New Yorkers protest Trump mass deportations
Less than a month into his term as president, Donald Trump is carrying out what he wants to be the largest mass deportations in US history against undocumented immigrants.
Over 8,000 people have already been deported, leaving families separated and facing an unknown fate.
As Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids New York, alongside other states, New Yorkers condemn the government's practices and call on all communities to stand in solidarity with the immigrants.
Karina Garcia, Former 2024 VP Candidate, underlined the real reason behind these deportations.
The mass deportations are not intended to end immigration. In fact, the country benefits from undocumented immigration. These corporations are able to super exploit our people.
We're not going to be their scapegoat. The deportations are a massive human rights violation, but they're also a publicity stunt, because separating families and deporting immigrants is not going to get people healthcare. It's not going to give people, you know, good jobs. It's not going to protect their homes from big banks and corporations who around the country have been driving up the cost of rent.
Separating families is just going to take away that little humanity that exists in this country after so much US military intervention in the world.

The attribution of criminality to migrants by the Trump administration to justify the deportation campaign is being rejected by the people stating that the actual criminals are the ones in the Oval Office.
The real problem is not that there are immigrants who are coming here without documents. The real problem is that the wealthy, the rich and the powerful, continue to live way above the living standards of the rest of society, and they use wars, sanctions, blockades, against other countries of the world; and they wonder why immigrants come to the United States.
Well, we reject their use of that word criminal, because who are the real criminals here?
The criminals for us are people like Elon Musk who are putting millions of taxpayer dollars in their own pockets for their own profit.
Criminals are the ones like Netanyahu, who were received at the White House with full red carpet. They are the real criminals.

As Trump unleashes a wave of mass deportation against immigrants, calling them criminals, New Yorkers are rejecting these draconian measures.
As the rift grows between the populace and the president, it seems that what was once known as the nation of immigrants now faces its darkest days.
