    Adding to Scardina’s annoyance, the men had valid work permits and pending asylum applications, according to their attorney Regilucia Smith. “They are legally here,” she said. “Valid work permit, not even close to expired… again, no criminal records—not here, not in Nicaragua.”

    Remember, it’s not only the people who are here illegally that are being arrested/deported.

      It’s important to remember that it isn’t your citizenship or documentation that is the problem, it is your origin. If you were born somewhere else, they want you out, no matter what your legal situation is. Once they get done rounding up the undocumented, they will come for the rest. They don’t even respect birthright citizenship, which is baked into the Constitution, they certainly aren’t going to respect green cards or naturalized citizenship.

      If you were born someplace else, you are unwelcome by the MAGA Nazis, and they will send you back, citizen or not.

        Elon Musk has been a US citizen for more than 20 years, and they were talking about deporting him after he questioned Dear Leader and some of the Project 2025 agenda. And he’s not even a person of color.

        They definitely don’t care about the law. They only care about homogeneity in both thought and appearance.
