An Irish woman who has lived legally in the US for four decades has been detained by immigration officials for the last week because of a criminal record dating back almost 20 years.
Cliona Ward, 54, was detained at San Francisco airport on 21 April after returning from Ireland to visit her sick father and is being held at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) facility in Tacoma, Washington.
Ward holds a green card but has convictions for drug possession from 2007 and 2008, which she believed had been expunged, her family said.
Just wait until they figure out where Kash Patel is “really” from. Bet you the crocodile tears will run like rivers.
No, it’s ok. He’s one of the good ones. /s
Catholics are not considered white to the white supremacist
The Irish were not considered white until around 1930 or so. When the demographic shifts in the US required we be white in order to stave off the dreaded brown folk. The old bigot who lived next door to me growing up called me a tater tot until her dying day. I remember my grandfather talking about how one day he had bankers basically offering him a loan. Up until that point he was treated like shit at the bank.

Prick. I heard two young American girls refer to the Irish as potatoes, in Dublin. They thought nobody could hear them then were properly embarrassed when they saw me.
An I remember that one. It’s good. I’ll see your solid paddywhackery and raise you this (which I honestly pissed myself laughing at the first time I saw it).
The English were directly responsible for killing a million Irish people. They get hate for it, but not enough.

Considering the US is going back to the 1800s, no better time to start treating the Irish like shit again.
MAGA will decide they want to deport Irish-Americans. Ireland will respond by saying they don’t let people claim residency that many generations back. MAGA will piss and moan. Eventually they will make a deal with the UK government. The UK government will build a large prison camp in Northern Ireland, right near the border with the Republic of Ireland. Irish Americans will be banished to the camp, in direct line of site from ROI land, until such time as ROI willingly accepts them in as refugees.
Honestly sign me up. I would like nothing more than to ditch this sinking ship.
“I bet she has tattoos!”
I’d be willing to bet the universal common denominator for anyone who isn’t brown is simply that they’re antifascist.
C’mon let this establish precedent so I can get ‘deported’ to the home country after 150 years.
Also, why did she get sent across the country from San Fran to the SeaTac area? Is Washington acting like the Louisiana of the West Coast, what the fuck?
Um, Seattle and SF are on the same coast…maybe there’s just a bigger concentration camp set up there
It would be hilarious to see this regime shooting itself in both feet before shooting itself in the head, if this weren’t some route to a full-blown ‘eMerGENcy’ which they can then use to deactivate democracy all together.
