In Florida, the state’s attorney general has encouraged people with undocumented exes to report them to ICE. The top ICE official at the agency’s Puerto Rico field office said investigators today receive “revenge tips” they never got previously, telling NPR that people are turning in “a neighbor that they don’t get along with, or an ex-husband, ex-wife, ex-boyfriend, ex-girlfriend.” Last year, after a 29-year-old NYPD sergeant was spurned by a woman he met online, he allegedly threatened to have her deported by ICE.

Between January and September 2025, the U.S. deported 99 Irish citizens, a 50 percent increase compared to a year earlier, and an 1,880 percent increase over the five people deported back to Ireland in 2021.

Friendly reminder to never date cops, in case it had to be said

I'm suspicious of anyone who's ever dated a cop

Or realtors. Useless middlemen scum 9 out of 10 times they're used. If you're buying a $400,000 house, what useful thing do you think a realtor is doing to make $20,000 off the buyer and seller? If you're afraid of doing the paperwork, a lawyer will handle it for $1500.

[-] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

Sounds like that what she was trying to do.

Cop : "Ur Qt"

Her: "There's a 40% chance I'm gonna beat your ass if you keep talking to me"

Cop: I'm calling ICE on her

People ratting out their neighbors and former lovers, isn't this what everyone says the USSR was?

Also is this really the society chuds want? This is the glorious future they were trying to build?

Projection as always

Also is this really the society chuds want? This is the glorious future they were trying to build?

This did happened a lot during the aryanisation in nazi Germany, people were writing so much denountiations that Himmler told gestapo to dump out every anonymous one and only process signed ones.

What happens when you just let communities carry out their own justice without any central oversight was a lesson the both the USSR and China learned.

I kinda wonder what lessons, if any, non-communists take from these incidents.

[-] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago

Noooo that was totally centralized violence by le evil Styling and Mahou!!!

[-] ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Tbf that was people turning in other people they accused of being kulaks, basically anti-communist wealth hoarders, which was very much an actual thing that happened often early in the USSR.

People accused of being kulaks were rarely actually anti communist or hoarding wealth though. It was usually an accusation tossed around specifically with the intent of taking other people out for selfish reasons. Basically like witch hunts in western Europe centuries before that. The kulak was a boogieman accusation that could get anyone taken out by the government

This is different in that its people leveraging someones actual verifiable status as undocumented to fuck them over. Its not a boogieman thing, even if the government portrays undocumented people as some evil boogieman as a justification for the evil shit theyre doing

[-] Doubledee@hexbear.net 42 points 2 days ago

Well yeah, they're the ones doing it. They're really chuffed that they have goons who will punish the people that inconvenience them. Society is for losers.

having one's partner banished to gain access to their vast riches

[-] Blockocheese@hexbear.net 45 points 2 days ago

I wish the power imbalance between natural born citizens and immigrants was talked about more.

I was in an abusive relationship with a natural born citizen who went fully mask off after adding me as an authorized user on his credit card so I could build credit to escape my adoptive family (who are the reason I'm having issues with my citizenship in the first place) because he thought he thought he had me trapped.

I thankfully broke up with him at the cost of still living with my abusers but at least I haven't beenremovedd again since so shrug-outta-hecks

[-] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 36 points 1 day ago

deport anybody who can afford a $4.3 million house

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 30 points 1 day ago

Sure would suck if people started reporting relatives of {politicians, cops, and ice agents|white supremacists} to waste their time.

[-] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

It’s one of those moves where you gotta wonder if playing by higher standards is worth it.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago

They're rounding people up. They're gunning people down in the street.

Whether you wanna acknowledge it or not, we are at war. astronaut-1

The high road is LIB shit.

Be a shame if it caught fire

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

when i saw "partner" i somehow assumed business partner and was like "wasn't this what Coco Chanel did to her jewish partners in Vichy France to take control of the perfume empire?"

[-] miz@hexbear.net 26 points 2 days ago

you don't lose title/get expropriated when you get deported right? doesn't he still have a legal property interest? that is the most sacred thing to capitalists and he's white

[-] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Not titled in his name because of immigration status.

Due to Moran’s undocumented immigration status, the San Antonio home was titled in Kjos’s name, but “it was understood and intended to be jointly owned and benefited from by both parties,” according to the complaint.

In 2020, Moran and Kjos decided to buy a place in New York City, setting their sights on a raw three-story condo in the Tribeca section of Lower Manhattan.

Like the San Antonio home, Moran’s immigration status meant the Tribeca property also needed to be titled in Kjos’s name

sorry, I should have read the article. I was being lazy.

hmm I didn't think you had to have a valid visa to hold property

[-] Euergetes@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

i think rich people who own property without visas do so through companies, dude with millions to afford condos couldve visited a lawyer lol

[-] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

I first commented before reading it too, and even if I should, there have definitely been times where I don’t follow up properly.

[-] LanyrdSkynrd@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

They absolutely could have owned the property as joint tenants legally, but it's possible that they couldn't secure a mortgage with his name on it. Even that happens, but it would have been more complicated and probably jacked up the interest rates.

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

Deporting the Irish?

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

Ok so you can afford a $4 million house, but not a golden visa? There's something else going on here.

Not supposed to be deporting white people; what has the US come to rage-cry

[-] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 42 points 2 days ago

Everybody in this article sucks except for the dog who would probably be better off getting re-homed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link.

We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
