This poor excuse for a sob story from the @nytimes attempts to bury the fact that these two individuals are CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS with rap sheets a mile long. DHS is applying the law as written. All illegal aliens, including the two mentioned in this story, receive due process. If a judge finds that an illegal alien has no right to be in this country, we are going to remove them. The first individual, Samson Tesfay Birhane, a criminal illegal alien from Eritrea, was arrested by ICE on March 17, 2026. Birhane has an extensive criminal history including robbery, armed criminal action, drug possession, selling cocaine, marijuana possession, theft, and credit card fraud. He entered the United States legally but lost his status after receiving a final order of removal on June 16, 2026. He received due process. The other individual in this story, Ahmed Mahmoud Soliman, a serial criminal illegal alien from Egypt, was arrested by ICE on October 17, 2025. His criminal history includes aggravated assault of a police officer, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, shoplifting, drug possession, synthetic narcotic possession, prescription drug possession, drug paraphernalia, and tampering with evidence. He was issued a final order of removal on October 22, 2025. He received due process. The Trump Administration is utilizing all lawful options to carry out the largest deportation operation in history, just as President Trump promised.

I’m sorry but America did not spend 250 years turning “what’s over there?” into the most powerful civilization on earth just to finally arrive at the most consequential technological frontier in generations and decide actually we’re scared of frontiers now. We ARE the fucking frontier. We cross oceans. We build railroads across continents. We split atoms. We put men on the moon. We turn sand into computers and computers into a global nervous system. Of COURSE AI is terrifying. The frontier is SUPPOSED to scare the shit out of you. That’s how you know you have, in fact, located the fucking frontier. The answer is not recklessness, but it sure as fuck isn’t paralysis either. America’s comparative advantage is an unusually high national tolerance for ambitious weirdos staring at impossible things and saying “Yeah... I think I can build it.” That trait is rarer than oil, harder to manufacture than semiconductors, and responsible for a frankly preposterous amount of the modern world. And you absolutely will not fucking regulate it out of us.
