ICE's deportation actions signal that anyone who isn't a US citizen is 'at risk – period,' immigration attorney says.
Summary
Wisconsin resident Bradley Bartell voted for Trump's promise to crack down on "criminal illegal immigrants," but now his Peruvian wife Camila Muñoz has been detained by ICE.
Muñoz, from Peru, overstayed her visa but had applied for legal residency. On their way home from a honeymoon, immigration agents detained her at a Puerto Rico airport.
Despite no criminal record, she remains in a Louisiana detention center. Her case reflects ICE’s broadened enforcement that now includes documented immigrants.
Bartell, once supportive of stricter immigration policies, now questions the impact on families like his own.

The more I see stories like this, the more I wonder if Americans can make it out of this hole they've dug. The average inhabitant seems... rather lacking, compared to other developed countries.

I disagree. People are dumb. Pick a country and I'm sure I can find shitty takes reported in the news. Hell, look at Brexit

Agreed. The thought that you're above the con, you could not fall for a grift, is the greatest thing a con man could hope for in a target.

Go watch any advice from cult experts. The people who think themselves too smart to fall into a cult, are MORE likely to be tricked or convinced into one

Exactly, the US government has made it this far on good luck and overall commitment to a mythical American ideal. All it took was a successful populist candidate and some class war propaganda to undo all that.

Brexit was indeed a dumb move, but let's be honest here, it's nowhere near what's happening in the US right now. I can't think of anything comparable in a first-world country, at least not since WWII.

There's literally been a genocide ongoing in Palestine for almost 1.5 years. Hegemonic support for this genocide is a direct cause of growing fascism.
Liberal blind spots are amazingly huge.

Frankly I don't think of Israel as a first-world country, so that hadn't crossed my mind.

People are dumb, especially when lied to 24/7.
The average Russian probably still thinks that Ukraine is Nazis and that they are winning. The average Chinese doesn't know about Tiananmen square students protest or the brutal suppression much less Uyghurs genocide. Name a country and there's something along those lines ongoing or at least in recent history. The far-right in Europe is doing much like America was just 10-20y ago other places are already ahead into their authoritarian phase.
