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!

“It is absolutely absurd for a district judge to try to dictate the foreign policy and national security of the United States of America,” DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said. “These are the monsters that the district judge is trying to protect.”

No. That district judge is trying to protect the all of our due process rights. Rights which are guaranteed under the 14th amendment to each and every person within the jurisdiction of the United States of America, citizen or not. Because if any one person is denied these rights, then they can be denied to any of us. How can you prove you are a not a murderer, or a rapist, or even than you are a citizen if you are denied your right to due process?

They still call them "monsters" and "criminals" as if those are proven facts.

We know they are purposefully dehumanizing these people.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Exactly. If they had any proof, they could provide it in court, but they do not want to do that. They don't want a thousand trials, they just want to deport tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people with no oversight.

So will they issue an arrest warrant? No?

Well I guess he isn't being punished so he'll keep doing it.
