You can turn off javascript to get around the pop-up.

Are they gonna deport usan based on genetics tests? Like if someone is 2% Irish, they will be reported to Ireland? Kinda Dictature like and anti free speech

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I mean, don't American Irish already self-report at every opportunity?

[–] BeFayeDoCrimes@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago

As an American Irish person I can confirm. Also, please deport me to Ireland, it'd be so much cheaper to escape this clown show hellhole.

All those genetic test will become useful to be deported from the country. Strange win (still a loss because they sale genetic data to insurance companies)

My great, great Grandma was an illegal immigrant from a country that no longer exists and a city that is now in Poland, though she spoke and considered herself German. So where would I go, modern Germany? Poland? Neither would take me. So probably just sent to die at a work camp.

Yes, that's a ticket to the Tesla Tunnels

[–] mat@jlai.lu 2 points 1 month ago

I guess that one drop makes it all. The solution is probably you getting deported to Europe to discover socialised healthcare I guess

currently the tactic is to deport you if you cannot 'prove citizenship' (Produce US passport, Birth Cert) while you are detained....in other words you must have some way of accessing your personal goods/records while not being able to physically do so- and if you can't then off you go.

you don't get to call a lawyer because that's a right only reserved for US citizens.

I guess this is where outside deportation camp are useful : you can put a shot ton of pressure to citizens if you don't like them

I.C.E. is obviously overstepping their boundaries here and needs to be pared down.

Someone should get on publishing EFF's surveillance avoidance tactics in all the languages...or at least teach the immigrants in their lives to make sure to use throw-away emails, prepaid sim cards and pseudo-identities to criticize government.

Genuinely it's not hard to not provide real world information online; you just keep your identities separated by a few things first. VPNs and Tor help as well to prevent tapping into data.

Use WiFi. Dont use Sim cards. Keep the device in airplane mode.

When ICE gets out of hand, use fire.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It's been (IMO) illegally used and weaponized against the US American people for decades. ICE constantly uses unconstitutional tactics to detain, interrogate, and hurt people.

So it's something like Frontex in Europe, right?

[–] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Hey ice, tongue my fart box, I'm on the toilet and haven't wiped yet.

[–] anothermember@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's ICE, that's a difficult acronym to search?
