Summary

The Trump administration plans to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s war, fast-tracking them for deportation.

The move is part of a broader effort to strip protections from 1.8 million migrants admitted under Biden’s humanitarian parole programs.

Trump’s policies also target 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Legal challenges are mounting, as affected individuals face uncertain futures. Advocates warn that even U.S. allies, such as Afghans who assisted the military, are now at risk of detention and deportation.

Sometimes I feel like I was the only one who remembered that this is what it was like the last time he was in office. Just every day some fresh hell, like a treadmill of anger and grief until the only real reason to protest is so that they don't drive you permanently numb.

The scope of this new order is hard to contemplate. 0.77 million people who are being shown the door today. Our colossus is in need of a new credo.

“Give me your billionaires, your oligarchs, Your hunched war criminals yearning for the Lolita Express, The wretched refuse of your banking sectors. Send these, the landlords, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden arches!"

Edit to add: I know that it is currently only a plan. I do not need to bicker with anyone about this.

Im not American so I probably didn't see a lot of this but my lasting impression was a lot of blustering and shit slinging but no real action or substance. Like everything he tried or promised either didn't get done or was half arsed. Basically i saw it as incompetence and damage through inaction rather than the malicious active damage he is doing now.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 62 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

You are partially right. For US Presidents, implementing policy is much harder than declaring it, something IIRC Bush and Obama echoed.

But on top of that, Trump had a lot of guardrails in the first term, a lot of old school Republicans and “regular” cabinet that watered down whatever ideas he had.

That is no longer the case. It's only loyalists egging each other on now. And there’s already a lot more bite, it’s just so much that it’s hard to process.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Yeah, his first time around there were people who kept his worst ideas from being realized and drove away the worst of his associates. This time around those people are gone and he is surrounded by those associates and even worse people like Musk.

Yeah his first term was mind-melting, nonstop nonsense. Same again now but even worse. I can’t believe people are so easily capable of forgetting.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

What really pisses me off is all the newspapers that have acted like he wasn't president for four years. As if there isn't already examples of how the guy acts.

[–] Tiger@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

Constant sane washing, I think it’s like human nature for people to try and help and improve other peoples faults, even subconsciously, and they help him along in small ways and we all suffer for it. He’s just evil and terrible. Say it, all media. He’s evil and terrible, it’s a fact.

I feel like it's worse this time. Darker. We didn't have the Ukraine or Israeli war. We didn't have perverse AI videos like the Gaza video with a giant golden Trump statue.

2016 was the rise of Trump. Right now we are in the age of Trump. Trump is steadily increasing his power and I believe fairly soon he will be able to more or less unilaterally control the federal government as he continues his purges.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 months ago

It's far, far worse this time.

Last go around sure, there would be a fucked up tweet almost every day, but much fewer actual changes. Yeah Trump did some fucked up shit over those 4 years, but he's done more fucked up shit in the last month than in that whole term.

I remember hearing Trump's foreign policy described as "isolationist."

He's not an isolationist.

He's on Russia's side.

I would prefer if he were an isolationist.

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

This, and I would go further. There is no such thing as right and left for russian puppets. Their "ideology" is whatever is needed for their particular populace and the only thing aligning them around the world is the trail of money.

So at this point it's not even illegals but those that have gone through the effort to obtain status. What the actual fuck.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 88 points 3 months ago (2 children)

This traitor is destroying all our allegiances. In a single month.

It's time for America to accept that we have placed a literal traitor in the highest office.

And it's time for us to man the fuck up and start adhering to our fucking Constitution. We're letting a felon rapist traitor fuck our future.

[–] s0upybl00per@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (9 children)

Who’s going to do it? All I see is a bunch of internet talk. There’s no leadership. Just a bunch of ppl scared and posting online or emailing/calling senators. We especially need straight white men standing up. The dem paddle holding was just pathetic.

The ICE fucks who are ordered to arrest Ukrainians here fleeing wartime (children, mothers, elderly) better fucking resign and/or blatantly refuse this shit. If not, these traitors should be executed right along with trump and vance.

I’m a Latino and I’ve always seen ice as the Gestapo of your country, I’m glad everyone else is seeing it. Ice has been a hellhole where the most evil and destructive humans end up working from its beginning.

This is evil. The US needs an armed resistance at this point having said that there is no organization, there is no structure or any groups that I know of to join. Individuals acting on their own won't do much, who are people supposed to go after? Where do you find them, how do you achieve the goal? These questions are much more easily answered with an organized resistance. If my country is going to go down this route we have to have this in place first. Until this happens I wouldn't expect much from the people in the US who want to go this route because they want to be able to make a meaningful impact not just become mass shooters hopefully taking down the right people.

Imagine there are still people who chose to go to USA voluntarily?

Will Americans really still just look on and do nothing while the Trump administration is tearing the country apart?

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago (7 children)

There are a lot of protests going on right now - the news isn't covering it.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

I think the legal, standing around with signs protest is going to have to have its toothier cousin (the violent riot) starting up again alongside it if we want anything to change. They already painted the 2020 protests as "burning the cities down" despite them being >90% peaceful. We might as well -- to reference Kendrick Lamar's lyrics -- fuck being rational and give em what they asked for.

Not sure how Republicans are able to rationalize how expelling these specific individuals makes America any better or fixes literally any of it's problems.

This is just petty retaliation.

It's fascism by ethnic cleansing. Expect a looooooot more. The pedo wants a 3rd world war and it will happen. He's starting by Canada because he thinks it's an easy target, but also because it's the perfect battleground to display his army's power. Unfortunately, americans are too lazy and under-educated to do anything about it so expect a lot of blood and a lot of fat-ass patriotism because "war time". But in the end, only the rich assholes will be protected because capitalism gave them the control on everything, think gafam. Good job USA, you ruined the world, fuck you.

What's his fucking issue with Ukrainians? Is it all about the time when Zelenski didn't help him produce dirt on Hunter Biden? There is around a million of Ukrainians in Poland right now and crime related incidents involving them are rare. They are a net benefit to society. A million more tax payers. Unfortunately due to incompatibility of their education system and slight language barrier they do jobs below their education level but their contribution is undisputable. Quick influx of them hastened problems with housing affordability in largest cities but it's not their fault that the government has no strategy to combat high housing prices, without them the situation would still arise but a couple years later. I'll take 240k more Ukrainian immigrants than 240k American tourists anytime.

How tiny and sad must you be to just ruin soany people's lives just because you want to show that your hands really aren't tiny?

I kind of understand immigrants.

But refugees? That's just a NASTY move.

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Immigrants implies they've gone through the legal process to emigrate to the United States. The word you're looking for is illegal aliens and I think the vast majority of the country is forgetting there is a simple solution. Penalize all of the companies that are exploiting illegal alien labor to widen their profit margin. Why do we always blame the drug users instead of the drug dealers in this country and I'm using the terms as a metaphor in this case the dealers are the businesses they're the problem not the folks trying to make a better life for themselves.
