Summary

The Trump administration plans to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s war, fast-tracking them for deportation.

The move is part of a broader effort to strip protections from 1.8 million migrants admitted under Biden’s humanitarian parole programs.

Trump’s policies also target 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Legal challenges are mounting, as affected individuals face uncertain futures. Advocates warn that even U.S. allies, such as Afghans who assisted the military, are now at risk of detention and deportation.

    I think the legal, standing around with signs protest is going to have to have its toothier cousin (the violent riot) starting up again alongside it if we want anything to change. They already painted the 2020 protests as “burning the cities down” despite them being >90% peaceful. We might as well – to reference Kendrick Lamar’s lyrics – fuck being rational and give em what they asked for.

      Yup.

      Legal avenues and peaceful protests aren’t viable.

      Violence will have to be the answer. Historically it always is if legal avenues and peaceful protests fail.

      Fascists do not respond to anything other than violence.

      It’s coming. The question is how much violence will be necessary to bring about change?

      And it all could have been avoided if Americans behaved like adults and refrained from empowering a traitorous felon rapist.
