    Exactly my thought. For the same reason they’ve been arresting people at the border trying to enter the US instead of just turning them away, I expect they’ll arrest anyone they seem “illegal” trying to exit the country: The prison industrial complex.

    They’re going to get rich off of imprisoning people and forcing them into slave labor and internment camps.

      Well I mean the article says that they’re not even going to wait until the “deadline” for so-called self-deportation before they start arresting people who came in under the immigration program:

      “But DHS said it retains the authority to target migrants who arrived under this program before the 30-day period lapses. Officials say those prioritized for arrest will include migrants who have failed to apply for another immigration benefit like asylum or a green card.”

      So they’ve overnight given themselves the right to arrest people who the day before had a legal right to live in the US. Basically they seem to think the only legal and human rights that exist are those granted by their god-king or Muskolini, and they don’t fear the legacy judicial system.

      Yes, for sure this is going to happen. Just like Leon is profiting of the foreign workers with a working visa, and them being completely dependent on it, this is a large group of people that literally have nowhere to go. They will be exploited to the fullest extend.

      What a time to be alive eh?
