The Dotte Disputes La Migra As MAGA Stays Losing Supreme Mass Deportation Fight

In this post we share two reports that speak to rising pushback against conservative traveling music and walking papers. 

First, just a bit of "resistance" from our 2nd favorite barrio . . .

Wyandotte County residents in recent weeks have widely shared unconfirmed, and at times disproved, social media posts reporting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids and mass-arrests, but it has been difficult to assess locally what has been an “ICE raid,” as it’s traditionally known, and what’s been an arrest for a separate crime that ends up with someone being detained by a federal officer.

Edgar Galicia, the director of KCK’s Central Area Betterment Association, or CABA, told The Star this week that his organization has been notified of ICE activity in the area and that many community members have reached out to the organization for guidance.

“People are truly afraid!” Galicia said in an email. “Some are looking for ways to stay safe, some are looking for ways to go back to their countries of origin, all, everyone is worried about the lack of respect for human rights and the Constitution.” 

And then . . .This high court ruling is probably the most important news item of the day and something that the White House wanted to distract from . . . Check-it:

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected the Trump administration’s request to remove a temporary block on deportations of Venezuelans under a rarely used 18th-century wartime law.

The court, which returned the case to a federal appeals court, had already imposed a temporary halt on deportations from a north Texas detention facility in a middle-of-the-night order issued last month.
