This is disturbing —As the #Trump admin takes the legal status away from thousands of migrants afforded #TPS by President Biden, they are crippling them financially by putting them on #IRS ‘dead’ lists to encourage them to ‘self-deport’./1 🧵(screenshots of the entire article to follow)#USA #immigration #deportationhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/us/politics/migrants-deport-social-security-doge.html

~”...the admin is taking drastic steps to pressure some of those immigrants and others who had legal status to "self-deport" by effectively canceling the Social Security (SS) numbers they had lawfully obtained... (w/ the goal to) cut those people off from using crucial financial services like bank accounts & credit cards, along w/ their access to gov’t benefits.”L. Dudek of the SS Admin wrote that “their financial lives” would be “terminated.” 😳/2 🧵#USA #trump #immigration #deportation

DOGE recently sent Mr. Dudek of the Social Security (SS) admin the first batch of names to be added... with protected status having been revoked that same day. The list included a 13-year-old and seven other minors, raising fears inside the agency that it was overly broad.../3 🧵#USA #trump #immigration #deportation

“In a memo addressed to Mr. Dudek on Monday, Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, wrote that the plan would ‘prevent suspected terrorists who are here illegally’ from having ‘privileges reserved for those with lawful status.’ She did not say how the administration was determining if someone was a ‘suspected terrorist.’”/4 🧵#USA #trump #immigration #deportation

DOGE, Homeland Security (DHS), and the Social Security Admin (SSA) have an ARRANGEMENT to share data among departments— posing serious #privacy concerns 👀ICE is finding out addresses of immigrants (with freshly-stripped away LEGAL status) by sending SS numbers back to SSA to check its database ‼️Immigration enforcement is not within SSA’s scope./5 🧵(end of screenshots)#USA #trump #immigration #deportation

Today, the Supreme Court gave Trump’s discrimination a thumbs up.How horribly sad, shameful, and backwards that they will prohibit people who simply want to be themselves from serving their country.(And it’s ironic that the Trump admin is kicking people out who WANT to serve considering the admin has expressed concern about people NOT being able to do because of ‘chronic disease’* such as autism.) *not my words#USA #trump #lgbtq #LGBTQIA #trans #MyThoughtshttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/05/06/supreme-court-trump-transgender-military/83408713007/

@Nonilex I’m so sad for that man and his family. The trump admin is already talking about deporting him— possibly to Uganda.

Disclaimer: ‘Fast Slang’ (.com) and other sites say that ‘tator tot’ is offensive (hmph!) We call her Dorothy ‘Tot’ affectionately because she is so adorable!

~Prosecutors failed to secure an indictment against a man accused of throwing a sandwich at a federal agent.~“The grand jury's rejection of the felony charge was a remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney's office in Washington (DC) and the second time in recent days that a majority of grand jurors (ordinary citizens) refused to vote to indict a person accused of felony assault on a federal agent.” 👀#USA

The vaccine laws of many states are tied to ACIP’s recommendations…incl. for school entry, guidelines for health care workers, whether pharmacists can provide #COVID vaccinations…Without those recommendations, states are creating their own rules, seeking information elsewhere & banding together to ensure coverage for their citizens (excluding Florida, which has gone in the opposite direction & seeks to end all vaccine mandates).1🧵#USA #healthcare #health #vaccines—https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/09/06/nx-s1-5532121/states-vaccine-guidance-washington-oregon-new-mexico

@Nonilex Oh yes. And it’s very dangerous. Our military will be beholden to whatever source funds it (anonymous or otherwise). There are no free lunches.
