trump and Jd were adamant about the illegal status of the Haitians, so why doesn’t homan become a hero and swoop in there and round them all up? A really easy way to make his quota for a while. God, I hate this timeline. ---

Well, I don’t know the answer, but I think it’s a real good question. I’d like to run around and ask certain people. ---

Because it’s majority Republican? ---

So they should be the first to welcome him in there! ---

Wasn’t it Denver that had vast apartment complexes in the hands of the cartels? How did that story sink under the waves? ---

It hasn’t, really – at least, not locally/regionally: > **[Edge at Lowry residents move out of closed Colorado apartments, and some are...](https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/edge-at-lowry-residents-move-out-colorado-apartments-aurora-closed/)** > > The Edge at Lowry apartment complex at 12th Avenue and Dallas Street in Aurora has closed, and a total of 85 residents across 23 apartment units have received a total of $94,375 in direct assistance. More ‘gangs’ than ‘cartels,’ incidentally … for whatever that’s worth. ---

I just drove through Springfield. All’s quiet on the Western Clark County front. They didn’t roll in there, because there is no _there_ there. There never was. And I know you knew that, and I am not being snarky. I am just really fucking sick of this story, how it has poisoned my white neighbors, and how it has ACTUALLY put my Haitian brothers and sisters in REAL danger from those same kool-aid-drinking morons. My prediction is that they will go to the trouble of removing their temporary protected status, thus providing a veneer of legitimacy to their evil actions. I, and others like me, will try to stop them. ---

It looks like Secretary of Homeland Security Noem has taken care of the Haitians in Springfield. And everywhere else. > **[Trump Cuts Protections for Haitians, Putting Them on Track for Deportation](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/us/politics/haitians-temporary-protected-status.html?unlocked_article_code=1.yk4.llLt.A1tzbjFi-J9y&smid=url-share)** > > The decision is the latest in President Trump’s sweeping crackdown on immigrants, including people whom the Biden administration had authorized to remain in the country. Yes, it’s a gift link. ---

The level of misery created by these theatrics is off the charts. It really is unforgivable. ---

Misery is the intent. Particularly for those less than lily white. ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > Well, I don’t know the answer, but I think it’s a real good question. I’d like to run around and ask certain people. They’ll tell you that you’re not hearing about that crisis anymore. So obviously it must have been one of the things Trump fixed on Day One.
