I'm empathetic Wolf. But the law is the law. Why didn't he apply for citizenship? He certainly had decades to do that. I come from a long line of Veterans and love & respect our military. But I believe firmly that they fought and died to uphold the law.

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

Did you read the article or did you just see something critical of the current administration and start typing?

José Barco DID apply for citizenship. During his service. His application was lost by the government. He applied again. It was still pending when he got deported. The system failed him, not the other way around.

Sae Joon Park came here when he was seven years old. He served. He got shot twice. He came home with PTSD like a lot of combat veterans do. He struggled with substance abuse like ONE IN THREE veterans do according to the ACLU. He got clean. He stayed clean for fourteen years. And they deported him anyway.

You say "the law is the law." Okay. Kristi Noem signed a letter saying she deported eight veterans. Then she sat in front of Congress under oath and said she deported zero. That is perjury. That is a federal crime. Is the law the law for her too, or just for the guys who took bullets for this country?

Your ancestors who came here - did they have to apply for citizenship or did they just show up at Ellis Island and walk in? Because mine did. Most of ours did. The laws were different then. The system was different then. These men were told they would have a path to citizenship through service and then the path disappeared.

I appreciate that you come from a military family. So do I. But "I support the troops" means nothing if you only support them when it is convenient. These men upheld their end of the deal. They served. They bled. They watched friends die. The least we can do is not throw them out of the country they fought for because they struggled when they came home from war.

Read the article again. Slowly this time.

OK I got it. They deport veterans. I talked to one person in Mexico that gave a similar stories...one little misdeed and they boot them out. I think the Korean National in question needed to take advantage of the free lawyers the military provided back then, but I don't fault him for getting discouraged. He re-applied, can't tell when, but they obviously dragged their feet and then deported which is a shame.

I agree NO ONE with proper court or other forms of adjudication should be deported.

In terms of Ellis Island, there was quarantine and paper work to fill out. 3 out of 4 sides of my family came via Ellis Island before the fall of the Ottoman Empire and before WWI. My great Grandmother who lived until 104, and I knew personally listed herself as a "Hungarian Hebrew" the year she got in, but WAS SENT BACK to the Austrian Hungarian Empire, she looked too young. She immigrated a year later and got her citizenship. Why come to the USA? She did not like the match made by her father. :)

Was everyone this outraged when Ashley Babbit was killed by the Capitol Police officer or 100s of J6 protesters were imprisoned and tried some never charged but remained imprisoned for 4 years? She lied. Pelosi lied. Pence lied. They ALL lie. Let's have the same outrage regardless of who is in control. Equal outrage or hypocrisy. Idk I just started following.

I am so angry I can barely compose my thoughts, so I thank you, Wise Wolf, for doing such a great job of that here. I will simply say that “the law “ is nothing without compassion or understanding, and that is one reason that in our courts we have juries and judges. As more and more of us know, many of our own laws in this country have been influenced by the extremely wealthy and therefore unduly powerful, and power sometimes trumps the law and I do not use that word randomly, since we currently have someone at the helm of our government who has already been convicted of 34 felonies. How does that happen? And how does that stack up against sending a soldier who fought for the benefit of the rest of us out of the country he calls home?

The entire regime needs the 25th amendment.

ICEHOLES are no different than the SS, or Schutzstaffel, (except less training ) which was originally formed in 1925 as Adolf Hitler's personal bodyguard unit and evolved into a powerful paramilitary organization responsible for many of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. Under Heinrich Himmler, it became a key instrument of Nazi terror, overseeing concentration camps and enforcing the regime's racial policies.

I think that anyone who volunteers to serve this country in the military should automatically be granted citizenship upon honorable discharge. What happened to Mr. Park is a disgrace.

Dude I am so sick of puppet people that figured out how to use Grok trying to argue with me thinking it makes them seem 'intelligent'. They don't even bother to read the output before pasting it. The one person was literally pasting an argument against me and then used Grok to 'verify' her stance and Grok even said I was right but she pasted it anyways because these people are not reading anything. They are dopamine junkies. They hop from one article and video to the next without even watching or reading it, type a prompt for Grok, then paste it and click send and move on to the next one. It's like heroin addicts but worse in my opinion because the worse thing a junkie (usually) does is black out from their fix. These people are destabilizing the nation.

Personally, I don't give " 2 💩 💩" about what other people think about on any of my posting or replies in comment sections on Substack or my website.

I try to look at everything truthfully and state things as I feel. Often times I show both sides of a narrative so people have all the information.

The best thing to do when you get idiots commenting is totally ignore them and just tone them out and not give them the time of day. I know that is hard to do sometimes, but in the long run it works and you won't lose any sleep over it.

Most of these types won't listen to rationality anyway. When you don't respond to them it deflates their ego and they usually move on to the next target. These are basically insecure people who have no other life other than Substack.

AS A FORMER USAF EOD TECH I AM EMBARRAISSED HOW MY COUNTRY TERATS MY FELLOW VETERANS. AS I VISIT THE AMERICAN LEGION, THE VFW AND THE VA CLINIC AND HOSPITAL I HEAR WAR STORIES OF VETERANS NOT BEING TEATED WITH THE RESPCTED THEY SO WELL DERERVED. AS FAR AS THE GOVERMENT DEPORTING OUR HEREOS THIS IS ANOTHER CASE OF THE TRUMP ADNINAISTRATION GONE WILD. WITH NO ADULT IN THE ROOM ! IJUST HOPE THAT AMERICA CAN LOOK AT IT'S SELF AND FIND A WAY TO BRING THESE VETERANS HOME . MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA.

I read the whole article and saw the video. Twice. My English isn't the best, in fact, it is the seventh language I learnt. But, I confess, none of those seven contains enough swearwords for what happened. Noem, I hate with my heart. As a veterinarian, I see enough animal cruelty to want to disembowel some owners, and she works for that ... Orange. She, like him, who called them losers, dismisses real soldiers, not fake like ICE, who bled for her country and returned wounded and shell-shocked. And she lied. Over ten thousand veterans deported? When the next conflict appears, how many will enlist voluntarily? I would have liked to see her expression when the South Korean veteran slapped her in what is seemingly her face with the truth. I subscribed to your YouTube channel. Hopefully, your devoted colleague shall get her dues. I shall download the lot to read ... again.

Robert Riggs's avatar

Coming from you, this overall characterization of ICE has dramatically higher credibility than any opinion or 'conclusions of ultimate fact' coming from known anti-Trump and anti-MAGA sources.

As a result I have now hit a tipping point, of genuine fear for those who are not in the Lord, and worse, those who claim to be Christians but also still support Trump and MAGA unrepentantly!

I reported the facts and lost 30 paid subscribers this week. That is what real journalists do. I voted for the guy in two elections. I do not regret the first time. This time? He’s been bought by Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. I am now more certain than ever he is just a puppet leader.

Mr. Park can have my spot in the USA. I left years ago and really wanted to come back but in the past two years I’ve made the decision not to subject myself and my wife to that pain. We should be able to do that, renounce our citizenship TO somebody who wants to be there and especially somebody who took a bullet. I never did one push up for that country. Anyway, another banger, Wolf!

Regardless of drug crime related crap, this is disgraceful. It might be old, but it shows that the lack of discernment and respect the administration is showing towards all of us, means one day all of us are under threat of displeasing the imperial court.

Rather than provide adequate treatment and care to veterans, and citizens in general, such as having doctors treat addiction and help provide ways to stop it, the policies of government in general regardless of who is in office, is to treat a demand issue by attacking supply only; by treating a spiritual, economic and medical condition with a law enforcement answer only. That’s part of it, for sure. But it’s not the only part of the equation.

No jobs, ruined families, housing and economic hardships…and one wonders why people are spiritually bankrupt and using drugs? It is chemical warfare, the Administration has imbecilic policies such as pushing marijuana use, which will lead people into deeper addictions and demonic possession.

I am totally against drug use and drug pushers. I am against Joe Rogan who pushes dope to a bunch of teenagers young people and even children who watch his show and admire him because he has “interesting people“ on.

However, the model we have isn’t working, and

a solution must be reached.

Deporting a Purple Heart veteran however, is unacceptable and only sets the conditions to send everyone to the gulag under future administrations, if we make it that far.

ESPECIALLY WHEN WE’RE OVERRUN BY 75 IQ SAVAGE RAPIST MURDER CANNIBAL INVADERS!

I appreciate you highlighting some problematic cases that definitely deserve attention. Personally, I would support reopening Sae Joon Park's case and consider allowing him to return.

However, I can't help but note that you left out some pretty significant details. He has several criminal convictions that resulted in his green card being revoked and a removal order issued. Of course, I understand that maybe he deserves some special consideration for his military service and his possibly related addiction/PTSD issues, but at the same time, actions have consequences. If you are a guest in a foreign country and you break their laws, guess what -- you might just have your residence permit revoked. I know this because I am an American immigrant living in Denmark and the same thing would happen to me here if I got in trouble with the law, despite the fact that I have a family here and deporting me would be very sad. Actions have consequences.

The problem I have with so much of the ICE and immigration commentary is that it glosses over the details of complex cases and is geared more towards promoting a particular narrative than it is toward providing understanding of a complicated issue, pulling at the emotional heartstrings instead of appreciating the difficulties and nuances. The Renee Good story is another one -- reasonable people can disagree about whether the officer's use of lethal force was necessary but come on, she created that entire situation by making a series of terrible choices that ultimately led to her death.

Let's not pretend this issue is black and white.

Tony Parthens's avatar

Agreed. This article totally left out important details and kinda reads like rage bait. All respect to the authors

I am terminating my subscription with this misinformation propaganda & deception S&$T

Spoken like a Communist Socialist Democrat who doesn’t care about DILIGENT RESEARCHING TO FIND FACTS. Just in case you missed the part about the Professional Agitator/Stalker/Doxer who used her vehicle to attack a Federal Immigration Customs Enforcement Officer, he is bleeding internally and he had to get many stitches in his leg. The FAKENEWS MOCKINGBIRD MSM failed to report the FACTS. They cut/altered/edited the many videos that would have cleared this brave ICE agent. This is all about PoliticalWeaponization

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

Ma'am, I have been a registered Republican for over twenty years. I am a Christian. I am a libertarian-leaning conservative who has voted red in every election since I was old enough to vote. Calling me a "Communist Socialist Democrat" because I refuse to blindly swallow whatever lies the administration is feeding you does not make me a communist. It makes you a fool who cannot handle disagreement.

Now let us talk about your "facts." You claim the ICE agent was bleeding internally and needed many stitches in his leg. Show me the source. Show me the medical report. Show me anything other than you repeating what Kristi Noem said on television. Because Kristi Noem also said under oath that she had not deported a single veteran, and then a congressman held up an iPad with a deported Purple Heart recipient on Zoom and she sat there like a deer in headlights because she had just committed perjury on live television. So forgive me if I do not take her word as gospel.

You accuse me of not doing diligent research. I cited the actual testimony. I cited the letter Noem signed admitting to deporting eight veterans. I cited eyewitness accounts and video evidence that contradicts the administration's narrative. What did you cite? Nothing. You are repeating talking points you heard on TV and calling it research.

You know what is funny? You used the phrase "Mockingbird MSM" like you understand what Operation Mockingbird was. I have been writing about CIA media infiltration for years. I was writing about the Mockingbird program while you were still trusting Fox News to tell you the truth. Do not lecture me about media manipulation while you parrot government press releases verbatim.

You are not a paid subscriber. You have contributed nothing to this publication. And now you are threatening to unsubscribe like that is supposed to hurt my feelings. Go ahead. Leave. I do not write for people who want their biases confirmed. I write for people who want the truth even when it is uncomfortable. If you cannot handle an article that criticizes a Republican administration when that administration is lying, you were never going to make it here anyway.

The door is right there. Do not let it hit you on the way out.

Then you know who and when The Immigration Act was signed and Implemented. It was in 1924.

Also, you should be well aware of history going back to the Great Wall of China which was completed in 1664, & all of The Castles in Scotland, England & Europe, & Huge Fortresses, Kingdoms, including King Saul (Biblical Scriptures have told us about the immense wealth and gold. Before Countries solidified their borders, The Kings, Queens & Emperors had to protect their lands and wealth from INVASIONS of Foreign Enemies. They not only constructed huge castles, but they built troughs around the castles to prevent enemies from gaining entry Hmm 🤔 Now that sounds familiar. When nations and countries became overseen by rulers, every one of these countries were protected by guards during the middle ages and during the Roman Empire during their reign in the year 27 BC [Before Christ] throughout 476 AD. [Ater Christ Died]

A five year old child could understand the need for the protection of property.

Please don’t bother to respond. You are in my opinion a RINO You are either deceiving your readers intentionally or you have been deceived by a lot of Fake News Woke Counterculture Propaganda via Globalists’ controlled media [96% is owned by Globalists Members of The World Economic Forum

So you are saying that Veterans SHOULD be deported? Am I correct on that? Because you did not even read the article obviously. Unless you DID read it and are saying that VETERANS WHO FOUGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY SHOULD BE DEPORTED. For fuck's sake, I am so sick of dealing with people like you that read the headline, see that it is not pro-MAGA whatever, scan the article, maybe read an image caption or two, then go right to the comments to drop your two-cents.

Ya know why they call it 'your two-cents' because that is what your opinion is worth Bobby. Two cents.

I hate when people like you say the word 'dox' without even knowing what that means.

I can 'dox' anyone for 20 dollars on a dozen different background check websites.

If you think that the corruption is only on one side or the other - you are just a useful idiot that joined a tribe that is ultimately controlled by the same billionaires that are controlling your enemy. It's called Hegelian Dialectics but they don't teach that in junior high so most Americans have no concept of it.

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

Let's review how this actually went down.

Your very first move was an ad hominem attack - "Communist Socialist Democrat" - before you'd offered a single piece of substantive information. That's not an argument. That's a confession you don't have one.

For your information, I am a lifelong Republican that really wishes your kind was forced to take a basic literacy and psychological examination before being allowed to vote. As soon as you saw anyone critical of your 'tribe' you immediately attacked them. You are being manipulated by a money cult of billionaire Satanists that have you convinced they were 'sent by God to save America from the terrorists and Commies' while glorifying fascism without even realizing what you are doing. You are the classic definition of the 'useful idiot'.

What followed was a hodgepodge of some of the most obvious establishment-approved content creators and platforms, presented as though they were gospel. You strung together a series of nonsensical musings, declared yourself the winner, and took a victory lap.

Then came my favorite part: you thanked someone for supporting you - except they were actually thanking me for calling out how unhinged you sound. You didn't even read the room correctly.

Here's some free advice: blind trust in anyone with a million followers or a fancy suit on television is not research. It's not discernment. It's consumption.

Put down your welfare phone.

Stop surfing the internet.

Pick up a book.

Read.

Jesus warned sternly against all name calling, comparing it to murder, early in the Sermon On The Mount.

You don't even know what a Republican is. You think it is some MAGA 'Christian Nationalist Movement' to 'Get the terrorists and commies!'

It is the party that believes in representational government and checks and balances and fiscal responsibility.

Your MAGA cult are not Republicans. They are fascist nut cases that are just as brainwashed as the 'woke' Democrats.

Thank you for highlighting this travesty. It makes me sick to my stomach how we treat our veterans under normal times. But this is outrageous. Wise Wolf, please keep investigating this.

And lest anyone forget, Jesus was a refugee living in a foreign land when he was a child. Hopefully the next person who tries to smear foreigners who come to our country will pause for a moment and think about Jesus and his family.

The truth is much deeper than what you represent here, and assumes nefarious intentions on her and the administration's part, including ignoring factual and video evidence of Good's tragic and totally avoidable death, caused by hateful rhetoric and paid protesters. All of which are provided by the very people you wish to now agree with and support. I too am interested in understanding the reason's for deporting veterans, and believe that new immigrant legislation needs to provide an expedited path to those who serve honorably. An investigation should start with requesting an investigation from Noem, followed by a public explanation as to what happened and why. This is what I will guarantee you, however, Noem does not see or approve every single deportation, and may not have been aware that any had happened, without cause, at the time of the hearing. Maybe this assumption is wrong, but I at least, am interested in asking the question prior to condemnation.

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

You didn't read the article, did you? I literally talk about Noem signing a document stating that 8 veterans were deported and then a few days later lying under oath claiming zero have been deported.

I agree with everything else you had to say but you clearly did not read the entire article if you missed that part. It is the literal lynchpin of the entire article.

Tony Parthens's avatar

Yep. I’ll be honest, with respect to the author, this reads like some leftist propaganda and fake outrage. Lots of left out information and misrepresentations

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

Such as what Tony? What parts are 'leftist propaganda and fake outrage'? What information did I leave out? You can't just make a comment like this without backing it up with RESEARCH AND DATA like I did. Every damn thing I said in this article was researched and fact-checked by myself, my editor, and 3 separate Agentic LLM systems that I trained myself and correlated with another 2 LLM systems that I pay hundreds of dollars a week to subscribe to. I fact-check EVERYTHING I say so people like you cannot write your slop, halfwit comments but you people still do it. I doubt you even read past the headline before writing your comment.

Tony Parthens's avatar

Ok. This post is mixing real cases with misleading framing. No U.S. citizens were deported. The cases being cited involve non-citizen veterans with existing removal orders, often tied to past convictions. That’s tragic, but it’s not the same as deporting citizens or “randomly deporting troops.”

Kristi Noem’s testimony was about citizens, while the letter referenced non-citizen veterans. That distinction matters legally, even if people don’t like the outcome. Calling it “perjury” is political rhetoric, not a legal finding. So technically speaking Noem did not in fact lie.

That’s what I mean by my previous comment. This article is just classic partisan rhetoric.

The saddest part of all is that you have Americans cheering on ICE and the USG's handling of all of this...just wait til they come knocking on there doors.
