The Hill: Fearing Trump deportations, migrants start leaving US voluntarily

Fearing Trump deportations, migrants start leaving US voluntarily​

by Jorge Ventura 01/18/25 07:55 AM ET

Throughout the 2024 election cycle, President-elect Trump said he would carry out mass deportations once in office.

Some migrants are voluntarily choosing to leave the country ahead of Trump’s inauguration on Monday.

Immigration attorney Rolando Vasquez told NewsNation some of his clients who entered under the Biden administration are now choosing to return home, fearing deportation under the incoming administration.

It’s not just Trump’s deportation plans that have influenced these decisions.

Vazquez says Mexico is now open to accepting non-Mexican deportees. This move would affect Cuban and Venezuelan migrants the most since those countries typically do not accept deportation flights from the U.S. but may take them from Mexico.

“This is causing many migrants to leave on their own, knowing that they’re either going to be deported to their home country or be deported to Mexico,” Vazquez said. “The overwhelming majority of them do not want to be in Mexico.”

Sources in Mexico tell NewsNation it’s likely newly deported migrants will face exploitation, kidnapping or extortion from cartels and smugglers. As of right now, it’s unclear if Mexico has a plan to protect deported migrants.

Strong advocate for the Tribes steps down

after a term of good relations in her term of Secretary of the Interior. Wifey has a niece who is married to a Navajo who has praised her work. He has worked for that Department for years.

At a farewell speech in Washington D.C. this week, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland reflected on President Biden's formal apology last October for the U.S. government's historic assimilation policies and its Indian boarding school system. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, children were separated from families, with no full accounting of those who went missing or died.

"I believe we are in an era of healing," she told the crowd. "That healing has been among the most important things I have done as secretary."

Haaland went on to reflect on traveling with Biden to one of the most notorious boarding schools in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, now a national monument.

Wow! I thought Hillary was a bad candidate but Pocahontas is a new level of awful!

No ideas, just buying votes with a program that has ZERO chance of working economically or morally, more identity politics and hates police.
I have a better chance of getting the D nomination than her.

What a pathetic field of candidates. Can’t wait for the Trumpsters second term!

Help with a song - apologies for terrible description….

This is driving me crazy as I’ve only heard the full version with lyrics one time and cannot remember artist or title.

It’s a song they’ve been playing at EVERY college football stadium this season.

It sounds like some sort of mash up of a Russian folk song that Cossacks would dance too and a club hit?.
The music that goes like “da dunt da din! Da da da da dun!” And has kinda filthy lyrics, I think telling chicks to drop their pants.

Main riff sounds like horns or synthesized horns.

Anyone?

Can we agree that “If you get the vaccine you won’t get Covid” was government misinformation?

Well?

  • Yes, that was government misinformation.

    Votes: 33 82.5%
  • No, it was no misinformation despite being untrue.

    Votes: 4 10.0%
  • Maybe.

    Votes: 3 7.5%

Can we agree that “If you get the vaccine you won’t get Covid” was government misinformation?

If so, should Fauci & Biden be arrested like Harris, Walz, and Hillary Clinton suggest they should be?

Suspect quickly arrested after Iowa City bank robbery

A man who had told police he wanted to go to prison was arrested Friday on charges he flashed a gun to a teller at an Iowa City bank and told the teller “he would not go home tonight” if he didn’t hand over cash, authorities said.



A man identified in records as Nickoles Julio Deherrera, 39, from Boulder, Colorado, was being held in the Johnson County Jail on a first-degree robbery charge.

Iowa City police responded at 2:19 p.m. Friday to a robbery at Wells Fargo Bank, 103 E. College St. According to a criminal complaint, the robber handed a note to a teller demanding cash and threatening the teller -- pulling up his shirt to reveal “the wooden handle of a replica black power military style revolver.” The teller handed the robber about $1,000 in cash.




Police said the suspect was captured before and after the robbery on surveillance cameras, and they quickly arrested Deherrera at the Iowa City Public Library.


Court records show that, just a day before the bank robbery, Deherrera was released Thursday by a judge on his own recognizance after Iowa City police say they caught him stealing a tent and a bicycle from a Walmart on Wednesday.


“The defendant told an ICPD uniformed officer in the days prior to the robbery, he wanted to commit a bank robbery so he could go to prison,” according to the criminal complaint for the bank robbery.
