Was nothing against you just the concept of outing innocent people the way the police and media do
officers grabbed the man, later identified by the police as REDACTED of Atlanta, and dragged him out of the room.
The man’s identity should not be allowed to be publicly blasted to the media by police for checks notes NOT committing a crime.

Many many reasons for the immigrants who support him all of them bad reasons obviously.
-White-Passing Hispanics, especially CDMX, Monterey within Mexico and outside, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil (obv. not the darker skinned Brazilians) etc. that can be seen by whites as “the good ones”, and by the Hispanics themselves. These people, the ones who make a point to embrace the “whiteness” of their bloodline, allowing them to identify more with their European colonizers rather than the darker skinned natives, or even Mestizos (mixed race, though at this point most people are decedents of decedents of decedents of the original Mestizos). Their tie to that European “whiteness” somehow makes them better than those darker than themselves.
-Machismo culture being deeply ingrained in many families causing them to “admire” a “strong” man. Not a single macho man is actually macho (except for Macho Man) under Machismo, it is a warped idea of what constitutes macho that idolizes the men and puts them up front as the default lead of any situation especially family just because they are male.
-There is unfortunately, a STRONG sense of “I got mine” or pulling the ladder up behind you among many many immigrants, Hispanic or otherwise. This goes along with the sense of “well we did it so it can’t be that hard”, they fail to realize that yes, it may have been easy for you but for others it is not.
-Last I can think of, the kids and grand-kids of immigrants. Many did not get taught about the struggles of their ancestors, or were taught and don’t care, sometimes you just get a bad egg kids who doesn’t give a shit about his heritage. Sometimes this comes from their feeling like an “other” when living in an area with a Hispanic minority. This can cause them to seek out belonging and feel resentment to their ancestors and heritage for bringing them there, for making them into a minority and grow some unhealthy selfhate, and then falling in with like minds who also hate the “others” making them into “one of the good ones.” (ive types this term too many times today)
BigFig@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.English41·2 months agohe would flush the millions of illegals who voted for Biden in 2020 like rats. (I picked that analogy on purpose, he thinks they’re sub-human).
And that is the Nazi (and other authoritarian, not even just right fascists) talking point. The painting of a people as “Vermin”, the villainization of a minority or even a majority or comparatively similar size group. The point is to gear your people to think deep down that the “others” are beneath them, beneath deserved respect, sub human scum that you shouldn’t be worried about what happens to them.
BigFig@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.English31·2 months agoI am going through this process right now.
Once we are married (very soon) she will apply for a change of status to CR1 Visa (Temporary Residency for a spouse of an American citizen)
From that point you have 2 years to finalize application for a Green Card (permanent residency)
Once she has her Green Card, so long as she isn’t a criminal breaking any laws (non immigration related, felony shit) then she is a legal, permanent, resident.
You then have to maintain that Green Card status for a minimum of 3 YEARS to then apply for full or dual citizenship. (Though you apply 90 days before that 3 year mark arrives)
BigFig@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.English12·2 months agoSees her as his brown colonial conquest, or marrying “one of the good ones” because she gets his dick wet
You know if this hadn’t happened, if they ever got divorced and she wasn’t a resident or citizen yet then he’d be calling ice on her ass the next day.
BigFig@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.English93·2 months agoI agree, but she and anyone else in her position have SIGNED paperwork in agreement with the terms that by X date you will leave the country. What the fuck else are we supposed to do if we just shrug and say oh well it’s just a date. These two were blatantly attempting to trounce the laws and just do whatever they wanted.
BigFig@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.English895·2 months agoHold the fuck up, she was already OVERSTAYING her Visa and these idiots thought it was a good idea to TRAVEL? Nah they both got what they fucking deserved. It doesn’t matter that you’re awaiting your residency application, you have already passed your exit date, why the fuck would you be traveling for your honeymoon
Edit: I’m literally standing in the airport awaiting my fiance’s return from Mexico right now, this shit makes all the people who actually read their paperwork and follow the rules, look bad when they get lumped in with these idiots.

But it sounds like he was caught doing a ton of illegal recording of people in rental properties and some of those included minors so, thankfully he wasn’t actively targeting minors, but at the same time a complete scumbag recording people without their consent.
