    They sure do go after people who are legally here by simply revoking their legal status a lot. I guess legal immigrations were ALSO who they wanted to deport.

      They need to shore those numbers up — can’t lag behind Biden’s daily deportation count and look weak. Just get a large-sounding number to wave around and say “look, we’re doing what we promised!”

    Fucking at least wait until the semester is over you assholes, Christ.

    It sounds like this isn’t something that just happened but has been happening in a vacuum without the universities being notified, and they’re discovering it manually.

    This to me appears as though they’re trying to create a pipeline to create scary optics (of scary things) of ‘rounding up and deporting protestors from college campuses’.

    This is heartbreaking. I hope all here on visas are able to finish their semester and find a clean way to GTFO. But honestly your life and safety have no price. It is worth every penny to find a way out of here ASAP.

    It takes brains and money for foreign kids to be accepted at American universities, so these are future movers-and-shakers in their home countries. When they return, they’ll spend the rest of their lives justifiably badmouthing the U S of A, warning others to stay away. Like so much of what Trump is doing, the repercussions will live on, long after he’s gone.

    Excellent link round-up, by the way.
