For sometime I have suspected that the Trump regime's mass deportation policies and executive orders were motivated by racism and discrimination against those with roots from south of our border. or brown people from elsewhere, I have also suspected that after you peel back all of the reasons MAGA supporters use to justify their support of Trump, economy, business interests, religious beliefs, and in spite of Trump and friends' immorality and greed, there is left a large element with the issue left is migrant deportation. Everything else but mass deportation seems irrelevant to them. A district court judge just called out Trump's attempt to end all temporary protective visas for migrant refugees fleeing violence, persecution, or natural disasters, racist and discriminatory, and put a temporary hold on the execution of the removal of those holding such visas . The purpose of the special visas was to give refugee status until the conditions in their home from which they fled had improved. The judge found that the condition of their home countries of the plaintiffs had not improved. The evidence of racial discrimination was the words of the Trump regime's administrators themselves. No doubt this will go through the appeal process to end up in the lap of "his" Supreme Court, but the damning language from the judge needs to be cited. For those who protest this ruling, first look in your own mirror.
From: Judge halts Trump's termination of TPS for Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua
"By stereotyping the TPS program and immigrants as invaders that are criminal, and by highlighting the need for migration management, Secretary Noem's statements perpetuate the discriminatory belief that certain immigrant populations will replace the white population."
Thompson also mentioned comments from Trump and other White House officials about migrants that show racial animus."
These statements reflect the secretary's animus against immigrants and the TPS program even though individuals with TPS hold lawful status -- a protected status that we expressly conferred by Congress with the purpose of providing humanitarian relief," Thompson said, adding that TPS holders have contributed billion to the economy by legally working, paying taxes and contributing to Medicare.

Trump has also sought to end TPS protections for other nations, including Afghanistan -- moves that are also being challenged in court.
