    And, as NBC News has reported, arrests do not always equal immediate detentions, much less deportations

    Well of course. When you have ICE agents literally arresting families just for speaking Spanish, many of those arrested are going to actually be US citizens.

      Fucking Navajo were arrested.

      But I will not be at all surprised when Trump says indigenous Americans need to be deported to Indigia or wherever he thinks they come from.

        From the small amount of research I just did, it looks like either the Conoy or Powhatan tribes could lay claim to the area now known as Washington, D.C.

        Could be good to know.

          Would they want it back? It would be like trying to detail a car a chain smoker drove for 10 years. No matter what you do, the stench will never leave.

          Maybe we can use it as a nuclear waste dump.
