âLadies and gentlemen, we have found the smoking propaganda.â
White House says pro-Hamas propaganda handed out at rallies organized by detained Palestinian activist
And after Trump just used one as a prop to show how much he cares about children with cancer.
What I donât get is if Democrats think anyone in the world should be able to come to America to live and work without having to worry about legalities why they donât just repeal immigration laws rather than ignore them. I mean if the first thing you teach newly minted Americans is that itâs okay to flout laws you donât like theyâre likely to get the idea that the whole legal system is DIY and there goes the neighborhood.
I donât know what is worse, that they are deliberately racially profiling people from Muslim countries, or are just incompetents who donât know what the hell theyâre doing.
Trump seeks new role model in John Adams.
âToday was a horrific day in the history of the nation, when the President publicized that he was seeking to invoke extraordinary wartime powers in the absence of a war or invasion and claiming virtually unlimited authority to remove people from the country,â Skye Perryman, the president of Democracy Forward,
Hmm, how about the virtually unlimited authority to allow millions INTO the country illegally, when clearly it was easy to stop the influx?
I think weâre in the breaking-eggs stage of the immigration reform omelet.
So many strange cases recently where they just throw people in prison in inhumane conditions.
The reason for due process in case of gang accusations. A good read.
Trump sent these Venezuelans to El Salvador mega prison. Their families deny gang ties.

Deportation is one thing. Imprisonment at taxpayer cost is a completely different matter.
Iâve never heard of providence journal but I probably wouldnât read it again. They failed to mention she went to a hezbollah leaderâs funeral. It was not just a simple visit home like theyâre painting.
H1B visa holders are subject to terrorism screening when reentering the US. It sounds like they detained her when questioning her where she said she went to his funeral and only support him from a religious standpoint.
You have to be a major dumbass to attend a funeral of a terrorist leader that the country giving you a visa designate as a terrorist organization.
Youre 100% getting detained by boarder control if they found you went out of the country to attend a terrorists funeral and said you supported him from a religious standpoint. Hezbollah is an Islamic terrorist group. They found a bunch of content from the Hezbollah leader on her phone too while in detention.
Smart enough to be a doctor but somehow still incredibly stupid. One of those 3 letter agencies definitely flagged her when doing surveillance on the funeral. It wasnât just some high level guy, Hassan Nasrallah held the highest position in Hezbollah.
Scary
The real issue here isnât that Jasmine was detained, (she screwed up her visa, and thatâs on herâŚ) Any country would do the same, including Taiwan.
However, why was she stuck in an ICE facility for two weeks?
She had a valid Canadian passport, wasnât seeking asylum, and wasnât facing any criminal charges. She should have been put on the next flight home, dealt with her status from outside the U.S., and moved on.
There seems to be some serious bureaucratic inefficiencies at play there.
The article clearly describes the reason. Its a huge business to keep these people detained.
Yeh saw that, which is absolutely terrible. They need to streamline the deportation process and get rid of this government waste.
The reality became clear: Ice detention isnât just a bureaucratic nightmare. Itâs a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit.
Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. Itâs a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.
Also saw this⌠I donât know if she was really never given this option or what.
But still⌠to me it doesnât explain the 2 weeks of being put in a detention center⌠would be much cheaper to just send her off on an immediate flight home.
My Ice agent, who had never spoken to me, told my lawyer I could have left sooner if I had signed a withdrawal form, and that they hadnât known I would pay for my own flight home.
From the moment I arrived, I begged every officer I saw to let me pay for my own ticket home. Not a single one of them ever spoke to me about my case.
To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me. Yet, I was still detained for nearly two weeks.
No it really doesnât. Just a huge waste of money, something mr Musk should look into instead of firing national park employeesâŚ
Besides that though I do believe the immigration was correct in their call to detain her based on the vague story and reason to go through TJ.
CoreCivic share price up over 50%.
EDIT: on November 5th.
Hmm I recommended prisons a while back.
