Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm not saying that's not possible, but if they were doing that, you'd think they'd at least say "For: Juan Herrero, On Behalf Of: " or something. But, apparently an immigration lawyer who received a letter said:
“At first I thought it was for a client, but I looked really closely and the only name on the email was mine."

That’s literally what the DHS spokespeople have said. The emails that were sent erroneously were sent to email addresses of citizens that had their emails entered by a migrant as the migrants email address.
The name on the emails matches the citizens because the migrant clearly thought the “contact information” section was either their immigration lawyers contact details, or they just put someone else’s details on their because they don’t intend on being contactable so it makes them harder to be deported.

It’s not some huge conspiracy, not some threat to deport citizens - it’s an automated email that goes out to the email addresses that migrants, that have had their parole or whatever it is terminated, entered on their forms.
And if you can't trust them, who can you trust?
So you think they’re telling lies? And that the few people that we’ve heard about where this happened - which as far as I’ve seen is only maybe 3 cases - just happened to work with migrants helping them get in legally, where their statement makes perfect sense, especially for non-native English speakers?
Come on. A few people got an email in error. They’re not getting deported. They’re citizens. They weren’t on parole. The DHS has told them they aren’t getting deported and that it was an error.
Do you think the DHS will now deport the citizens anyway? Seems like a bit of a conspiracy theory.
