Keith is right:
He’s never voluntarily STFU for five days since he was born.👶🏻
He’s not dead, but he’s not right either. And the more they cover it up the worse it looks.

"Crucially, under the current F-1 visa policies, students can only be removed for committing violent felonies, not the minor and dismissed charges levied against the students the Trump administration has targeted."
After Trump terminated the student visa records of nearly 1,900 international students at more than 280 colleges and universities—summoning more than 100 lawsuits—it will now restore those that were terminated “solely based on” minor legal infractions.
Trump Pulls 180 on Foreign Students After Staggering Legal Losses

They should be worried.
We don't like the corporate world licking the boots of fascists.
And, we have less money coupled with rising costs.
So, yes, corporate Ametrica, you should be concerned.

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue:
ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant.
The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge.
This is ridiculous.

A friend of mine has coined the term “Pinocheting” to describe what the government is doing to these prisoners.
Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Mighty coincidence that all of these US citizens getting detained are Middle Eastern-Americans.
I was waiting for this—evidence of CBP overreach at a US/Canada *land* border.
Well, here it is: a *US CITIZEN* detained in Vermont, handcuffed, and confined to a cell across from his wife.
They could have been transferred to an ICE facility.
Cross in airport pre-clearance if you can.
