"I think it's really scary this is going on," said Nicole Micheroni. "I think it says they're not being careful."

When Massachusetts resident Nicole Micheroni received an email on Friday from the federal government telling her to leave the country, she was baffled.

"At first I thought it was for a client, but I looked really closely and the only name on the email was mine," said Micheroni. "So it said my parole status had been terminated and I should leave the country within seven days."

But the 40-year-old is a U.S. citizen, born in Newton and raised in Sharon.

And there it is. Combine this "accident" with the Death Master List and you have a recipe for "accidentally" ruining people's lives who are retired or disabled. We know how this administration handles mistakes now as well.

What does a person who is declared dead but indeed still alive do when this happens and they lose income, housing, and medical insurance? Asking for a very terrified friend.....

Administration "mistakenly" flags you as dead. FBI does a "stop and frisk": you present your ID. That person is dead, claiming to be them is fraud. You have no citizenship papers, so you can be deported on the accusation of fraud, sans due process. At the destination, you can call for habeas corpus, if relevant in that jurisdiction.

Don't expect the administration to "facilitate" your return in any meaningful way.

[-] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Or you get sent to the concentration camp in el Salvador

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 1 points 2 weeks ago

That is one possible destination for deportation, yes.

Idk, that's a lot of vowels in her last name and we are returning to 1939 fascism. I wish I was joking. Ice / Homeland security is basically the Gestapo now.

Ice / Homeland security is basically the Gestapo now.

It always has been for literally millions of people.

[-] Cocopanda@futurology.today 57 points 2 weeks ago

Sure sounds like Anyone who isn’t MAGA should buy a gun and start training with it. Civil war is on its way.

[-] lemmylump@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Liberals with guns is a good resource.

Anyone considering arming themselves should be trained.

As far as civil war goes, we still have our boxes of Liberty and there are four of them. The order is important.

The result of any form of armed coup will always be decided by the military. You'll have to see how deep the administration can sink its claws there before something happens.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I half expect there will be a false flag attack on the 18th or 19th. They'll use it to shut down protests using martial law and kick off the insurrection act on the 20th.

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 42 points 2 weeks ago

She should hire (trustworthy) security guards willing to kill. Doge Boys will be coming for her, simply because Trump's deranged word is law.

[-] hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

Because everyday people totally have the money for armed security guards who are willing to shoot Cops for you? Where does one hire these "trustworthy" people?

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

People who want to form Rainbow Panthers, especially persecuted minorities. They just need food on the table, munitions, and some sort of goal. Breaking ICE who assault schoolchildren and other innocents would certainly be a goal.

Also, the lady is an attorney. She probably has some savings, connections, and a willingness to go pro bono for people who need an public defender against the Trump Regime. The real roadblock is for people to accept that the 'norms' are dead, and to act accordingly. Considering we have a rapist of a president who intends to butcher Americans, I don't think militias against ICE are a stretch.

[-] hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

An attorney is not rich, they make more money than average at around $90-120k a year but not enough to hire 2-4 extra professionals to follow them around plus hazard pay.

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 12 points 2 weeks ago

That changes when militias are formed. Mutual aid is about people supporting each other - be it in the courtroom, battlefield, kitchen, or classroom. Neighborhoods filled with ICE Breakers, would mean that this lady and others wouldn't need more than two guards. An potential victim can call for help, while the guards delay ICE. Just set up checkpoints that inspect suspicious vehicles.

Seriously. This is a civil war brewing, and ordinary people can become a state unto themselves if they are willing to create their own laws. Trump doesn't believe in any law but that which emanates from his asshole, so why should anyone obey?

[-] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Mutual aid works well as an exchange of small favors, goods, and monetary assistance. Your alternator breaks down and you have no money. 10 people chip in to help pay for the part. Someone who knows cars donates their time to install it. That's how mutual aid works in the real world.

Something like the Black Panthers existed in a very specific historical circumstance. They existed in a handful of dense black neighborhoods with deep social roots going back generations. It doesn't really translate to the way most people in the US live, in low density sururban sprawl.

If ICE knocks on your door, there isn't going to be time to call for aid. And setting up checkpoints on roads? You're living in a fantasy world.

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

Odds are, you will sound like a British loyalist a century from now, who thought things would never change in their British colony. We live in a "fantasy world", where a mad king is sending the innocent to die in El Salvador without reason nor justice.

The only question is at what point people discard the things that they lived by. Common sense, the rules, whom they believed in, and more.

[-] hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's different from "should hire some bodyguards"

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Those Doge Pukes should have been gunned down in the first government lobby they tried to storm. At that point, they had all the authority of pirates, and were operating totally illegally. Now they've been "authorized."

[-] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 weeks ago

Security guards are insanely expensive.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 37 points 2 weeks ago

looks like doge already replaced dhs with ai

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Tihi.

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 36 points 2 weeks ago

As we've seen, it doesn't matter if it's an accident.
