On Friday SCOTUS allowed the administration to revoke the protected status of about half a million Venezuelans, Cubans, Haitian and Nicaraguan migrants. This is on top of an order on May 19th removing the protection of a further 350,000 Venezuelans.
Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor issued a coruscating dissent, arguing that this would seriously disrupt the lives of tens of thousands of families.
These legal immigrants are mainly in full employment in agriculture, construction, catering and factories. They pay billions in taxes and cannot claim benefits.
The Administration promptly set about rounding up as many as possible, sending them to hearings where their claims for asylum were dismissed and holding them for deportation flights.
At the weekend there were appalling scenes as ICE raided courts where these immigrants had to report regularly, places of employment, building sites and so on. When the locals protested, ICE operatives in full riot gear fired stun grenades and other ordinance at them. Several citizens were detained.
This is America, the land of the free. God help them.

You mean the land of genocide for native peoples?

Anything in the US can be ignored unless the downtrodden are white.

I tried to find coverage of that but just ended in a confused collection of stories about SCOTUS rulings or about the US deporting criminals to South Sudan - people from Asia, Cuba and Mexico being deported to Africa. (I suppose because they're convicted criminals it's marginally better than the Tories trying to deport innocent people to Africa.)

Oddly, the best explanation is in the Guardian. Sorry, but needs must. On utube, meidastouch is good too. You can Google the guardian article with something like ‘SCOTUS enables deportation of paroled aliens.’ Meidas can be found on utube.

Pretty easy even for Louisianan GOP to ban something that doesn't exist...at least they're doing something.. right?

Take it seriously please. If this gets through the Louisiana Senate, how would they enforce the ban? Shoot down passenger jets? Stop planes flying from airports in the state? Largest is Louis Armstrong in New Orleans... I see skies of blue and clouds of white.

What a wonderful Maga world.
