The Process For The Mass Deportations is as Follows: I messaged a friend in Texas a few days ago to ask him about the mass deportations that have occurred in the United States. I wanted to know if he or his community have been affected in any way. In his words, and I quote: "I read your messages, and I appreciate you checking in on me. I am doing fine! I was not affected, I do not pray to be affected, and I will never be affected, by God's grace. Absolutely! I am U S citizens, it doesn't affect U S citizens, keeping that in your mind.
