The Department of Homeland Security said it will seek the arrest and deportation of those subject to the policy change if they fail to depart the U.S. in the next 30 days. Officials are urging migrants to use the newly repurposed CBP Home smartphone app to register for self-deportation.
"Please use our smartphone app to register with the gestapo" isn't the cyberpunk future I wanted.
Please use our smartphone app
Already existed before this administration. The only difference being the previous administration was slightly more humane to immigrants.
What say the people who were saying he's only deporting people who were here illegally? They called us irrational for thinking he'd strip legal immigrants of their status. Next, he'll try to take citizenship away from citizens.
Next, he’ll try to take citizenship away from citizens.
Denaturalization takes too much work and only works on naturalized citizens. He'd just skip all that deport them anyways and then if he gets called out, go "oopsie" and take 4 years to "process"/"verify" their citizenship status, meanwhile trying to seize any of their assets in the US.
That is absolutely next. Watch who the news stirs up controversy against and they will be the next target. Venezuelans are a good example of this because there were several news campaigns to tarnish them last year that are fueling the hate now.
Y'all better start learning to garden. The crops are going to be rotting in the fields this year. And no country is going to be interested in shipping any in. Ya know, tarrifs and friendly with russia and such.
Arm them.
Honestly at this point im getting a little jealous some of them have somewhere to go that isn't so...Hitlery.
The only reason why people sacrifice so much to move to another country is because their country of origin is terrible. This is just choosing between two evils. Yes, you escape the fascism of the US, but your problems are not exactly solved.
Something like Canada accepting them would be a better result.
Well Venezuelan migrants have the option of post modern distopic Narco eastern Europe.
Doesnt even seem safe to self-deport. Still gotta to through the customs to get out dont they?
Afaik they'd have to go through customs for the country they're trying to enter. I can't recall ever having to deal with US customs when leaving the US, it's always been the country I'm traveling to.
It’s still risky. A woman got detained recently because she was denied entry into Canada and forced to return to the US where they arrested her.
You have to go through TSA and ICE has broad authority within 200 miles of a port of entry. They absolutely fuck with people while they travel. Never bring anything with you that you don't want stolen. That includes cash.
Almost never, no.
Exactly my thought. For the same reason they've been arresting people at the border trying to enter the US instead of just turning them away, I expect they'll arrest anyone they seem "illegal" trying to exit the country: The prison industrial complex.
They're going to get rich off of imprisoning people and forcing them into slave labor and internment camps.
There are better and easier ways for "them" to make money. This is just maliciousness.
Well I mean the article says that they're not even going to wait until the "deadline" for so-called self-deportation before they start arresting people who came in under the immigration program:
"But DHS said it retains the authority to target migrants who arrived under this program before the 30-day period lapses. Officials say those prioritized for arrest will include migrants who have failed to apply for another immigration benefit like asylum or a green card."
So they've overnight given themselves the right to arrest people who the day before had a legal right to live in the US. Basically they seem to think the only legal and human rights that exist are those granted by their god-king or Muskolini, and they don't fear the legacy judicial system.
This is that “when they came for ____” moment when the people of the U.S. need to do something.
Yes, for sure this is going to happen. Just like Leon is profiting of the foreign workers with a working visa, and them being completely dependent on it, this is a large group of people that literally have nowhere to go. They will be exploited to the fullest extend.
What a time to be alive eh?
