'Reign of terror': Trump immigration raid blasted for targeting veteran

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Trump administration is coming under fire for an immigration raid in New Jersey that detained an American citizen who is also a military veteran.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided a Newark, New Jersey, business on Thursday. According to Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, “one of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned.”

The raid comes just a few days after Donald Trump signed a flurry of anti-migrant executive orders as his administration and congressional Republicans plan to implement a policy of mass deportation. In an interview with longtime Trump admirer Sean Hannity on Fox News, Trump said his policy is focused on migrants who pose a security threat, which can be determined by merely looking at people.

“Open borders with people pouring in. Some of whom, I won’t get into it, but you can look at them and you can say, ‘Could be trouble, could be trouble,” Trump said. Trump is a racist who has expressed anti-migrant sentiment for years, largely targeting brown-skinned members of minority groups.

Veterans are suckers and losers according to Cadet Bone Spurs.

1. The brighter side of this issue:

One of my fears about this mass-deportation thing is that the way it was written, it seems that /anyone/ could be rounded up, held and deported without any kind of trial or due process. (Apparently all it takes is for someone to point a finger and say they /think/ they are shoplifters) and that would be enough to be swept away without any kind of ability to prove your case (i.e. You are an American Citizen, you have a green card, you have a visa and are here legally).

Since we know about this Veteran being rounded up, then it is not that horrible.

Oh, but it is horrible enough. My heart is breaking for all of the frightened people because of this insanity. I cry every day since the election. I cry for my country.
