Hundreds of immigrants have been arrested in recent days as Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are now accompanying D.C. police officers on traffic stops targeting delivery workers on mopeds. ICE agents are reportedly using driver’s license, registration and insurance information to determine the immigration status of people stopped by police. Over 200 immigrants have been arrested since Trump’s federal takeover of D.C., according to the White House. The shift violates D.C.'s sanctuary policies, which restrict collaboration between local police and federal immigration agencies.

    Many of these immigrants have no criminal background, are working class, and are striving to succeed in a failing bourgeoisie system. I cannot believe the callous dehumanization that immigrants are going through at the hands of some of the American people, but at the same time, I am not surprised. Hitler’s first action against the Jews was to deport them out of Germany or make deals with Zionists to send them through pre-Israeli propaganda to Palestine. This is as close as we are getting to fascism in the United States, with concentration camps like Alligator Alcatraz. As an immigrant myself who got deported while visiting Mexico, I know how humiliating and unfair it feels to be deported. Later in my life, I became a naturalized citizen. The conditions that are giving to any class and how their social structure is, is how some interact with the people around us through the mode of productions, and many years of the United States acquired half of the United States by Mexico and NAFTA switching agriculture to the US to provide for Mexico, the reason for the mass migrations of immigrants, mostly Mexicans affected by the policy, to the United States. This Imperialist Nation never ceases to amaze me with the hypocrisy of its own actions and the reactionary sentiments against the consequences of those actions.
