The cartoon is clearly in extremely bad taste and dehumanizing.
However, the context that she had been previously convicted for fentanyl trafficking is important.
It’s tough though, because if we put the cartoon aside, this is technically what they should be doing. I don’t disagree with deporting felon immigrants.
But then you consider all the history of this administration that got us here… it’s really hard to agree with them.
I don’t disagree with deporting immigrants that have been shown, trough due process, to have committed crimes.
I disagree with making fun of one of them with bad AI pictures.
I also don’t think this comic shows how the Trump government has no empathy for immigrants.
That is better shown by their actions: Deporting 250 Venezuelans to a foreign prison without due process for example.
I belive that, in the face of such clear evidence that they regard immigrants as sub-humans, there is no need to take a comic out of context to make your point.
I agree with your sentiment.

With you on that. This is a bit of a “bad example.”
And someone looking in from the outside could totally make the conclusion that “they (lemmy) are totally taking this out of context! They’re a felon!”
Like you say, there’s a menagerie of actions done by this administration that are dangerous and telling of their goals.
