I protested the illegal deportations without due process today and it had nothing to do with a 5% tax. Also, I was unpaid -Ii have heard a lot of propaganda that protestors are getting paid to show up. No, I'm just American. I want America to survive, so I'm showing up to peacefully - not in a jan 6th way - draw attention to the lack of due process with current ICE operations. ICE quotas are so high that they're making mistakes - we're deporting legal citizens. Exitless prison for people we aren't even sure we should be removing id bonkers. Exitless prison is bonkers, typically people get deported back to their country of origin.

Ps. At the protest today I heard the "no Ice, no kkk, no fascist USA" chant and I'm not a no-ICE person. I believe in secure borders and I was really angry when trump killed the 2024 border deal just so he could run on border security.

Ps This game isn't brown vs white or legal vs illegal, it's rich vs poor. And if your staff isn't reading this to you while you enjoy your seventh home's infinity pool before jetting to your Never Die Immortality Retreat on some gorgeous island, you're not who they consider "rich." Be careful, these are high stakes with lasting consequences.

Thanks for reading.

Did you protest during the Clinton deportations? Or the Bush Deportations? Or the Obama deportations (which greatly outnumbered Trumps deportations)? All deported without “due process.” No. You did not. No one did. If you oppose and want to protest the deportations of rapists, murderers, drug dealers and traffickers, be my guest. The organizing you see (gas masks, coordinated signage and attire, cinder blocks, etc) is a coordinated effort bought and paid for by those who have a vested interested in keeping that 5% in their countries and upsetting the electorate here. Do I want to see hard working honest immigrants deported? No. In fact, I have hired immigration attorneys to help others with their immigration status. But that’s not what this is. This is something much more sinister. And it’s just the beginning. So I, for one, and happy for a strong arm and a strong stance stopping another “summer of love” before it begins.

DJT First Term: 1.5 million deportations

Barack Obama: 5 million deportations

George W. Bush: 10 million deportations

Bill Clinton: 2 million deportations
