Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Per the report, "One mother who was about to be deported was allowed less than two minutes on the phone with her husband to figure out what would become of her 2-year-old U.S. citizen son," while one of the other mothers "wasn’t allowed to speak with attorneys or family members before she was deported, accompanied by her U.S.-born children," despite ICE agents knowing the child had stage 4 cancer.

according to the lawyers, their families weren't given a choice, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers stalled their efforts to make arrangements for the children, ensuring they would be sent away with their mothers.

So... Can you refute the accounts of this happening, or are you just slurping down orange dick and gargling out an excuse for it later?

No, they cannot. Look at their post history. I love tags on Lemmy!

Does that work in the web app? (I'm on feddit.org if that matters)

They're on -70 now btw. But people like that thrive on downvotes, or at least they think they do.

It works on Voyager (the one I'm using), Summit, and Thunder as well as one or two others afair

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

That’s weird. I’m on Voyager, and I don’t see that.

There's no such thing in the web ui. Ah well 🤷

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

In settings, it's the fourth from the bottom, pink icon that says "user tags".

The feature was in beta and difficult to find a few updates ago, so it's not just you being unobservant unless you checked recently 😁

You're very welcome 🙂

It’ll be specific to the app you’re using. Tags aren’t natively supported by Lemmy, so they’re just something that the app makers add in. Sort of like RES on Reddit.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago

Yep, that makes sense. Thanks.
