NYC immigrant rights leader Jean Montrevil was deported to Haiti earlier today. He had lived in NYC for 31 years and has four U.S.-born children.
this is what the gentleman looks like
It's helpful that we learn he's from Haiti because he might have come from another country, say, Norway.
Already been done, remember him telling his crowds just to take them out, policeman to bash their heads on doors, ICE officers to arrest them. He has lots of ways to take 'em out. Now, he's trying to jail 'em, including reporters. Yeap, a good dictator <sigh>

JFK in 1962: "There is a terrific disadvantage not having the abrasive quality of the press applied to you daily--to an administration, even though we never like it…There isn't any doubt that we could not do the job at all in a free society without a very, very active press."

The truth be known. Of course, we will now see tRump and Sessions take immediate steps to rectify this violence, right?

White supremacists responsible for most extremist killings in 2017, ADL says
(CNN)White supremacists were responsible for the majority of extremist killings in 2017 compared to other groups, according to a newly released report by the Anti-Defamation League.
Of the 34 people the league's Center on Extremism found were killed by domestic extremists last year, right-wing extremists killed 20 people, with 18 of those killed by white supremacists, it said in the report released Wednesday.
"Extremism in any form is an issue. Foreign born, politically minded extremism or racially focused extremism. What the data tells us in the past 10-plus years it is far right-wing extremism, white supremacists and their ilk that are responsible for more extremist-related murders than any other group," said Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.
Last year was the fifth deadliest for extremist violence since 1970, when the ADL began tracking these types of crimes.
"Concretely it confirms extremists feel emboldened in the current environment. Right-wing extremists in particular were responsible for nearly 60% of extremist-related fatalities last year," Greenblatt said, "The data lays bare that this is not an exaggeration, as some would try to paint it."
Of course, we will now see tRump and Sessions take immediate steps to rectify this violence, right?
From your own cite, BillW, the numbers are already on the way down.

Extremist killings down sharply from 2016
While the killings by extremists generally make up a tiny fraction of the number of murders in the United States, their effect can often have a huge impact on entire communities, the ADL report said.

@blatham,
A nice dodge (It got 7 thumbs up) for refusing to respond to points made.
It's a bit like dealing with spoiled children in the playground, Finn.
They know we're here, and also know we'll kick their arse if they join in.

It's not that Trump thinks Haiti is a shithole, or anything, it's just....well, that it's a shithole:

Haitians barred from applying for visas for low-skilled work in U.S
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had removed Haiti from a list of countries whose citizens are permitted to apply for low-skilled work visas, Reuters reported Wednesday night.
In a regulatory filing, DHS cited "high levels of fraud and abuse" from Haitians who use the program as well as a “high rate of overstaying the terms” from the visa recipients.
Advocates of the program say the Trump administration has taken away a lifeline for struggling residents of the island nation. “They’re just cutting off the most economically beneficial visa for the Haitian people,” Sarah Williamson, founder of a Virginia firm that spearheaded the program told Reuters.
Here's some salty language georgie, "Are you shitting me?"
Interestingly the objective indicators both in the economy and in international relations are increasingly very good,
Sweet Mother of God, did you sleep thru the 60's?

I think you see what you hope you will see. You know, the anti-snowflakes version of fake news.
