    having a non-western anglo saxon name is enough to get deported.

      Mango Mussolini’s dream team is using “AI” to do all their decisions and data processing, and they’re too fucking dumb (and don’t give a shit) to realize that it constantly makes mistakes and can’t be trusted for shit. Their jobs are “easier” because of it, the outcomes don’t affect them anyway since they live in an alternate reality bubble, and they can claim they’re “doing something” while really just having taxpayers pay them to golf.

        You give them too much credit. More like, type to an LLM:

        “Hey ai, here is an mbox file full of e-mail from people. Find all the names and make a table of names and email addresses.” uploads file

        “Hey muskrat, we got the list of people to deport!”

      Judging by how the people in power seem to like badly implementing ideas from cautionary sci-fi books, here’s my guess:

      They’re probably using a point system. If you have an immigration hearing, a million points. If they find your name on a visa (not even necessarily you), that’s 20 points. If they find your name on an arrest record, that’s 10 points. If they find your name on any immigration court records, that’s 10 points

      Then they sort the list, send ICE after people with the highest scores, and are slowly emailing their way down the list to anyone with like 50 points or more

        works at a nonprofit assisting immigrants in court

        and apparently, if you’re an attorney or staffer at a non-profit that assists migrants and immigrants in court… ten bazillion trillion mega points.

        this guy isn’t the only one being targeted.

          I know the logical sequence of events is probably the attorney being an informed contact as a representative having their details caught up in a crude, talentless scrape and the axiom about incompetence over malice but i realllly think this is a case of ¿Por qué no los dos?

        Off topic, is there a way on Lemmy to link to a specific comment/post so I could still remain on my instance?

        For exempt this opens web browser to lemmy.world, I’m on lemmy.ee and would still want to stay within the app on my own instance.

        Edit: this time on topic. Yeah, they very likely are using LLM for decisions. Same thing happened with those ridiculous tariffs. I can’t believe they are this dumb to believe LLM is anything more than a fancy chat bot and isn’t actually thinking.

          This is client dependent. I use Thunder, the sharing option lets you choose between the community’s instance for the share link, or the instance hosting your account.

          When opening links to other instances I believe you can use search on your own instance, paste the URL to open it on your local instance

            I also use thunder, and that page just opens a browser for me.

            What I was hoping is that there would be some kind of syntax where I could reference comment or post, and Lemmy server would automatically translate that to the local URL.

    Why are they expecting people to react to emails, anyway? If I got this in my email, I would assume it was just spam. A letter that comes by snail mail would get my attention, though.

    Are legal notices regularly sent by email now?

      It’s calculated. They want the email to get ignored so that you “commit a crime” by staying in the country, giving them a “legitimate” excuse to deport you.

        But I doubt that email can be considered sufficient notice in any court. In fact, now that it has been published, I wouldn’t be surprised if it starts getting spammed everywhere just because.

          Immigration courts have far less rights, even to citizens, it takes ages to appeal past it to a real court

            The president claimed it would be impossible to extend due process rights — as required under the Fifth Amendment — to all of the immigrants he wants to deport.

            “We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years,” he wrote. “We would need hundreds of thousands of trials for the hundreds of thousands of Illegals we are sending out of the Country. Such a thing is not possible to do. What a ridiculous situation we are in.” Mango Mussolini

          They’ll have you out of the country before you can even contact a lawyer or your family, let alone have a court hearing. Their legal justification is just to provide plausible deniability if it ever makes it to the news cycle.

      Title 8 Section 1182(d)(5)(A) The Secretary of Homeland Security may, except as provided in subparagraph (B) or in section 1184(f) of this title, in his discretion parole into the United States temporarily under such conditions as he may prescribe only on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit any alien applying for admission to the United States, but such parole of such alien shall not be regarded as an admission of the alien and when the purposes of such parole shall, in the opinion of the Secretary of Homeland Security, have been served the alien shall forthwith return or be returned to the custody from which he was paroled and thereafter his case shall continue to be dealt with in the same manner as that of any other applicant for admission to the United States.

      It makes no sense at all to try and apply this to a citizen or a visa holder.

        You should be accessing the registered Republican party members list and emailing them this. Just the low level voters. Not the big guys. 10 or 15 per day. Every time one of these stories break, send more.
