Reminds me of the historical Fugitive Slave Act/s sanctioned by Congress, where Free People of Color/Indigenous/African Americans slaves were kidnapped/stolen... and sold down the river! Racial Profiling, indeed!

SCOTUS is the enemy of the people. SCOTUS rules in favor of white supremacy and ethnic cleansing. Six federalist society members on the White Supremacist Court are AntiAmerican antiDemocratic terrorists.
Amadi Lovelace (@amaditalks.bsky.social) reposted
Given the Supreme Court ruling I think it's even more important that we refer to what is happening in Los Angeles and elsewhere with ICE as ethnic cleansing. The US government is engaged in a violent campaign of ethnic cleansing that has already cost at least two lives.

“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it. Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day. They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.

Will farmers who lose their farms wake up and leave the cult? Trump is clearing out immigrants temporarily, to bankrupt farmers so billionaires can buy up the farmland cheap. They’ll hire all the immigrants back once they wipe out all the dumb fuck republican voters. Watch. 🍿

Don’t forget one Judith Negron, who orchestrated what was then the biggest Medicare fraud case in US history ($202 million). She was sentenced to 35 years, but was released by Trump after serving only eight years.

We could always look at why Trump pardoned these people (Philip Esformes, Judith Negron, Lawrence Duran, Salomon Melgen, Rickey Kanter, Daniela Gozes‑Wagner, John Estin Davis) who bilked millions from Medicare and don’t have to pay it back! I’m betting there is stinky sharpie marker smell on those!
GeekyGenie (@geekgenie025.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
That’s right. In fact, he pardoned or commuted other Medicare or Medicaid fraudsters. Here’s a list. Phillip Esformes: $1.3 B Salomon Melgen: $42 M Lawrence Duran: $205 M Judith Negron: $205 M Daniela Gozes-Wagner: $28 M John Estin Davis: $4.6 M Todd Farha + 4 WellCare execs: $ unknown

Duran is the second defendant in the case to be spared by Trump. In 2020 in his first term, Trump commuted the 35-year sentence of Judith Negron. A jury convicted her on 24 counts of conspiracy, fraud, paying kickbacks and money laundering in collaboration with Duran and Valera in August 2011.
