'Homegrowns are next': Trump hopes to deport and jail U.S. citizens abroad

Trump is in the White House with the dictator from El Salvador that runs the CECOT prison and he says the Homegrowns are next. We'll need about 5 more prisons. And everyone laughs.

When I saw this clip posted elsewhere, I wondered if it was made by AI or altered. But now Rachel posted it on her show (and you know how researched she is.

Rachel Maddow show

Rachel Maddow shares video of Donald Trump talking with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele about his intention to deport American citizens to prison in El Salvador. Sherrilyn Ifill, civil rights lawyer and law professor, joins to discuss. 

She then shows a clip of Donald Trump floating the idea of sending Homegrowns "criminals" to El Salvador as well and that Pam Bondi is "studying the laws right now." And he says: if we can do that, that's good.

Rachel Maddow calls this not a constitutional crisis, but a "constitutional end."

And Trump has said that he can't wait to see those who protest at Tesla to to an El Salvadorian prison. Steve Miller is planning to do a "mass denaturalization" of people who are in prison.

WTF?

Trump Official Declaring 'Anyone Who Preaches Hate for America' Will Be Deported Worries Users: 'They Just Skip the First Amendment'
"Democracy doesn't work like that," one user commented.
M.B. Mack / Published Apr 14 2025, 11:44 AM EDT




Top Trump official Stephen Miller's recent declaration that anyone who "preaches hate for America" will face deportation has ignited alarm online, with critics warning the statement disregards First Amendment protections.

The controversy began during a Monday morning appearance from the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy on Fox News. Miller was defending the deportation of a Salvadoran national alleged to be involved in gang activity, as well as the pending removal of Mahmoud Khalil, a protester accused of supporting Hamas.

While Miller discussed a federal judge's authorization to deport Khalil, and the online debate that followed quickly turned toward broader implications for dissent and political expression.


In response to questioning by Fox anchor Bill Hemmer, Miller asserted that Khalil would be and went on to claim that everyone else who preached hate towards the country would also be at risk.

"Yes he will, as will anyone who preaches hate for America," Miller said. "Under this country, under this administration, under President Trump, people who hate America, who threaten our citizens, who rape, who murder, and who support those who rape and murder are going to be ejected from this country."

ALSO STEPHEN MILLER 

HEMMER: Will Mahmoud Khalil be deported? STEPHEN MILLER: Yes he will, as will anyone who preaches hate for America.

Miller goes on to say that others who "rape and murder" and those who support them are going to be "ejected" from this country.

He goes on to tell outrageous lies saying people should cry over the blood of people that was shed or the "half a million children that Biden trafficked into this country .... Cemeteries are filled with tombstones from Americans that were killed by Joe Biden.... ."

MSNBC ABOUT MASS DEPORTATIONS:

They are labeling people as "dead" and cancelling their social security numbers so that they can't stay in the U.S. and work:

As my MSNBC colleague Ja’han Jones explained, this reached a new level last week when Team Trump began cancelling immigrants’ lawfully obtained Social Security numbers — essentially listing individuals as dead — “as a means to impede their ability to make money or access government services and to pressure them to leave the country.”

The Washington Post reported that administration officials confronted objections from the Social Security Administration but ignored them while adding “thousands of immigrants ranging in age from teenagers to octogenarians to the agency’s Death Master File.” From the report:

LISA MURKOWSKI

WE ARE ALL SCARED.

When someone asked what she'd tell people who are scared right now, she said. "We are all scared."

She admitted this to a non-profit group she recently visited. Having her admit this is almost as scary as other things I've recently heard.

Help the Fairbanks school district funding...URGENT!

  

If the Fairbanks Northstar Borough School District loses more funding ... will they even be able to function? 

They are already running on a minimal budget now. 


Send opinions by Thursday, 4/10/25.




Email address below

Also, sample letter at bottom.

Don't let them shut our schools down!

Who: You! 

What: Email the borough assembly to say you SUPPORT the proposed school district funding of $60M, not the reduced amount that would lead to EVEN MORE school closures. (Or even better - show up to testify tomorrow - 4/10)

Why:  A group of anti-education funding folks have started an email campaign asking people to email the Assembly and demand that they only fund the district to the minimum contribution, based on a dangerous misinformation campaign (message me if you want more details). This would mean the school board would have to cut an additional $21M from its current budget. That might look like 7-10 more schools closed and/or class sizes doubled across the board. 

When: Email before the assembly meeting tomorrow, 4/10, or show up in person to testify

How: Emails should be sent to: Barbara.Haney@fnsb.gov, Brett.Rotermund@fnsb.gov, Tammie.Wilson@fnsb.gov, David.Guttenberg@fnsb.gov, Kristan.Kelly@fnsb.gov, Mindy.Oneall@fnsb.gov, Scott.Crass@fnsb.gov, Liz.Reeves-Ramos@fnsb.gov, Nick.Lajiness@fnsb.gov

What else: Please spread the word!




TWO RESOLUTIONS FROM 

THE BOROUGH ASSEMBLY


A resolution setting our minimum education funding at 60 million.

By: Introduced: Grier Hopkins, Mayor 04/10/2025 

https://www.fnsb.gov/DocumentCenter/View/21414/Resolution-No-2025-08 


A resolution to acknowledge Canadian sovereignty

By: David Guttenberg 2 Scott Crass 3 Introduced: April 10, 2025

Both being heard tomorrow at the Juanita Helms administrative center.

-------------------------------------------

SAMPLE EMAIL:

Subject: Please Support RESOLUTION NO. 2025-08 and Fully Fund Our Schools

Dear Members of the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly,

I am writing to urge you to support RESOLUTION NO. 2025-08 and approve $60 million in local funding for the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District for FY 2025-26.

There is a dangerous misinformation campaign underway by a small but vocal group demanding that you fund only the state-required minimum contribution. If their position were adopted, the school district would face an additional $21 million in budget cuts. This would have catastrophic consequences: potentially closing 7–10 more schools and forcing class sizes to double across the district.

This is not just a matter of budget lines—this is a matter of our community’s future. Our students, teachers, and families deserve better than shrinking resources and shrinking opportunities. Cutting education funding hurts all of us: families, employers, property owners, and the local economy.

The $60 million proposed funding level is a responsible and necessary investment. It not only helps maintain current levels of education and staffing, but it also ensures the borough can meet increasing needs due to population growth and inflation. Anything less risks undoing decades of community progress.

Please stand with our students, teachers, and the future of Fairbanks. Reject misinformation. Don’t let disinvestment hollow out the heart of our community.

Vote YES on RESOLUTION NO. 2025-08.

Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[Your Address or Neighborhood]
[Optional: Parent / Teacher / Local Resident / Voter]
