President Donald Trump's United States of America

There is also the fact if they prove they are good Latinos they hope this Administration won't come after them. The fat paycheques where economic opportunities are limited also likely helps. Plus as it has been pointed out elsewhere, they could also have drank the MAGA Kool-Aid too...

...either ways, I am not so sure we should surprised at any of this. As @Admiral Beez-san has noted, there is a historical precedent for this unfortunately.

Not to mention the precedent of certain far-right figureheads like the Proud Boys' Enrique Tarrio. (Or Nick Fuentes, even if he's more a keyboard than street warrior)
 
The recent batch of released Epstein files are quite concerning. Is it possible that for over a decade Trump used Epstein to blackmail his way to the top?

It's also concern how far Epstein's reach was. It almost appears as if he had some sort of connections with just about every wealthy person of some importance on the planet.

Even Galen Weston Jr.'s name was brought up in one of the files.

How much dirt did he and Trump have on these people? It's amazing there weren't multiple attempts on Epstein's life before he was convicted.

Federal judge blocks Trump administration plan to remove protected status for Haitians in US​

A federal judge in Washington DC on Monday blocked the Trump administration from stripping Temporary Protected Status from up to 350,000 Haitians, which allows them to legally live and work in the United States during the turmoil in their homeland.

Judge Ana Reyes issued a temporary stay that prevents the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, from implementing her decision to remove the status, known as TPS, on Tuesday.

Reyes began her decision by putting the status into historical context. “On December 2, 1783, then-Commander-in-Chief George Washington penned: ‘America is open to receive not only the Opulent & respected Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of all Nations & Religions,’” the judge wrote. “More than two centuries later, Congress reaffirmed President Washington’s vision by establishing the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program.”

Reyes notes that Noem, in announcing her decision on X (formerly known as Twitter), referred to those seeking refuge in the US as “killers, leeches, or entitlement junkies.”

She then notes that the plaintiffs who asked her to block the order, five Haitian TPS holders, “are not, it emerges, ‘killers, leeches, or entitlement junkies.’”

“They are instead: Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot, a neuroscientist researching Alzheimer’s disease…; Rudolph Civil, a software engineer at a national bank…; Marlene Gail Noble, a laboratory assistant in a toxicology department…; Marica Merline Laguerre, a college economics major…; and Vilbrun Dorsainvil, a full-time registered nurse”, the judge added. “They claim that Secretary Noem’s decision violates the Administrative Procedure Act (APA)… and the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”

At the end of her decision, Reys wrote:

Kristi Noem has a First Amendment right to call immigrants killers, leeches, entitlement junkies, and any other inapt name she wants. Secretary Noem, however, is constrained by both our Constitution and the APA to apply faithfully the facts to the law in implementing the TPS program. The record to-date shows she has yet to do that.

There has been widespread speculation that, if TPS is removed from Haitians, the Trump administration could move to quickly deport Haitians from Springfield, Ohio, the immigrant community Donald Trump falsely accused, in a 2024 debate, of eating the dogs and cats of longtime residents.
 

House swears in Democrat to replace Houston congressman who died in office, narrowing Republican majority​

Christian Menefee, a Texas Democrat who won a special election on Saturday, was sworn in as a congressman on Monday, further narrowing the slim Republican majority in the US House. There are now 218 Republicans and 214 Democrats in the House, with three vacancies.

“It’s been more than 330 days since the people of the 18th Congressional district had representation, had a voice in Congress,” Menefee noted in his first remarks on the House floor, referring to the long delay by the Texas governor, Greg Abbott, in calling a special election to replace Sylvester Turner, who died in March 2025.

If you are confused as to how Latino Americans can become ICE, CBP or Border Patrol, come on in and have a seat.

It wouldn't surprise me if some are arguing these are paid actors. It's going to take a lot before the US is a fully functional democracy again

Ah...but that's wrong, it's the protestors who are the paid actors according to them. Some nefarious invisible company is paying wages to hundreds of thousands to professional "agitators" to give Trump a bad day everyday...and with no known profit margin that could ever sustain such a thing. But there we go, the alternative facts are speaking for itself apparently. /s
