This is what main stream media propaganda looks like.

> Dr Alawieh had traveled last month to Lebanon, her home country, to visit relatives.

No, she did not; she attended the funeral of a leader of a US-designated terror organization.

In a blink of an eye Americans went from "the government is out there to oppress you" to "if the government says the undisclosed people it snatches from the streets and deports are criminals, it must be true".

The new administration has no regards for law. They are breaking multiple laws. This isn't how you get things done.

That's really irrelevant to the point being discussed. I was just trying to give some context to the apparent hypocrisy the OP had identified, without adding my own opinion about it.

You are talking about uptick in trust due to administration taking steps against illegal immigrants.

How is anyone supposed trust this administration when they constantly lie and break the laws themselves? How is my comment not relevant?

Not that I agree with illegal immigration, however, I want EVERYONE to respect the laws.

Try to explain that to anyone racist, ignorant or fearful of immigrants and you going to understand the point of the comment
