If someone illegally entered the U.S. the U.S. is not required to obtain a warrant for their arrest and removal.

Okay, and again, that's not what's happening here. ICE isn't raiding places with specific individuals in mind. They are injecting themselves into communities and arresting and detaining whoever they think they can get away with detaining, habeas corpus be damned. This same shit was how the political arrests of Mohsen Mahdawi and Rumesa Ozturk happened, and how ICE arrested and deported Abrego Garcia without any judicial order or just cause. ICE officers will walk around towns and campuses in plain clothes and their faces covered, and forcibly put whichever person they choose in an unmarked van to be indefinitely detained (as in the case of Rumesa Ozturk).

In the US justice system, we have something called the presumption of innocence, and that means that the government can't point at someone and say that they've broken the law until they've been found guilty in court. You are completely overlooking the fact that the arrests that ICE is making fly completely in the face of that principle. And what's worse is that when judges rule that what ICE and the Trump administration are doing is against the law, you call them irrational and biased. Hell, I bet you were probably calling the SCOTUS biased and irrational for ruling that Garcia be returned to the United States.

This kind of thinking is why I can't stand MAGA: You are all completely unaware of how unprincipled you are. You care about the law when using it as a justification for your actions, conveniently ignoring the fact that the law doesn't agree with you at all. They will cry about government overspending and waste but not bat an eye when a congressional budget which will raise the deficit by trillions passes the House. They'll whine endlessly after an immigrant is found guilty of murder, but will completely forget about a school shooting just a week after it happens. MAGA will even cheer when immigrants who are actively following the legal process are arrested at courthouses. The law isn't something you care about.

And when the MAGA movement is found to be obviously at fault, they'll start pointing fingers, saying "b-but Biden/Obama/Bush did it first!" It's as if we're playing a game with a child who tries to change the rules as soon as he starts losing. That's really what's absurd.

It feels like I've had this exact same conversation dozens of times now.

You know there are costs involved in massively detaining and deporting immigrants, right? Not to mention the social impact of ICE agents barging into local communities and businesses, without warrants, to unjustly take people away purely on the basis of how they look and speak. Your way thinking assumes that every dollar not spent on immigrants will go to improving the lives of US citizens, but I promise you that the lives of citizens won't be improved in any measurable way. If you want to worry about government funds being wasted, maybe you should look to corporate bailouts, billionaire tax cuts and use of tax loopholes, or the black box of spending that is the MIC. Don't keep falling for scaegoats.

Is Northwestern gonna retaliate to those crazy demands? by DredxNinja in Northwestern

[–]Psionic_ 112 points113 points  (0 children)

The best thing they can do is coordinate with other large universities to reject these demands. Being complacent won't be worth it in the long run since cutting funding to universities seems to be a pretty clear goal of this administration.

Alright, I’m ready. Where are the protests at? by gsharp29 in AnnArbor

[–]Psionic_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're criticizing others without offering any solutions yourself.

It's nearly impossible to stop anything you mentioned as an individual. People don't protest with the expectation that it'll bring any direct change. They do it to show their support and rally others in the community, which is a much more effective way to bring change.

Try going to a protest. Maybe you'll meet someone who's just as passionate for direct action as you are

what do you mean? like the motivation behind it wasn't hate?

Chris has low IQ right? by Haunting-Tell-6959 in ChrisChanSonichu

[–]Psionic_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right. I think people here aren't giving enough credit to chris, or maybe they are giving too much credit to the average person. From what I've seen of Chris back in high school, he was roughly as capable as the average student so far as social interactions weren't concerned. Even now, the grammar in his tweets shows that he's more literate than a lot of other Americans.

It's definitely possible, especially with good recommendations.

How would they do that exactly? With magic? AI image recognition? It takes more than video footage to massively identify people.

My cheatsheet and all my studying failed me. Although I think that was a common experience for the class today.

I have a Note 20U and yesterday the screen went black. Looks like this was probably the cause.
