources and power. Just wait, at some point in the next 3 years, there will be some kind of Legislation or EO that will increase the powers of ICE to enforce non-immigration related laws. I wouldn't be surprised if they'll be the ones rounding up "undesirables" and "extremists" according to the list they are whipping up now of threats to the USA (who will likely just be people saying follow the law, don't commit crime, obey your oath, be upstanding Americans, Trump is a dictator).
Yes. ICE is basically his private force that can go rogue on any domestic protests, when time comes. Beating and handling immigrants is just a training and setting up the organization, figuring out the logistics, routines, etc.
They’re the modern Brown Shirts. Right now they think there are no consequences for their actions. But on a long enough timeline every last one of these racist proud boy fucks will be held accountable in a court of law.
Yeah, the cruelty is the point. Taking their kids away and losing them in the system was what they did in the first administration (technically a form of genocide), along with holding kids for weeks in deplorable conditions.
Stephen Miller said that policy and other cruel policies were meant as a "deterrent" to immigrants. First their kids. Now they themselves will be deported to a brutal foreign concentration camp and "lost" in the system. And they aren't done escalating. We also don't know what's going on in those camps we're sending them to. When it does come out what's going on, the current administration can play dumb and say "We didn't know they had ovens and gas chambers"
Man it reminds me of an early administrative strategy from like 80-90 years ago. I just can't remember who or where. Encouraged people to leave, then for those that didn't, the ultimate suffering. Hmmm...
But if we don’t resist then they just get their way without a fight. It’s like surrendering yourself for an unjust execution because you are afraid of getting hurt while resisting.
Congress has shown that they will not stop this madness. The Supreme Court has shown they will not stop this madness either. We aren’t even a full year into his presidency and he’s already had most of the remaining guardrails removed. We are running out of time to push back. Unless everything is resolved due to a massive and most importantly UNITED turn to the left during the midterms we are neck deep in shit. Hell even if congress is deep blue it may not matter. The Burger King and his council of savages are purging anyone who would resist and replacing them with people who think of war crimes and get aroused. Congress can make laws, but they’ve all but lost/given up any ability to enforce their laws and rulings.
Well the thing is, the slow burn strategy they’re using is working. At this rate, they’ll never need to invoke martial law.
Even if they announced the midterms were canceled tomorrow, would enough people actually protest to make it matter? Or would it be the same 10-30k in various blue cities around the country shaking fists, being arrested, tear gassed, and shot with rubber bullets? What will ever actually be enough to stoke the legitimate outrage of the general population?
But if we don’t resist then they just get their way without a fight. It’s like surrendering yourself for an unjust execution because you are afraid of getting hurt while resisting.
At this point it's pretty obvious that every single one of these "but they want you to fight back, that's giving them what they want!" comments are made by astro-turfing accounts.
"You can either choose to lop off your own head, or you can fight back and make the government do it to you. Also don't fight back, that's what the government wants you to do!"
"Give up now, so we don't have to fight you to make you give up!"
If we learned anything from Portland, the revolution will be silly, and the violence will be one sided. The people will be non violent and the feds will still assault them. Best we can do is dress up like silly little animals so they look even more ridiculous.
They’re just galvanizing their base for future violence and normalizing their evil. When they want to cancel elections they’ll just use a false flag operation to do so. This is so obviously transparent that the clear course of action is to act out now rather than later, but we haven’t yet had an inciting incident to spur the majority to action and at present they’re still living comfortably enough that the potential costs outweigh the benefits.
Yep it’s show for their stupid ass voters to think everyone arrested is a criminal, when if you look for 2 seconds or have a brain you can see not many criminals are being arrested. If they were you would hear all about it.
In general, yes, they are. But in this case specifically, it’s personal. They want full custody of the kid and don’t want to have to pay child support….and they’re evil.
It’s all a grift. They put them in facilities run by private corps and charge the taxpayer over $200/day pp. If you follow the $$, it’s probably linked to Trump cronies.
This. DJT's entire life has been about grifting. He knows nothing else. It's why he was the perfect puppet for THF. He will never, ever, ever push back against Miller et al.
Are they just putting on a show for Republican voters?
Mostly this, yes, but it's also to normalize a pseudo-military looking operation in the streets of cities and suburbs to normalize fear like they do in the Middle East and whatnot.
You should see the nightly tv viewing of non news watching conservatives. If my experience is anything, it is cop thrillers like FBI, NCIS, 911, Chicago Fire, Tracker, and then reality shows like the one about customs and border patrol finding and catching (harassing brown people) smugglers in the US and abroad.
Then you see their YouTube history where it is videos about how bad immigrant truckers are and a swath of videos of cops arresting people.
And that is the viewing of someone I know that doesn't watch any news programming like Fox or OANN or anything like that. They get all they need for that through Facebook, where it is also all very similar to their tv media intake and YouTube intake.
I am trying to just get an impression of their experience with media, and I have to walk away sometimes because it is all so dehumanizing. Not any one particular thing, but as an aggregate it builds up. And they are outwardly happy and generally polite. Always finds someone watching the same tv shows and watching the same type of YouTube material but from different sources that all take advantage of the algorithm to get into their recommendations.
We like to think it is just the people watching Fox News that are Trump supporters. Some don't even need it.
My own father has been a long subscriber of the NRA Magazine. And just seeing the front page on the back of the toilet after it arrived in the mail I didn't have to wonder why they think the way they do.
All to feed the propaganda machine, Republican voters are the easiest to manipulate. Just pumping fear into them like a disease and republicans are convincing them to vote for them like they are the medicine.
Yes it is a show. 1,000 arrests a day is the target. Get people too excited to notice them robbing the piggy bank. Mass deportation also happens to be Stephen Miller's personal fetish, but everyone in the administration has one and is focused on it at the expense of governing.
The Department of Homeland Security previously called Ferreira a “criminal illegal alien” and said she had been arrested for battery, an allegation her attorney denied.
I hope she goes right to a family court lawyer and has them file an ex parte motion for emergency, sole custody of the child she has with KKKaroline's brother pending an investigation that he (or someone on his behalf) misused the legal system to change the outcome of the child custody case.
After seeing all these videos of ICE abductions I’ve been wondering just how many people have been scooped up by ICE… that’s a lot of people. Not even the total. Immigration statuses are also very outdated, with grey areas, and I bet a lot of abductees with “criminal records” are just people who got caught up in the bureaucracy.
55k were snatched up during the shutdown alone. Month to month those numbers are going to add up to a whole lot. To the point that I doubt ICE can actually accommodate them sufficiently, not that they are trying really, but that’s a scary sign.
Why do you think they do some deportations using military cargo aircraft that can have their rear bay doors opened mid-flight? Why do you think we are shipping people to detention centers in other countries where oversight is minimal and native populations have complained about people "disappearing" in the past? The things that will come to light after this admin is over will show that they have been learning from the past in all the wrong ways.
To the point that I doubt ICE can actually accommodate them sufficiently
Do you know why the Nazi plans to exterminate the Jews was called "the final solution to the Jewish question"? They had tried other solutions before that. When they couldn't get enough places to accept the massive number of deportees, they had to find a solution that they could carry out at home.
Yes, I am aware of their earlier thoughts / efforts to rid Germany and the occupied territories of Jews. Which is partly my great concern with this MAGA regime. Nazis thought they could “encourage” undesirables to leave. Either through force or making life miserable. Heydrich considered dropping them off on Madagascar of all places, which is terribly inhospitable.
All of which failed or were deemed too impractical.
Now Trump thinks he can rid the U.S. of an even greater number of “undesirable” peoples. Not sure on the numbers, but it’s for sure millions more than the population of Jews, Gypsy’s, Romas, LGBTQ, POC etc. in 1940s Europe.
I’ll admit, if any country could in theory abduct, feed, and house that many people for even a short period of time, it would be the U.S. However that’s a lot of effort / money… which is exactly what the Nazis thought.
Leavitt's brother threatened to have her deported during the child custody fight, according to lawyers. What a racist family.
The attorney claimed his client was targeted, and alleged that Michael [Leavitt] previously threatened Ferreira with deportation following their 2015 split.
Since her detention, Michael and Karoline’s father, Bob Leavitt, has urged Ferreira to “self deport” and attempt to return legally—a “trap,” Pomerleau said, that under federal law would bar her from reentering the U.S. for ten years.
Francis M. Wilhoit: Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
Considering how much the brother would have benefitted from the deportation with full custody and no child support, there should be an investigation into how involved Leavitt was in events.
It wasn't someone merely with ties to the White House. The girlfriend of the brother (the mother of his child that they are having a custody dispute) that broke up with the brother and then he told his big sister and she directed ICE to pick her up. This is the reason why people hide because all it takes is pissing off the wrong person and then they're going to call ICE on you. It was because it was so obvious that it was a personal reason that ICE picked her up meaning they're definitely wasn't a probable cause warrant issued.
Yes. But any white dude who wants to get rid of his immigrated wife or ex wife could just call ICE. At this point in time, I don't think they ask much questions.
100% bet a lot of them are. That's why the Trump admin really are the stupidest admin we've had since all they had to do was keep their mouths shut for plausible deniability, but too many of them think it gives them street cred with maga to be as cruel as possible. However, that also gives the courts the thing they need to prove it was a conflict of interest.
She has a record (battery) and she's an illegal alien (illegal) so she should not be here right? Illegal is Illegal as they say, well unless you know someone.
I hope she goes straight to the nearest news camera and tells all her sister-in-law's dirtiest secrets
Her brother has a new chick, so they decided to call ICE, deport his ex and get full custody of their child. This is next level evil.
Transparently evil, right down to his statement. These are the worst people.
new wife was the nannnnny! he banged all the other teenage nannies too
Of course she was. Of course he did.
And of course he will to the next one. New wife expect that, your relationship will end how it started.
Is there a source?
Omg. Fuckin gross people
If you thought that was gross, look up how old Karoline's husband was the day she was born.
No way
I would expect nothing less, after all, isn't that why one gets teenage nannies?
Coming from a family so venal you marry twice or triple your age into money, as much unsurprising as it is disgusting.
At least if you watch the porn for the story...
It’s crazy they used ice for personal vendetta
It's really not. Daddy wanted to bang the new nanny again
The vendetta isn't crazy
The whole "weaponizing personal ties to the government" thing is the crazy part
"Never cheat on me or I'll have you thrown in jail 🥺" or whatever is a wild relationship dynamic
Well, it's just like mafia.
Not just thrown in jail. Deported so you'll never see your kids again.
yeah i was like this is normal for them. if you're an illegal and been having beef with a neighbor, i know they just planning your demise...
In before Melania deported to Slovenia
Calling ICE for personal vendettas has been a trope for literally decades.
The Trump administration literally is nothing but a personal vendetta (against the poor, Democrats, minorities, anyone who doesn't kiss Trump's ring and tell him he's King Special at the drop of a hat...)
It's amazing nobody has dared to stab him in the back.
Release the Epstein Files and ride the truth to a higher position.
His usefulness as a stooge is worth keeping him around. A soon as he's not, he will tossed under the bus and made a martyr by his cult. They will be told who the new cult leader is and they will suck it up like a sponge.

It's going to be incredible to watch everyone posturing for control of the cult and fox news pushing everyone to get back in line behind whoever they declare the winner.
as if anything could penetrate that backfat.
I think they're all too afraid they won't be able to control the snakes without the charmer. I think MTG was going for it and failed.
I think you're giving MTG too much credit.
She was praising him until the end and went out with a huge payday.
Yes, but also: they’re misusing every other possible government agency to do their bidding. So unfortunately very on brand.
Really? The McDonald's Hitler using ice as a personal army got you surprised?
Is it? Under most administrations it would be. But we elected a child rapist cause he said he'd lock up brown people and lower groceries with his magical farts (he had no plan).
But the other candidate who had real policies to help people was a black woman so clearly unelectable.
The crazy part is that your still surprised things like this are going on.
Sadly the immigrant community has a history having the threat of deportation used as leverage against them. There was a story a few years ago of a sheriff who was abusing a Mexican woman and threatening to call ICE if she spoke up.

That website is arse cancer of the worst kind, so many bots and purile scum sucking oxygen thieves in the comments.
holy shit, i just read the article. I didnt know but i totally believe it when it comes to anyone working in this administration. corruption all the way through.
Actually just standard Christian Republican evil.
Wait, where did you see this? I’m trying to find a source but the articles I’ve come across are all vague like the one posted here.
Edit- nevermind, found. This is so demented.
That’s MAGA, baby!
Is this for real or just shitposting? Like are there reports or related on this?
Is there a source for this? That definitely wasn't in this article.
Republican values...
Runs in the family.
She can start by making sure everyone know KKKarloline’s husband is 60 years old. She’s 28.
Trump supporters protect pedos, they couldn't give a single fuck about an old man marrying a young woman.
"Young woman"? She's 28. That bitch is old as fuck --MAGA
How old is their kid? Add 9 months and do the math.
About 18 months.
So she'd have been 25/6 at the time.
He really does like them old by MAGA standards
It's the same picture.
Which would likely guarantee her a one way ticket to CECOT
They couldn't keep her in this time. Another attempt wouldn't likely be any different
An accident during arrest isn’t all that complicated to set up. These people are fucking evil. They’re arresting the mother of their kid because they want to fuck the nanny, and not lose custody. That’s insanely evil. Next time they’ll just hit her with a car.
It wont matter when Republicans have 0 shame
Checks notes: she won’t.
So, what the fuck are we doing detaining these people, wasting time and resources? Are they just putting on a show for Republican voters?

I'd have left sooner if financially available.

Remember that they're reporting the number arrests made, not charges filed, convictions, or arrests made with previous criminal records.
Those arrest numbers also include peaceful protestors.
Maybe 95% of them aren't criminals.

Getting the arrest numbers up
They have a quota and they can’t fill it legally.
"100,000,000 million illegal aliens arrested" sounds a lot better than "1,000 illegal aliens deported"
Their current deportation rates aren't very good. No where near what they were saying they would.
We don't talk about Bruna
Cruelty is the point.
Yes it is a show. 1,000 arrests a day is the target. Get people too excited to notice them robbing the piggy bank. Mass deportation also happens to be Stephen Miller's personal fetish, but everyone in the administration has one and is focused on it at the expense of governing.
It’s always been this
At this rate, even white people who don’t look completely white will be at risk
She was off-white or brown, that is all they need.
Are they gonna keep arresting and releasing her to meet their quota?
Maybe they write off the releases as business expenses.
How else do private companies get rich off locking ppl up
This has got to be an awkward Christmas morning.

Do you know why the Nazi plans to exterminate the Jews was called "the final solution to the Jewish question"? They had tried other solutions before that. When they couldn't get enough places to accept the massive number of deportees, they had to find a solution that they could carry out at home.
Yes, I am aware of their earlier thoughts / efforts to rid Germany and the occupied territories of Jews. Which is partly my great concern with this MAGA regime. Nazis thought they could “encourage” undesirables to leave. Either through force or making life miserable. Heydrich considered dropping them off on Madagascar of all places, which is terribly inhospitable.
All of which failed or were deemed too impractical.
Now Trump thinks he can rid the U.S. of an even greater number of “undesirable” peoples. Not sure on the numbers, but it’s for sure millions more than the population of Jews, Gypsy’s, Romas, LGBTQ, POC etc. in 1940s Europe.
I’ll admit, if any country could in theory abduct, feed, and house that many people for even a short period of time, it would be the U.S. However that’s a lot of effort / money… which is exactly what the Nazis thought.
Leavitt's brother threatened to have her deported during the child custody fight, according to lawyers. What a racist family.

There are Two Types of Law:
- People with money, power & connections
- People with no money, no power or connections
So until those with money, power, and connections are held to the same laws as everyone else, things like this will keep happening.
Francis M. Wilhoit: Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
On her side of the family, not from her 60 year-old husband’s side.
Considering how much the brother would have benefitted from the deportation with full custody and no child support, there should be an investigation into how involved Leavitt was in events.
“ties” = the mother of her nephew.
Advantage to me, and fuck the rest of you all.
Saw this coming the minute it was announced.
That's a softball ass headline. It's her former sister-in-law. Not some random she worked at a job with once.
The mother of her nephew/godchild
Just gross.
Brother's former fiance. They never actually married. Small but important detail when discussing immigration and child custody.
Doesn't change the fact that it was likely targeted and intentional.
Maybe they can work out a trade where Karoline gets deported instead
We can only hope
Mercy for me and none for thee. Figures.
Crazy that she actually ran for office and just became trumps little puppet. Now, she'll never be anything other than that regardless of career.
They’re gonna listen to that judge?
Wish we could swap her out for karoline 🙄
Did we expect anything less?
“ties” = the mother of her nephew.
Friends and family discounts
Is Tom Homan appealing the decision?
Article says government waived appeal.
Karoline Leavitt is harboring dangerous aliens??
What about the hundreds of others with no ties to the White House?
It wasn't someone merely with ties to the White House. The girlfriend of the brother (the mother of his child that they are having a custody dispute) that broke up with the brother and then he told his big sister and she directed ICE to pick her up. This is the reason why people hide because all it takes is pissing off the wrong person and then they're going to call ICE on you. It was because it was so obvious that it was a personal reason that ICE picked her up meaning they're definitely wasn't a probable cause warrant issued.
Yes. But any white dude who wants to get rid of his immigrated wife or ex wife could just call ICE. At this point in time, I don't think they ask much questions.
100% bet a lot of them are. That's why the Trump admin really are the stupidest admin we've had since all they had to do was keep their mouths shut for plausible deniability, but too many of them think it gives them street cred with maga to be as cruel as possible. However, that also gives the courts the thing they need to prove it was a conflict of interest.
I really hope we get to see her wearing all orange at some point.
So they can stop deportation …
So the deportation force is fully operational, unless you know the Press Secretary? Got it.
Read the article. It was more sinister than that.
No, it's in especially full force if she corruptly uses her influence to get you detained because of a custody dispute with her brother.
Way worse than you're thinking.
And I will believe it when it is enforced
Ferreira considered Karoline a younger sister, and asked her to be the godmother over her actual sister. The betrayal is unreal.
I would not be even a little surprised if KKKaroline set ICE on this person to intimidate her
So, just so we're all on the same page:
If you're brown, you're a "criminal illegal alien"
Unless you're related to one of Trumps goons, then "sorry our bad", even if you overstayed your visa by 26 years, were arrested for battery, etc.
ICE tried to deport a Native American with her birth certificate and tribe documentation, but this person is released ASAP?
Native Americans should not be detained, obviously.
*ASAP*...The woman was in ICE custody since November 12, pulled over on her way to go visit her son at his dad's home.
Help me with the math: She is 28. Their child is 11. How old was she when this child was conceived? /s
17, which is one year older than the age of consent in New Hampshire. A 21 year-old impregnating a 17 year-old is not the worst part of this story.
Nice,, she got due process.. unbelievable!
So once released they are going to immediately arrest her again and deport her to Congo right? Right?
The hypocrisy is infuriating.
Are we surprised?
No, I know we aren't.
Are we going to do anything about it?
Also looks like a no so far.
Tick tock goes the Doomsday Clock.
PTSD about to hit level real fast. Cross still burning at level 10.
She has a record (battery) and she's an illegal alien (illegal) so she should not be here right? Illegal is Illegal as they say, well unless you know someone.
how conveeeeeeeeenient
The US is a failed state.
