What really is going on in the US right now? Is this worse than the first term? Why're legal people being kicked out? When is it time to really consider leave? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

First term a lot of people considered leaving but frankly it didn't feel like this.

Mods: I am unsure if this question goes against rule 2 or not. I mean to ask this as the general situation but of course it is political. The wording of the rule makes it unclear if politics are allowed or not...

horror stories about people being caught up wrongly in the deportation

You mean people who are caught up rightfully in deportation are treated with dignity, right? Right?

No. The label horror story, sadly, applies to all. I suppose I could have worded it differently, had I expected the least generous interpretation being applied to what I wrote.

I just wanted to stress that the problem is the treatment. People are often ok with treating prisoners badly.
