This man truly needs to try to get to Canada or Europe and claim asylum. The right have a massive hate boner for him because it pokes so many holes in the “we are only sending bad people there” line they always use.
Also we need to stop calling it deportation when its not that at all.

Unfortunately that propaganda is working. Many non-Western immigrants still go to the US, unaware of the harassment that even tourists receive in airports. My cousin immigrated to the US and another one is going to follow. I warned my cousin to be careful, and he responded the usual “only illegals are getting arrested”. I was genuinely shocked that he hasn’t heard of even white Westerners getting accosted and detained for vague reasons. He was inversely shocked when I told him of these incidents.
A lot of Americans are unaware at how powerful and influential American media is in other countries. In my home country, US is always painted as greener pasture; almost spotless and clean unlike in our shithole country. But many of my compatriots living in the US admit that the country is overrated because of rampant homelessness, crime and lack of social welfare. Of course, the US is still miles ahead better than other developing countries, but the US it is not the pitch perfect country that it is portrayed to be by international media.
Also we need to stop calling it deportation when its not that at all.
The media continues to miss every opportunity to call out the fascists’ distortions of language. It’s infuriating to see how journalists unquestioningly buy into the propaganda, apparently without realizing what they’re doing.
Then fight the lawsuits. They’ll win because the lawsuits are bullshit. Everyone knows that but they would rather bend the knee than fight and that, more than anything, is why I hope they do go under.
Luckily they’re all backed by billionaire investors so they can afford to see the frivolous suits through. The self-censorship is something they do by design, not a response to any actual threat.

Inversely shocked? Like… nonplussed?

They don’t miss it.
They intentionally sanewash all this bullshit.
If they don’t then they get sued for a billion dollars, then we get no news. It’s a pretty shitty situation all around.

Couldn’t he just run to the nearest Canadian embassy and beg for help?
