One woman said her cousin was called to come in at 8 a.m. for what they thought was a routine appointment.

“They were tricked into coming to see their immigration officer, as they've done time and time again, but this time they were caught by surprise and taken away,” she said. "He was given everything. Proper documentation. All he had to do was check in with immigration monthly, weekly, through a phone and continue following up until his court date, to decide if he could stay forever. And today was a normal check-in as far as we knew.

But when hours went by and their family didn't hear from him, she went to see if something was wrong.
It wasn’t until she saw a photo and videos of a group of at least half a dozen people in zip-ties being placed into SUVs that she realized her cousin had been detained.

"These people aren't bad people, these people aren't criminals," she said through tears. "The person, my family member, they took away today, is not a criminal. He has never been to jail."
And her cousin wasn’t the only one. Another woman said she waited for more than five hours before her son was escorted out by agents.

"They said, 'Come over here at 2 o’clock because we need to fix something on your phone for the application that we supervise you,'" she said. "And yeah, that was a lie."
She said 30-year-old son came to the United States from Venezuela when he was just 6 years old.
"They didn’t give us the opportunity to at least tell us, 'Look, you have a deportation order, we want you to be removed by February or something,'" she said. "They just [give us] lies. They were lying to him."

1. This is what they found for the Chicago "highly educated" migrants: nobody showed up

Nobody went into the office for these tricks.

It makes ICE's job much harder if there are lawyers involved and you have to get picked up at your domicile. Don't bring yourself to the slaughterhouse.

6. Good for them. Remember Desantis tricked people for his Martha's Vineyard trick

Trying to out cruel Abbott in Texas.

3. Trump took a staggering 42% of the Latino vote this election.

So there ya go. Almost half of this voting block is now seeing their vote in action.

All of us get to feel the consequences.

4. Hope the millions of voters in South Florida who supported Trump, many of whom are immigrants themselves,

or have family members, close friends and co-workers who are, are re-thinking their votes.

7. Probably not

I doubt that this will change many minds in that area.

5. My apologies

But why is it that they believe that the only crimes are murder, rape, and theft? Has no one told them about civil crimes or is just a self imposed case of denial?

Noem rescinded the deportation protections for Venezuelan immigrants today.

8. What is a civil crime? Nt

9. Fraud, embezzlemwnt, white collar crime

10. I consider those "crimes." Civil vs criminal is usually a

Meaningful distinction. For example, if your neighbor cuts down a tree on your property without your permission, you have a civil case.
