The Claud, Sykes, Lowe, Doles, and Vinson families (from Southampton County, Virginia).

One of the most important ancestors in my family tree is a woman named Moby Lee Sykes (1866-1932). She lived in Suffolk, Virginia where many of my maternal ancestors migrated to from Southampton County, Virginia. Moby Lee Sykes' parents were Willis Sykes and Lydia Claud.

The Lowe, Vinson, Brown, and Doles families lived in Virginia, North Carolina, and some migrated into as north as New Jersey.

Trump wants ICE to remove millions of undocumented immigrants from America. This is impossible to do unless you enact fascist, totalitarian policies. There is no other way to put it. Trump is notorious to have overt hatred of non-white immigrants. He is totally consumed to promote the myth that the only true Americans is one who speaks English and is of European descent. The truth is that the first Americans in human history didn't speak English and were people of color. The indigenous peoples of the Americas were victims of European colonialism and genocide. Black people were victims of slavery, peonage, and Jim Crow. Today, we still see many undocumented immigrants being placed in internment camps, having their families separated, and then experiencing horrendous conditions in various facilities. The humanitarian crisis on the southern border has been exacerbated by Trump's policies. Since the beginning, Trump demonized many Mexican undocumented immigrants as rapists and murderers. ICE weren't informed of enforcement plans.

Trump had his re-election campaign in Orlando, Florida. In that rally, he made the lie that being an undocumented immigrant is synonymous with being a gang members, a criminal, etc. He said that his campaign is against "radical socialism" omitting that socialist ideals are found in Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, and other social programs. Socialism is an economic point of view that wants workers or public control of the means of production not totalitarianism. We have massive socialism for the rich and unfettered capitalism for the poor, but Trump refuses to talk about that because of the obvious reason. Also speaking anonymously to the Los Angeles Times, a Trump administration official confirmed that the massive assault would begin by targeting the more than one million immigrants who are subject to removal orders but have not been arrested by federal agents. Mass deportations in the millions will harm families, farming, meat packing locations, and other jobs. Trump is an overt fascist.
