Summary

Since Donald Trump’s return to office, ICE and DEA agents have intensified immigration enforcement, conducting door-to-door sweeps in Colorado.

Initially targeting suspected criminals, recent operations now question all residents, regardless of warrants. A Denver apartment complex saw widespread searches, sparking protests and fear among undocumented families.

Activists and attorneys are mobilizing to inform residents of their rights. Schools report growing student anxiety.

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, confirmed a broad crackdown, declaring, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table.”

    I’m…speechless and all out of snark on this one. This is fucking horrifying.

    Single-issue voters who threw their vote away or sat out and did not help stop this, well, hope you’re happy with your choices.

        Unfortunately, they are still in “deny genocide is happening” mode.

        Although a handful of them have taken a “America deserves genocide” tack instead.

        Pffffft, yeah right. They’ll “take action” inasmuch as it saves them a trip to the voting station two blocks away. I’m praying that the people who did that will prove me wrong, but I’m not holding my breath.

          This is me every time I see the “take action” bullshit. I’m not trusting my back to a bunch of people who couldn’t be faffed to wait in line on an inconvenient day.

      I hope you get used to this feeling. Cuz it’s going to keep happening. It’s so fucking clear that the Democrats are not learning a single thing from this utter defeat they suffered. And the many defeats they’ve suffered the last decade and a half.

        Democrats voted. It’s independent leftists that didn’t vote. And encouraged others to not vote or vote third party. Hope you’re happy with yourselves. This is what we get because you ragged on Democrats the entire election season. Gtfoh.

          Most of the leftists I see on Lemmy and know personally begrudgingly voted for Kamala. The people on here saying genocide Joe constantly were plants.

          The fact is, at least 2 million democrats who voted in the previous election did not vote this time. Leftists are an incredibly small portion of the population unfortunately.
