Stephen Miller’s ancestors were Jewish refugees from the pogroms in czarist Russia. They came to the U.S. in the early twentieth century, even as racists said this same stuff about them.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

There’s not one decent, humane, American value in that entire “Thanksgiving” message. Just hatred, lies, and a complete misunderstanding and misstatement of what the USA is supposed to be.

That’s fucking illegal—if anyone is still holding people accountable under the rule of law.
Riddle me this, how in the fuck is this making our communities any safer? This ICE agent sprays this disabled woman directly in the face in St Paul, Minnesota with pepper spray and then throws her to the ground. I hope she sues the hell out of ICE for this‼️#Abolish 🧊🧊🧊

Of course this is this Admin’s reaction. It was never going to be any other way.
Why carefully consider individual motivation and act accordingly? And everything is Biden’s fault.

So now they’re going to be doing individualized re-review of tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees’ cases on TOP of the re-review of 200,000+ refugees who entered under Biden?

For non-lawyers: this is the largest sanction against an attorney for frivolous conduct that I've ever heard of*. When attorneys are sanctioned $10-$20k is a big deal. This is a MASSIVE deal.

National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)
And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.
This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns

-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support

Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

“All five judges fired from San Francisco on Friday had relatively high rates of granting asylum cases, although San Francisco immigration judges as a whole have far higher rates of granting asylum compared to others nationwide.”
5 immigration judges were summarily fired in San Francisco today, the largest such firing in the city all year.
It continues a trend of the Trump admin. targeting immigration judges nationwide. In San Francisco, at least 12 have been sacked this year.
