I understand that they’ve got a job to do, immigration, but I just feel like he was specifically targeted because of what’s going on where he’s from, his home country,
Isn't that true for most of the immigrants

BREAKING NEWS! This Just In!
"Republicans are shocked at any one at any time being detained indefinitely after intentionally empowering and assembling a large militant force who operates purely extrajudicially without due process. We've got Tom live on the scene to ask one of them about this development, Tom?"
"Tell the camera what you just told me a moment ago, please."
"Well I don't think that's what due process means, they still go to see an immigration court, don't they?"
"No."
"Well, they should."
"Maybe you should vote for somebody who makes that happen."
"Like Donald Trump?"
"Wrong again."
I am in constant awe of how these people are incapable of pointing the finger towards the issue here.
I am aware that maga is a cult, but we have reached the point where Trump and the Republicans are openly, brazenly committing acts that their own supporters disagree with. How much more obvious does the situation need to become before people start placing the blame where it belongs?
Just as bad, a lot of people on both sides are pointing the finger at Democrats.
It won't be obvious ever to these people, because their reality is only what they and their associates see in FOX News. That they don't get concerned by what is happening is because they never hear or see what is happening.

It's pretty easy to get blindsided by things when you've got your head up your own arse.
And she's voting Republican again!

It amazes me that these articles keep appearing and the Democrats are unable to leverage this into votes. Writing these people as stupid is useless. We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.
Democrats are unable to leverage this into votes
Not for lack of trying. Harris made repeated trips down to the boarder to play "Tough On Crime" dress-up for the conservatives. She even did the famous Do Not Come speech, aimed at Guatemalan migrants fleeing their own domestic (US sponsored) ethnic cleansing.
You'd think folks obsessed with "border security" would love Democrats, given how regularly they advance bills to harden and militarize the border. Unless of course... this isn't about "security" at all. It is about white supremacy and the consolidation of power within a single ethno-nationalist party.
In that case, why on earth would white nationalists side with a party full of non-white people? Why do Democrats spend so much time and money and man-hours attempting to court their vote, while spending even more time and money and man-hours alienating the votes of people of color and left-liberal migrant families?
We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.

You cannot leverage this into votes. You regularly read "Trump killed my business/sent my spouse to Neverland/whatever, but I will vote for him again!". Those people can't be helped.

the establishment in the Democratic party isn't interested in winning.
They want to win. They just don't want to have to change to do so.
My only joy in these times of the orange shit stain, is these magats getting pounded.
It might be petty and small of me, but I don't give a shit.
You vote for Trump once... I can kind of excuse it as stupid... You vote for him twice and you're just an evil fucker and I have zero sympathy left.
Some of them voted for him 3 times even, wild! My father and brother are in this category. I do not speak to them. I'm gay and my daughter is trans and they voted for that asswipe three times!

She was blind and now she can see. I'm sure she still isn't seeing the whole picture.
The good old “he’s not hurting the right people”
Absolutely zero empathy …. 🫂

"Stupid is as stupid does". The failure of the US education system and rising social media bias are having a Darwinian effect
this is like burning women at the stake and laughing that some spectators got hit by a hot ember. saying that he deserves it.
they punishment that they deserve is nothing in comparison to what they get.
and the pain they are recieving is inconsequential compared to the one they are causing
Nobody here is glad these things are happening. They tried very hard to stop it and got a collective "fuck you" from the rest of the country. All of them would rather Trump be stripped of his power than have a MAGA deported, but seeing as that's not going to happen...
I think in history there has never been a quicker demonstration of "if you support fascists they will eventually come for you too". Dude has been in the office for couple months and is already rounding up his supporters lol
A couple of months? I reflexively thought No, it must be a couple years already.
Damn, those were long months.
Good ol' Donnie fixing the US by kicking people like this mother fucker out.
I have no sympathy left for people voting for their own pain.
“Everyone feels like a fool and regrets the decision. I personally didn’t vote in the last election, and neither did my parents. At this point, I believe there are bad people on the left and the right,” Gardner said.
Jesus fucking Christ still a fucking centrist shitting on the "left" even as the State kidnapped your fucking husband.
Despite this, Free Ribvar Karimi and free all people kidnapped by ICE. He sucks but he doesn't deserve this—because no one deserves this!
Americans are the most brainwashed people on the planet. The right wing state can literally disappear your family and you still shit talk the left.

My eyes almost rolled all the way out of my head reading this article. The dude is from IRAN, and this blindsided them.
To be clear, it sounds like this dude is a loving family man and member of the community, and he did not deserve this. And even if he was a scumbag, we don't use secret police to deal with scumbags.
But sometimes it hurts to have the depth of some people's oblivious ignorance revealed so starkly. Some other comments have already pointed out the stupid "golly I think there might be bad people on the left AND the right!" conclusion at the end of the article. But here's another gem from in the middle:
“My husband himself, even being from Iran, supported Trump, his immigration policies, and understood he was trying to protect the American people and was praying he helped free the Iranian people,” Gardner told Newsweek.
These people look at an elderly hateful narcissist of a grifter and parasite, and hear his messages of hate and division and exclusion, and apparently the image formed in their dusty brains is Captain Fucking Planet!
To be clear, it sounds like this dude is a loving family man and member of the community,
That is how the other narcissistic morons always describes one of their own. During covid there were so many obituaries about these "loving family people" who had died from being unvaccinated, and when you checked their social media history it consisted of nothing but heinous hateful memes.
Yeah, no disagreement there.
I’m so extremely puzzled by it. I cannot fathom what it is that’s so alluring about Donald Trump. The guy is a total asswipe.

Easiest breakup ever. Masterfully done! /s
Gardner is seven months pregnant, but remains hopeful that her husband will be with her when she gives birth.
“My heart is broken,” Gardner told the outlet. “Our baby shower is going to be next weekend, and he’s not going to be at home to go to that with me.”
He’s missing the baby shower?? You should tell ICE, maybe they’ll release him.

I thought the threat was Iranian nuclear ICBMs, which they don't have. Looks like the threat is inside the room.
