  1. 20th century photos of #Mexican being rounded up and sent back highlight how mass #deportations are nothing new

    No caption is needed to explain what kind of life this is. It's the same visual world that Dorothea Lange and her FSA colleagues were documenting up and down #California at the time

    Except the families in these particular frames were Mexican, and many of them would soon be forced out of the country entirely – regardless of whether they held US citizenship.

  2. 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?

  3. Trump’s Former US Border Patrol Chief Featured in World Fascist Summit
    Right-wing extremism is going mainstream, but it’s not getting the coverage.

    [an article from #TheReadout reprinted with an introduction by #WorldOutlook]

    The following article was first published by The Readout on May 31, 2026. It highlights the participation of #GregBovino in the ultra-rightist “Remigration Summit 2026” held near Porto, Portugal, on May 30. The gathering brought together well-known #fascists from around the world.

    Bovino is the former head of the #USBorderPatrol who until the beginning of this year was the face of #US president Donald #Trump’s anti-#immigrant campaign of mass #deportations. He was pushed out of that position as part of the fallout from the mass #protests against Operation Metro Surge, which laid siege to working-class communities in #Minnesota — especially around #Minneapolis and St.Paul.

  4. I've hinted at this (below) before, as we've watched the #USA slide into #fascism. But with #ICE and the #DoJ now routinely ignoring court orders, or engaging in malicious compliance, and offering obviously bad-faith arguments about how their actions didn't actually violate court orders, it's become pretty apparent that the #immigration issue is the one driving this #lawless #government.

    Did I say immigration? Sorry, I meant the #racist issue. The administration has been very clear and very explicit about their actual goals - bragging about how they're going to "restore" #America with 100,000,000 #deportations. That's basically the number of non-white people in the #country, most of whom were born in the USA and are lawful, #inalienable #citizens. Then there are the slogans and mottos stolen directly from the #Nazis, talking about #purifying Germany and all the rest. They are not being subtle about this.

    Building #concentration camps is a pretty solid clue, too. The death #camps in #WWII started out like this, trying to #deport people. But when you can't move fast enough, well, you gotta do something, right? So #gas chambers and #crematoriums... ICE isn't meeting its #deportation quotas, so they're letting people die of neglect and abuse. It'll get there.

    So, the point: if (big IF) #USAnians can recover their #country, it won't really be over until #Stephen #Miller meets his end after a short #drop and sudden stop at the #Hague.

  5. Imagine being so evil, a Catholic priest shouts "THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU" at you at the top of his lungs. That's where we are with Kristi Noem. We're executing exorcisms at the Trump administration. Thank you Padre. ✝️

  7. Florida's Hispanic community VOTED FOR THIS.

    They were warned what would happen if they supported Trump. They ignored the warnings and supported him anyway.

    I have no sympathy for them. None. They ASKED for this. They DEMANDED it.

    They buried their heads in the sand and pretended that Trump and his racist campaign were not lying about their intentions to deport people of color regardless of their status.

    If you vote a racist into office, you will get racist policies and actions from the government.

  8. When Judge Hendrix did not grant their request quickly — & later rejected it entirely — the #ACLU lawyers filed a similar request to the US Court of Appeals for the #FifthCircuit in New Orleans.

    The lawyers then filed an emergency petition to #SCOTUS, asking the justices to step in & issue an immediate pause on any #deportations because many of the #Venezuelan men had “already been loaded on to buses, presumably headed to the airport.”

  9. #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.'"

  10. #Trump's #BorderCzar stated that mass #deportations will target not only criminals but also long-term #undocumented immigrants, raising concerns about widespread violations of #civilrights. The plan may involve using the #military for support tasks, further escalating tensions.
