  immigration raids snag U.S. citizens, including Native Americans

  Amazing. Where are they going to deport them to, the actual state their tribe were from before they were forced out of there and onto a barren reservation?

  I know that they’re probably deported to El Salvador because E.S. made bitcoin their national currency.

    It looks like it no longer is because it was a failure. I bet they still have a way to launder bribes through their system though

    In December, 2024, El Salvador, in an agreement for a $1.4 billion loan from the IMF, agreed to reduce bitcoin purchases, removed the mandatory acceptance of Bitcoin requirement on merchants, will no longer accept tax payments with the asset, and will wind-down its involvement in the Chivo wallet.[77][78]

  In all fairness they seem to be detaining plenty of white women too

    That’s just what gets the most media because pretty white women getting harassed by ICE will get a lot more clicks than all the brown skinned people getting harassed by ICE

    And white men. They detained a German guy and dragged him all over the country.

      If it’s the same case I saw, he was gay. So, not exactly not a minority.

      And Brits (relevant to OP). But they had the wrong visa.

      There have also been multiple articles about administration looking for ways to denaturalize citizens. They may be looking for a victim t to try it out on.
