The 24-year-old was born in Phoenix and is a member of Arizona’s Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. She was booked into the Polk County Jail in Des Moines, Iowa, where she currently lives, in September for allegedly driving with a suspended license. Jacobo was scheduled to be released on Nov. 11, but what should have been a routine process was complicated and delayed by an erroneously issued ICE detainer. She was ultimately allowed to leave just before 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 12.
Of all the rightfully deserved criticism Florida gets, I’ll give them this, they don’t arrest for most driving infractions. I got a couple driving while license suspended tickets and they got dismissed once I got it sorted out. Meanwhile the state I moved to arrested me for failing to pay a seatbelt ticket! And what’s crazy is that I always use my seatbelt, I was just pulling out of the parking lot and was in the middle of putting it on when I got flashed.
I heard during the Mc Donald’s event today Trump called out a person that escaped Cuba to come to America. Does that mean he came into the country legally or no? Is he safe to due to some other laws I don’t understand.
I’m OOTL. McDonald’s event?

Yeah, sure, a “mistake.” Only because they didn’t get away with it.
Let’s make no mistake ourselves: they deported hundreds of thousands of Native/Mexican-American US citizens a century ago, and they are absolutely itching to do it again.
Eh, I don’t think they give a shit about the natives to be honest. There isn’t enough of them to warrant the attention.
This is just regular old racism. Anyone with a slight tan to their skin can be whatever the authorities decide they are. Once that is normalized they can expand it to include other ‘undesirables’ until eventually everyone is included.
Eh, I don’t think they give a shit about the natives to be honest.
Jews were only 1% of the pre-Nazi German population. Trans people are only 1% of the US population.
“we’ve got an illegal Mexican here!” “I’m very clearly white” “Mexican with vitiligo here!”
I mean they’re actually are white Mexicans out there.
Blasphemy!! /s
They don’t know that word. It would just be a white Mexican ( or the pejorative)
The first piece of legislation passed by the newly formed California government was the “Chinese Exclusion Act” which among other things,
“prohibiting all immigration of Chinese laborers for 10 years… The Act also denied Chinese residents already in the US the ability to become citizens and Chinese people traveling in or out of the country were required to carry a certificate identifying their status or risk deportation. It was the first major US law implemented to prevent all members of a specific national group from immigrating to the United States, and therefore helped shape twentieth-century immigration policy.”
Let’s not just limit it to native Americans and Californios(native Mexicans who lived in California before it was stolen), that racist core of the US has been there since day 1. A contributing factor to a lot of the westward migration in the US was that “lower ladder” white immigrant national groups like the Irish, Italian and others who were bottom rung on the east coast could move West and finally have someone further down the ladder to kick.
This is one of the sustaining reasons for racism in general used to manipulate groups who feel tenuous control and power in a society; give them a line about an “other” group, tell them they’re better than that group and wham, you have folks ready to kill to preserve their perception of a precious advantage in society–when of course in reality they’re no better and in fact worse off as the weak fall or rise together.
If you are interested in learning more, the history of California is incredibly useful as a proxy to understand why certain legislation, perceptions and other things still alive in the US that propagate racism exist. Look at immigration quotas the US sets for different nations for example; much, much higher in predominantly white, western European nations while Asia (see California influence), despite MUCH larger populations are allowed lower numbers of immigrants/refugees, visas, etc.

September through November this person was held in jail before ICE showed up.
She was in jail for all that time for " violating probation and allegedly driving with a suspended license."
ICE showed up the day before she was supposed to be released on the November 11th and ordered her held pending deportation. She was released the next day when they got their heads out of their ass and figured out they were after someone else.
Deported to where? She’s got more right than anyone to be here. Where is the group of Natives suiting up and deporting these ICE idiots?
Any country that will take the money.

Too embarrassing for publication outside the US.
It’s pretty depressing as an American that most news websites choose to not be available in Europe because they cannot pass basic privacy requirements.
