My heart is with all of you!💗🙏🏼

How frightening is it for people with recent Hispanic roots who are here perfectly legally?

Yes. We must keep fighting. I just got told about an indivisible ICE response training next Tuesday. Everyone who can should be looking for that. Community is what we need to focus on. We need to link arms and not let them isolate anyone through fear.

Bullshit.

There is just 'no way to stop this' without getting our hands dirty.

And, it appears that we don't want to do this.

I just hope the tipping point gets here before we lose it all.

Two tall blond basketball playing boys are brainwashed. The mother is half Mexican and it’s like they don’t realize it. Cracks me up, but I don’t say any thing.

Who had women lining up even in his old age, would get very dark in the summer. When we were in Puerto Rico, the Puerto Ricans would come up to him and speak in Spanish. He knows very little Spanish. When he would tell them that, they would not believe him. They swore he was Puerto Rican.

He's got a a very British last name and there are even mountains in Kentucky with his last name. His family has a long history in Kentucky. But no Hispanic blood.

He passed away 6 years ago. He would have punched out any ICE agent who would lay hands on him. He was a very nice guy but if you wanted a fight with him or lay hands on him, you would not do well.

Sooo, do you think every Puerto Rican in the States is being snatched up? I suspect they are victims of this crap too.

I’m 50% Italian so dark greying hair, bad eyes, short middle aged (hopefully), woman. Will I get tackled?

is in school in fucking Florida. I fear for her, too.

Keep your grandson safe

is this a high school or elementary school?

where is security? do they come inside with their guns?

this is stunning!

(can't the school call the police? maybe i'm being naïve but ... ?)

And near where there are many ICE stationed near Chicago. But now every latin kid is fearful they're next. What has this nation become!!???

i might have kept her home for awhile -- i'd be fearful too--for her and everyone else

i don't understand why they can just go into a school--especially in illinois -- and think they're going to take kids (no matter if the kids are 18 or underage). how is this legal?

i'd try to contact pritzker's office (you might want to give that a try since you have more details than i do)

so sorry this happened/is happening.

We don't need millions of people protesting on October 18th, we needs 10's of millions.
My greatest fear is that Trump is trying to provoke incidents that will justify a national emergency, and eventually martial law.
He doesn't want there to be an election in 2026, and will do anything he can to justify calling off the election.
The best route we have now is a huge presence in the streets on 10/18.
We need to send a message to all those Republicans in Congress that the tide is turning against them, and they need to make a choice; either democracy or fascism.
And, we need to let them know that fascism isn't a choice we'll accept.

her way to Morro Bay, CA on highway 1. She has black/brown hair and an olive complexion due to her great grandmother being 100% Sicilian. She had a Raiders Nation bumper sticker or decal on her Chevy Tahoe with tinted windows. She was not speeding or done anything wrong except looking like a Mexican American driving a new car. Anyway, they checked her out, she has a very English married surname, and they let her go on her way. When they got back home, the decal came off and she got highlights for her hair. She didn't want to experience that again. She said at the time, "I was profiled."

Both of my daughters have been asked if they were adopted by their friends, I have blond hair, green eyes and very fair skin. My daughters inherited eye color and complexion from husband's Sicilian side of the family. Lots of their friends and teachers always assumed they were people of color, just because they tan super fast. Teachers were shocked when I showed up for teacher conferences or back to school nights.

I am glad my daughters aren't school age now. They are both mothers and have children who do not look like they just got off the boat from Sicily.

Blond, green-eyed with fair skin. Their mother is a short dark Sicilian. She was asked many times if the boys were hers.

The parents were merely frosty but those Klanner kids were nothing short of brutal. I survived and so will your grandson. Of course I left Dixie like I was shot out of a cannon as soon as I could and will never live there again.

However, tell your grandson he will have a great time starting in his mid 30s or so looking up all those cleft headed bully boys to see what they've done with their lives. It's very gratifying and becomes even more so as time goes on.

To prove he is the name on the bc

My granddaughter has some Hispanic blood and keeping her bc and id with her makes me feel better and her feel less scared

Good luck 🍀

It shows how low the country has sunk.

I'm always astounded that there are so many who want to be active ICE agents.
Where did they learn to hate so much?
Are they all white supremacists?
Do they not have spouses and parents who object to them joining the American Gestapo?

And my daughter feel the same. There are Germans, British, Welsh that look Mexican too. And now that the Supremes said yes to racial profiling everyone with dark hair is in jeopardy of at least having a day or two ruined by detention. And who's to say it won't happen over and over again?

55% of Hispanic voters in Texas voted for the a-hole in 2024. That ICE is now dragging kids out of schools because they look Mexican is not at all unexpected by most of us on DU, but it has to be a shock to the people whose kids are living in fear even though they are more American than most ICE agents. Hispanics need to send an unmistakeable message in November 2026 that this will not stand.
