All of you know Trump is the US president who surrendered in Afghanistan, right? Made a deal in 2020 cutting out the Afghan govt, let thousands of Taliban fighters out of jail in exchange for nothing.
I know the "everything in 2020 was Biden's fault, not Trump's" rule, I just don't agree with it.

this should go without saying but if you were one of the lucky few we did get out of Afghanistan during the withdrawal and we got you out because you'd been working with us, deportation back is likely a death sentence.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

Monsters, all the way down.
The numbers vary from study to study but hundreds of thousands of people have died because of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio illegally disbanding USAID — a body count on par with the first eight years of the Syrian civil war — In just seven months. It’s mass death that is simply unfathomable in scale.

People are still being abducted, but it’s less visible with Bovino gone.
“…those affected by the blitz across Chicago and its suburbs are facing a new normal in its aftermath. Thousands of families are now living with trauma and disruption, whether they’ve been reunited like Quishpe, have loved ones still detained or feel their loss from deportation.”

As Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino and his agents move on to other cities, those affected by the immigration crackdown in the Chicago area face a new normal in its aftermath.

This is paradoxically the most impactful thing about Bovino’s operations once he leaves it appears ICE and other DHS units are stay emboldened to operate but this draws much less attention then his much more camera facing and offensive operations. We have seen this in Chicago and LA after he leaves.
Since Bovino left it seems every day or every other day I hear of someone abducted by ICE agents. It’s slower, less flashy, but still happening.
“Rey Wences, senior director of deportation defense at the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, noted that “abductions” continue happening “every day in both the city and the suburbs.”

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Perfect choice of verb. “Burrowing,” like the parasitic worms they are.
DOGE is down to about 45 employees, but others have burrowed their way into government agencies as full time employees. Some are helping Vought's efforts to downsize the government. Others are implementing private AI across government.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

This is the pattern: ICE/CBP initiate violence toward observers and protestors, then they claim they were assaulted in order to use the threat of prison to silence dissent.
