Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How do you even kidnap 475 people?
475 is a good number that could have fought back. That's a small army.
475 unarmed folks is nothing to a well armed force. They knew how many they were going to kidnap and they went in with a plan. Y'all armchair warriors are real rah rah when it's not your life on the line.
Every guy on the sidelines is obligated to pull a Mark Wahlberg
Nobody can conceive of flinching in the face of dozens of heavily armed ICE agents until their time comes.
wtf, it's like when we are teenagers and have all those scenarios where we save everyone
That is exactly the right wing mentality. That's what they do constantly. They're stuck in junior high hero fantasies with their guns. It's embarrassingly juvenile and just as basic bitch as it gets.
LOL, Marky Mark.
An army has training, organization, and weapons.

If I'd been there, shit would have gone down different.
Why do you think so much funding has been thrown at ICE? It's so they can kidnap people at scale.
By turning the plant into an ICE facility
