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

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!

I hope he sues and gets a fat check from it.
The article is not clear. Was he held by ICE or held at the request of ICE (like it says).
So it sounds like ICE was using state resources and officers to hold him but he was freed because of a state judges rule?
This doesn't sound so much like ICE/feds giving up. But them testing which state resources and judges will play ball and who needs to be "removed".
“Lopez-Gomez was charged under a recently passed state law that made it a state crime to illegally enter the state.”
So how does tourism work now? Is there a state office for immigration?
[defined] illegal entry as occurring when an “unauthorized” alien of at least 18 years of age “knowingly enters or attempts to enter” the state after eluding immigration inspection. The crime is designated as a first-degree misdemeanor subjecting the alien to a mandatory minimum prison sentence of nine months upon conviction.
Basically tourist are fine.
But let's not kid ourselves here. Florida was always going to use this law for the lower half of the Family Guy skin chart.
Nah. Probably just some vague law about it being illegal to enter that state as a "terrorist".
Which is just a word for a brown person or a white person with a brown enough sounding name like "Lopez" or "Muhammad"
How bout we stop paying taxes and use it to fund our own police force
Everyone should organize. Countywide. Start small but committed.
This was intended as their test of birthright citizenship, which they have criticized since before the election.
Too much attention on this one, but they'll find the right person and do it, because they want it to go to the Supreme Court.
The supreme kangaroo court of the United States. SKCOTUS.
I prefer the backronym SCROTUS but I'm not sure what the R would stand for.
