"In certain ways, the autumn of 2025 in the United States has recalled the autumn of 1938 in Nazi Germany.
The mass deportation of undocumented people was one of Hitler’s largest coercive policies before the war."

"The only known #photographs of the #deportation of the #Jewish population in the #German city of #Hamburg have been discovered in a German #police officer’s secret #photo album.
Until now, no visual record of the #deportations from Hamburg was known to exist. But researchers have now identified three photographs taken in October #1941.
For 84 years, these #images remained hidden in the private album of a German #policeman who served in #Unit101 of the #Ordnungspolizei, or “green police,” a unit involved in #deporting and #murdering tens of thousands of #Jews during the #Holocaust."

“ #ICE arrested🚨💔military spouses at green-card interviews. Think about that: people married to U.S. service members, following the legal process, pulled into detention. If even military families aren’t safe, then no one is.”
-A Kocher
None of the military spouses who were cited in the article, had criminal records.

The Trump regime wants to start making a list of Jews (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/us/eeoc-university-pennsylvania-antisemitism-jewish.html). Now where have I heard that one before?

CANNOT SAY THIS ENOUGH:
everything #ICE does is connected to the #genocide of Palestinians in #Gaza ―notice how many aren't deported to countries of "origin".
end-of-times “christian zionists” believe all Jews need to be repatriated to “the Holy Land”, to convert them to Christianity, in preparation for Christ’s return.
when Mike Pence says: “Our Founding Fathers championed the return of the Jewish people to Israel”; read that thru the lense of #deportations

"But the reality is that America has become less religious — about 28% of Americans claim no religion — because white Americans are less religious."
Bob Smietana notes that in having immigrants rounded up, detained, deported, Trump is doing MAGA bidding. But MAGA also wants America "returned" to the "Christian" nation it was originally — or so MAGA imagines.
And ironically, Trump's draconian anti-immigrant policies are having the opposite effect from what MAGA wants in the second arena: they threaten to make the nation less Christian.

"Younger white Americans are one of the least religious groups in the country — while nonwhite Americans and immigrants are among the most religious. ...
Podcaster and conservative personality Tucker Carlson, known for his controversial takes on American culture — and his recent interview with antisemitic activist Nick Fuentes — has blamed immigration for the decline of religion in America."
"And especially in North Carolina, when small businesses are 50% of your workforce and also farms and agribusiness are the number one economic driver in your state…. This is just impacting people, again, who don't feel safe to go to work, even if they are U.S. citizens. And it's just it's hit everybody everywhere in every sector."

"What are you doing to the economic life? I've heard reports that in particular construction sites, for example, are empty. People aren't showing up for work."

"They're targeting places like Home Depot and grocery stores and not the places that you would typically find your most violent criminals right now. And I think that it's having an economic impact...."

"Trump’s tariffs are raising the price of material inputs and his deportations labor inputs, jacking up housing prices.
The same is happening on farms that are so short-staffed that Trump’s own Department of Labor warns the nation’s food supply is at risk.”

"Vice President JD Vance claimed last week, ‘Illegal immigrants [are] taking houses that ought, by right, go to American citizens.’
But Trump’s mass deportation scheme actually works against the goal of making housing more affordable—because immigrants are a huge source of labor in the construction industry."
