Sickening ICE Actions
CBP Chief Bovino, federal agents seen roaming Chicago's Southwest Side...
ROAMING???
What about the targeted arrests?
The heavily armed Border Patrol agents stopped and got out of their vehicles holding their weapons closely at numerous spots in various neighborhoods.
"People were just going on their normal day, and here they come and harass and terrorize our community," Little Village Community Council President Baltazar Enriquez said..
He was seen making numerous stops in the middle of intersections with agents to make a show of force and get back into their vehicles and continue.
Random stops?

ICE detained this non verbal special needs man in Little Village.Chicago and they were extremely violent with him when he’s unable to speak to them or let them know he’s an American citizen...
https://x.com/Suzierizzo1/status/1986994797664477185Dis Trump personally lead that one? (remembering his mocking of a disabled reporter)
Everyone of the ice or border patrol goons that piled onto a disabled citizen should be fired and prosecuted... It has become glaringly obvious that there are no targeted arrests happening in these cities. What they have are roaming bands of gestapo harassing and arresting anyone in their path. Absolutely appalling, that Trump's personal army are aimlessly marching through neighborhoods for the sole purpose of intimidation.
You tell us... If your intention is to challenge the post.. then challenge it.
I did. By asking for the whole story instead of a short blurb, lying by omission.
And in return I got a demand that I provide the missing information. No thank you.I've presented my argument, go ahead and blow holes in it. Go ahead and challenge it....
I did. And you declined to provide any information your ugly insinuations are true.
I didn't notice any counter provided... How is my post "ugly"
How can one blow holes in something that can't even be found because it is a 10-second video that shows nothing but someone fighting with ICE agents? No names, nothing of anything leading up to the moment that ICE is seen trying to subdue someone resisting arrest. I mean, this is ridiculous.
"lying by omission."
Are you implying that I'm lying?
This statement looks like you're calling me a liar?
Are you calling me a liar?
First it was implied that I was born yesterday and now that I'm a liar?
Does moderation see any of this? Do I report this? I'm sure that I am soon to be banned for even bringing this up....
Good point — we’re only seeing a short 10-second clip. From what I can tell in these clips, the individuals are resisting arrest, struggling while being handcuffed, or refusing to exit their vehicles. It seems that ICE officers would not need to use force if the person complied peacefully. We also know very little about what was said or done before the officers felt it necessary to act. What we do know is that those being detained are provided due process and are released if it’s determined they should not be held.
I recall one a couple of days ago that Willow posted. Seems some woman attacked ICE, then ran. Into a day care, from where they removed her.
Somehow she was apparently hired in those few seconds as a "teacher", making it SO much worse when she was "dragged" (read: forced) out in front of "her" children.Completely false. Completely misconstruing the facts of that story. I would suggest that you go back and read, from any number of sources the facts on the arrest of a documented daycare teacher....
I read the link you provided then. It was sufficient.
Yes, I saw that post, and looked into it --- To clarify, the woman in question, Diana Patricia Santillana Galeano, is currently in ICE custody awaiting deportation. She entered the U.S. illegally in 2023 and brought her teenage children with her, according to DHS. The incident began when ICE attempted to stop her vehicle; she reportedly resisted arrest and ran into the Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center in Chicago. Officers followed and removed her from the facility in front of children after she continued to resist. While her attorneys note that she has a valid work permit through a pending asylum application, that does not prevent ICE from detaining her. A federal judge has temporarily blocked her removal from the region while her case proceeds. This situation underscores the difficult balance ICE faces in enforcing immigration laws while operating in sensitive locations like schools and daycares. Many being apprehended resist arrest.
Absolutely didn't need to be done the way that it was done in front of a daycare full of screaming crying children... Ice is a sickening group of people
This woman should not have resisted arrest. She alone caused what occurred due to her running from the officers.
Your opinion ... mine? Ice are domestic terrorists.
I’m going to step away from this thread. Picking apart 10-second videos isn’t helpful for forming a solid view on any of the incidents you’ve shared. I feel I’ve offered the other side of the coin, so there’s no need for me to continue ruminating.
Just say you're proud of it then...lol why even bother trying to defend this action or any other action mango Mussolini dictates
ICE had absolutely no reason to even stop this woman... She's documented. They were racial profiling.
This woman was part of no targeted arrest of any kind...If she was "documented" then she isn't on the deportation list. But she is, isn't she?
Which means they are targeting anybody that looks brown, doesn't it.
Would you expect the "first target" to be anything BUT brown? Why? Because you believe the vast majority of illegal aliens are yellow? Or red or white? Do you think that majority is a deep black in color?
I am guessing you forgot where you live. This is not Russia. This is not Iraq, This is not China - all of whom use racial profiling. In the America before Trump, we did not.
I saw where Trump was honoring another fellow dictator recently, Orbán from Hungary -they do racial profiling there as well.ICE is doing its job, following the laws on our books. Have you found any incident where an ICE officer has been charged with anything job-related?
Bovine has been dragged in front of a judge at least three times so far.... For violating the law. there are a multitude of cases citizens are bringing against the brutal actions of ice...
We were promised that this gestapo force was going to eject criminals from the country, the worst of the worst we were told.... And what we got? Rounding up brown grandmother's grandfather's mother's father's workers and our own citizens LOL
In my book, that's not doing their job.I have not found any charges related to "brutal actions"--- no clear public example (so far) I found of a field‑agent of ICE being criminally charged for a documented act of brutal force (e.g., beating, excessive use of force) during a lawful operation that matches “charged with a crime” in the typical sense of assault or battery while performing duties.
There are documented cases in which agents of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been criminally charged for misconduct. Here are a few concrete examples with the relevant details:
Roberto Padilla, a former ICE officer stationed in El Paso, was sentenced to eight months in federal prison (plus three years supervised release) after pleading guilty to receiving a bribe in exchange for revealing law‑enforcement sensitive information.
Justice Department
Joohoon David Lee, a former ICE special agent, pleaded guilty to one count of bribery and was sentenced to federal prison for accepting bribes from a businessman under investigation for human trafficking.
Justice Department
Javier Delgado‑Padín, a special agent with ICE Homeland Security Investigations, was indicted in the District of Puerto Rico for “receiving and accepting something of value in exchange for performing his official duties” and for making a false statement.
Justice Department
They are doing their job, arresting people who are in the US illegally. They are following the laws that have been set for them as ICE officers.You don't find that bovine has come before a judge many times? LOL.. ok

Actually, I did look for evidence to confirm your accusation, and what I found was no he has not been before a judge 3 times.
What is documented
Bovino has been ordered to be deposed in federal court in Chicago over enforcement tactics and crowd‑control by CBP agents under his command. For example, a judge ordered him to appear for a deposition after allegations of tear gas use.
Capitol News Illinois
He appeared before Sara Ellis, a U.S. District Judge in Chicago, in a hearing on Oct. 28, 2025, in connection with a litigation regarding use of force and immigration enforcement operations.
Chicago Sun-Times
⚠️ What isn’t (yet) clearly documented
I did not find a definitive public source showing that Bovino has been before a judge three separate times (or more) in distinct hearings where he personally appeared each time, in the manner of “in front of a judge.”
Some listings refer to depositions (which are judicial proceedings but not always in open court) and some to hearing appearances; distinguishing between “in‐court hearing” vs. “deposition” matters if one is counting “court appearances.”
The statement “at least three times” implies three distinct, separate court hearings or proceedings; I found strong evidence of one hearing (Oct. 28, 2025) and at least one deposition (Nov. 4, 2025) under oath. sources I located. AI
Note, I did not offer the above information out of an act of kindness. I saw no need to point out what looked to be an error on your part. You rarely leave sources to prove an open accusation. Perhaps you have found info that would prove the man was " dragged into court 3 times".
You know you are safe making that claim Shar, local officials cannot arrest federal officials for brutality. All they can do is file civil lawsuits which they are doing in greater and greater numbers.
Yes, a few of their arrests are of people here illegally. Even few arrests are of people who are actual criminals in the common sense of the word.
Most of their activity is harassing and brutalizing American citizens and legal immigrants. Why do you say that is part of their job?
Does it occur to you that had she not run into a day care facility that ICE would not have removed her in front of children? No? Why not?
I understand you claim that. Even if the store supports that claim, though, it is my observation that, particularly in the matter of illegal aliens being deported, any and all lies are deemed acceptable to aid in thwarting enforcement of our national laws.
In short there is no real reason to believe the claim. But even if it IS true, there is still no reason to run into a day care to escape the law. Very poor choice of routes.She was in her car, got out, and a chase followed. She ran into a daycare, where the agents went in and arrested her. No one was hurt, and in my opinion, if anyone was out of control or could have put the children at risk, it was her. ICE was doing its job, and it sounds as if they were successful. This woman is in custody and will have due process. She perhaps should have left on her own to prevent being picked up. She is illegally in the US.

Where is your PROOF of that claim (It is false, in any case). You ask WIllowarbor for proof which she had, yet you offer nothing.
No one is resisting. There's no reason to tackle these people, drag them out of cars, throw them to the ground and
Wrestle with them.... There is not one instance in which these goons asked these victims for ID FIRST.In the video you posted showing migrants being arrested, I haven’t seen any instances where the individuals weren’t resisting arrest, struggling while being handcuffed, or refusing to exit a vehicle when asked. I think it is also relevant that we only see a very small segment on video of an arrest. Seems to be getting only what the poster wants one to see.
The autistic individual is a citizen... A nonverbal citizen...
This man was not non-verbal; he was yelling and, in the end, speaking Spanish. We have no idea why he was detained, nor do we know anything about him. One thing we do knowmge was not non-verbal.
He is nonverbal... There are statements from his mother. Screaming does not equate to words...
What was he detained for? Did they release him to his mother, or is he being deported?
People apparently do not understand that these are not targeted arrests... Why would this individual be deported? He's a citizen... He was thrown to the ground because he couldn't answer questions by the Gestapo... Thank God people are witnessing this
Could you offer a source on this incident? other than an X source. How do you ascertain he is a citizen? Why is his name? Has a lawsuit been filed? It seems you just post clips with no real information. You say he is a citizen, so you should be able to, at best, provide his name and why he was detained.
Please, debunk my post, challenge my post... The man is screaming and wailing, he's autistic, nonverbal autistic why do you think he couldn't answer questions???
Because, in spite of your claim, he is an illegal alien in this country.
Claims. Claims without proof, without even the slightest evidence that they are true. Perhaps posting the rest of the story would stop such questions or suggestions.
But you won't give that. Only unproven insinuations that ICE is evil, illegal and operating outside the law. Perhaps you can provide a court case proving that even a single ICE agent was found guilty of illegal activity in an arrest by a jury of his peers?I will stand on what I have said. If you have proof otherwise, then please bring it forward.
I think we’d need the rest of the story to properly evaluate some of these posts. At the very least, a name would help so the claims could be verified or disproven. On my way home from shopping today, I heard a report that ICE agents in Chicago were shot at. They managed to drive away, but the suspects are still being sought. No one was hurt. I can only imagine we will see more of this. There are people out there who feel they can become violent to suit their cause. Someone is going to be killed.
It would appear that ice and bovine are agitating the hell out of people...
Judge permanently blocks deployment of National Guard in Portland...saying Trump exceeded his authority.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-permane … =127325048LOL "Permanently"? Hardly. It will last until SCOTUS takes a look at what another activist, leftist judge is doing and throws it in the trash with all the other laws made from the liberal benches.
I agree — but it seems that some of these judges might eventually face censure for their rulings. I think before long, we may see Trump forced to formally invoke the Insurrection Act.
Except when Trump caused one in 2021.
Invoking the Insurrection Act because some conservative judges ruled against him is beyond the pale and delusional.
Well, that certainly is bipartisan of you wanting to censure Trump-appointed judges.
I guess you didn't read the article - the judge was appointed by TRUMP. He does not appoint activist, leftist judges. At least 1/3, if not more, of the decisions against Trump are from judges appointed by him or other Republican presidents.
It seems like your partisanship is getting in the way of your thinking, in my opinion.I stand by the statement. When ICE agents are killed or federal property destroyed, SCOTUS will decide that your idiot, activist, judge is incorrect.
Your TDS has, for many months, controlled your thinking, IMO.Why would Trump appoint an "activist" judge
People never change, right? And they always tell the truth, presenting a face that reflects themselves instead of a lie.
You might have been born yesterday, I wasn't."You might have been born yesterday, I wasn't."
Can you clarify the meaning of that statement?
Would anyone like to expound upon being "born yesterday" and what that implies????
Please....It means I have learned that people change, people lie and people wear masks. Have you learned that yet?
"...that people change, people lie and people wear masks"
Is this a personal attack? Is this. Personal insult?
"Born yesterday"...
"Extremely naïve, gullible, or unintelligent, like a newborn baby. Almost always used in the negative or as a rhetorical question.""You might have been born yesterday, I wasn't."
What are you trying to say?Remember, almost all his appoints were at the direction of the Heritage foundation who vetted each candidate.
Further, a whole bunch of his own appointments and many others by other Republicans have criticized Trump for his lawlessness.
Please ask me to prove it for I have a score of examples plus hard statistics.
Again, everybody, TDS is a mythical concept developed by those who have no evidence-based rebuttal.
So now you are qualifying when SCOTUS will find in favor of federal agents illegally assaulting innocent people. I don't think so since one does not have anything to do with the other.
And what in the actual hell is this? But please tell me about communism...
An Illinois Department of Transportation employee was stopped by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents while working on a Park Ridge construction project Friday morning — and questioned about incoming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani before being released.

It's oddly amusing that folks believe they are rounding up the worst of the worst criminals LOL... Or even those who are here illegally.... It has become abundantly clear that they are arresting and detaining anyone who is brown.
"It's oddly amusing that folks believe they are rounding up the worst of the worst criminals LOL... Or even those who are here illegally.... It has become abundantly clear that they are arresting and detaining anyone who is brown." Willow
Do you have any proof of that? Where did you get this idea from? How many have been held without cause that are "just brown"? How many that may have been held are bringing a lawsuit for some form of issue related to being picked up? Must be a ton, if what you say is true.This forum has become exhausting...

There’s nothing else that they are doing , except for terrorizing anyone who doesn’t look Caucasian.Would love to hear more about the sickening actions of ice as the name of this thread describes anything else, I think the diversions need to be taken to their own thread. I've asked several times now. If folks want to heap praise upon ice and bovine... Make a thread for that.

Just now in Chicago’s Little Village, ICE agents illegally fired tear gas into the street… AGAIN. They are trying so hard to agitate people.
As residents filmed, one agent walked out to move them aside. Just as he neared the vehicle, no longer blocked, two other agents fired tear gas, one canister directly at a crowd standing next to the sidewalk, then sped away, nearly hitting a man as they fled....

They’re terrorizing hard-working families, again, with no probable cause, no accountability, and no shame....

Masked ICE agents put damper on Oak Park Girl Scout food drive: ‘It’s heartbreaking as a mom’
When a group of Oak Park Girl Scouts and their parents set out for the group’s annual food drive Saturday morning, they imagined it would be a day of helping in their community.
Instead, the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons and vehicles with dark-tinted windows as the sounds of whistles pierced the air.
“It just went from a morning of us trying to do something good and teaching the kids about helping others,” said Brooke Groulx, an Oak Park parent. “ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids.”

Question to AI....
Greg Bovino has appeared before a federal judge in Illinois on at least four occasions for court hearings, in addition to being ordered to make daily appearances for a period, which was stayed by an appeals court.
Here is a summary of his documented federal court appearances in Illinois, all related to a civil lawsuit filed by protesters and news organizations over the use of force by federal immigration agents during "Operation Midway Blitz" in late 2025:
October 28, 2025 (Tuesday): Bovino was ordered by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis to appear for a hearing and testified for over an hour regarding federal agents' use of force and compliance with a temporary restraining order (TRO).
October 29, 2025 (Wednesday): He was initially ordered to begin daily evening check-ins with Judge Ellis, but this order was temporarily blocked by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals via an emergency stay hours before his first scheduled appearance.
October 30, 2025 (Thursday): Bovino appeared in federal court for a sworn, videotaped deposition that was expected to last several hours.
November 4, 2025 (Tuesday): Bovino was deposed in federal court again as part of the suit.
November 6, 2025 (Thursday): A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against federal agents over their use of force, and a judge stated that Bovino had lied under oath during his deposition testimony regarding his actions at protests. While he was the subject of the ruling, it is not explicitly clear if he was physically in the courtroom for this specific ruling, but he was certainly a central figure in the proceedings.
All these appearances were in the context of civil litigation (not a criminal trial for Bovino personally) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.You need to offer a link to your source. What AI offered me was that he had been in court, before the bench, once. All the rest you offered is far different than being in court, as you put it ----
"Willowarbor wrote:

This was the only time he was before a judge.
October 28, 2025 (Tuesday): Bovino was ordered by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis to appear for a hearing and testified for over an hour regarding federal agents' use of force and compliance with a temporary restraining order (TRO).
Sny other procedures were not before a judge, nor was one present.
BLOCKED October 29, 2025 (Wednesday): He was initially ordered to begin daily evening check-ins with Judge Ellis, but this order was temporarily blocked by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals via an emergency stay hours before his first scheduled appearance.
What is confirmed
Bovino did indeed appear for a deposition as part of a federal case in the Chicago area. One source states he was deposed “on Nov. 4, 2025 … as part of a suit over immigration agents’ use of force” in the Chicago area.
All Rise News
A federal judge (Sara Ellis of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois) said that Bovino “admitted that he lied” during the deposition about certain events.
All Rise News
Bovino was ordered by the judge to appear for a five‑hour deposition (or what is described as such) in a case challenging federal agents’ use of force.
All Rise News
The deposition was videotaped (one article says “sworn, videotaped deposition” references appear in coverage).
All Rise News
❓ What is not clearly confirmed or is ambiguous
I did not find a credible source that confirms Bovino was deposed on October 30, 2025 (Thursday) and appeared in federal court that day for a sworn videotaped deposition expected to last several hours.
The statement that Bovino appeared in court on Oct 30 for the deposition is not clearly substantiated. While an appeals‑court article mentions he was scheduled for a five‑hour deposition “on Thursday” (which could correspond to Oct 30) in one piece.
NPR Illinois
But scheduling a deposition is not the same as appearing in court for a hearing.
The statement for November 4, 2025 is supported: source says he was deposed on Nov 4.
WTTW
Whether a judge was present during the deposition is not explicitly spelled out in the sources I found. Some depositions are conducted by attorneys (sides) and not necessarily in open court before a judge; others may be court‑ordered and overseen by a court. The sources show the judge ordered the deposition, but they don’t state the judge was present at the deposition itself.
The claim “in federal court” can be partially supported: this is a federal suit in the Northern District of Illinois, so in that sense yes. But whether the deposition took place in open court (in a courtroom with the judge) versus in an attorney’s office or remote deposition is not clearly specified. AI
What AI offered me is that there is verification that Bovine was in court once...

ICE accused of pepper-spraying 1-year-old girl and her dad near Chicago
A father, his 1-year-old daughter and other family members were pepper-sprayed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents when they were going grocery shopping in a Chicago suburb last week, the family and supporters said Sunday at a news conference.
The episode unfolded on Saturday in the parking lot of a Sam’s Club in Cicero, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, said Rafael Veraza, the father. The family — who are all U.S. citizens, according to their supporters — canceled plans to buy groceries and was trying to drive out of the area after seeing a helicopter and hearing sirens that suggested a protest nearby.
Veraza, who was driving, said he noticed ICE trucks entering the parking lot as he was leaving with his windows rolled down. As his car and the ICE truck passed each other, masked agent in the truck sprayed Veraza’s vehicle, Veraza said.
“Basically, I got sprayed all over my face,” Veraza told reporters. He soon noticed that the rest of his family had also been doused, including his daughter, who appeared to struggle to breathe. The family subsequently received medical treatment, he said.
Doctors called poison control for his daughter, while Veraza’s face had gone completely numb.
In a statement to the AP, the DHS denied that the pepper-spraying happened.
“There was no crowd control or pepper spray deployed in a Sam’s Club parking lot,” DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told the AP in a statement Monday.
ICE has been accused of overstepping its authority in recent crackdowns in Chicago that the Trump administration has labeled “Operation Midway Blitz.”
A federal judge last week issued a preliminary injunction that bans immigration officers involved in the operation from using tear gas or pepper spray on those who don’t pose a threat.
The judge, Sara Ellis, singled out Gregory Bovino, a senior U.S. Border Patrol commander overseeing the operation, as she gave her decision, saying that Bovino “admitted that he lied” about getting struck in the head by a rock before deploying tear gas.Yes, I read that vignette of terror tactics from ICE. There is something wrong with our legal system if the City of Chicago can't bring criminal charges against ICE.
Fortunately, the statute of limitations will not have run out by 2029 when the next DOJ can and should bring charges against individual agents and their supervisors.Pritzker has stated that he is consulting with the Illinois Attorney General and local state's attorneys to determine if charges can be brought against agents who have allegedly acted unconscionably and violated laws. He has suggested that "the tables will turn one day" and that agents could be prosecuted in the future. Fingers crossed! These goons need to be held accountable for their actions
Agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter in a massive show of force. Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. But after the cameras were gone, federal prosecutors did not charge anyone.
Propublica does fantastic reporting.
https://www.propublica.org/article/chic … al-chargesI'm sorry, but entering this country without permission IS a crime, whether charged as such or not.
Driving without a license or insurance IS a crime in the US, and most illegal aliens do just that.
Working without a permit is illegal for anyone not a citizen, and most illegal aliens do just that.
Your link indicates that those collected were deported...which will not happen without the crime of being here illegally.
Fantastic reporting, yes...as long as the rest of the story is not desired. As long as all that is wanted is emotionally laden statements indicating Trump, or anything to do with Trump, is behaving badly. Facts and truth need not apply.Why isn't Melania Trump being detained? She was working in America illegally for awhile? Shouldn't ICE go grab her and throw her on the ground?
And please spare me the faux outrage over a misdemeanor border crossing when you’re fine breaking the law yourself by, at the very least, speeding. That’s not principle—that’s hypocrisy.”Is she here illegally? Or are you just trolling?
Are you pretending that the only law illegal aliens commonly break is that about crossing the border? You know better, so why else insinuate it?
Worse, this act of terror by the federal agents was just a dog and pony show for the benefit of TV. There were no "gangsters" there, just innocent civilians (which they knew, I am sure0 that were not arrested or charged with anything.
It makes me sick to think these are American law enforcement when they act like the Gestopo.Innocent? Not of crossing the border illegally, and not of residing in the US illegally. They were quite guilty of both.
Gross exaggerations of Law Enforcement personnel do nothing for your case.
I sure hope this massive black mark Trump, the enemy of the people, has visited on America doesn't get swept under the rug like the massacre of Native Americans has. That this four years of infamy will be taught about and remembered forever.
https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/14/us/chica … ts-releaseOh good grief! This clean-up and removal needed to happen long ago! Every one of us here, posting, know that illegal immigration has been out of control for far too long. Now that it is being dealt with, finally --- emotions are out-of-control!
If indivifuals are being sought by ICE... they entered this country illegally!
In fact, Book-ins should be replaced with Break-ins (if you've entered into the U S.A. illegally or stayed beyond your expiration date --- you are a criminal!!)Do you really expect someone, anyone, to believe that over half of ICE deportations are of US citizens or people with the right to be here? LEGAL right under the laws of the United States, not one you have made up?
Playing word games (not a crime crime, just a misdemeanor crime so not a crime at all!) does nothing for your credibility. These people committed a crime the day they put one foot in the US, and have committed at least one more every day they remain here.These are ICE stats. 7% of those "booked in" have a form of immigration violation. This is quite obviously not something I have "made up".
"A form of immigration violation" ... beyond their initial crime.
"And what would the initial crime be?"
You already know the answer, Joel?
We don't need a game of Twenty Questions.

https://x.com/Mollyploofkins/status/199 … 47741?s=20I think if you are in the country illegally you need to be deported.
There is really no reason for anyone to be here illegally.
The state department has a program where you can self deport. The US Government will pay for your flight back to your country of origin and give you $1,000. You are then able to come back into the United States following the immigration laws. I have no idea why anyone would not partake in this program.

https://www.uscis.gov/projecthomecomingUnless you are the only person in the US who turns themselves in to law enforcement each time they run a red light or speed or jay walk, then statements like
"I think if you are in the country illegally you need to be deported.
There is really no reason for anyone to be here illegally."
are simply hypocritical and should be considered faux-outrage. It is also an attempt to bring America back to its ugly overtly racist past.
I assume you r4ealize that America was created and built on racism, the same kind racism that generates such faux-outrage. The Constitution literally had to count enslaved Black people as three-fifths of a person to keep slaveholders in the Union. Slavery itself was an open wound, a legal endorsement of white supremacy. And when Congress first wrote national citizenship rules in 1790, the Naturalization Act said only “free white persons” could become American. Our first immigration-related law was explicitly racist.
At the same time, for the “right” kind of people the borders were effectively open. If you were white and could get here, you mostly stayed. There were no numerical caps, no 20-year “line” to stand in. The gate was wide open for some, and welded shut for others.
As we grew as a country, we did start to become more decent and civilized people - on paper. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery. The 14th made anyone born here a citizen (currently under attack). The 15th promised Black men the vote (which White America promptly found away to take away from him). Later the 19th finally gave women the vote. You can watch the written Constitution inch away from its original racism.
But the culture didn’t magically follow. Beginning in the late 1800s, a fusion of white supremacy, nativism, and conservative Protestantism (MAGA today) pushes back hard. Reconstruction is rolled back. Jim Crow locks Black Americans out of real citizenship. At the same time, Congress starts writing immigration laws explicitly designed to keep the “Other” out of white America:
The Page Act and Chinese Exclusion Act target Chinese and other Asians.
Later quota laws in the 1920s ration immigration by “national origins,” favoring northern Europeans and slashing entries from southern/eastern Europe and almost everywhere else.
So the modern idea of people being “here illegally” doesn’t fall from the sky. It grows out of a system that was consciously redesigned to say: these kinds of people are welcome, those kinds are not.
Over time, though, a different moral story starts to emerge alongside the ugly one. In 1903, Emma Lazarus’s poem—“Give me your tired, your poor…”—is mounted on the Statue of Liberty. It’s not a founding document and it’s not law; it’s something more dangerous than that. It’s an aspiration. Through the 20th century it gets picked up by immigrant-aid groups, by refugee advocates, by presidents of both parties, and eventually by Congress, schoolbooks and naturalization ceremonies. It becomes the story America tells itself and the world about what we want to be: a refuge for the tired, the poor, the huddled masses, not just a fortress for the already-comfortable.
That’s why the current right-wing “if they’re here illegally, deport them, no questions asked” posture is not some timeless, neutral love of the rule of law. It’s a return to an older, explicitly racial vision of who counts as “really” American—very much like the retrenchment of the 1880s and 1920s. It ignores how our laws created “illegality” in the first place, and it shrugs off the aspirational ideal we’ve been teaching our own children for more than a century.
So when someone says, “If you’re here illegally, you need to be deported, there’s no reason to be here illegally,” the answer is:
The category of “illegal” immigrant was built on top of racism and fear of the Other, and for decades we’ve claimed a higher standard—embodied in that Statue of Liberty poem. You’re free to side with the older, exclusionary America if you want. Just don’t pretend that’s the only, or even the better, American tradition.Ho hum, again, sorry, but if you're here by not following the laws of the United States, you are here illegally. You are an illegal alien. It has nothing to do with race but everything to do with following immigration law.
There is no reason for anyone to not come into the United States legally and follow our immigration law. I've seen it. Experienced it through relatives. Legal immigrants are more than welcome and I encourage people to come here legally. Respecting the law is the first step in building a good relationship with a new country.
The United States, as all countries around the world, have a right to control our border as well as determine who is and is not permitted to enter our country and stay here.
Every country has their own immigration laws.
Again you prove my point. democrats care more about illegal aliens and criminals than legal immigrants and law-abiding American citizens.
It all comes down to following and respecting the law.
democrats may want to try such a thing some day.Once again, until you start obeying ALL laws, you have no moral authority to make such pronouncements.
"Once again, until you start obeying ALL laws, you have no moral authority to make such pronouncements."
That statement is one for the books. I have shared this with many people telling them this is today's democrat party when it comes to immigration.
Unbelievable.
Using your criteria, I would imagine nobody would qualify for jury duty or even to be a trial judge.
This is one to remember.I would say your hypocrisy is one to remember - expecting other people to do what you wont - obey the law.
"I would say your hypocrisy is one to remember - expecting other people to do what you wont - obey the law."
Another excellent statement for me to share with others. Keep them coming. We enjoy them.
You do represent today's democrat party.
ECO, I’m going to be blunt here, because your entire comment is an emotional detour that never addresses the basic point.
I don’t need to turn myself in for speeding or jaywalking to believe laws should be enforced. That comparison is illogical. A traffic ticket is not the same thing as entering and remaining in a country in violation of federal law. One is a minor civil infraction; the other is a legal status that determines whether someone has the right to stay in the country at all. If you can’t distinguish those two, you’re arguing from emotion, not logic.
And pointing out that the U.S. has an ugly racial history has nothing to do with whether current immigration laws should be ignored. We can acknowledge historical wrongs and still say that a sovereign nation has the right, actually, the obligation, to determine who enters, who stays, and under what conditions. That is not racism. That is basic national governance.
Today’s immigration laws were written by Congress, elected by voters, upheld in courts, and enforced by agencies. When someone is here illegally, the law already provides the process: removal proceedings, asylum review when applicable, appeals when warranted, and deportation when those avenues are exhausted. That’s how the legal system works. Pretending that enforcing laws equals racism is just a way to avoid admitting you don’t like the law itself.
You also jump back and forth between moral aspiration and legal reality as if they’re interchangeable. Emma Lazarus’s poem is beautiful, but it is not the Constitution. It isn’t policy. It doesn’t override statutory law. It certainly doesn’t mean anyone who crosses the border should automatically be allowed to stay because they’re “tired” or “poor.” Aspirations don’t replace actual immigration codes.
And let’s be honest: deportation is not “white supremacy.” It is literally the standard procedure used in every country on earth, including the most diverse ones. Enforcing borders is not some special American sin. It’s normal.
So let me put this simply:
I believe that if someone is in the country illegally, they should be deported because that is what the law requires, not because of emotions, not because of history, and not because of race. The law exists. A process exists. And pretending that enforcing it is a moral failure is just a way to avoid dealing with the real issue: we either have a country that enforces its borders or we don’t.
You’re free to argue that the law should change. But accusing everyone who believes in enforcing existing law of racism is an emotional argument, not a logical one. And it doesn’t make your case; it just replaces reason with outrage.

What was his crime? He was BROWN in racist Trump America. What is Charlotte's crime? They voted against Trump.Went to AI on this one.
As of November 2025, the Trump administration's current deportation numbers are lower than those of the Biden administration's final year in office. In fiscal year 2024, ICE deported approximately 271,000 unauthorized immigrants under Biden—the highest figure since 2014 and higher than any single year during the previous Trump administration. As of April 2025, the Trump administration reported roughly 140,000 people deported, although some estimates place the actual figure closer to half that number, and monthly averages remain below those seen in Biden's last year. Recent data confirm that monthly deportations in Trump’s second term have not exceeded the outstanding pace set by the Biden administration in 2024.
AI provides 10 different sources for this information.
Interesting. If I were to venture a guess as to the reason? Biden was deporting at the border rather than rooting through communities in a random fashion using an untrained militarized force.
What AI says:
Most deportations in 2024 involved people apprehended by border officials rather than those arrested within U.S. communities, reflecting the majority of removals being migrants who had just arrived rather than long-term residents.
ICE improved the efficiency of the deportation process by streamlining removal logistics and securing diplomatic agreements for countries to accept more deportees, including nations that had previously refused. In addition, the Biden administration implemented stricter asylum eligibility rules and expanded expedited removal proceedings, making it more difficult for migrants to remain in the U.S. after arriving without lawful status. These factors led to the substantial surge in deportations during fiscal year 2024.You're absolutely right. Biden deported a great many that were caught as they crossed the border. Of course, he also brought a great many illegal border crossers into the interior and set them in plush hotels at our expense.
What he did NOT do, and Trump IS doing, is deporting from the interior. Now that the crossings have decreased to near zero there aren't many caught there to be deported.
Had Biden (or Obama) done their job Trump would not have the tens of millions of illegal aliens within our borders to deal with. But they did not, we finally have a President that takes his oath seriously, and the result is what we see now; great rivers of tears from both the illegal aliens inhabiting our shores and those that are using them for cheap (and illegal) labor.You were doing great until you got to "he also brought " and then went off the rails with the myths.
As to your other myth - Saying “Biden doesn’t deport from the interior” is like saying “the IRS doesn’t audit rich people anymore” because they’re doing fewer audits than a prior year. The numbers and priorities changed, but the activity never stopped.
Biden and Obama did do their job, they just didn't break the law doing it like Trump is.
You know the other thing Biden or Obama, or any other president for that matter, is TERRORIZING the interior in chasing hard working, tax-paying immigrants like Trump is.If Biden and Obama HAD done their job, both at the border and in the interior, we would not have Trump doing what he is now. Blame them, then, for the terrorizing (your exaggerated term, not reality) going on. Though I will grant you that illegal aliens are likely afraid - criminals usually are when being actively chased.
Give me a break. Your logic makes no sense. You don't think Trump wouldn't be doing this anyway? It makes his base very happy that he is terrorizing brown people.
He would have deported...who? Had Obama and Biden done their job we wouldn't have 20 million illegal aliens roaming our streets, running from Trump and law enforcement.
Does it give you pleasure to insult people, insults without even a hint of truth in it? Pretty disgusting, actually.
