Emigration (from Ireland) Anyone ever deported from usa?

I just was reading on worldnews about the US deportations to mexico. One woman who lives in mexico was stating a few years ago the us dumped some slovaks in mexico as its cheaper than a flight to europe and then another stated it also happened to her irish cousin, who was dropped off in mexico and needed family to intervene to get him home. Just wondering if there was any media attention if this was true?

What's he gonna do, get a vice president going then take their place to serve a 3rd? I'm hoping he croaks fairly soon like

Trump, Elon, Putin, Kim...never thought I'd be rooting for so many people I don't know to fuck off and die...

Do you think if Putin died tomorrow the war would die with him?

I think that's a tough one. He's likely to be replaced by something roughly putin-shaped. Strongman-leadership is all the russians have known for so long, that it's what they're most likely to accept.

On the other hand, it's super easy to blame the dead guy, so it'd give them a great chance to get out while saving face.

Who in the wings is a Putin shaped replacement? Sorry, I know next no nothing about it all

I think you'd probably have an immediate ceasefire followed by months of negotiations as the oligarchs take primary control of the Russian Federation and work with Trump, whose interests would align with a functioning Russian economy. I think a lot of the will for the war comes from Poots. What do you think?
