    My wife’s stepdad was born in Germany. His parents immigrated to the states when he was a baby (illegally). He’s had to work cash under the table practically his whole life. Under Biden he managed to obtain citizenship through a dreamer program. In his first presidential election that he could vote in, he went out and voted for Trump. One reason being there’s too many immigrants taking all the jobs. I don’t want to wish ill will on him, but were he to get caught up in this, I wouldn’t feel too bad for him.

    Millions. The fascist traitors want to deport 100 million people, which necessarily includes millions of citizens.

    The hundreds mentioned in this article are just the start.

      Kill, not deport.

      This is how the Holocaust started. The promise to deport which, when that became impractical for reasons the fascists caused themselves, moved onto genocide.

          I imagine the eventual outcome will be similar to that of assets owned by Jews who were killed in the Holocaust

          Edit: I should note exceptionally few looted items will make there way to anyone who isn’t in the top 1%.

          Even then, they’ll only take what’s valuable to them, then send the rest either to waste dumps, or to their dipshit working class supporters as bread crumbs.

          We have that latter already happening today in the form of police auctions

    WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. ‌Justice ​Department ​is targeting ⁠at ​least 300 ​foreign-born Americans ​and ​could revoke their ‌citizenship, ⁠NBC News ​reported ​on ⁠Friday.

    This is the entirety of the article? That’s it?

      NYT archive:

      https://archive.li/9ccj7

      Under federal law, the government may ask a court to strip the citizenship of people who obtained it fraudulently — for instance, by entering into a sham marriage or by withholding information about their past that would have made them ineligible.

      Ok. That seems sensible.

      Some who commit crimes may also be denaturalized.

      No. That’s bullshit. It would be very easy to come up with bullshit charges for anyone you don’t want around. No naturalized citizen would be able to protest.

      i’ve been seeing a lot of that sort of thing, and thinking wtf where’s the article–it’s one fucking sentence.

      AI and the defenestration of standards. i guess that’s what’s happening to literally everything

        It would be nice for the OPs of these posts to actually read the article before linking it to the rest of us.

    Well, I guess I’m on the chopping block now. Guess it depends on where they’re going to send me, because I’m doubting they’d be so nice as to ship me back to my country of origin.

    Melanoma and her anchor baby first. Those are the types of “undesirables” we need to get rid of.
