Oh, and ICE isn't arresting and deporting violent criminals. They're arresting immigrants at their place of employment and at their asylum court hearings and deporting them without letting them see an immigration judge. I wasn't aware violent criminals have regular jobs and actually show up to their court hearings. We all support getting rid of violent criminals, but the fact is that's not what's happening no matter which way you try to spin it and you know it.
To reach the quotas Stephen Miller wants deported, you have to go after the hard working immigrants who have been here 25 years who work normal jobs. And the ones that are legally here via asylum claims and visas. And that's what's been happening. That's why the people are resisting.
And don't forget, only 1/3rd of the eligible population votes in presidential elections. Out of that amount only a small fraction above half voted for Trump. Do the math that's about 1/6th of the eligible voting population that voted for this wanna-be autocrat.
You live in Michigan and have no clue what has gone on along the border. You sit on Bluesky and listen to your echo chamber. Meanwhile even your party and party leaders have admitted they screwed up. That they lied to the American people over this and innocent Americans were murdered and assaulted because we gave criminals parole.
Also 64% of registered voters voted in 2024 it was the third highest turnout since 1980. Dont be stupid and lobbing talking points that not even the Democrats use without sources.

I don't even have a blue sky account. There you go with your assumptions.
Are you aware the number of opiate overdoses went down significantly last year according to the data that was just released? Only 48,000 people in this nation died last year due to fentanyl related overdoses. And you wanna know where it comes from? Mexico. Over 80% of the fentanyl that's seized by CBP is at the US/Mexico border. The President said the other day that each boat they blow up, illegally btw, is responsible for 25,000 fentanyl deaths in this country. The man doesn't even understand the data that his own fucking government puts out.
Read the article for proof of the data I just mentioned.
And btw, it's funny how you'll be the first one to show me a study that supports your narrative, but your side refuses to accept the thousands of scientific studies done that proved covid mandates worked and vaccines are safe and effective.
