gotta say I did not anticipate ICE goons going after the whitest possible immigrants with American families, jobs, and in good standing legally. a freaking Danish-born welder in Mississippi with four blonde kids and a pregnant wife. just omnidirectional hate

obviously that doesn't mean he should get treated better and surely non-white folks are getting it worse on average. but it shows you these people don't even believe in their white nationalist bullshit when it conflicts with their desire to stomp on helpless innocents

As someone who's been pretty tired of hearing "but you're white!" when I express concerns about him... I really wish they'd cared earlier! 🫠

Yeah but it does mean we should probably trumpet this shit everywhere, it’s our best chance to push actual racists off the harmful policy without litigating their beliefs

This family is doing everything right by the standards of the Christian Nationalist crowd too. Stay at home mom, 4 kids plus another on the way, homeschooling. Thank goodness for the people in their community who exemplify how America values immigration and the benefits to our country.

They have quotas to hit and they can’t find the brown/black people or have run out of cases to do so, so they’re pivoting. Pretty clear from the German/Canadian/Russian stuff happening as people try to come in to the country. Good luck to summer tourism and the WC in 2026

At least one sent to the El Salvador gulag was a tourist. Yes, they are sending people legally in the US to ICE detention or a gulag over a mistake on a form, how much luggage they brought, a tattoos, sports team clothing etc.

No, not because of doge. DHS has been spending like drunken sailors, they’ve never put so much money or personnel into enforcement actions like this. The ICE arrest quotas are just straight up psychotic

all of these cautionary tales about people going to their appointments and trying to follow the rules and jump through the hoops, they may not have the ability to chase down everyone who is avoiding them

Hands tied? No! Cowardice on display! Following orders won’t save their arses when the time comes, and I must live long enough to see that day!! Their kids will know them for the cowardly slime they are. No redemption for domestic terrorists!

They've gone after people with legal status more than undocumented afaict bc of that. Just not what I would've guessed. They do seem to be avoiding workplace/farm raids as well.

Might also be strategic? By deporting the more law-abiding immigrants first, it both helps them goose their numbers, & means the remaining immigrants are more likely to be criminals, which could help turn public sentiment against them. Normal ppl w normal goals think doing it this way is crazy.

Also suggests there are a lot of crossed wires and competing agendas. Would not surprise me to see this guy quickly released. Kind of how some of the most egregious Russian plots are policy entrepreneurs operating without oversight, just hoping to come up with something that impresses Putin.

I keep thinking the underlying principle is isolationism. No trade with the outside world, no movies (100% tariff), no immigrants, no visitors. A hermit kingdom organized around revering its king a la North Korea.

They need the numbers to add up! They promised their people millions gone in the first 100 days and it didn’t happen. So now it’s just anybody walking down the damn street! It’s sickening

He’s got 4 kids, which probably cost him and his wife tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills all in. In Denmark it would have been vastly cheaper, and the family leave after much more generous. (Mississippi doesn’t require any family leave)

The problem is quotas. ICE officers have daily quotas. Any time a law-enforcement operation tries to meet quotas, there will be lawlessness BY those supposedly upholding the law. Others who did EVERYTHING RIGHT have also been arrested while obtaining green cards or citizenship because of ICE quotas.

A society under a Mass Psychosis can degenerate to a point where scapegoats can be made from all groups (but leaving out Wall Street financiers & finance oligarchs who wrecked many lives by sending industry jobs overseas over the past few decades).

In ten years all of them will laugh and remember that moving to Denmark was the best thing that could happen to them in their lives. Especially when you have 5 or six kids and need health insurance and want university degrees.

As I believe the article mentions, it’s much more efficient for them to seize the people following the rules There’s no way they can reach the numbers they promised without sweeping all of them

Greenland is a territory of Denmark, so they may be targeting Danes for not capitulating to US takeover. Had he been Afrikaner, on the other hand, he would have been fast tracked to citizenship.

Having known many wonderful Danes, in fact hailing from Danes myself, I don't think attacking Danes in general is a good idea at all. My ancestors had names like 'Sigur Snake In the Eye' and 'Gorm the Old'. Serious bone breakers, all. You think 'Trump the Orange' is going to scare them? No.

Are the Afrikaners seeing this? I would not be immigrating to this country right now unless it was a matter of life or death. They're trying to drive up the deportation numbers anyway they can.

well apparently the 10 million illegals who crossed the border every day during bidens administration are too hard to find... much easier to stake out immigration offices... btw...10 million per day, for 4 years is 14.6 billion...you think it would be easy to round up a few of those

So easy to trash Kasper cause he wanted Trump elected, but I am sorry for him getting caught in some DOGE geek looking for a technical reason to arrest anyone on the most minor issue. I’m hopeful that he & Sturgis is getting an education on Trump & having more empathy for other humans.

I believe this man is originally from Denmark. The Danes refused to “sell” Greenland to the USA & then mocked Trump. Coincidence? Maybe…maybe not. Trump & his entire Cabal have demonstrated an alarming propensity for, & obsession with, retribution—as well as intentional & unnecessary cruelty.

I didn't see that in the article, did they mention that in a different one? I didn't see that he had voted for Trump, he didn't seem to mention it. I could have missed it though. Did they say that in the article?

That's the thing though, he's stuck in detention in Memphis and they don't even know if he's going to be deported. There's also the possibility he could be deported to a third country like others.

I'll guess that Trump wants to report big numbers. He'll say they were all criminals because he makes everything up to back up what he wants us to think. Homan knew the process is slow, but clearly he is more concerned with following decrees.

Thank for posting @ryanlcooper.com - more monstrous arrests from ICE / MAGA / White House / Republicans “…Kasper has never been charged with or convicted of any crime. He has not been accused of being a member of MS-13 or Tren de Aragua…

Every once in a while they have to pull in a super white so they can claim it’s not just brown immigrants that they hate. I mean, why are they not all in Denmark anyway. Do they not know how nice it is in Denmark? I’ve never been to Denmark but I can’t say I wouldn’t go if I were invited.

You have to produce sons for the fatherland. How can you vote fascist when your partner is not nationalised? My thoughts and prayers are with the family. ( I’m Jedi by the way)

Please don’t let it be a case of ICE saying, “See? We can be cruel to white people, too. We’re an equal-opportunity abuser.” And people have the nerve to call the immigration apparatus heartless and inhumane.

Fascist style Nationalists do not care about perception, they care only about their idea of "purity", the non-white members of the government would be wise to realize their time is only delayed, but the fascists will come for them eventually as well.

On paper this is what the hypocritical racists on the right say they want, come here, work, start a family, assimilate, get your citizenship, but that's all a big lie. If you weren't born here, and if you aren't white, they want you gone, whether its today, tomorrow, next year, or in 10 years.

We already saw them detaining white tourists from Europe and Canada earlier this year, they do not care about the ethnicity of immigrants unless those immigrants are rich, then they're safe for as long as they're useful. To these people everyone who isn't them is an "other".

Citizenship hearings must seem like shooting fish in a barrel. Hard to make a case that the immigrant is here "illegally" though. The cruelty is the point.

So if a few white Trump supporters from Mississippi get caught in the nets mostly designed to target people of color, welp that's the Trump GOP's cost of doing nefarious business. #ImpeachTrump #AbolishICE

Apparently, he is still being held at the LaSalle Detention Facility in Jena, Louisiana. Eriksen and his family are concerned about the "lack of transparency and due process in his case," which is incredibly ironic given his pro-MAGA cheering he posted on his social media.

They've gotta make the numbers, & the criminals they talk about are thin on the ground. So they are choosing the easiest people to pick off--people turning up at immigration hearings, going about their jobs, picking their kids up from school, etc. Gotta give Stephen Miller & Kristi Noam fresh porn.

I fear somewhere someone is going to start taking some ICE agents out. ICE is disappearing people forever in some hellhole prison. What do the victims have to lose? Their lives are already destroyed and over. Desperate people do desperate things. NOT a threat. Just something I fear will happen.

The key is “Danish-born”. Denmark has been on Trump’s enemies list since they pushed back so forcefully against his Greenland demands. This is the sort of behavior that will horrify Danes and serve as the sort of petty revenge Trump glories in.

Well, he's Danish, and Trump hates them because they won't just hand over Greenland, and also, he apparently was very pro-Trump and posted at least one fanboy video to YouTube. So there's that.

During the first week of mass deportation, they deported 49 Norwegians. That made the press in Norway, but the take was more “who tf are these 49 idiots?!” Making yourself a criminal to get into USA of all places!

The unifying theme of the current administration is bullying. Bullies often pick targets of convenience. A high school bully might have a grudge against a particular group. But they will pick any convenient victim and give them a swirly if they feel the need to give someone a swirly.

I-457 is not just any form. It’s the one you fill to get your “real” green card. Mostly needed if you married a US citizen and got a GC based on that marriage within two years. It’s a MAJOR application that requires a ton of evidence proving your marriage is legit. Not filing that is quite an issue.

I’m not making excuses for this, someone should’ve followed up with him especially before he ended up like this. But that form is a crucial pillar in becoming a permanent resident and not just “some form.” It’s wild that he didn’t get in trouble earlier tbh.

I-751, isn't it? but yeah that's the one where you gotta send all the bank statements, insurance, bills, rental contracts, family photos, endorsements from friends & family... idk if people usually work w/ a lawyer on that? but i think legal help woulda helped this dude
