What's interesting about this case is that she's an illegal who was deported years ago but snuck back in anyway. Did she forget about her illegal status? Or did she think she would be spared by supporting Trump?

The cynical answer is she thought the would be spared because she's white.
The straight answer is that Trump told people the country was being overrun by criminals and gang members whom he would deport. People who bought that story thought those who didn't fit that description would be safe.
Well, the thing about being a criminal is that it means you’ve been convicted of a crime.
Trump is a criminal. But he was born in the US to US citizens.
The goal is to make all sorts of things crimes such that it’s almost impossible to function in the US as a foreigner without committing a crime. At that point, the government can choose the people to deport at their whim.
Since birthright citizenship is being struck down, and this government interprets the constitution as only applicable to citizens, expect Trump to attempt again to pass legislation for more types of citizenship nullification.
One tricky bit is, if you’re declared legally dead, you immediately become an illegal resident if you’re still alive. And DOGE has already declared a number of people dead by misinterpreting a few databases.

I can almost imagine this being written by Douglas adams, but the consequences a little too depressing. You know, in contrast to the complete destruction of the earth
God, I just wish I could hitch a ride and slam some pan galactic gargle blasters for a while :(
Instead we’re stuck listening to Vogon poetry.
Best I can do is a lemon peel wrapped' round a gold brick.

Spared for sure. Like many legal citizens will think when the BBB hits, they will 100% blame dems but it'll be Trump polices that will bite them. They are just too ignorant to realize.
Are those things going to be timed to hit after the mid-terms like many suspect?
100% correct
The cynical answer is she thought the would be spared because she’s white.
I'm unsure about that? Or at least if the likes of Stephen Miller would consider her "white"? She's married to someone with the last name of "Olivera". I'm not sure what her maiden name is, but even the "crime" of marrying outside the white race might be enough at some future stage of this...
I think this reply was meant for an adjacent comment

The fuck did any of them think this meant?
Wonder if the sign-holder voted for deporting brown people, but is possibly making use of Medicaid/Medicare?
She's in a wheelchair but not a really nice wheel chair. I'd say the odds are pretty fucking good.
That lady is a sleep paralysis demon.
Or just a paralysis demon
HAH! I see what you did there, lol

Only the mass weight of the criminals obviously, they love science!
"I thought this would happen to OTHER people and I was all for fucking up other people's lives! Not MINE!"
They keep saying "criminals," even in this story. Some of them are US citizens, one of them was 4. I'm pretty sure a 4 year old isn't a criminal. Also, with no due process, we don't know shit if they're criminals or not. This is a money grabbing grift that is disappearing people, probably to death.
In Christian fascist America, 4 years old is old enough for the mines and marriage.
Pro tip: yes, you did vote for this, moron!
They literally wrote a playbook that included all the evil shit they were going to do.
Awww sorry did you think Trump just meant blacks, latinos and middle easterners? My heartfelt condolences...🎻
Don't forget the thoughts and prayers, that really does the job right
“The only crime I committed is to love this country and to work hard and to provide for my kids,” she said.
Um... those aren't crimes, are they? I mean, things are changing fast under Trump, but these aren't really crimes yet, are they?

Get fucked, magats. Have the day you voted for.
I'll bet 1 internet point that they never vote anyone but republican for the rest of their lives even after this. The ones who don't get deported of course.
Good. Nice to see some early adopters on video! Those selfish assholes got their comeuppance even before their cult leader ruins eveyone else's lives. So happy for them, would have loved to see her announce the great news to her kids!
Seriously tho, MAGAts are a danger to themselves, their kids, and other people's kids too; Child Proctection Services should be all over their asses!
Something something, not hurting the right people huh? Look.... Don't take too much from this. Last time around we heard the same stories, and yet they voted for him again and again in ever increasing numbers. For every one or two that drop support, several take their place. Hatred and stupidity. It's just how we were raised.
Ok, so besides the violin memes and everything, where is the alternative political power, the Democrafts, the Left, whoever, that is going out and making a big show of protecting people so when shit like this happens, the MAGAs in the neighbouring houses think long and hard about who is protecting them and who is attacking them?
Laughing at these people is not going to break them away from voting this in again.
Fuck all these people straight to hell. I'm for either stripping Trump states of statehood, turning them into commonwealths where they can pay for their own social security and medical coverage (because right now, the vast majority of them don't), or going back to 1870 and sending in the Union cavalry to fucking keep them the fuck out of politics, allowing black people and immigrants to vote, etc. What horrible people. Fuck you and your grandmother too.
Change? They must have also voted for Obama then I'm sure.
"He isn't hurting the 'right people‽‽‽'"
-Fucking idiots that I told not to vote for him, but now their family members are disappearing.
I thought that thumbnail was OG Chris Crocker 😂
Leave ~~Britney~~ ME alone!
LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!
I have more respect for Chris than trump voters
stupid cunt
So, a couple of things... Yes, their fault for being Trump supporters...
But also... She's 45, she came here when she was 10. She's had THIRTY-FIVE YEARS to become a US Citizen.
It does take an insane amount of time to work through the citizenship process, but it doesn't take 35 damn years. Especially not after marrying a US citizen.
