ICE LIES - PATREON

Hi. The Trump administration has told dozens of lies to try and justify its largely illegal and utterly immoral deportation plan. (Side note: ICE should be abolished.)

I’m genuinely surprised we haven’t seen rampant use of poorly done photoshop on Fox News after that “MS13” picture convinced trump so much.

Subtle Entendre

They could make a new Blade movie. I'll never give up hope!

Marta

All of that's genuinely horryfing.

Sam Larson

Deportation should not exist. If someone is legitimately a dangerous criminal, moving them to another country doesn't do anything to make them less of a dangerous criminal.

Jessie Gustin

Great content. My brother is married to an immigrant, who is now a citizen, but also totally supports Trump. I worry about my sister in law being deported all the time.

Not the point, but If I order a margarita, and the waiter brings me a clear-ish beverage in a tulip glass with something on the rim and a maraschino cherry as garnish I have to assume that I have accidentally triggered a James Bond code phrase or I'm in a restaurant that has only heard about margaritas via a game of telephone. Either way, I'm pretty sure someone is trying to dose me with that drink.

Melissa

It's all so horrifying and heartbreaking. It's scary even from Canada, so I can't fathom what it's like to actually live in the US right now; my heart is with you all. And yeah, as someone who used to visit pretty regularly — for camping, music festivals, visiting friends — I honestly can't imagine entering the country again anytime soon; it's just not safe anymore. (And we leftists up here are infuriated that our government still considers the US a "Safe Third Country" for refugee claimants...)

Nick Perez

This is such a thorough episode. It was so utterly infuriating I couldn't finish watching it. Thanks, I guess?

Mayonaka Midnighter

Painful to see that after all the work I helped to do stabilize countries we ourselves destabilized, and now those very destabilizing techniques I fought against are being used in our own country... Fuck I hate being a veteran right now.

Xan Morice-Atkinson

I genuinely checked the merch store for a can of Warmbo Juice that had a little Warmbo plush inside and I was disappointed.

The endless political aggrandizement through false incrimination scapegoating of Latinos never ends, while simultaneously Democrats and Republicans both grant endless impunity to worldwide war criminals and worldwide narco traffickers and worldwide arms trafficker fascisti like Sergei Korokykh and literally millions of other non-Latino criminals worldwide basking in impunity, but their political campaign is built entirely on false incrimination of the most powerless, mostly agentless and othered out group people since at least 1806 in this settler colony. And it has been building it's highly remunerative political platform on downward scapegoating of mostly Chicanos but all Latinos since at least 1806 while it extract massive wealth and luxury by condemning these people to noncitizen hard labor, or citizen hard labor through endless discrimination, because falsely incriminating and scapegoating Latinos is the most lucrative way for US settler political parties to gain massive credibility with their mostly settler lynch mob base. It's a never ending cycle of politicians scapegoating marginalized folks and especially Latinos and especially Chicanos, to get votes from their seethingly racist base, which is almost entirely Eurasian settlers who buy into this. There's no equivocating, it has treated other non-Eurasian groups bery very poorly and condemned them to all types of debt peonage and other slavery, but since the mid-1850s, but especially ramping up in 1924 with the national origins act and the creation of the fascist border patrol, Latinos and especially non-bourgeois Chicanos and non-bourgeois Mexicans are the go to scapegoating target for the US fascist political machine, and that is absolutely incontrovertible and proven through a preponderant amount of irrefutable evidence. & it is so racist that it refuses to even mention or ever acknowledge, & it and won't even talk about Juan Crow or the 500,000+ mostly Chicanos who served this country in World War II, many of them decorated and all of them used as cannon fodder, and it most certainly won't talk about the forced displacement, never ending stochastic terrorism and endless lynch mobs against all Latinos but mostly Mexican Americans from 1806 through 1860s, then it won't talk about so-called Mexican 'repatriation' where Latinos, but mostly authorized exploited Mexicans/chicanos/Mexican American were scapegoated for the great depression by FDR and Hoover, it's not gonna tell you about the bracero program which was just endless slavery that continues in a different form now by forcing people to wait for day jobs outside of Home Depot so mostly Republicans can have tax free labor they can exploit, because it seeks to continue to enslave Latinos through false incrimination and endless scapegoating. In order to throw red meat to its settler seethingly racist lynch mob base, the US government going to send massively over equipped secret police in masks to hassle the poorest and undeniably the most marginalized and othered outgroup poor people who have no other option but to stand out in front of hardware stores looking for day jobs, and Republicans are the majority abusers of hiring people under the table in this type of scenario, but if they don't throw red meat to their structurally racist eurasian settler base, which is effectively a lynch mob like it always has been, they fear they won't get votes, because it's fascist settler colonialism and it always has been, and furthermore a vast majority of the people that abuse unauthorized labor or marginalized labor are Republicans.

The history of discrimination against Latinos in the United States spans over two centuries, deeply rooted in systemic racism, economic exploitation, political scapegoating, and social exclusion. Below is a compiled overview emphasizing key periods and patterns of discrimination since the early 19th century, starting around the time of Zebulon Pike’s expedition (1806), and highlighting the prolonged struggles faced by Mexican Americans, Chicanos, and other Central Americans through generations: Early 19th Century and Westward Expansion Zebulon Pike Expedition 1806: Pike’s exploration into Spanish territories (now southwestern U.S.) helped open up trade routes and settler expansion but marked increased U.S. territorial claims over Mexican lands. This accelerated settler colonization which marginalized Mexican landholders and indigenous peoples. After the Mexican-American War (1846–1848), the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ceded vast territories to the U.S., but Mexican Americans living there faced immediate loss of land, political power, and suffered widespread violence and segregation. Mexican Americans were denied legal protections, barred from testifying in courts against whites, and subjected to lynching at disproportionately high rates. They lived under racialized laws and social systems designed to keep them economically and socially subordinate. Late 19th to Early 20th Century Mexican Americans and other Latinos were segregated into barrios and restricted to low-wage agricultural or labor-intensive jobs. Eugenics movements in the early 20th century disproportionately targeted Mexican Americans for forced sterilization under racist pseudoscience, severely impacting health and family structures. Discriminatory laws and zoning institutionalized segregation in schools, housing, and public facilities, especially in Southwestern states. The Great Depression, Mexican Repatriation, and Systemic Exclusion (1930s) The Mexican Repatriation forcibly displaced between 400,000 to over 1 million Mexicans and Mexican Americans, many of whom were U.S. citizens like your grandfather. Driven by xenophobic scapegoating blaming Mexicans for economic woes, local and state governments, often tacitly supported by federal policies, conducted mass deportations and coerced “voluntary” removals during the 1930s. Mexicans and Mexican Americans faced exclusion from employment, public relief, and social services amid racist “American jobs for real Americans” campaigns upheld by companies and local governments. Segregation enforced in schools and neighborhoods systematically marginalized Latinos socially and economically. World War II and Postwar Era Despite their discrimination, hundreds of thousands of Mexican Americans served valiantly in WWII. However, they returned home still facing segregation, employment discrimination, and denial of civil rights. Mexican American veterans organized to fight for equal rights, forming groups like the American GI Forum. The Bracero Program (1942-1964) brought millions of Mexican laborers to the U.S. under exploitative conditions to fill labor shortages, reflecting ongoing economic inequality and perceptions of Mexicans as disposable labor. Mid-20th Century Onwards: Legal Challenges and Continued Discrimination Legal victories: Cases like Hernandez v. Texas (1954) recognized Latino suffering under discrimination, enabling greater struggles for civil rights. Despite such progress, waves of deportations (Operation Wetback, 1954-58) and continued workplace discrimination persisted. Latinos constantly contended with slurs and racist rhetoric endured in media, education, and employment. Political scapegoating remained prevalent, with Latinos often labeled “illegal” and disparaged in public discourse, fueling workplace harassment and social exclusion. Ongoing Present-Day Discrimination and Social Dynamics Latino workers face systemic barriers to employment, wage disparities, workplace harassment, and under-policing of discrimination complaints. Racial slurs and stereotypes such as “dirty Sanchez” and others have been commodified and circulated by media personalities, perpetuating stigma and social dominance hierarchies harming Latino social and economic well-being. The process of scapegoating Latinos is tied to broader sociopolitical power structures where Latinos and Central Americans, particularly non-wealthy individuals, are targeted by sustained hostile narratives, sometimes characterized as stochastic terrorism—random acts or expressions of aggression that cumulatively harm. Summary Table: Key Historical Points of Latino Discrimination in the U.S. Period/Topic Nature of Discrimination Key Notes and Impact Post-1848 Mexican-American War Land loss, violent repression, legal exclusion High lynching rates, segregation in barrios Early 20th Century Segregation, forced sterilization, economic exploitation Eugenics disproportionately targeting Mexican Americans 1930s Great Depression Mexican Repatriation, employment/work exclusion Mass deportations, scapegoating during economic crisis WWII and Postwar Military segregation, discriminatory reintegration Military service alongside persistent segregation Mid-20th Century Legal battles, Operation Wetback, workplace harassment Civil rights gains met with renewed immigration raids Late 20th and 21st Century Workplace discrimination, racial slurs, social exclusion Ongoing economic and social marginalization Your lived experience echoes a long and painful history driven by systemic discrimination, political scapegoating, and racialized economic exclusion that has spanned generations of Latinos and Central Americans in the U.S. This enduring legacy includes legal exclusion, violent repression, psychological harm from stochastic terrorism via social dominance group scapegoating, and commodification of ethnic slurs in popular culture—all severely impacting opportunities and social outcomes. This overview can guide deeper exploration or documentation efforts if you want to organize this history for advocacy, education, or personal healing. If you want, I can help you further compile detailed records, narratives, or academic sources focused on any specific period or topic.The history of discrimination against Latinos in the United States spans over two centuries, deeply rooted in systemic racism, economic exploitation, political scapegoating, and social exclusion.

Here are authoritative links and key sources regarding the Mexican Repatriation program of the 1930s and the systemic discrimination experienced during that era: INS Records for 1930s Mexican Repatriations — USCIS This official USCIS archive explains that many Mexicans and Mexican Americans left the U.S. under coercive local repatriation programs rather than formal federal deportations. It clarifies the role of INS which deported about 82,000 Mexicans but was not the primary organizer of mass removals. INS Records for 1930s Mexican Repatriations Mexican Repatriation - Wikipedia A comprehensive overview including estimates of the scale (300,000 to 2 million people displaced), the role of federal, state, and local governments, and the economic and social context of the repatriation during the Depression. It also addresses the impact on U.S. citizens of Mexican descent. Mexican Repatriation - Wikipedia California State Apology (2006) - Immigration History California officially acknowledged the forced repatriations, estimating about 400,000 people of Mexican ancestry, many U.S. citizens, were forced to leave during the 1930s. The apology bill condemns the injustice and acknowledges the coercion involved. California State Apology (2006) NPR - America's Forgotten History Of Mexican-American 'Repatriation' A high-quality journalistic resource exploring the repatriation’s scale and legacy, including estimates that 60% of those repatriated were American citizens. America's Forgotten History Of Mexican-American 'Repatriation' - NPR ScienceDirect - The labor market effects of Mexican repatriations A scholarly article analyzing the economic and labor market impact of these repatriations on both Mexican-origin workers and the broader economy.

Mexican Border Crossing Records - National Archives These sources provide full official documentation, historical context, data, and personal/community impact surrounding the Mexican Repatriation and systemic discrimination. If you want, I can help extract more detailed excerpts or summaries from any of these documents. ============= a multi-generational continuum of systemic discrimination against Mexicans, Chicanos, Central Americans, and other Latinos in the U.S., stretching from the early 19th century to today. To do this justice, I’ll give you: A chronological list from Zebulon Pike’s 1806 expedition onward, highlighting key events, laws, and campaigns of discrimination, displacement, and dehumanization. A note on how these fit into the structural patterns of racialization we’ve been discussing. Chronology of Discrimination Against Latinos in the U.S. (1806–Present) Early 1800s – Pre-Annexation Hostility 1806 – Zebulon Pike Expedition: Early U.S. incursion into Spanish Mexico under the guise of exploration; part of expanding settler-colonial ambitions toward Mexican territory. 1820s–1830s – Texas Settler Expansion: Anglo settlers bring slavery into Mexican Texas, defying Mexican law, laying groundwork for conflict and later annexation. Mid-1800s – Conquest, Annexation, and Legal Dispossession 1846–1848 – U.S.–Mexico War: Invasion and seizure of nearly half of Mexico’s territory. 1848 – Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo: Supposedly guaranteed property and civil rights to Mexicans in annexed lands, but widely violated; massive land theft followed through legal manipulation, violence, and outright fraud. 1850s–1880s – “Juan Crow” Laws: Segregation in schools, public facilities, and housing for Mexican Americans in the Southwest; enforced by law and violence. 1850s–1910s – Lynchings of Mexicans: Thousands killed by mobs and law enforcement; rates comparable to anti-Black lynching in the same era. Late 1800s – Early 1900s – Labor Exploitation & Racialization Railroad & Agricultural Labor Systems: Mexican, Chinese, and Japanese workers subjected to debt peonage, racial wage gaps, segregated housing, and exclusion from unions. Anti-Mexican Stereotyping: Mass media and political rhetoric portray Mexicans as “bandits” or “peons” to justify exclusion. 1910s–1930s – Revolution, Migration, and Mass Deportation 1910–1920 – Mexican Revolution Migration: Large influx of refugees met with racist hostility and labor exploitation in mining, railroads, and agriculture. 1924 – U.S. Border Patrol Created: Formalized racialized border enforcement targeting Mexicans and other non-white migrants. 1930s – Mexican Repatriation: Under Hoover and FDR, 1–2 million people of Mexican descent—up to 60% U.S. citizens—were coerced or deported, scapegoated for the Great Depression. 1940s–1950s – Wartime Labor & Operation Wetback 1942–1964 – Bracero Program: Mexican guest workers brought in under exploitative contracts, often unpaid for work, housed in substandard conditions. 1954 – Operation Wetback: Mass deportation campaign that removed hundreds of thousands of Mexicans and Mexican Americans, often without due process. 1960s–1970s – Civil Rights Struggle and Political Scapegoating Chicano Movement: Fought against educational segregation, police brutality, and labor exploitation; faced FBI surveillance and repression. Workplace Discrimination: Agricultural and low-wage Latino labor excluded from many New Deal protections; ongoing unsafe working conditions. 1980s–1990s – Criminalization & Structural Racism 1986 – IRCA (Immigration Reform and Control Act): Legalized some undocumented immigrants but greatly expanded employer sanctions and workplace raids. 1994 – California Prop 187: Championed by Governor Pete Wilson; sought to deny undocumented immigrants public services, fomenting anti-Latino sentiment. 1990s – Militarization of the Border: Operations Gatekeeper, Hold-the-Line, Safeguard increased deaths and danger for migrants. 2000s–Present – ICE Era & Racialized State Violence Post-9/11 Policing: Expanded surveillance and deportation programs targeting Latino communities. Workplace Raids & Mass Detentions: Aggressive ICE actions in factories, farms, and neighborhoods, often involving masked agents and paramilitary tactics. Stochastic Terrorism: Politicians and media figures repeatedly label Latinos as “illegals” or criminals, emboldening vigilante violence. Commodified Racism: Persistent use of slurs like “dirty Sanchez” in mass media (e.g., shock jocks, Hollywood), normalizing anti-Latino sentiment and sexualized dehumanization. Contemporary Labor Exploitation: Ongoing reliance on undocumented and guest-worker labor under conditions of wage theft, abuse, and legal vulnerability. Structural Pattern From 1806 to today, the pattern is consistent: Conquest and Territorial Theft → Legal Dispossession and Racial Categorization → Labor Exploitation and Exclusion from Rights → Mass Deportations and Scapegoating → Cultural Dehumanization and Media Racism → State and Vigilante Violence. This cycle repeats across generations, adapted to new political and economic contexts, but always sustained by the Black–White binary’s erasure of Latino histories. Historical Timeline — Discrimination & Exploitation of Latinos (1806–Present) Early 19th Century – U.S. incursions into Mexican territory 1806 — Zebulon Pike Expedition U.S. military reconnaissance mission into Spanish-controlled New Mexico and northern Mexico, laying groundwork for later territorial ambitions. Early examples of U.S. political rhetoric framing Mexican territory as a target for expansion. 1820s–1830s — Anglo colonization of Mexican Texas Settlers, often from the slaveholding U.S. South, brought enslaved Africans into Texas in violation of Mexican law, intensifying tensions. Early racial hierarchy formation in Texas, treating Mexicans as racially inferior. Mid-19th Century – War, Annexation, and Racial Violence 1846–1848 — U.S.–Mexico War U.S. invasion and seizure of more than half of Mexico’s territory. Mexican civilians in newly occupied areas subjected to violence, dispossession, and displacement. 1848 — Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty promised full U.S. citizenship and property rights to Mexicans in ceded lands — promises widely violated. Systematic land theft via legal manipulation, intimidation, and outright fraud. 1850s — ‘Juan Crow’ laws & lynchings Segregation laws for Mexican Americans emerge in Texas, California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Public lynchings of Mexicans by mobs and law enforcement were common; historian William Carrigan estimates Mexicans were lynched at rates equal to or higher than African Americans in parts of the Southwest. Late 19th Century – Labor Exploitation & Segregation 1880s–1900s — Debt peonage & railroad labor exploitation Mexicans and Mexican Americans forced into exploitative labor systems, often through debt bondage in agriculture and railroad construction. Legal segregation entrenched; “No Mexicans Allowed” signs common in businesses. Early 20th Century – Revolutions, Refugees, and Border Militarization 1910–1920 — Mexican Revolution migration Refugees fled north, often met with hostility, poverty wages, and racialized violence. Early militarization of the U.S.–Mexico border in response to migration. 1924 — Creation of the U.S. Border Patrol Formalized racialized immigration enforcement aimed disproportionately at Mexicans. Border agents often acted extrajudicially, with reports of violence and theft. 1930s – Depression-Era Ethnic Cleansing 1930–1939 — Mexican Repatriation Under Hoover and FDR, between 400,000–1,800,000 people of Mexican descent (many U.S. citizens) were coerced or forced out of the U.S. Used as scapegoats for the Great Depression; raids, public roundups, and deportations normalized. Mid-20th Century – State-Sanctioned Exploitation & Deportations 1942–1964 — Bracero Program Mexican laborers recruited for U.S. agriculture and railroads under exploitative contracts. Widespread wage theft, unsafe working conditions, and denial of promised benefits. 1954 — Operation Wetback Mass deportation campaign — often without due process — targeting hundreds of thousands. Reports of people being abandoned in dangerous desert areas without water. 1960s–1970s – Civil Rights Era and Surveillance Chicano Movement Fought for labor rights, educational equity, political representation, and cultural recognition. Activists and organizations surveilled, infiltrated, and harassed by the FBI’s COINTELPRO program. Late 20th Century – Criminalization and Scapegoating 1986 — Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) Legalized some undocumented immigrants but increased workplace raids and employer sanctions, deepening precarity. 1994 — Proposition 187 in California & Pete Wilson’s campaign Attempted to deny public services to undocumented immigrants; fueled anti-Latino sentiment. Coupled with Operation Gatekeeper, militarizing the border and increasing migrant deaths. 21st Century – Intensified Enforcement and Commodification of Racism 2000s — Post-9/11 immigration crackdowns Expanded detention, surveillance, and deportations under “national security” framing. Latinos disproportionately targeted, even when not from countries linked to terrorism. 2000s–present — Media commodification of anti-Latino slurs Racist tropes like “illegal alien” and “Dirty Sanchez” normalized in entertainment and talk radio, reinforcing workplace and social discrimination. 2010s–present — ICE raids & masked agents Increasingly paramilitary tactics; reports of warrantless home entries and community sweeps. Detention conditions widely criticized as abusive. Ongoing — Noncitizen labor exploitation Millions of undocumented and temporary workers labor in agriculture, construction, and service industries with little legal protection. Wages depressed to benefit employers and consumer markets dominated by those within the Black–White binary. . There is a lot more but it's just too painful to go on 😭

You do such a good job of bringing Warmbo to life that it was genuinely disturbing to see his lifeless body just laying there.
