George and Esmeralda said they both voted for the first time in 2020, and then again in 2024 – both times for President Donald Trump. They said, as they’ve watched his mass deportation effort unfold in immigration court and at workplaces, seeing the majority of people detained without a violent criminal record, they both have come to regret their votes.

“I feel shame, guilt and anger at the same time because of the promises that he made that he lied to us about, going after the worst of the worst,” George said. “He lied on those and he stole our vote.”

Worse will happen. Laura Loomer, one of Trump's former favorite talking heads, "joked" about 65 million people being thrown into Alligator Auschwitz.

That number, by the way, is the entirety of the Hispanic population in the US. I truly believe that the admin expects to make the US, at best, an apartheid state far worse than what it was. At worst, they're wanting a complete ethnostate a la Rhodesia.
