“Bad ones are going out as I speak”. Trump addressing Congress February 28.
Among the people deported by the Trump/Pence regime this week: Jose Escobar, a 31-year-old father of two with no criminal record. Escobar was arrested in Houston and sent to El Salvador, where he has not lived since he was 15. Daniela Vargas, 22, of Jackson, Mississippi, arrested after she spoke at a press conference and called for a “path to citizenship” for undocumented immigrants. She had been in the U.S. since she was 7. 48-year-old Romulo Avelica-Gonzalez, arrested the day Trump gave his speech, as he drove his daughter to school in Los Angeles. Avelica-Gonzalez had been in the U.S. 25 years.
Eleven million people have been declared criminals by Trump. They are being told to turn themselves in or wait to be snared. Even when they spend years doing what they are told, appearing before every hearing, filing every paper, paying every fee – any minor bureaucratic snag can lead to sudden arrest and deportation. The very randomness of the attacks is intended to strike terror into the lives of millions. The arrests and deportations must stop! Refuse to accept a fascist America!
