Trump wins Dearborn amid anger over Gaza and Lebanon; Jill Stein receives 18% of 🗳️

“In Dearborn, where 55% of the residents are of Middle Eastern descent, Trump won with 42.48% of the vote over Vice President Kamala Harris, who received 36.26%, according to results, with 100% of precincts counted, provided to the Free Press from City Clerk George Darany. Jill Stein received 18.37% of the vote. Voter turnout in Dearborn was smaller compared to 2020.

Trump also won in Dearborn Heights, where 39% of the residents are of Middle Eastern descent, defeating Harris 44% to 38.3%, with Stein at 15.1%.

Voters cast ballots on Nov. 5, 2024, at Salina Intermediate School in Dearborn, Michigan.
In the November 2020 election, Biden received 68.8% in Dearborn while Trump received 29.9%. Muslim voters interviewed Tuesday at polling sites said they were disappointed with the Biden administration's support for Israel's attacks and also preferred Trump's views on economics.”

If they support Palestine or Lebanon, they can easily be considered Islamic terrorists - Hamas or Hezbollah proxies.
Which can get them deported or sent to Gitmo. There's precedent for that.
Doesn't matter who they voted for.

The only place he can send them is Gitmo or some rogue country with no immigration laws.

Trump’s stripping of passports from some Texas Latinos, explained

The Trump administration is engaging in an immigration crackdown in South Texas — against people who have birth certificates showing they were born in the United States.

According to a Washington Post report published Wednesday by Kevin Sieff, immigration lawyers in the area are reporting that “hundreds, even thousands” of Latinos born near the US-Mexico border are being told that their birth certificates aren’t sufficient proof of US citizenship to get their passports approved or renewed.

They’re being subjected to ridiculous document requests like baptismal records, and insulting interview questions like “Do you remember when you were born?” Some are having their existing passports revoked and being thrown in deportation proceedings, or even being barred from reentering the United States when they attempted to come back from Mexico.

A lot of people (not least immigrants and other nonwhite Americans) have already come to the conclusion that the Trump administration lacks any respect for them as Americans or as people; in that context, the denial of passports to native-born citizens can look like racism at best and state violence at worst.

The only chance that those voters had of influencing U.S. policy was to vote Democratic. I'm not going to blame them for this loss. If America wasn't so goddamned fucked up, then their protest votes wouldn't have mattered when everyone else was voting for Kamala.

That said, when they see their people slaughtered and the hasty graves paved over, when they see Ivanka and Clarence Thomas and MTG and Boebert and Ted Cruz and Peter Thiel sunning themselves at Trump Plaza Gaza, I hope they remember every millisecond of being in that voting booth and wail from the bottom of their souls.
