Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Considering the US is going back to the 1800s, no better time to start treating the Irish like shit again.
MAGA will decide they want to deport Irish-Americans. Ireland will respond by saying they don't let people claim residency that many generations back. MAGA will piss and moan. Eventually they will make a deal with the UK government. The UK government will build a large prison camp in Northern Ireland, right near the border with the Republic of Ireland. Irish Americans will be banished to the camp, in direct line of site from ROI land, until such time as ROI willingly accepts them in as refugees.

The Irish were not considered white until around 1930 or so. When the demographic shifts in the US required we be white in order to stave off the dreaded brown folk. The old bigot who lived next door to me growing up called me a tater tot until her dying day. I remember my grandfather talking about how one day he had bankers basically offering him a loan. Up until that point he was treated like shit at the bank.

Prick. I heard two young American girls refer to the Irish as potatoes, in Dublin. They thought nobody could hear them then were properly embarrassed when they saw me.
The English were directly responsible for killing a million Irish people. They get hate for it, but not enough.

“I bet she has tattoos!”
I'd be willing to bet the universal common denominator for anyone who isn't brown is simply that they're antifascist.
Gotta say "antifa" (ann-TEE-fuh) so it sounds like a bad thing. Like an exotic gang, like al Qaeda or something. That way, normal people think antifa is the enemy, and in doing so, they support fascism without even knowing it.
Naming and pronunciation are key. They got half of America terrified of a fucking train halfway across the world.
Same reasoning behind using DEI instead of the actual words that acronym represents.

Just wait until they figure out where Kash Patel is "really" from. Bet you the crocodile tears will run like rivers.
Wait.. why would they detain her let alone deport? She has legal residency.
Well it’s simple really—because the fascists decree it to be so.
This makes residency permits completely worthless. Greencard holders other visa holders can all just be randomly detained when traveling.
US Citizens have been getting deported, we're far past that already.
These were all minors of deported parents no? At least there's a bad reason for it.
Tbf this was also a bad reason to detain this woman. They'll expand it to native-born American criminals, and then """criminals."""

They've also "deported" (exiled is a better word) actual citizens. Someone on a green card has less protection than that.
They have quotas to fill. Makes sense for them to pick these low-hanging fruits.
If she believed the drug charges were expunged and they were not, then she likely filled out the wrong immigration form and was granted residency because she "lied" on a government immigration document.
With a drug charge she very likely would not have been approved for residency. But this also means it's an oversight by USCIS, because the applicants criminal history should have been reviewed at the time of her application.
Something isn't adding up here.
There was a story a couple weeks ago about another person getting deported on expunged charges. I'm guessing some agencies still keep records after expungement (I've heard they still show up when getting security clearance), and they're using that data.
My bet is on it was expunged and this is them just using arrest records to justify bullshit. Now they will call her a CRIMINAL and anything they do is fine, as she is a dirty criminal.
The really really scary part is that they can arrest someone now on trumped up charges (like a judge that rules kidnapping is bad) then later "deport" them do to past arrests.

But she's white!? (Sort of /s)
I guess the Irish and Italians aren't white any more. We're getting closer to pinning down the time period where America was 'great'.
As a Jewish person, I think I can see where this is going
Going? We've already arrived.

I expect proving that you own some of Trump's memecoin will be the only way to avoid deportation soon. The god emperor can forgive any sin if you kiss the ring

I have a close friend from Venezuela, who was a warded citizenship on December, so she thinks she's safe. I'm keeping quiet, because I don't want to scare her, but Venezuelans, who used to enjoy a special immigration privileges in America because their country was being led by a rogue dictator, has become one of the most demonized groups in America.
The MAGA Nazis don't respect anything, and having a green card or even citizenship isn't going to save anyone. They want to deport people who were actually BORN here, they definitely want to kick out every person that was born elsewhere.
My friend, also naturalized and from Venezuela, knows he's not safe. We've talked. It sucks.
It would be hilarious to see this regime shooting itself in both feet before shooting itself in the head, if this weren't some route to a full-blown 'eMerGENcy' which they can then use to deactivate democracy all together.
C'mon let this establish precedent so I can get 'deported' to the home country after 150 years.
Also, why did she get sent across the country from San Fran to the SeaTac area? Is Washington acting like the Louisiana of the West Coast, what the fuck?
Where exactly are you coming up with the idea that San Francisco California and Tacoma Washington are "across the country" from one another?
The 800 miles of separation North-South.
We are a big country and Florida Keys to Maine is about 1800 miles, Wilmington NC to Barstow CA is about 2500 miles
Seems like up and down should count too sometimes. But we need a better word than across, especially if it can't be safely driven in a single day by a single driver without stopping to sleep.
(San Fran to SeaTac is about 800 miles)
