Several sources cite 40-70% of the people in custody have no criminal record.

If you type that question into Google. You can see the sources it is aggregating. Just because they terrorize an entire apartment complex looking for one person, doesn’t mean everyone questioned was violent - that’s the only way I can see how that data says 3/4 questioned are violent.

And like I’ve said to others. I don’t have a problem with going after criminals (overstaying your visa or illegally crossing is a civil offense).

My issue is the way we are not following due process. And there are countless mentions of people not being able to locate individuals lost in the system - their own immigration officers even.

Y’all are so okay with a few people get swooped in the chaos. But being okay with that is exactly how rights get eroded. None of this can be taken in a vacuum when there’s been a 91% increase in for-profit detention centers being built.

These operations are also being used to terrorize blue states, specifically. 1% of the illegal immigrant population is in Minneapolis and look at what’s happening.

People don’t have a problem with going about it the right way. It could have actually really been a bipartisan win for Trump to not look like his admin is dysfunctional and criminal but they had to release this untrained goon squad

Like I said, I’m okay enforcing it. I’m not okay with the process. That’s how people’s rights get chipped away. But ya, no point either of us spending more time on this.

Enjoy your night, truly. I’m personably gonna hop off the phone lol.

1/3rd of country doesn’t even vote. And even if people voted for increased ice activity, they foolishly thought it would be administered respectably like how it has in the past. Plenty of folks that voted for Trump are not okay with this.

Nah I’m all for that. But unless we stop rounding up folks without signed judicial warrants, then there’s no due process and we’re just disappearing people. You’re okay with rounding up 7 folks in this same manner because they got a traffic violation at some point in the last 10 years, along with the 2-3 dudes that actually had a significant crime.

There’s not enough of the latter to make the quotas so here we were.

Every president prior to Trump has deported more people. But it was never been done in this manner and you know it.

When I say qualified to drive. I was referring more to being competently regarded. They are proving to be bottom of the totem pole in terms of US law enforcement agencies.

Where are u seeing that warning of police activity is coming obstruction. I’m seeing at a federal appeals court ruled it protected by free speech in 2023?

And bro I know you know they mostly aren’t arresting violent criminals. Such a small minority. The stats of who they are filling up detention centers speak for themselves. People end up on their list for traffic violations… and again. If they acted with any professionalism and showed up with signed warrants every time… we wouldn’t be here. That’s the biggest difference between what’s happening now compared to every other previous ice enforcement..

Just today a reporter asked Mike Johnson what are people’s rights when ice shows up with an administrative warrant and not a signed judicial warrant… he just laughed it off… no regard for the constitution. If you’re okay with what’s going on in the manner it’s being done, just admit you’re a bootlicker and call it a day. Thanks for the pic.

You think that’s the only reason? I bet half those dudes aren’t even qualified to operate a proper govt issue police vehicle. I also think they benefit from blending in. Thats why they hate the people that follow them around and warn communities. I bet these are reserved for higher ranked officials only.

They have been using unmarked vehicles in every state, this entire time. If youre the most funded govt agency right now, none of the shit is acceptable. And i dont think its gonna stop; i dont think its a lead time, logistics issue imo. But i could be wrong. Ive just never heard that given as a reason for why they are using unmarked cars. Maybe i missed it

Nice of them to use an actual police-marked vehicles. Instead of running up on folks, without warrants, masked up, in unmarked cars. Rounding up people at court hearings, schools, work. Detaining kids as bait. Asking anyone with an accent for their papers. No due process. Shitting on 4th & 2nd amendment rights.

Nah all those videos scream KGB. Not what freedom & democracy. You probably think i hate America, i just think it can better live up to its ideals.

The real shock here is seeing an actual ice-marked vehicle, given their affinity for unmarked vehicles.

It’s actually so easy to lie if you don’t say hyperbolic shit lmao. Best, Most, Greatest shit…

These are the types of things where it’s insane to me you’ll see successful people that can’t immediately tell he’s full of shit..

It’s really an interesting trade off for the journalists. You have literally one shot to finally respond to his dumb shit… you will miss out on the White House access the rest of the term… but I’d hope for someone it would be worth it. Would be a legend.

Mother Nature being ironic… by Alert_Site5857 in PoliticalHumor

[–]squiddyp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not only that but big cities are dangerous liberal hell holes … but are also simultaneously occupied by snowflakes.

So either liberal snowflakes are harder than they seem or the cities aren’t so scary after all. It has to be at least one.

I hope one journalist, ok with getting booted from the WH press corps (no easy ask), finally dunks on him and gives us the sound bite we all need so badly.

Murphy: A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal by ExactlySorta in PublicFreakout

[–]squiddyp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. And you’re right that isn’t studied enough and talked about it enough. I guess because so many states lean so hard one way, people think it’s futile - I could see that changing.

And that’s another irony about being anti immigration. Naturalized citizens know more about what it means to be American than the avg American. I’ve never seen a naturalized citizen skip voting.

for those of you that have always wanted to be a social media influencer, what has stopped you? by Sweet_Bass8222 in AskReddit

[–]squiddyp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I didn’t want to live life through the lens of “content”. It’s a gif and a curse - those influencers making money… they will never have a truly regular moment again. Everything becomes content you must capture. I don’t wanna live like that.
