“After a traffic stop for turning right on a red light in Dalton on Monday, a 19-year-old Dalton State student is now facing possible deportation.

Friends say Ximena Arias-Cristobal, who has lived in Whitfield County since she was 4, was taken to the Stewart Detention Center wearing chains around her wrists and ankles. There, she'll wait a little over a month before she appears before a judge. That facility is near Columbus about 3 and a half hours away.

… Officers asked Arias-Cristobal for her license. A police report shows she told them she had an international driver's license, but she didn't have it with her. [the arrest report said her mother had taken the license to keep her from driving - the girl’s father was detained by ICE in a traffic stop several weeks ago] …”

This sounds like a fine young lady who has lived in the USA since she was a toddler but is nonetheless undocumented and so likely to be deported. It is a case of the Administration seeming to seek out immigrants for minor violations rather than focus on the millions of gang members, rapists and murderers Trump swears have overrun the country.

It is perplexing — I have no doubt there are plenty of genuinely dangerous folks who should be prioritized for removal, but for some reason either ICE can’t find them or regardless ICE is intentionally targeting likely immigrants for minor infractions because … they can?

I was struck by a local GOP official writing a letter of support for this particular young lady — purely politically, it just seems like ICE and Trump are intentionally undermining one of their strongest issues generally with this sort of heavy-handed behavior.

I expect MAGAts don’t give a rat’s ass about the criminal history, or lack of a criminal history, of any brown-hued deportees. Just deport them. ANY AND ALL.**** That’ll open up jobs for MAGAts and reduce taxes on MAGAts as the “illegals” quit taking jerbs and sucking on the government teat.

****Don’t deport my workers, friends, or family. Deport the rest.

Something’s going to give in this country. All this is already happening and Trump has only been in power 100 days and some change. Can’t even imagine how much worse things are going to get.

There are going to be civil rights lawsuits filed after this. And if I were on one of those juries, there would be a massive jury award.

Absolutely shameful decision by NYU. Withholding a diploma because a student exercised their free speech is not a good look.

I don't think "not a good look" remotely does justice here -- I'm sure you'd agree with that.

Problem is that NYU is practically a subsidiary of the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen and Katz, and a fiefdom of Martin Lipton in particular. That senior management/old guard of that firm is basically all Jewish, and IIRC many are very much Zionists. I'm only using the z-word as a descriptor, not as a pejorative. I'm merely saying I would expect WLRK's people to take a dim view.

NYU also has other challenges on this issue due to a consent decree signed in 2020. I don't know all the details of that, but the NYU folks might have felt some obligation to do something lest they invite more scrutiny.

I expect the speaker to get the diploma in short order, and that this was a dog-and-pony show.

Project Esther:

The Group Behind Project 2025 Has a Plan to Crush the Pro-Palestinian Movement​

Even before President Trump was re-elected, the Heritage Foundation, best known for Project 2025, set out to destroy pro-Palestinian activism in the United States.

“… Project Esther’s architects envisioned outcomes that at the time might have seemed far-fetched. Curriculum it believed to be sympathetic to a “Hamas support” narrative would be taken out of schools and universities, and “supporting faculty” would be removed. Social media would be purged of content deemed to be antisemitic. Institutions would lose public funding. Foreign students who pushed for Palestinian rights would have their visas revoked, or be deported.

Once a sympathetic presidential administration was in place, the plan said, “We will organize rapidly, take immediate action to ‘stop the bleeding,’ and achieve all objectives within two years.”

Now, four months after Mr. Trump took office, Heritage Foundation leaders are taking an early victory lap.

Since the inauguration, the White House and other Republicans have called for actions that appear to mirror more than half of Project Esther’s proposals, a New York Times analysis shows, including threats to withhold billions in federal funding at universities and attempts to deport legal residents.

In interviews with The Times — the Heritage Foundation’s first public comments since Mr. Trump took office about its blueprint for shaping U.S. public opinion on Israel — Project Esther’s architects said there were clear parallels between their plan and recent actions against universities and pro-Palestinian demonstrators on both a state and a federal level.

“The phase we’re in now is starting to execute some of the lines of effort in terms of legislative, legal and financial penalties for what we consider to be material support for terrorism,” said Victoria Coates, a former deputy national security adviser to Mr. Trump and the vice president at Heritage who oversees Project Esther. …”

This apocalyptic death cult is going to have to move the goalposts, once again, when they ethnically cleanse the Palestinians and the result is humans still be humans, no Scandinavian Jesus materializes from the ether, and the vast majority of the world views them as morally repugnant reprobates. I suppose they could start a nuclear war, fueled by the greatest case of confirmation bias in human history, which I’m sure will totally own the libs, and not affect the cult members at all.
 


“… According to Khalil's legal team, immigration authorities wrote in their arrest report that agents told Khalil they had a warrant for his arrest. But the Trump-Vance administration admitted last month that there was no warrant, claiming it didn’t need one to arrest the Columbia pro-Palestine and anti-war protest leader because “it was likely he would escape before they could obtain a warrant.”

The government claimed Khalil was not cooperating and he was going to flee. The “exigent circumstances,” it claimed, amounted to Khalil being a “flight risk.”

But the new footage of Khalil’s abduction – along with a previously published video showing the moment plainclothes agents handcuffed him – reveals the government’s claims were a lie….”
