Looking forward to waving goodbye to Elon Musk, who is a citizen of the US, Canada, and South Africa.
Also, Melania Trump and Trump's own son Barron hold dual US and Slovenian citizenship."

"Then, when the cruelty becomes undeniable, point to the legal category as justification: 'They shouldn’t have been here. They broke the law. What happens to them is their own fault.'
By the time the pattern is complete, we’ve convinced ourselves that people are less human because of their paperwork status."

"First, establish a legal category that marks people as 'other.' Then, gradually, allow that legal distinction to become a moral one. Then allow the moral distinction to justify any level of dehumanization."

"In a xenophobic rant during a cabinet meeting, Trump went off on Somalis and Ilhan Omar, the congressional representative who is from Somalia and is a US citizen. He said Somalia 'stinks' and is 'no good for a reason'."

"In the wake of a tragic killing, he and his aides are making racist proclamations and promising sweeping draconian measures including banning entry to the US of all people from the “third world” and expelling from this country naturalized citizens who do not ascribe to our leaders’ ideas or political opinions."

"He commands closed the skies of a foreign land. He demands the people of another nation vote for his political ally or he will punish them. He sets free a convicted drug lord while arguing that he is waging a hemispheric battle against narco-terrorists. His minions are committing war crimes in his name, lying about their justifications, bringing disgrace on our country and our armed services."

"We have descended into utter madness. …
Take the news of just the past few days as sketched out in headlines and shards of social media.
We are about to go to war against another country for no reason. Our president is delusionally barking out orders to the planet, seemingly convinced he rules the entire globe."

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime
---
Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arrested in a Chicago raid are telling their stories.

"Pope Leo's comments strengthen the resolve of those of us in the United States who remain deeply committed to welcoming the stranger," said Kerry Alys Robinson, president & CEO of Catholic Charities USA, a national federation of 168 #Catholic #charity agencies.
#PopeLeo, the first #US pope, has been ramping up his disapproval of the #Trump admin's treatment of #immigrants.

"There's a deep reflection that needs to be made in terms of what's happening," the pontiff said on Tuesday, when asked about the condition of #immigrants detained at a federal facility in #Broadview, #Illinois, near #Chicago.
"I know how much it means to detainees & their families that #PopeLeo is paying close attention to the suffering of migrants & their families here," Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich told Reuters.

Cupich, who leads an archdiocese including about 2 million #Catholics, said the #Church's teachings about helping #immigrants cannot be disregarded.
"This is not some abstract value that people who say they are #Christian can easily ignore," said the cardinal. "No, this is the kind of moral imperative that is tested in the here and now."

…El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz, who…heads the #migration cmte of the #US #bishops' conference, said the conference is discussing whether to issue a statement about the #Trump admin's treatment of #immigrants during its annual meeting, to be held in Baltimore from Nov 10-13.
"Without question, this issue will be a major, if not the major, topic that we undertake during the bishops' meeting," he said.

#PopeLeo was asked Tuesday about #immigrants at the #Broadview facility who have been refused the opportunity to receive holy Communion, an important #religious obligation. Many immigrants entering the #US come from #LatinAmerica, a predominantly #Catholic region.
He said the detainees' spiritual rights need to be respected & cited scripture indicating Jesus will judge #Christians after death on how they welcomed immigrants.

"As I see it, Hispanic voters are now learning a similar lesson. Until this year many of them could brush off evidence of right-wing racism, including Trump’s tirades about Mexican rapists, as unlikely to affect their lives. Now they’re seeing friends and family grabbed on the street by masked government thugs. Many will never trust the right again."

They won't return, he thinks, because they've learned a lesson the Jewish community has long had to learn:
"Jews have many generations’ worth of experience with right-wing antisemitism. Many of us understand, I believe, that whenever bigotry of any kind is given free rein, we’re always next in line.
And sure enough, rabid antisemitism is surging within MAGA, which should surprise absolutely nobody."

Paul Krugman notes the sharp turn back to the Democratic fold that many Latino voters who went for Trump in 2024 made in the recent elections. He thinks the 2024 turn had to do with anger at rising prices blamed on Biden, and a refusal of many Latinos to take Trump at his word that he'd begin rounding up and deporting immigrants.
Krugman thinks Latinos won't be coming back to the GOP fold.

Pope Leo's recent criticisms of #Trump anti-#immigration policies are emboldening #Catholic efforts to help #immigrants caught up in the admin's hardline crackdown, snr US Church leaders say.
After Leo called on Tues for "deep reflection" in the #US about the admin's treatment of #immigrants, several top bishops as well as the country's main network of Catholic nuns & its national charity federation told Reuters they would step up their work.
