Quietly, and relying on the numbness created by their fascist "shock doctrine" so far, the Trump regime has stripped legal protections from and order the expulsion of thousands more law abiding people who are effectively refugees, including thousands of folks driven to seek asylum and protected status by US imperial and economic policy; this time targeting asylum seekers from Afghanistan and Cameroon:

'Cruel and Dangerous': Trump Ends Protected Status for Afghans and Cameroonians
"President Donald Trump made his promise to deport millions of undocumented immigrants a central plank of his 2024 campaign. However, since taking office, he has consistently moved not only to crack down on undocumented immigration but to revoke the status of migrants who are in the country legally. This has included attempting to strip TPS from other nationalities, revoking visas and even green cards from immigrants from certain countries or who voice opinions the administration dislikes, and ordering nearly 1 million people who entered the country using a Biden-administration app to leave "immediately."
Friday's decision would impact more than 14,600 Afghans and 7,900 Cameroonians, who would now have to leave the country by May and June respectively, according toAl Jazeera.
TPS means that immigrants from certain countries undergoing conflict or hardship—who may not qualify for asylum—will not be deported and will be able to work legally in the U.S. until the situation in their home country improves."
As the article notes, it's entirely unclear if the Trump regime will get away with this clearly targeted suppression as part of its mass deportation scheme; a judge did temporarily block a similar order targeting Venezuelans legally living and working in America with TPS status, after all. Looking at the types of people the regime is targeting however, puts to lie the government's arguments that they're enacting a mass deportation scheme to "keep us safe" or "remove dangerous criminals" from the US. Furthermore, looking a who they're targeting with orders like this, specifically nonwhite folks who are for all intents and purposes refugees, exposes their fascist intentions to establish America as a white ethnostate in a way that should be being reported in corporate media, but simply isn't for reasons that range from cowardice, capitalist greed, to even shared racist sympathies among the ruling class (and their minions) in our society. Quite frankly, the fact that corporate media outlets are no longer telling Americans that mass deportations are recognized as part of a process of genocide by international law, speaks volumes as to why they aren't talking about what the Trump regime's activities clearly represent when taken as a whole; the demographic bleaching of America by force, to create a while ethno-state.
Folks, the regime isn't targeting dangerous criminals because there aren't enough migrants committing violent crimes to justify their mass deportation agenda and white nationalist schemes. These folks are refugees, coming from situations the US state has already recognized present a real and present danger to their lives. Cameroon is in the middle of a years-long civil war, against a regime executing peaceful protestors, that has already caused over a million people to flee the country. The denial of protected status to Afghans is even more galling because refugees fleeing that country are almost invariably being targeted by a Taliban regime the US just fought a two-decade long war with, or a byproduct of American imperial policy that bombed the country flat during that war. These are "our guys" in so much as there is ever an "our" in US imperial foreign policy situations.
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and keeps doing the same things historically fascist duck regimes have done in human history, it's time to start naming the beast; not just on blogs written by anarchists with a library card, but everywhere in our society. Failure to do so isn't just cowardice, it's collaboration with a fascist regime that is rapidly chugging towards openly genocidal behavior every day, while gleefully admitting that's where they intend to go if only anyone understood what "mass deportations" actually mean. These folks are fascists, they are actively trying to establish an American white entho-state, and they are making no effort whatsoever to hide their activities or intentions.
