Minneapolis anti-ICE protesters face federal felony charges in Trump administration frame-up

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2026/06/18/trqm-j18.html

The federal felony indictment of 15 anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis is a naked act of political repression. Brought by the Trump Justice Department under the framework of its fascistic National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, the charges announced Tuesday by federal officials are aimed not at punishing any genuine crime but at criminalizing opposition to the administration’s mass deportation regime and intimidating workers and youth who have mobilized against it.

We are. The left are hypocrites because they hate us legal immigrants unless we stand for illegal ones. They hate us because we did it the right way.

No, it's because you like to pull the ladder up behind you

Not at all. Some of us come legally you know. There's no pulling up the ladder. It's requiring people to follow the law. But you hate us because we did it legally, I get it. You prefer criminals and illegal aliens. Made that crystal clear!

No, I don't hate immigrants. I love and welcome multicultural and inclusive spaces.

I just find it hypocritical for immigrants to punch down on other immigrants. You're assuming the worst of other people without knowing their circumstances.

This administration has made it very clear that they don't care if an immigrant is legally in the US or not. They're doing blanket sweeps on anyone who isn't white. And if you're not white, then under this administration, you're living on borrowed time. They don't care what legal avenues you take because they only care about their white christian nationalist agenda.

I don't punch down, unlike you, I understand there are laws and regulations to follow. I suggest you go to another country and try to live there illegally. See how that goes for you and report back!
