Abbott has called four special sessions of the legislature to attempt to put into law that private and religious schools be funded by the state, cutting money from already underfunded public schools. All this is on top of Abbott’s Operation Lonestar, a multibillion-dollar state campaign to strengthen the border to brutally stop migrants with razor wire, floating buoys and National Guard troops.

Abbott has consistently pushed the boundaries of law regarding migrants, even ordering the bussing of migrants to cities with Democratic mayors across the country. So, what does this newest reactionary law mean for Latinx people in Texas? Racial profiling by police will increase even more.

Millions of U.S. residents, including citizens, can be arrested and deported without due process.

I'm kind of surprised that no one has commented about "Latinx" being used in the article. Speaking as a mostly male/partially non-binary Latino Texan though, I don't have a huge problem with that term, even if it feels kinda weird.

I don't consider myself Amerikkkan, for probably hundreds of reasons, more like a victim of the Amerikkkan imperialist state. But those tickets to China are looking mighty fine, if my family and I could afford them. At least China won't lock up minorities for looking the wrong way.

The original claims of organ harvesting were from the notoriously laughable and falacious Falun Gong cultists, you mindless drone. And the only "evidence" that was provided were pictures from BDSM porn sites that they claimed were torture devices. The mainstream news media didn't even claim that Yoghurts were having their organs harvested until it became clear that people were becoming more skeptical, as atrocity propaganda.

Also, China's constitution and general population decry racism, and it was Uyghur tribes themselves who cooperate with authorities to root out interlopers, which is entire light years different than actual racist oppression, like the polar opposite. Even if your lie was true, China would still be preferrable.

Can you show me evidence or are you just repeating what China's biggest hater has to say?

It's a rhetorical question since there is no evidence and you're doing the latter
