ICE arrests 90 more students at fake university in Michigan

ICE arrests 90 more students at fake university in Michigan


About 90 additional foreign students of a fake university in metro Detroit created by the Department of Homeland Security have been arrested in recent months.

A total of about 250 students have now been arrested since January on immigration violations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as part of a sting operation by federal agents who enticed foreign-born students, mostly from India, to attend the school that marketed itself as offering graduate programs in technology and computer studies, according to ICE officials.

Many of those arrested have been deported to India while others are contesting their removals. One has been allowed to stay after being granted lawful permanent resident status by an immigration judge.

The students had arrived legally in the U.S. on student visas, but since the University of Farmington was later revealed to be a creation of federal agents, they lost their immigration status after it was shut down in January. The school was located on Northwestern Highway near 13 Mile Road in Farmington Hills and staffed with undercover agents posing as university officials.

Is Stephanie Ruhle now the spokesperson for the Bloomberg campaign?

Watching her on MSNBC today it seems like it.

How many GOP Senators are not up for re-election in 20?

And who are they?

They might be more willing to vote to convict if they don't have to face re-election for another 3 or 5 years. By then Trump will be forgotten.

It is a mistake to not have John Bolton testify?

I think it is.

- He may have some new revelations.
- He has conservative credentials so it will be hard for right wingers to attack him plus discredits the partisan witch hunt argument.
- Is a known face to many Americans unlike the other witnesses.

When a Republican say the Dems are try to overturn the will of the people

I wish someone would remind them that most of the people voted for Clinton and their Will was overturned by a loophole in the constitution put in there to protect slave states.

I've never liked politicians that demonize groups of people.

This is what Trump has done with immigrants, calling Mexicans (who only come here to find work) drug dealers and racists. In fact the entire right wing has been doing this for decades, remember Reagan and "welfare queens". Whether it is immigrants, people of color, the LGBTQ community, Muslims; the right will demonize an entire group of people. That is wrong.

Unfortunately, there are now some on the left who have adopted this despicable tactic and continually demonize a particular group of people, millionaires and billionaires. Just like any other group there are good people and bad people among them. Not all are bad. Not all are good. The bad ones deserve everything said against them. But the good do not. There are many good people that have achieved wealth honestly through hard work, creativity and innovation. They do not deserve to be demonized. Painting a group of people with one broad brush is wrong whether the right is doing it or the left and it should stop.

In 2004 during the GOP convention in NYC

Mayor Bloomberg had protestors held without charge so as not to embarrass President Bush. Five years later Bloomberg subverted the will of the people to get himself a third term.

Are any of Trump's kid's moving to Florida too?

If not could this be a set up for a Trump/Trump ticket next year? And before anyone says that is just crazy, remember this is Trump we are talking about.
