TRULY shocking news from Kentucky - now it begins.

Right now, brown people are being overwhelmingly targeted and rounded up without warrants and due process.

There have been several reports that when US Citizens are picked up and have shown citizenship status, they are accused of being fake documents.

White people in these spaces are not being harassed for citizenship papers.

I forgot my link

That is exactly what is happening.

Native Americans are being detained in Arizona and New Mexico. Trumps team is currently arguing in court that Native Americans are not citizens. I have not figured out why they are arguing this though. I have no idea what their end game is.

Trump says he can tell if immigrants are bad based on how they “look”: “You can look at them and say ‘could be trouble’” (in the above interview - Fox News of course)

They looked like illegals ( probably thought they were Mexican )

OMG

Looked like - in the UK we would be talking of anyone who look Indian or Jamaican then, and assume they are illegals
this is sickening. Trump has given his approval to vigilantes, so called Patriots, and even the KKK- do you know what they are capable of? Their history?

What do “illegals” look like? Are you saying some Native Americans were assumed to be “illegals” because they looked like Mexicans, and were consequently detained?

I find the OP goady and distasteful. Claremont you say And a few here will be delighted and applaud.

You are just surmising.

Anyway, wrong on my count. I think the KKK are abhorrent.
I’m not posting on this thread further.

One post above clearly says some do.

Oh well that's alright then.
(God give me strength)

I thought the KKK were illegal, apparently not, but very quiet in recent years, however the biggest threat is from the drugs gangs, the wrong gang and your in serious peril.

I also expect that a number of democrats are also quietly acting to support families and individuals, especially those who've lived and worked a long time, who have families with US citizens in.

And that hits the nail on the head, foxie.

Its not just a grumble about KKK and "who could support them - no one decent here

- its that Trump has and is allowing them to act in this way, act to try and join in the deportations, not condemn them becoming an unofficial arm of the state.

Sadly the genie is out of the bottle. Trump has given the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys and now the KKK et al, permission to exist and spread their vile propaganda. the US is facing a very difficult four years. It's very worrying for the US and for a world that needs a stable, reliable US.

Trump made clear his intentions, so the illegals have had plenty of warning....and now that warning is being repeated.
People have to learn that they can't just go and live in any country they please. They need to go through the proper procedures. If they are refused, they must accept it.

Wow…..

….and are the KKK considered to be an arm of the law in the USA?

Was that a response to my question, Syracute?

Surely those supporting Trump would understand that his values & policies would embolden (maybe even validate) racists like the KKK?

Trump supporters do not intellectualise their admiration; it;s an emotional support to people who feel disregarded by regular politicians and Liberals. Cocking-a-snook, really,at the Establishment.

Trumps parents were KKK, members the Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

People like Trump in the top spot encourage evil people - this is just one of the reasons why his premiership is so terrifying.

I imagine that despite some robust discussions on here regarding immigration, especially illegal immigration, that there will be a very small to vanishing percentage who would support the KKK.
This is on a whole different level.

Yes, I doubt that anyone on here would support the KKK.

It was a somewhat goady comment and unnecessary.
The 1933 comments was rather obscure too as the USA had a Democrat as POTUS then. Or is it because the Communists accused FDR of being a fascist?

That was a response to Babs 17.23.03.

That wouldn’t surprise me Babs. I noticed that on another thread we have a poster claiming that Trump’s (annd Farage’s) values are those of decent people and that we should all get ourselves educated. I didn’t dignify it with a response. What Trump is doing/permitting is appalling. That we have among our cohort here people who support and apparently applaud such beliefs is horrific. Is this what we might expect should Reform get into power?

Claremont, what a ridiculous statement, who in their right mind would agree with KKC. Hope you are never on a jury.

I was just thinking that too! The KKK are abhorrent and so is saying that some GN members here will be happy about it.
