    "US citizens from Puerto Rico." Yeah, they're aliens. They should be deported.
    Readers added context
    Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, and Puerto Ricans are American citizens. uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req…

    A three-year old, his mother, and his grandmother were speaking Spanish while shopping at a department store in Milwaukee. They’re U.S. citizens from Puerto Rico, but were taken by ICE:

    Michael's only 17. His immigrant family is on public assistance, so he can use a 45-minute discount on Citi Bike. He was re-docking to restart the clock to get a new discount to get home. Then Comrie showed up. @thejournalista actually talked to Michael.

    A father screams for his child inside of a tiny interview room within a basement waiting room inside LA federal building. The space is not a holding area. No food. No water. No diapers. Those initially detained include a 2-year-old US citizen and a woman with high-risk pregnancy.

    A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which held his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/default/…
    A screenshot from a court filing reads, in part: 

"Julio Noriega is 54 years old, was born in Chicago, and is a U.S. citizen. 

On January 31, 2025, he was walking [...] in Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses. 

As he walked out of a Jiffy Lube, he was approached by ICE officers who grabbed and handcuffed him and put him into a van, without an opportunity to explain his citizenship. 

The officers drove Julio and others around for more than an hour before bringing him to an ICE processing center, where he remained, still handcuffed, for several more hours. 

All the while, Julio had a wallet containing identification that ICE had confiscated.

The officers never showed Julio a warrant, and they did not ask him any questions to ascertain whether he was a noncitizen or a flight risk. 

After about 10 hours, ICE officers reviewed the contents of Julio’s wallet, realized he was a U.S. citizen, and released him with no money and no paperwork."

    David Choe, as in the guy who detailed the way he raped a woman? And then came back to say it was just a misunderstood version of his reality? Ok.

    It wasn’t until they were in detention that the mother was allowed to produce identification and birth certificates indicating their citizenship. “I’m so sorry,” she was told. The family had to order and pay for a ride back home.

    A woman driving 25 mph in a 40 mph zone in Tucson was pulled over by Arizona state troopers. Border Patrol arrived, detained her and her two children, threatened to send them to Guantanamo – and deported them to a country they’re not even from.

    Obama had eight years to pass meaningful immigration reform. For two of those years, Dems had the White House, the House, and the Senate. They didn’t get it done. Instead of owning and learning from their failure, the party pushes an ahistorical narrative that blames “activists.”

    Yup! Dems had a very popular message and policy on immigration. But thanks to a small group of activists who never represented most Latinos or immigrants, this is what happened when Biden used the same exact language in 2020: politico.com/story/2019/08/…

    Have you ever been to Temescal Canyon? It's covered in chaparral that needs fire (naturally generated by lightening) to regenerate. Indigenous peoples knew this and lived in balance. Settlers, focused on control, turned it into Pacific Palisades and built homes in a carpet bomb.
