You already posted that doc (or if not one of your comrades did.)

I don't know if you are old enough to be politically active in 2011, in 2011-2013 there were massive protests by the progressive wing of the Democrat Party. Obama was chanted as "Deporter in Chief.". And, unlike Republicans, this was not viewed as a positive or said as a statement of support. Massive bashing of Obama over this (and rightfully so.)

That being said it's not 2011, and Obama is several administrations removed now. So I really don't see the relevance. If Obama runs for President again, let me know and I will join the protests against his immigration policy... However, even his twisted policy is not as bad as Trump's. The problem with Trump's policy, is he is declaring war on American streets, not hiding crimes inside secure camps, so people are getting tired of fascist forces marching through businesses checking papers.

MAGA man assaults with a knife unarmed teenagers peacefully protesting with Mexican flag.

(This is violence by the way, chanting in front of a church is not violence, hopefully that helps some out.)

Appeals court endorses Trump policy of holding many ICE detainees without bond hearings

Quote:
A federal appeals court on Friday endorsed the Trump administration's policy of holding broad groups of immigration detainees without access to bond hearings, a major legal victory for President Trump and his deportation crackdown.

In a 2-1 decision, a panel of federal judges at the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals said the Trump administration had properly reinterpreted an immigration law last year to disqualify many unauthorized immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement from being able to ask an immigration judge to be released on bond.

Previously, immigrants who had lived in the U.S. unlawfully for years were generally eligible for bond hearings, and the opportunity to persuade an immigration judge that they were not flight risks and should be allowed to fight their deportation outside of a detention center. Mandatory detention had been historically limited to recent border crossers and those convicted of certain crimes.


woo hoo Winning!!!

Schedule F’ is NUKE against Deep State and Trump’s finger is on the button…

Quote:
The Office of Personnel Management is set to finalize regulations implementing President Trump’s plan to strip tens of thousands of federal employees of their civil service protections.

First developed during Trump’s first term and revived last year, Schedule F—now renamed Schedule Policy/Career—is a new job classification within the government’s excepted service for “policy-related” positions. Employees in positions targeted for conversion would become effectively at-will employees.

A final rule formally implementing the policy is set for publication in the Federal Register Friday. Its provisions, first reported by Government Executive last November, include stripping Schedule Policy/Career employees of the removal protections in Title 5 of the U.S. Code and of their right to appeal adverse personnel actions. Whistleblower complaints from converted employees would no longer go to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, instead being referred internally to the employing agency’s general counsel for review.

Administration officials estimated that as many as 50,000 federal employees could be targeted by the new policy after it takes effect March 8. Agencies have filed initial submissions of what jobs should be converted to Schedule Policy/Career, which will culminate in Trump’s issuance of a new executive order facilitating those conversions.

Drain the swamp!!!!!

They made ICE look bad, so ICE will spend millions of dollars and burn through half a dozen lawyers, ignoring a dozen court orders, all for the crime of hurting DHS and Noem's feelings.
