"On 26 July, the day before #TPS holders lost their work permits, CBS News reported that #ICE was targeting Springfield for a ‘potential arrest and #deportation blitz’.

"Now the blitz has arrived – by post. Over the past two weeks, scores of #HaitianImmigrants have received ‘call-in’ letters summoning them to ICE offices near Cincinnati, more than an hour’s drive away."

Chinese National Arrested In Laguna For Posing As A Filipino

Here in the Philippines, illegal immigration in the form of foreigners pretending to be Filipino citizens is a growing problem. Recently in Laguna province, a Chinese national who pretended to be a Filipino was arrested by the authorities, according to a news report by GMA News.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA News report. Some parts in boldface…

A Chinese national allegedly posing as a Filipino was arrested in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, with authorities now investigating how he obtained a driver’s license from the Land Transportation Office (LTO) that was reportedly used in the deception.

According to a report on “24 Oras Weekend” by John Consulta, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) and the National Bureau of Investigation Organized and Transnational Crime Division (NBI-OTCD) implemented a deportation order and served a warrant at a residence in a subdivision in Sta. Rosa.

However, the target was not immediately found, and only a woman was initially encountered at the house.

Authorities later tracked down the suspect within the subdivision, where he was reportedly cornered while jogging. He allegedly tried to evade arrest but was eventually subdued by operatives.

NBI Director Melvin Matibag said the Chinese national was arrested for allegedly using falsified documents identifying himself as Filipino, including a Philippine-issued driver’s license.

Authorities also recovered his Chinese passport, which remains valid until 2027, along with the LTO-issued driver’s license.

While the surname on both documents matched, the driver’s license reportedly carried a Filipino-sounding first and middle name and listed the holder’s nationality as Filipino.

LTO chief Asst. Sec. Markus Lacanilao said a review of records showed the foreign national applied for a driver’s license that was later used in assuming a false Filipino identity.

The agency clarified that the document was not a conversion of a foreign driver’s license.

“This is not a conversion of a license. A foreign-issued license converted into a Philippine license—that is not the case,” he said.

Records also showed that the suspect first applied for a driver’s license in 2010 and renewed it in 2018 in Bulacan, where his nationality was listed as Filipino.

“They use Filipino names. They try to hide by pretending to be Filipino-Chinese, but they are actually Chinese nationals posing as Filipinos,” Lacanilao said.

The arrested foreign national is currently detained at the Bureau of Immigration detention facility. He has yet to issue a statement and is reportedly filing an appeal before the Department of Justice.

Authorities said a deeper investigation is ongoing, including a review of other documents that may have been issued to the suspect, and the possible cancellation of his driver’s license.

“(Revocation) is automatic. We will cancel his driver’s license, and the places where it was issued must also be investigated,” he said.

Lacanilao also warned that such documents may be used for acquiring properties, vehicles, and other fraudulent activities. Matibag said this scheme also poses national security concerns.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Are you concerned that there could be several thousands more Chinese nationals who are living in the Philippines with false identities as Filipinos? Do you think all government agencies should be prepared to spot false documents from foreigners who intend to gain false Filipino identities? What do you think is the main reason why some Chinese nationals exerted efforts to gain Filipino identities?

Over 60 Lawmakers Launch Investigation Into Trump Administration’s Disappearances

https://murica.website/2025/09/over-60-lawmakers-launch-investigation-into-trump-administrations-disappearances/

The #Trump admin sent more *alleged* gang members to #ElSalvador despite a Massachusetts court order barring #deportations to 3rd-party countries.

They say the order only applied to the #DHS & so they had #DoD carry out the deportations.

Dishonest as hell.

#SupremeCourt Allows #Trump to Use 1798 Wartime Law to #Deport People

The nation's highest court backed Trump's use of the #AlienEnemiesAct to speed up #deportations

by Charisma Madarang, April 8, 2025

"The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a massive win on Monday, voting 5-4 to allow his administration to continue rapidly deporting alleged gang members using the Alien Enemies Act.
The law, passed in 1798, gives presidents the authority to remove foreign nationals over the age of 14 from countries where the United States is either engaged in a declared war or subject to “invasion or predatory incursion” by their country of origin. The act has been invoked three times in U.S. history, each time during wartime, and is meant to counter the actions of foreign governments and regimes, not alleged criminals, gangs, or non-state actors. The law was also used to justify Japanese internment during WWII, and now, the Trump administration is using it to justify its deportations.
In an unsigned opinion, the Supreme Court tossed a district court decision that had temporarily blocked President Trump’s attempt to continue using the 227-year-old law after he sent almost 300 Venezuelan migrants to a notorious prison in #ElSalvador, known for human rights abuses.

"All nine justices agreed, however, that anyone the administration is seeking to deport under the Alien Enemies Act must receive notice of deportation and be given the opportunity to challenge the removal through '#habeas petitions' — meaning that migrants have the right to have their detention or deportation reviewed by the federal court, but only for themselves and in the area where they are being detained.

"The court’s three liberal justices dissented from the ruling, while Justice #AmyConeyBarrett, who was appointed by Trump, partially dissented. Barrett joined Justice #SoniaSotomayor’s dissent calling the majority’s legal conclusion 'suspect' and questioning if habeas claims should be the only way to contest deportations under the act.

"'The Court’s legal conclusion is suspect,' wrote #Sotomayor. 'The Court intervenes anyway, granting the Government extraordinary relief and vacating the District Court’s order on that basis alone.'"

What to do during an ICE raid

If you are the victim: Keep calm. You have the right to stay silent. Ask for a lawyer. DO NOT RUN.

If you are a bystander: Stay calm. Don't interfere, keep distance. Inform the victims loudly and clearly of their right to stay silent. Document the raid.

Police in #RiotGear face-off with protesters in downtown #LosAngeles

Story by Josh DuBose, February 3, 2025

"Police in riot gear moved in on protesters in downtown Los Angeles after a daylong demonstration against Trump’s #immigration policies and mass #deportations.

"The #protest, which was organized and promoted on social media, originated on the Placita Olvera on Olvera Street near DTLA and saw demonstrators on the 101 Freeway at Alameda Street blocking both sides of roadway by 12:30 p.m., causing massive gridlock.

"Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department assisted by California Highway Patrol were able to clear the freeway as protesters took to downtown surface streets, but then quickly got back on the major artery through downtown at Los Angeles Street.

"Many of the protesters were carrying signs, some of which were speaking out against Trump’s policies regarding immigration.

"'The real criminal is in the White House,' one sign read. Another read
'Jesus said ‘Love Thy Neighbor,’ not deport them.'"
