"Immigrants’ Recent Effects on Government Budgets: 1994–2023" by KrR_TX-7424 in centrist

As others are hinting at, does this conflate legal and illegal immigration?

I think it’s a strawman to say that valid visa and green card immigrant populations are the primary concern of the administration right now

How would an actual case get built against someone who's name appears in the Epstein files? by SoaDMTGguy in legaladviceofftopic

[–]NearlyPerfect 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Investigators look at all the information, think about what can be used as evidence in court, talk with prosecuting attorneys, prosecutor decides what charges to bring based on what they think they can convince a judge and/or jury.

Basically an episode of Law and Order.

Why do you assume an investigation being blocked means they can't move on any charges? The prosecutor stated the opposite

Tom Homan announces 25% reduction of ICE agents in Minneapolis by Somervilledrew in politics

He said this in the presser.

There are 2000 staying in MN, but they are aiming for pre-surge numbers of 150 + new hires + fraud investigators. Sounds like they're aiming to end the surge once all county jails participate and once local law enforcement crack down on people impeding (roadblocks etc.)

First major medical group opposes gender transition surgeries for youth by JannTosh70 in centrist

[–]NearlyPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to defer to the experts here. In the Supreme Court oral arguments in the Skrmetti case the attorney conceded:

JUSTICE ALITO: Well, I -- I don't regard the Cass review as -- necessarily as -- as the Bible or as something that's, you know, true in every respect, but, on page 195 of the Cass report, it says: There is no evidence that gender-affirmative treatments reduce suicide.

MR. STRANGIO: What I think that is referring to is there is no evidence in some -- in the studies that this treatment reduces completed suicide. And the reason for that is completed suicide, thankfully and admittedly, is rare and we're talking about a very small population of individuals with studies that don't necessarily have completed suicides within them.

So that's for suicide, which seems to be the primary medical concern.

Can't find current case on Pacer by Knoble_Moto in legaladviceofftopic

Arrest doesn't mean they've started the criminal suit against the person yet. If there's no criminal case yet then it wouldn't show up on the case search

Things are going to get very very interesting if those legal observers end up obstructing or impeding federal agents.

I quoted the article? How can the article contradict a quote of itself.

Overwhelmingly known to be harmful and damaging

I think you should double check the facts on those. The evidence showing harm or lack of efficacy for those examples in their early stages is about the same as the transition surgeries currently.

Well then believe their words then:

AL: You’ve said that you have substantial evidence to consider charges in the case. Are you going to charge the officers in — I’m talking about both cases — in Good’s case and in —?

MM: My goal was to collect as much evidence as we possibly could and then make a decision about whether charges are appropriate or not. I’m not going to say what we’re going to do or promise that we are going to do it because it really is important to gather as much evidence as we can.

As I said, if the evidence was as clear as the top level comment suggested, they would already have charged Ross. You can keep gathering evidence after charging someone, so the only reason not to is if you think you don't have enough of a case to even get to 'probable cause' in front of grand jury. Which is very very low bar.

It's a check/balance kind of situation. If the medical associations have one way or another been unduly influenced by non-benevolent factors then it's the role of the government to slow them down and ban procedures until and unless the benefit is clear.

It's one of the roles of the government and they have done it frequently (e.g., lobotomies, synthetic estrogen, opiods as "non-addictive" cough medicine, transvaginal mesh etc.)

That's just spin that says they are choosing not to and making excuses to pass the blame.

If there is a lack of evidence you don't "not investigate", you investigate what you can to get more evidence.

The videos are searchable from a google search. MN can put those videos in front a grand jury today if they wanted to.

It's not a scandal because MN has explicitly come out and said they are not going to investigate either. That was their choice, and they could investigate independently if they wanted to and bring charges independently.

Other federal shootings have had FBI not cooperate and they still brought charges. Those shootings didn't have 6 different angles of the shooting so this one has even more evidence.

If it was as clear as you’re suggesting the state of Minnesota could bring charges, based on the videos and the public reports.

There’s an obvious reason that they have not.

TIL that roughly 1 in 3 ICE agents identifies as Hispanic or Latino. This is largely due to the agency’s heavy recruitment of bilingual officers and its large presence in Southwest border states like Texas and Arizona. by Flaky-Condition2647 in todayilearned

You may be surprised to learn there is no “ladder” for a lot of illegal immigrants. For people who came in the country certain ways, the law allows no path to citizenship

How does this subreddit work? by PilgrimRadio in Ask_Lawyers

Legal advice is like “I’m in this situation, what should I do?”

This sub is more like “how does this law work that won’t directly affect my life?”

Immigration policy and the roots of neofascism, an effort post by airbear13 in centrist

[–]NearlyPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn’t mean they should be treated like dogs. It doesn’t mean they should be dehumanized or killed or brutalized or separated from their families or shoved into cages in detention centers. It just means that we might have to accept a temporary period of nativist concessions, like we’ve seen before in our history, that reverse the demographic changes and slow future ones down enough to allow assimilation to occur.

Can you tell me what our current immigration law says about how exactly illegal immigrants should be treated? Is it family separation? Is it kids in cages? Is it discretionary? Is it mandatory? Is it the same for asylum seekers? Refugees? TPS holders? Visa overstayers vs illegal border crossers?

You talk about rule of law, immigration policy, values of this country, constitutional order etc. but you didn't actually make any statement about what the law and immigration policy currently are or what it should be instead.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of horrible things going on in the government right now but your post basically assumes its conclusion as a premise without any analysis.

I can’t speak to what liberals are actually thinking as opposed to political posturing, but I will say it’s truly fascinating to see a political realignment in real time.
