Summary
Stephen Miller’s legal group, America First Legal Foundation, sent letters warning officials in sanctuary jurisdictions of potential “serious consequences,” including civil racketeering charges and prison time, for defying federal immigration laws.
The letters target 249 officials in areas restricting cooperation with ICE, such as San Diego County.
While courts have previously rejected similar anti-sanctuary efforts, the move signals aggressive immigration enforcement plans under Trump’s incoming administration.
Critics argue the threats highlight a broader strategy to intimidate and enforce mass deportation policies.
Hey, anyone who was pushing people to not vote for Harris before the election want to weigh in? Still confident in your decision?
I voted for the Dems in 2024. And honestly, I wish I hadn’t. I was disgusted by their stance on Palestine, but I figured at least they would support trans people against conservative extermination efforts.
For my vote and vocal support, how did Dems reward me? Democrats rewarded me by voting for the first anti-LGBT federal law in 30 years, willingly sentencing several hundred trans children to death for cheap political points. All Republicans had to do was attach their persecution bill to a “must pass” defense spending bill, and Democrats folded like a house of cards. And they also refused to stand to defend the first trans person elected to the House. I have no doubt that this pattern will continue. To laws that must pass to fund the government, Republicans will just attach one rider after another that strips my civil rights away one at a time. And Democrats will tit tit and say, “well, I really wish we could prevent Republicans from murdering innocent people, but this bill simply has to pass, so our hands are tied.”
Even AOC, who was one of the few people to say anything in defense of the new trans representative, didn’t have the courage to actually stand up for trans people directly. She said bathrooms bans were bad because cis women might get caught up in them. And they demonstrated this complete surrender to fascism before Trump even came into office.
In the end, I did not get the satisfaction of a clean conscience. I held my nose and voted for a pro-genocide party, because I hoped they would at least stand up for my rights. But I didn’t get even that. Instead I got a party that is perfectly willing to throw people like me to the wolves, as long as Republicans give them a fig leaf excuse to use. Honestly, I wish I hadn’t voted for Kamala. Democrats aren’t going to stand up for my rights, and I still have the guilt of voting pro-genocide on my conscience.
I suppose it should have been pretty obvious. Dems were willing to throw one minority group to the wolves for political expediency, why wouldn’t they do it to another?
Yeah we’re all disappointed with the Democratic party… But I think you’re in for a rude awakening because there is a very big difference between being indifferent towards trans people, and actively wanting to eradicate them.
Nobody is going to “eradicate” anyone, just stop. That’s a scare tactic by the Left that’s been going on forever.
I’m sure many Jewish people felt the same way in 1940s Germany.
Oh brother… if you care about the Jews so much, than you’d be 100% in favor of the US and their support for Israel.
