Against the Mass Deportation Machine in the Sky
1Description
Trump and Hegseth have declared that with the renamed Dept. of War, the U.S. is "going on offense." Sam digests this, along with the news that unknown people have been murdered by this "most lethal" military through random strikes on boats recently near Venezuela and during Trump 1.0 just off the coast with North Korea. Then, she speaks with flight attendant and organizer Alex Roberts about organizing efforts to remove the airline industry from participation in ICE's mass deportation efforts. Read his piece Commercial airlines are for consumers and cargo, not ICE deportations in The Tennessean and sign the petition Stop Commercial Airlines from Operating Deportation Flights.
