Didn't Trump promise he was only going after the criminals? Why did his goons throw this woman out of the country after living here peacefully for almost 30 years?
Why?
Pastor's Wife Deported After 30 Years in U.S. as Family and Officials Clash Over Her Legal Status
In a matter of days, Maria Isidro – a nanny and a preacher's wife – went from being in Live Oak with her family to being deported to Matamoros, Mexico, after a one-way trip from the federal government.
Isidro, a Mexican immigrant who came to the U.S. in 1998, went to what she thought was a routine immigration check-in June 3 in Tallahassee. She thought U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement needed more paperwork for her case. But instead, she was detained and held for eight days before she was removed to Mexico.
On June 11, after an 15-hour trip by van and by plane from a Florida detention center to Mexico, immigration officials threw a red mesh bag of her belongings at her feet and drove off.

Speaking of immigration, here's how one blogger puts it...
"The good news is, that we are getting those people that have criminal records out of the country. The better news, depending on which number you want to believe, that between 48% and 75% of those deported so far have no criminal record other than they came to the United States illegally. That’s exactly what we voted for.
Trump has said he’s going to concentrate the deportation efforts on the “blue cities”, basically the bigger cities in our country. Why? Simple. That’s where it’s easiest to hide, and most of them are self-declared “sanctuary cities” and will to some degree protect the illegals. And again, that’s exactly what we voted for when we elected Donald Trump. And most of the country is in agreement with that."
So here we are. I know Trump "said" he'd start with the most heinous criminals. But many of us knew that was a ruse. Heck, even Ms. Z is not in favor of deporting the family who came here 20 years ago, keeps their nose clean, pays their taxes and contributes to their new country.
But that is indeed what her fellow voters want.
What happened to prioritizing the worst of the worst? It never really existed in the real world and surprisingly, Trump lied.
As for the blue states... TX and Fla are the the number 2 and three states with the most illegal immigrants. They also have large cities where "it's easiet to hide".
So why is Trump not targeting those states? The answer is simple. Simple politics and retribution.
Yesterday, my friends went to their kids school in Pasadena, CA to pick their citizen kids up. All the kids leaving were greeted by gun toting ICE officers, as were parents, some of whom, along with their kids, were apprehended. One pastor, trying to shield a kid from a "scary man" with a gun, was himself arrested, at gun point.
Let's be honest. These practices are not aimed at the worst of the worst. They are being carried out by the worst of the worst and scaring a vulnerable population. I know some of you have lost your humanity and don't care about that, but America has always been about the "tired, poor, huddled masses, yearning to breathe free..."
Until now.
Because he is a flaming ignoranr A-hole. And most of his policies and beliefs are resting on the same A-hole mentality.
Rule of Law. Either that means all laws, or it means none. Choose.
Checking in. It's not like she was trying to hide. I'll bet the check in's are going to be dropping way off.
Amazing to read -FJ cite, “ Rule of Law” while supporting the most criminal president in our history! if it wasn’t for double standards, MAGA would have no standards at all.
-FJ... how does the "rule of law" apply to the Jan 6 criminals who beat US Capitol Police Officers? How does it apply to the POTUS?
Are those cop beaters subject to the law? How about the felon president?
ICE is literally waiting outside Immigration to pick people up after their immigration status is voided. The immigrant goes to their regularly legally scheduled appointment, Immigration voids their case leaving them free for deportation. ICE is outside waiting, easy peasy, people are hustled into vans, whisked away to private prisons in another state and they are ready for the next one.
People who have been doing the work, showing up for their appointments, getting jobs as is required when applying for citizenship have decades of work tossed without an thought and we have our trolls calling these folks illegal.
If wishes could manifest here/now it would be for the Global community to investigate what is happening here, finding shenanigans as in election tampering, and there being a whole big issue in getting things set correctly. At least that's my mother's wish and as a dutiful child I really hope my mom's wish is fulfilled, for the good of all and may it harm none. caveat - harm and hurt are not the same thing, just saying.
Choose? Trump does the choosing, to heck with the law.
Rule of law can by tyranny without equal justice under law. Hitler's concentration camps were by "rule of law".
Except there IS no rule of law for Trump. We have lawless criminal administration and president. Trump's defense counsel/partisan "Justices" on the Supreme Court terminated that quaint value. Rule of law needs priorities. Every officer assigned to capture non-violent immigrants is one less to capture the worst offenders.
America chose unequal justice under law in 2016 and 2024. America chose tyranny.
Rule of Law: it was once lawful to turn over fugitive slaves and return them to slavery. In Germany, it was against the law to hide Jews from the Nazis. In this country and other countries it was against the law to be homosexual. It was once lawful to hold human beings as chattel in this country. Human beings are notorious for making inhuman laws.
Grey, it's worse... ICE has asked other departments in the government that if they have hearings in court with people, for any reason, including criminality, to notify them of the date of the next hearing.
Then they ask the other government organization to, in court that day, to drop all charges against immigrants, legal or not.
Once the judge accepts the government's dropping of charges, the person walks out of the court room a free man, and ICE takes him at that moment for immediate deportation.
It's disgusting, though 100% legal.
It's facism working in America. The authoritarians are having their day.
