god Ilya and Yuna is such a dynamics that could be prize winning if you let it be. I totally reject that Yuna calls him her favorite son because her first son will always be Shane!!! What is far more interesting is the world where he really isn’t her son in law so much as her friend and confidante as well as now a part of the horrifically messy family business that is the way Team Hollander navigate the NHL and what really really made that dynamic snap into place for me is the realization that

a) the moment that photo leaked Ilya would have been in immigration hell free fall. He’s a Russian immigrant in the U.S. under a sports visa run by the state of Russia I promise they are canceling that shit immediately

b) Yuna would be the first person he goes to. Not because he loves her the most. But because she’s the first person he keep can think of that might be able to do something about that situation and yunas the one who will pat his hair one handed while she texts all the highly esteemed immigration lawyers in the Asian diaspora grapevine about filing for emergency asylum.

It is intellectually dishonest to call the slave labor trade trump is engaged in "deportations."

He's not sending anyone home to their country of origin, he's sending them to Central & Latin American prison camps and Guantanamo Bay.

That isn't "deportation."

It's just regular old human trafficking. They aren't being "deported", they are being enslaved.

Most of these people have never been charged nor convicted of any crime. The government just pointed a finger at them and called them gang members and terrorists. And now they're gone.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying US prisons are better, but there is an immense layer of additional cruelty in sending them to foreign soil where it's astronomically harder for their families to defend them or even find them at all.

gosh, the vivziepop critical communitity is so toxic and hates vivziepop for the wrong reasons. i don't support her but hate her for a correct reason.

also just don't wish her to be deported or executed? i thought that it was common sense to not wish those things upon other people? where did the common sense go with this community.

Ice is now going for foster children 🗿

First of all, where are these kids going??? A lot of these kids either lost their parents, was abandoned, had been taken from other families already getting deported, or had to be taken from abusive families in order to live in safer homes. What tf are they gonna do to these kids???

These aren’t criminals, no trump lover has an argument to excuse this because there’s no bio parent there to ‘blame’. And the foster families are forced to watch these kids they likely wanted to adopt be gathered and sent to God knows where.

This isn’t even negligent, this is just some Nazi shit, and I don’t like throwing the word ‘Nazi’ around.

sys culture is trying make a plan of what to do if ice takes us (we are a legal immigrant) but being frightened of what might happen if an alter who doesnt know the plan fronts. or an alter that has little overlapping memory.

i wish we were kidding. our plan was to count rvery second we were in the ice truck or whatever, try to keep track of time, but when we switch we cant keep track of basically anything. dunno what to do tbh LOL

Good morning! You guys ever talk to your parents about politics?

First time my mom and I have talked for two weeks and she said “I’m choosing to believe it will all be fine 🙂”

So a Korean university forcibly "deported" (in quotes because they obviously don't have the authority to deport anybody) 22 Uzbekistani students who were enrolled in their Korean language program.

The policy for the visa they had requires that they maintain 10,000,000 KRW balance in a bank account for 3 months, but the university didn't notify the students properly, so they didn't know and withdrew the money to spend.

This policy doesn't make sense to begin with. While many countries require bank statements for visa approval, that is to make sure that the applicant has enough money to afford the high initial cost of settling into a foreign country, i. e. you're expected to spend that money once you arrive. That's what the bank balance requirement is usually for. So making people keep that money sitting in the bank for three whole months (which is the duration of this language learning program) makes no sense. Whenever I studied abroad or did semi-long stays overseas, never once was I expected to re-prove I still had that money after I'd arrived in that country.

But that aside, this was obviously a mistake on the school administration's part. And the Department of Justice wouldn't even have deported the students or penalized them at all; they would have been given some grace period to restore eligibility, and it could have all worked out okay. If the school was concerned for their students and was honest about their mistake, which it obviously was not.

Instead, the school hired private security and lied to the students that they had to go to the immigration office to get Foreigner Registration Cards. Since that card is for foreigners staying over 90 days, it is unlikely that it would even be applicable to students doing a 3-month program, but I guess a lie doesn't need to make sense. Once they got on the bus, they went to the airport and threatened them into taking a flight out of the country. They literally bought tickets for the private security staff so that they can follow the students all the way to the gate to make sure they got on that plane.

The school then promptly expelled them all for "leaving without permission" (after forcing them to leave) and refused to refund the tuition unless they signed a document saying they left voluntarily. Not to mention that the students' belongings were all left in the school dorm because the school lied and didn't give them time to pack up. It is so devastating and infuriating.

This is so evil, and I really do believe that they would not have done this to students from "first world" nations.

Hanshin University still has "Progressive university ahead of the time and leading the world" slogan on their website front page.

I don't even know what to say. I'm mad and baffled.
