The mass deportation scheme is probably the most immediately scary part of Trump 2025. It’s not just the just the forcible deportation of millions of people and accompanying family disruption That’s bad enough. Nor is the let’s-see-what-pulling-this-lever-does-hurr economic recklessness./1

Full quote from ex-ICE director Tom Homan: "Trump comes back in January... I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.” Tonight in Florida Trump pledged to bring Homan back. Homan, BTW, is a listed Project 2025 contributor.

ICE May Have Deported as Many as 70 US Citizens In the Last Five Yearsbit.ly U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) keeps making an inexcusable error: it has been deporting U.S. citizens by mistake.

When I was a rookie prosecutor processing low-level arrestees I noted that most Hispanics had a rap sheet with a dozen aliases. It took me a while to figure out that the system thought paternal and maternal surnames were aliases so would spit out every combination of all the names as aliases.

When I was a volunteer in DV court, trying to get them to get the names right came up with almost every Latina client. Like she’d be trying to find out when her abuser was getting out of jail and there would be “no record” because they had the name wrong.

Of course it fucking did. And that social security uses a first name last name format instead of name 1,2,3 causes a lot of rejection problems too. These are not hard to fix, if fixing is wanted.

names are really hard to get right in a system -- and maybe never have been -- but that doesn't mean it's not worth getting them right www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/f...

Yet my ex-husband is still here

This is why they will avoid keeping records, or making them available for scrutiny if they do.

It's a bad sign that my initial reaction was "Is that all?"

“Yeah but they were brown people, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “
