> expel inferior/unworthy ethnicities

Is this happening? Or a stated goal?

I know they're deporting people who aren't here legally (that's a whole other debate), but I'm not aware of them actively targeting anyone based on race of ethnicity regardless of their legal status.

Yes, they are currently targeting Venezuelans and Haitians who have legal status

I know trump was already saying shitty things about Haitians before he was even sworn in. Have they had ICE rounding up and deporting people who are actually here legally?

[blactuary]

They are working on cancelling their legal status. We have allowed Haitian migration because of the incompetence and corruption down there (and our role in a lot of that in the past)

[_heimdall]

If they go through the legal process and revoke or cancel status in a way that courts agree is within their legal authority, I'm not sure what they would have done wrong there. Morally I'd take huge issue with it, but we have allowed such a complex web of laws and authorities that we can't really complain when an elected official does what they want by the book.

Now if they go off script and act outside the law, that's a whole other story.

That already happened. The Biden/Harris admin quietly did not renew their TPS status while the "eating the pets" nonsense was in the news.

There has also been posts from schools in Texas recommending kids on field trips keep legal documentation on them because ICE is stopping school buses for investigations.

At what point do you pull your head out of the sand and stare into reality.

I don't know, is it? The US has had Trump as POTUS for four weeks and he's already doing a lot of what was "promised" in [Project 2025](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025)...
