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!

If "migrants" have no right to appeal to the courts, citizens don't really have the ability to either.

This administration has repeatedly shown not to care about the status or criminal history of any non-US-born person. Also, they have revoked the status of legal migrants to be able to call them "illegal migrants" directly after, despite them doing everything correctly and being in America legally until the rug was pulled out from under them.

And aside from all of that, why are we okay with the government even thinking of doing this to anybody??? That should be a major red flag even as something they are considering. But based on their previous actions, it's definitely something they want to do, which is even worse

EDIT: Just realized your username is "freedom advocate". You of all people should be against this.

I want to add that the people in charge of these policies have repeatedly made statements showing that their true feelings/intent aren't about legal/illegal status:

  • Stephen Miller said in public that the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia (whose deportation to a modern day concentration camp was, by their own admission, an "administrative error") actually said the opposite of what it did. He's made a lot of off-hand statements about migrants, usually to avoid mentioning their legal status, to the tune of "they don't look like you" or "you wouldn't want him as your neighbor" which is literally just racism.
  • Tom Homan "border czar" said in an interview that to prevent family separation, they can just deport the whole family.
  • Kristi Noem has made few appearances but each time it seems like she's "cruelty is the point" personified. For instance, she recently did a photo op at CECOT with prisoners behind her with the classic "this is what you get if you come here illegally" speech. But to me the worst part is when, totally unforced, she wrote in her book about how she killed her puppy with a bullet to the head because it wasn't keen on killing animals on its first hunting trip and wanted to play instead. When asked about it, she said that "that's just what you do on the farm" and started listing other animals she'd killed for mild annoyances.

These people are psychopaths. They saw it's easy to suck up to Trump and convince him to support their ideas in exchange for treating him like dear leader. I maintain that Trump is the only one in that admin who isn't a soulless demon, but he's so easy to flatter.
