When he campaigned for election, Donald Trump did his best to paint a dark image of a country suffering an invasion at the hands of millions of foreign criminals and terrorists. He did what he does best - he pandered to our darker natures. It is one thing to say that an immigrant with a serious criminal record should be deported. Most of us would agree. But Trump went further, dehumanizing our immigrants, even those here legally, as pet-eating "animals". Now that he's President, Trump has gone after our immigrant population with the same gusto that Hitler displayed in going after Jews. Hitler used brown-shirted SA (Sturmabteilung) thugs while Trump has designated mask-wearing ICE agents. As of last week, ICE had 66,000 people in detention camps, the most it has ever held in a single week. But how many of these detainees are actually pet-eating cartel members? According to CATO, which is no left-leaning think tank, about 7% of detainees are violent criminals. 65% had no convictions. Over 90% had no serious criminal convictions. In fact, as of October 16, ProPublica reports that at least 170 US citizens have been detained.
While a majority of American voters certainly supported a crackdown on illegal immigration and the deportation of illegal violent criminals, I doubt they expected the tactics being used by ICE to target just about anyone who looks a little different. And now it has happened in my own family.
A member of my family is currently dabbling in real estate. He buys small properties in Philly and then rehabs them and wither rents them out or sells them. He found a fellow named Eduardo to do most of the remodeling work for him. Eduardo spends a lot of his time going to local Home Depots and other hardware stores to get the materials he needs. Apparently, ICE is focusing on Home Depots and construction sites to conduct its sweeps because Eduardo was stopped after visiting one last week.
He is a lawful permanent resident with no criminal record. He is just a hard worker. He was asked to produce his papers, which he does not carry on his person. He explained he could get them, but ICE just detained him.
That was on Monday of last week.
In the meantime, the real estate tycoon in my family had texted Eduardo about the cabinets and flooring on one of his projects.
Fortunately, ICE did allow Eduardo to contact his wife. She got him a lawyer, and he was released from detention on Friday.
He returned to work that day.
Now I know many of you voted for Trump. But I doubt you expected this overkill which, like it or not, is eerily similar to the tactics used by Hitler.
I am not calling him Hitler, but I am making very clear that we are on a dangerous path. I suspect this ICE over-reach, which goes far beyond what we expect of our country, played a part in last week's Democratic victory. It's not that Democrats are being embraced so much as a rejection of Trump's excesses.
If you want to expand on some of the overreach that you're referring to and the ordeal that is being visited on people who have no criminal record, read the latest in depth report in The Atlantic...https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2025/11/mass-deportation-immigration/684871/

I expect anyone in this country illegally to be pursued and removed by the government. I don’t care what any of them look like, or if they’re black, white or brown.
ReplyDeleteI also expect anyone in this country on any type of visa or work permit to have that information with them and able to produce it when asked by government authorities, just like I must produce my drivers license when pulled over while driving.
Enforcing the law doesn’t have to be difficult, and all you’re trying to do is make excuses for the laws (and lawbreakers) you feel should be ignored.
If you don’t like the immigration laws, change them. I will note that despite the White House and Congress flipping parties several times over the last few decades, neither party has changed the laws. That should tell you all you need to know about how serious some of those complaining about those laws are about actually changing them.
Wow! where's your swastika armband? Under your view, you better start carrying proof of citizenship with you. And I am not talking about laws that can be changed. I am talking about basic constitutional rights, which do apply to legal permanent residents and US citizens. You seem to want to change them.
DeleteWay to go right to the “Nazi” slur. It shows the emptiness of your post.
DeleteAll I want is the current laws to be enforced. That seems to be a problem for many on the Left, like you.
If you wanted current law to be enforced, you would be outraged by federal officers who ignore our most basic law, i.e. our constitution. But you are not bc you really are showing your true Nazi colors.
DeleteExplain to us how 20 million people entering our country illegally have constitutional rights. What about citizens constitutional rights to live without fear of criminals threatening our life, liberty and freedoms? Thank God for ICE keeping us safe. If you use the argument about who is going to pick our crops, mow our lawns, doing home repairs, etc., you’re advocating slavery. Getting paid under the table is not returning anything to our economy. Illegals are sucking our taxpayer money with the blessings of the Democrats.
DeleteI said nothing about people who came to this country illegally. My argument is that ICE has no business going after and detaining people who are here legally. And if you really think we all need to carry papers, then it is you who should be deported bc you're no real American.
Delete"If you don't like immigration laws change them!" This is great advise and I would ask why Republicans, who never stop fear mongering on this issue, have never taken legislative action on it. Biden tried twice to overhaul the immigration system. They actually had a deal worked out in 2023, ,but Trump told the Republicans to nix it and they immediately complied. Constantly complaining about something but never taking action on it isn't leadership. At best it's whining, at worst it's political manipulation.
Delete12:59 -- Remember that under Biden in February 2024, we had a comprehensive immigration bill that Republican Senator Lankford authored with bipartisan input. It would have hired more judges, strengthened border security, etc. What happened to it? Oh I remember, Trump sunk it so he could retain it as a political issue and set ICE loose to throw tear gas in our cities. It wasn't so long ago...

You liberal people are bad for our country Referring to Trump as a Hitler type person is bad and will lead to more violence.
ReplyDeleteI did not refer to Trump as Hitler but do say that his ICE agents are eerily similar to the SA thugs that Hitler used to go after Jews. I don't think Trump believes half of what he says. He is quite transactional.
DeleteImagine being so intellectually incurious that your brain immediately that your brain shuts down the second someone refers to a politician as Hitler.
Delete3:22, when Trump says he thinks Democrats are evil and "enemies from within", that's not normal. We've never had a president like that. Trump is the one using rhetoric of violence. Bernie is right.
DeleteWhile it may look like ICE is running amok, each mission targets known criminals who are here illegally. Citizens and legal immigrants mostly carry ID.
Delete3:22am: Lighten up Francis. (If you've seen the movie Stripes, you'll get the reference).
DeleteBtw, Trump is a racist, fascist Nazi.
So you are saying that if they are here without a criminal past they should stay. Everyone agrees, even you, that the criminal element should be the first priority, but were should the line be drawn. If democrats disagree about the reach, then they should propose legislation to draw the line that they desire.
ReplyDeleteFat chance, they will not offer a line, but just criticize Trump and Ice. While much of this has to do with Biden's open "open door policy" and now we have the reaction.
Again I see no solution, just "too far", very similar to the standards for crime in the cities, only prosecute crime over $1000, and let the rest take what they want.
The reality is that if they if are here illegally they do not have a right to stay, that is the law. If the democrats want a different standard, then stand up and demand something else, they will not.
I suspect the issue is far more about allowing the California model of immigration and illegal voting to spread to the rest of the nation, the democrat plan for permanent one party rule.
"So you are saying that if they are here without a criminal past they should stay. Everyone agrees, even you, that the criminal element should be the first priority, but were should the line be drawn."
DeleteRay do you understand that it is wrong to arrest and detain someone who is here legally? That's where I draw the line. So does the constitution. Remember that?
agree and if you are here legally under the current circumstances--carry your papers to prove it and ice won't arrest you.
DeleteShow us ze papers! Police state anyone?
DeleteIt's important to share these stories. I have relatives who are green card holders. They have been living in the Lehigh Valley after migrating "the right way" decades ago and have had no run-ins with the law. After seeing ICE in their neighborhood, they are afraid to leave their home. MAGA relatives on the other side of my family are stunned.
ReplyDeleteI would be stunned, and happy, to know that ICE is active in the Lehigh Valley. There is much work to be done in Allentown and Bethlehem.
DeleteThose who are here legally, and who are following our laws, have nothing to fear.
If I was a green card holder and was even the smallest bit aware of what the Biden administration had done to jeopardize my freedom from search and seizure, you can damn well bet that green card would be permanently attached to my person and on display the so-called jack-booted thugs...

DeleteI want them gone.Obama deported a lot more invaders and Trump and ICE need to step up their game. If you entered illegally, you are a criminal. We're not heartless. Don't jump the line. America hates line jumpers.
ReplyDeleteDid you even read this story? It is about someone who is already here legally. Someone who did stand in line. It sounds to me like your hatred (not America's) is a little deeper than disdain for line breakers.

Unbelievable but, in review, not uncommon these days from folks who think as you do. Thank you military, ICE, police etc. and President Trump for having the guts to do this for the US and it’s citizens.

DeleteLaw enforcement agencies detain POSSIBLE violators thousands of time per day all across America. Some are even taken to the local headquarters building to give everyone time to correctly clear/not clear the individual of the suspected violation. This is NOT AT ALL unusual in America. It involves all levels of suspected infraction. This IS Due Process in action!
ReplyDeleteImmigration officials ARE properly identified on their person. That could be through wearing clearly marked uniforms, jackets, and badges.
Unfortunately, Immigration officials have recently been FORCED to cover their faces. Protesters against what they do have become so brazen the officers are routinely spat upon, maced, and attacked through the air with all manner of irritants. Officers have had their home and family addresses revealed to the public possibly making them vulnerable to private, individual attacks when off-duty.
Thanks to DEMOCRAT malfeasance in office, this degree of law enforcement is desperately needed in an effort to save this nation from an ongoing government takeover. Yes, that's what's really going on here. Admit it!
This Independent voter agrees your attempt to shade this situation under the discolor of a foreign government leader's behavior about 80 years ago is shameful on your part. Almost as egregious as you writing history has shown beheadings are possible to follow.
You are clearly fear mongering as part of continual, unfounded Democrat attacks upon the Trump Administration. Wearing fake blood could be helpful to your cause.
8:09 -- No. You are utterly incorrect... so foolishly erroneous as to be ridiculed here publicly, but I'll try not to let it get the best of my better angels. The 4th amendment prohibits what you are describing. The Supreme Court and Justice Kavanaugh have called this all into question, which is a huge huge deal (which we should all be absolutely furious about), but up until this year, cops have not been allowed to arrest someone and then determine if they have done something wrong; they need a warrant to pick someone up unless they are seen to have committed a crime. Take a fucking chill pill, skip that 8th cup of coffee of the day, and read up on your constitutional rights.
DeleteFourth Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

DeleteWow, I know that the cult following Fox news parrots have a hard time understanding this but Bernie's point is simple. Take out the new "N-word", ICE can NOT simply stand outside of a store and ask for your papers just because you look "illegal". It has nothing to do with carrying your papers or here illegally vs legally, in AMERICA you can not simply ask for "papers" to prove citizenship. Drivers licenses are a completely different thing. You do not have a constitutional right to drive. It is the same as innocent until proven guilty. Just like prosecuting you for a crime, the government CAN deport you if you are here illegally, but the constitution GUARANTEES everyone's protection from unreasonable search & seizure. What is next, I'll have to stop at a checkpoint at all state borders and show documentation to travel state to state? Do you not see how this is a slippery slope?
ReplyDeleteLook at whatveuroean nations etc are asking for whrn you travel there
DeleteHe has gone overboard. But the maga cult doesn't care. They want an airport and a football stadium named after him. That's their priority.
ReplyDeleteOur current president hasn’t deported as many people as former president Obama did
DeleteUnder Obama, who was sometimes called the Deporter in Chief, there were 3.1 million deportations. That beats Trump, and by quite a bit. And he, like Trump, was a bit reckless when it came to due process. But unlike Trump, he actually did focus on the removal of criminals and recent crossings. Trump's ICE goes after people who've been here for decades and are productive members of society.
DeleteBy the way, Obama's record dispels the false claim that Dems encouraged illegal immigration to increase the number of Democratic voters.

ReplyDelete“I’m not saying they are the same, I am saying they are eerily similar….” Is basically saying they are the same.
ReplyDeleteI thought I’d respond to this blog, but by this time there isn’t anything I can add that hasn’t already been written. Except- Trump can have a stadium named after him. All he has to do is pay for the naming rights. He could have had lots of things named for himself. He just has to donate to do it. He never has and I don’t he ever would. Now a “Donald Trump Wing” of a hospital seems like a contradiction in terms.

ReplyDeleteLOL! The 4th Amendment protects everybody in this country from being DETAINED (as well as arrested) without a warrant. You have inalienable rights. Remember stop-and-frisk in NYC? If a cop stops you on the street to ask you a question, you are within your rights to totally ignore them. They are public servants. These ICE/DHS people committing violence and taking anybody off the street are subject to prosecution (and they know it, or they wouldn't be wearing masks). Trump may pardon some of these thugs, but they will still be subject to state prosecution. Many will go to jail or be fined into destitution. Is that clear enough?

DeleteA classmate of our child comes from a family of Vietnamese immigrants. They have been here entirely lawfully since the 1970s. Great people. She told me that her employer has recommended that she (and all immigrants that they employ) start "carrying their papers" when she comes to work. These are as law-abiding folks as you can imagine and are the fabric of our community. The burden of proof has shifted to them. The qoutas that ICE has put on their agents to detain people has caused them to shift the burden of proof and grab harmless people off the streets. I agree with every word of this post and thank you for writing it.
ReplyDeleteLol, If I were ICE, I'd stay far away from the Vietnamese. They are law-abiding but defy the stereotypes we westerners have about Asians. Attitudinally (is that a word?), I consider them the Americans of Asia. Pound for pound, they are the toughest people on this planet. Ask our military. Ask the French. Ask China. Ask the Japanese. Ask the Mongols. If Zelenskyy wants to win in Ukraine, he should send a world-wide appeal for Vietnamese.
DeleteICE has not gone far enough you liberals suck you people are trying to destroy the country
ReplyDeleteWhy was Eduardo assumed to be an illegal by ICE to begin with? Did he just look like one? We're they trying to reach a quota? Why would he be expected to carry papers when others don't? Who will compensate him for his lost earnings, the price of a lawyer, the anxiety, fear, and worry experienced by him and his family? How can it be legal to detain someone by looks alone? Sad.
ReplyDelete12:12, Of course, this is a question that ICE needs to answer. I believe he was profiled bc he is Latino and was at a construction store like Home Depot, picking up supplies. Made him an easy target and the ICE cowboys, who were cowboys BEFORE Trump and as long as I can remember, probably figured that the odds were 50/50. And if he was here legally, who cares? He's unlikely to complain.
DeleteWhen Eduardo became a Permanant Resident he agreed that he MUST carry his green card with him at all times - He is not a U.S. citizen who does not need to carry ID. If he does not wish to follow our laws (therefore a law breaker) than he is subject to being held until proof of legal residency .
ReplyDeleteI apologize to a reader who commented that legal permanent residents are required to carry their green cards at all times. I accidentally deleted you instead of publishing your comment, but you are correct. That is the law. But let's be reasonable here. It is only in April that the Trump administration issued regulations imposing penalties. Frankly, if you are a construction worker it is a bit onerous to insist that you have your original green card on your person at all times. And you can't just approach people and ask them for their "papers" without some basis for doing so. But that is exactly what ICE appears to be doing.
ReplyDeleteGood job Bernie. Once again you have helped the MAGA people gain the satisfaction of their mental deficiencies. You actually help these people maintain their bigotry.
ReplyDeleteNo rational person anywhere takes the Atlantic seriously.
ReplyDeleteDid you read the story? What's inaccurate?
DeleteI'll add, while I think Fox News's economic and election day folks are typically on the ball, I hate their editorial decision-making and slant in politics and national news. For example, 20,000 Epstein Files were released today? Did you see that? If you watch Fox News you'd never know that Fat Tired Donald and Larry Summers and Steve Bannon and others are in those files, because Fox is still bitching and moaning about DEI today. Crazy.
Allowing so many in during such a short period overwhelmed or systems. The root cause is 20 million being allowed to flood the process. We're not a mean country. We're being taken advantage of. It's ruined the pride we used to have in being a nation of immigrants. I don't blame those who are trying to bring sanity back. I blame those who went too far and caused this. The chaos was purposeful.
ReplyDeleteAs a naturalized citizen I have never carried my papers with me for over fifty years since becoming a US citizen. I only carry my passport when travleing to other couuntries. I thought that we have a Consitution that protects us all, that no random ID checks are included in it. Protecting individual liberty and not requiring people to always carry ID is what distingished the US from most other countries.
ReplyDeleteAll countries have Immigration laws and the right and obligation to enforce them. Rounding up Jewish people and other ethnic minorities to force them into Ghettos and Concentration Death camps in no way compares to enforcing Immigration Laws even if the methods of carrying out those goals are similar in some aspects. Ignorance is calling those you disagree with vial names because you have no substance to counter the other side’s position!
ReplyDeleteActually, the tactics used by the SA and ICE are the same. First, they are both rounding up a group of people (Jews, immigrants) who have been dehumanized as animals or subhuman. Second, they both have stepped all over basic human rights and in ICE's case, constitutional rights.
DeleteI am pointing this out bc I hope it makes some of you aware that, even if you support strict enforcement of immigration laws, ICE has gone too far. If you thought the round ups are aimed at criminals, this is to let you know that ICE is going beyond what you thought.
If a supporter of Dump didn't expect that he is doing, well, that fits. I doubt many in that category care. He's an idiot, who only cares about his name being in the media. Prime example is his latest idiotic proposal that there be 50-year mortgages, and this will somehow make houses more affordable. One of his lackeys came up with this, and of course he immediately tells reporters. He never thinks about anything. It probably Stephen Goebbels Miller's idea to blow up boats, for the media attention. And having ICE haul away people.
