The DEA says 114 immigrants in the U.S. illegally were arrested at a Colorado nightclub

A couple of points...

"Underground nightclub". Those are still a thing?
"Attorney General Pam Bondi said that the club was 'frequented by Tda and MS-13 terrorists.'"

and 3) "Pullen added that there were over a dozen active duty service members in the club either as patrons or working as armed security guards."

Wow, what are the chances there were THREE groups of terrorists there...

How many of those illegal immigrants are toddlers with stage-4 cancer this time?
- Sorry for being pedantic but the toddler with stage-4 cancer that got deported was a US citizen, not an illegal immigrant.
  
  I'm sorry for the mistake, I tend not to make a difference between US and immigrant toddlers with stage-4 cancer when they're deported without due process.
  As in, they're first and foremost human children whom the Trump regime inflicts pain and misery upon for no discernable reason.
  
  Manufacturing consent depends on presenting "worthy victims". The distinction between American citizen or not is used to argue that citizens have nothing to worry about.
  "You didn't break any laws, you didn't come here illegally, don't worry this will never happen to you, as long as you stay in line and don't make any sudden moves, we'll do our job and get rid of the criminals"
  So while it's important to not pay into that, it's important to highlight that it's just as cruel to deport an a child undergoing cancer treatment because they are here illegally, it's also super important to remind our fellow citizens who still haven't fully opened their eyes: they're doing it to citizens too, and this can in fact happen to you.
  They won't join us for the moral reason, but if they help us fight to save their own skin that's better than being blind.
  
  There's a reason. Last time around, the Republicans caught flak for hurting the wrong (white) people. This time they're making a spectacle of hurting the brown people to distract from the quieter hurt they're inflicting on their base.
  
  You’re good.
- I'd argue that any toddler with stage 4 cancer should be fully allowed at any underground nightclub.
  
  With a guardian, of course.
