For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
“Having a family member in the military is not a free pass to violate our nation’s laws,” the DHS said.
I hope more people realize this and understand that by "serving" the state you are also protecting ICE.
What a great way to make your trained killers remember their oath to the Constitution to protect against its enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Is the implication that ICE and DHS is a domestic enemy? How does that square with the rest of the oath
I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
If those orders are illegal you have a sworn duty to disobey them.
I understand there will be a lengthy court martial and perhaps many will not win. But if we ever get to the point of holding people accountable for all that is going on (and they better hope it’s us and not some outside forces), they will be held as co-conspirators.
according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
...meaning you're not supposed to obey unlawful orders, which includes anything that violates the US Constitution or the Geneva Convention...
It squares because the Constitution is supposed to be the supreme law of the land. The people currently occupying these offices come and go.
“This is heartbreaking for me. I don’t know how I can mentally continue working 12+ hour days knowing that my dad is somewhere, possibly being treated like a criminal.”
My dude, they are already treating him like a criminal.
They're treating the troops as expendable slaves, so what else is shocking.
Signing up to kill and die for a country that actively, openly hates you was certainly a choice.
awww. STOP VOLUNTEERING FOR THE MILITARY.
Obama's immigration policy, especially in his second term, prioritized the deportation of people with criminal records. Under Trump, only 29% of deported people had a criminal conviction. Most had no criminal record.
edit = cut and pasted from 'factually' site.
And Trump is paying billions more for ICE.
29%
No way it's that high. Unless something has drastically changed over the past six months, I think you're off by an order of magnitude. Last I looked it was closer to 2.9%
You are probably right. I used one source. Edited.
It's 29% if you take into account the administration lying about who's a criminal.
(This is not a real statistic)
This is how you radicalize soldiers
thats also why dictators/fascist keep thier military weak and incompetent. not paying them enough, barely sustaining them, defunding them.
But also wanting to ~~invade neighbors~~ conduct special military operations, for some reason, with that same military. O.o
Kinda reminds me of WWII when we had Japanese American soldiers and likely their families in camps with all of their assets seized.
Just when you think America is scraping rock bottom ethics/morality/humanity, they surprise you by going even lower.
The families of people who serve in the military should not be treated better than any other American family is, so this is not a new low, it's just the same low as usual.
They should if you don't want the people you personally trained to be killers to turn on you.
Pissing off military service members is a bold move.
Right?! If this were any other country, we would've had multiple military coups forcefully removing the orange shitstain from office.
If they had a strong will they wouldn’t have joined an imperial army to begin with. I don’t think there’s much to worry about.
I will not give a fuck about these stories until I can reliably feel like they a) didn't vote for this and b) wouldn't vote for this yet again.
The consequences of my actions are suddenly facing me, and now I don't wish for it to happen to me or my family anymore. But I still wish for it to happen to everybody else, so I'm still gonna vote for it. GoFundMe when?
Right? Yeah .. 51%ish people voted for him, and if you didn't vote at all, then you helped cause it. Not that I think Kamala wasn't a lying piece of shit, but I'd rather have 4 years of stagnation than 4 years of what we're getting.
TBH I think the Democrats have it in the bag next election if they provide someone remotely competent. The die hard Trumpies will always vote right, but I think a lot of people were on the fence will go left as a knee jerk reaction.
Come on Yankee soldiers, mutiny!
Yeah I mean...imagine...you'd have an aircraft carrier.
Everybody listens to an aircraft carrier.
Owners get richer,
The more people they put in,
Concentration camps
Any reason you responded in haiku?
The real question is once you recognized the format why didn't you follow suit
You son of a bitch
That would have been a good move
What was I thinking?
And what did they expect?
This is the current state of the US.
Be afraid.
I'm suprised the military hasn't turned on him, but I suspect they will once he crys fowl on election day once they have true justification.
Idk, I don't have much faith left in Americans. I feel like we've been through "surely they'll do something once " too many times now
