Trump Forcibly Returns Russian Dissenters who Fled Putin

Wednesday, September 10, 2025

It's a new low in US refugee/asylum policy; simultaneouly unjust and counterproductive. On August 27, less than a fortnight wafter President Trump's summit with Putin in Alaska, dozens of Russians were rounded up and deported. The US now appears to have enlisted the help of the Egyptian government to ensure the migrants are delivered back to Moscow. The first mass deportation this year took place in June when 47 Russians were returned to Russia. US immigration authorities are now working with the Russian FSB [Putin's secret police agency].

Do you think Trump's doing this because it's a right & cool thing to do? Or is Trump's administration serving Trump's Muscovite masters?

Everything he does benefits Russia.

Period.

Krasanov Fats is a Russian agent.

Sad that the GOP sold out to Russia to protect themselves.

So we're deporting people who came here legally.

Not just criminals, and not just illegal aliens.

People who came here legally and have committed no crime are being deported.

Take another victory lap, Republicans!

I wouldn't be surprised if they operated freely on US soil in the near future.

Russian FSB will be working directly with ICE in a year's time. Assuming they aren't already.

They've been nabbing green card holders (legal permanent residents) and legal asylum seekers at routine check ins and deporting them.

They are deporting US citizens born here.

That is the only way they can meet their quota from Tom ------.

It is ethnic cleansing.

If you look latino, you will be pulled over and arrested. Doesn't matter if you were born here, legal asylum seekers, permanent residents, or naturalized.
