I liked this part of the story:
"Kasper Erikesen, a Danish father of four and green card holder who made posts supporting Trump, was among those detained while actively trying to become a U.S. citizen. "
The Schadenfreude is delicious
Oh no, anyway you guys can keep him, we’ve got enough idiots as it is
Probably increase the average intelligence of both countries if the US keeps him
Fuckin ouch lol
They’re just arresting people here legally at this point.
I know a few Venezuelans who are citizens, and they tell me they aren’t worried, but I am. I’ve heard they are review citizenship and green card applications, and looking for discrepancies, and if they find them, they are pulling their citizenships. They don’t even respect birthright citizenship, which is in the Constitution. They aren’t going to respect the citizenship process.
Bottom line, if you were born somewhere else, they want you gone. After that, they’ll be going after actual citizens they don’t like.
If they come near anyone I know, I’ll be going near people they know. FAFO
It’s scary and I hate it. It’s giving me stress shits.
The u.s has a big history of fucking their interpreters. Don’t assist the u.s army.
they are going to need interpreters in this war, and I hope no one in Iran is stupid enough to help Americans.
This. Look at how shitty we treat our soldiers. The Americans you help in the field, the lives you’ll save, they will all appreciate it, but our leaders will go out of their way to fuck you over.
That seems to be an international trend.
Fuck the guys that helped keep our soldiers alive during the nation building war that we started. So glad we paid for those white South Africans to come here. /s
hey, they might have risked their lives to protect and help American troop. but have you considered they are brown?
Thugs who cover their faces at asylum hearings which cannot be considered a tactical situation in any way need to be prosecuted and imprisoned.
Chickenshit motherfuckers.
In fact that goes for any sort of legal proceeding.
This is what drives me crazy. So trump can get away with pretty much anything, that’s been established. Well then start going after the stormtroopers who are carrying out these illegal orders. Take these little toadies and toss them in prison, then we’ll see how many people follow trumps orders
Needs to be on state charges though or he’ll just issue a federal pardon
It really hasn’t been established. The courts have ruled against him repeatedly, and most of the time trump gives in just like all of the masterful negotiations he is part of.
The things trump gets away with are the result of poorly written laws that were intentionally left vague so that the people who wrote them could someday take advantage of the vagueness themselves. That said. How many trump associates from his first term ended up in jail or having major monetary settlements against them. There always seems to be more people willing to roll the dice for trump. That is something I wish we could better understand so that we could counter it.I agree, but you have to understand the courage it will take to do it. The first judge who does so could end up dead, and maybe their family too. Threats against judges have been dramatically increasing(archive.ph link). Every one of them has to be thinking, if I hit any of these thugs with a contempt charge, my family could be killed. Would you do it? I don’t know if I could unless I knew my family were in hiding or surrounded by armed security.
The U.S. Marshals Service investigated 373 separate threats to judges in the first five months of 2025, compared with 509 probes all of last year, according to agency data that U.S. District Judge Esther Salas of New Jersey shared with The Washington Post. The threats targeted 277 judges, some of whom were threatened more than once, compared with 379 judges threatened in all of 2024.
The Marshals Service is also reviewing more than 100 anonymous, unsolicited pizza deliveries to judges and their families in at least seven states and the District of Columbia in recent months — incidents that the judges and investigators see as ominous messages to the recipients that the sender knows who they are and where they live.
Some of the deliveries went to judges handling lawsuits against the Trump administration, The Post has reported. At least 20 deliveries have been made in the name of Salas’s son, Daniel Anderl, who was fatally shot at the family’s home in 2020 by a disgruntled lawyer posing as a delivery person.
Revolutions are rarely bloodless. People need to stand up for their convictions or bend over and take it. There is no in between.
You’re not wrong, but it takes tremendous courage to be the first through the door when you know you are likely to die for it.
Can’t judges requisition anyone as a Marshal and send them to capture ICE thugs held in contempt? I don’t think that will happen but maybe it should.
They do indeed have options, but as I posted, there has been a huge uptick in threats against judges this year including threats against their families. It’s not the marshal’s or police who would be in real danger arresting an ICE agent. It would be the judge who gave the order. It will take a judge with real courage to issue that order.
Its just a continuation of their home fashion with the top cut off the hood. They go home at night to burn crosses with all their friends
Time for all migrants to wear maga hats or ICE costumes to their hearings
Not that I’m a fan of any of America’s modern wars, but the way we pulled out of Afghanistan was just above and beyond a shit show. We spent over a decade running around with our dicks in our hands, and when its finally time to end the farce we decide that it has to be done virtually overnight.
I’m not one to normally “both sides” Democrats and Republicans, but imo bidens refusal to change the withdrawal does lend evidence to that argument, at least when it comes to certain foreign policy. We fucked over the country, but worse of all we fucked over the people who actually believed in whatever good will we were selling them on.
I volunteer with an organization that connects healthcare providers like myself with Afghan refugees. When they came over here they didn’t have access to social security numbers, programs like Medicaid or Medicare, or even Tricare. They were basically being brought with what they could carry and then dumped in section 8 housing in some of the roughest neighborhoods in the area.
My friend Mahmud was a translator who had been blown up in an IED attack while serving with our military. I met him because he was trying to find a job without papers, but had a hard time keeping up with his work because he had severe drop foot because he was missing the anterior of his calf muscle.
His wife, himself, and their 6 beautiful children were living in a rundown two bedroom apartment, and even though they had virtually nothing they were gracious host. They basically force fed me tea and what little food they were provided to live off of.
This article is just another example of the government wiping its hand of any responsibility when we decide to make war. Mahmud and his family are doing so much better now, but it’s only because we have a very active Islamic community that has taken the responsibility over caring for these families. Things like this make me embarrassed to be an American citizen.
If you ever have the chance to befriend an person from Afghanistan, I highly recommend it. Be warned, you will basically be kidnapped and forced to eat more food than you can handle, they are an aggressively loving people.
Biden just followed through with what was negotiated with the Taliban by the former Trump administration. If the US doesn’t follow through we lose credibility in all future negotiations with everyone.
What you’re complaining about is the fact that Trump et all made an agreement to pull out the troops within a certain (completely unreasonable) timeline. They had no idea WTF they were doing and obviously didn’t do due diligence or any sort of logistics planning for such a withdrawal before making the agreement.
If you think that sounds like bullshit let me ask you this: Does Trump ever do due diligence on anything? During his first administration nearly all his executive orders got thrown out because they were deemed arbitrary and capricious and during his second administration it looks like we’re getting the same exact situation.
They don’t know what they’re doing. They don’t know how to govern. If they didn’t have several powerful right wing media empires backing up every stupid decision they make Trump would never have been re-elected and he’d have long since been impeached in this administration.

I am skeptical of the claim that we had any credibility to lose in respect to our dealings in Afghanistan. Plus, our negotiations weren’t with the Taliban, they weren’t in control of the country until we extracted. Our dealings were with the former Afghan government who weren’t in favour of the expedited process.

And knowing that the Biden administration still rammed through the pull out. It’s not like delaying the pull out of Afghanistan didn’t already have a precedent.
What do you think makes us look worse on the global stage…? A slight and understandable delay in moving our troops out, or completely abandoning our partners to a regime that everyone knew was going to hunt them and their families down in retribution?
You are pretending as if geopolitics is completely devoid of nuance.

Again, I fail to see how that makes the Biden administration seem competent if they chose to proceed with something they knew was going to be a shit show.
My point was that it was a shit show, and that both administrations are in some way responsible for it.
You lost credibility with all your allies, who came for help when you called NATO, article 5, lost hundree s of soldiers during a couple of decade, and then were left alone in the chaos with no warning.
The both sides thing is hard to get around sometimes and people who believe in the more traditionally classic form of democracy like Biden make it that much harder. While republicans will get elected with a 0.5% margin and call it a mandate to change everything, people like Biden tend to approach the situation with more of an idea that the people voted for Trump and changing what Trump did would be going against what the people voted for, sometimes to a fault.
It’s also just stability and cooperation. Every other president came in with the idea that we were all working towards the same goal with different ideas on how to get there. They’ve taken the country in good faith from their predecessor and generally carried forth close to their vision on the things they were working on. No matter which side you’re on, the things that get attention are usually done in an intelligent way that makes sense. It’s generally better to shift the agenda by focusing on new things than to focus on the things that were fixed literally last year.
This president has the exact opposite behavior. He’s aggressively destroying anything Biden or Obama have built, down to straight up trashing assets of the USPS (including mail sorters).
this is just flat out incompetence
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
Doesn’t sound like incompetence at all. Sounds like they’re being dick heads, as intended.
