“I think it’s really scary this is going on,” said Nicole Micheroni. “I think it says they’re not being careful.”

When Massachusetts resident Nicole Micheroni received an email on Friday from the federal government telling her to leave the country, she was baffled.

“At first I thought it was for a client, but I looked really closely and the only name on the email was mine,” said Micheroni. “So it said my parole status had been terminated and I should leave the country within seven days.”

But the 40-year-old is a U.S. citizen, born in Newton and raised in Sharon.

    Do you want a list of lawful US residents imprisoned and tortured in Gitmo who have been determined to have no ties to terrorism? The US has been Nazi-adjacent from the time nobody batted an eye about the “Dept of Homeland security” and “the Patriot Act.”

      all 558 of them? yes, some aspects of the government have been able to act in nazi adjacent ways for a while now… of course that’s been a fight and most of the gitmo prisoners were freed….

      what’s happening now is a completely different scale and acting like “it always has been” is intellectually lazy, weak, and cowardly….

      some in the gov have done nazi like things is a lot different than, then entire government is being replaced with nazis and collaborators in a few months and wide scale ethnic cleansing has begun….

        Cool, so Americans have had a quarter-decade of constant and unrelenting evidence that complaining is roughly as effective as doing nothing.

          Oh heavens, it’s been much more than a quarter decade. Why else was Obama’s campaign so effective? It was pitched as if our protests had actually worked and somebody up top was finally listening.
