    This has been happening for years to Hispanic people, and much worse.

    I’m glad y’all in the news are upset that it’s happening to white people from rich countries (“tourists”! The horror) now. But you missed the point, if that is why you are upset.

      It’s happening to everybody now, more often, whether its the El Salvador deportation cases or the tourists. But the reporting on the cases receiving special attention (not primarily because they’re white, it’s because they have external connections that can connect to anglo national media), many have chosen to highlight the suffering that they witnessed of people equally as innocent but have been stuck in limbo for far longer than they have.

      If trump knew this couldn’t be more DEI. I mean, he’s working diligently of improving the representation of (foreign) white folks among those abused by border agents.

      This has been happening for years to Hispanic people, and much worse.

      And the majority of Hispanic men still voted for trump…
