Trump Administration Begins Deportation Flights in Message of Zero Tolerance

[Social Media]

 

The White House announced that deportation flights have officially commenced as part of the Trump administration’s strategy to address illegal immigration. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated on Friday that "deportation flights have begun," releasing images of individuals boarding military aircraft. "President Trump is sending a strong and clear message to the entire world: if you illegally enter the United States of America, you will face severe consequences," Leavitt emphasized.  

 

Data obtained by Fox News Digital reveals that, over a 33-hour period from midnight on January 21 to 9 a.m. on January 22, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations arrested over 460 individuals. Those detained included people with criminal records involving offenses such as sexual assault, robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, drug and weapon violations, resisting arrest, and domestic violence.  

 

The arrests included nationals from a wide range of countries, including Afghanistan, Angola, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Senegal, and Venezuela. In one notable operation, ICE agents detained several individuals at a fish market in Newark, New Jersey.  

 

The Newark operation has drawn sharp criticism from local officials, including Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. Baraka described the raid as an "egregious act" and a violation of constitutional rights, asserting that agents conducted the operation "without producing a warrant." He highlighted the case of one detainee, a U.S. military veteran, who allegedly "suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned."  

 

"This egregious act is in plain violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees ‘the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,’" Baraka wrote in a statement. He added, "Newark will not stand by idly while people are being unlawfully terrorized."  

 

The mayor reaffirmed his commitment to protecting civil and human rights in the face of federal immigration enforcement actions. "I am ready and willing to defend and protect civil and human rights," Baraka said, underscoring Newark’s position as a city that stands against what he views as unlawful and heavy-handed tactics.  

 

The deportation flights and accompanying arrests mark a decisive step in the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce immigration laws and crack down on unauthorized entry. However, the actions have sparked heated debate, with critics pointing to concerns over constitutional violations and the treatment of those caught in enforcement operations.

There might be somebody so hopeless they can't get an ID, have a birth certificate, speak English, have an address or anything that connects them to the USA. Most of those people already moved to Thailand though.

You are naive. 

Such citizen deportations have happened before but with a historic mass deportation of many millions as Trump promises, they will happen a lot more.

As they will tend to not be maga white people, don't expect the maga movement to care about that.

How Hundreds Of Americans End Up Illegally Detained In U.S. Immigration System : The Two-Way : NPR

 

Don't freak out, but I agree with you that Biden was crap on this issue, and tried to repair it too late. 

[impulse]

About the only bit of compassion I can scrape up is for the people that Harris/Biden convinced to waste $10,000 of their money to pay the cartels to enter the US illegally.  To most of them, that's a lot of money.

 

The Dems should offer those people a refund.  Maybe from their campaign funds.

No link? I will let it go as you actually admitted that Biden is largely responsible for this. I thought you were going to bring up the Cambodian thugs that never got their papers.

How do they know which country they originally come from? Are all these countrys allowing the USA to land and drop off people? Interested in how it will work.

There is no requirement to deliver anybody to their country of origin. To successfully deport an illegal alien you just need a spot that takes them anywhere in the world. They can volunteer where they are from if they don't like the choice provided.

 

So in that respect the world is their oyster.

How would they deport US citizens? did that happen when Obama deported over 5.3 million?

Could always send them to a camp in the Negev desert if they don't front up with the info.

 

Australia doesn't care where they originated from when sending them to an off shore destination. They don't land in Oz, PERIOD.

Ship them to a camp in Alaska and they can do their 5 years there waiting. Most of the arguments about how we can't send them out are ridiculous. I heard Guantanamo has some vacancies.
