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!

He saved the Murcan taxpayer 100k.

It cost 1m.

Efficiency at its biggest and best.

Bankrupted 3 casinos.

Three.

Casinos.

The deported child could literally do a better job by doing literally nothing.

He plays on his own golf courses while taking no salary to save money. But charges the American people the premium cost at his resorts which he wouldn't allow 99% of citizens to enter.

Actually all news I see, including most of people were know about, including many human trafficked to CECOT were starting here legally.

Abrego Garcia for example came illegally, but since 2019 he actually was documented, he even had work permit and he had yearly checkups with ICE.

Many were in the process of applying for asylum, again that was the proper and legal way.

Those people were caught, because it was the easiest, as they had opening cases in courts and weren't hiding anything.

MAGA claimed that they had problem with undocumented ones from gangs, but are cheering when people who put all the effort are being deleted or worse sent to gulag.

That’s because it’s about racism. That’s all it’s ever been about. When they say “great again” they mean back to when open racism didn’t get them bullied.

Always bully racists. Always.

As part of Donald Trump‘s immigration crackdown, three U.S. citizen children were deported with their mothers by the New Orleans Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Friday morning. One of the children was undergoing cancer treatment and one of the mothers is pregnant.

Both families had lived in the country for years and had ties to their communities, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Louisiana, which warns that the circumstances of their sudden deportations raises grave due process concerns. The civil rights organization says that the first family was detained on Tuesday and the second family on Thursday, and that one of the mothers was given less than one minute on the phone before the call was abruptly dropped, after her spouse attempted to provide a phone number to legal counsel.

What, he couldn't find an orphanage to demolish?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 21 hours ago

Nah, nowadays they just cut funding and/or turn them into juvenile detention centers AKA irrevocable trauma factories.

Less bad PR AND crueler, which is a win-win for them. Win-win-win when you count all the kickbacks from the people who profit from carceral child slavery.

Good! When I say PROTECT THE CHILDREN what I mean is Protect WHITE STRAIGHT MALE Children! I'm also NOT RACIST and think DEMONRATS should STOP being so Divisive!

We know Cheeto Mussolini is at the top of this. He'll never see consequences for anything. The gestapo agents need identified and.... prosecuted.

We can't stop the orders themselves. CM isn't going to see reason or change this. We could, potentially, make the agents of the illegality reluctant to dare follow the order.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Mussolini did see consequences though so maybe there’s hope

[–] SidTheShuckle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 11 hours ago

So much for saving the children

[–] LaterRedditor@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

I genuinely couldn't tell if this was a mistake or RFK doing his thing.
