Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


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.

A 19-year-old college student who was on her way to surprise her family for Thanksgiving break was detained at a Boston airport and later deported despite a federal judge's order blocking her removal, according to her attorney.

Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, who entered the U.S. from Honduras when she was 8 years old, was about to board her flight to Texas last Friday to visit her parents and siblings when airport authorities told her to step aside, her attorney Todd Pomerleau told ABC News.

Lopez Belloza was detained, informed that she had a removal order and then arrested, her attorney said. Hours after her detainment, court documents obtained by ABC News show that a federal judge ordered the government not to remove the 19-year-old from the U.S. and not to transfer her outside of Massachusetts.

I just don't understand how they can ignore federal judges and there's no consequences for anyone. These fascist creatures make me want to vomit.

The judicial has no vehicle for enforcement. Policing is an executive function, and ICE under frump has basically no guardrails, and no other policing body is doing anything to check them.

[–] TheMadCodger@piefed.social 21 points 4 months ago

Exactly. It's the only branch that doesn't have some sort of law enforcement under them. And usually this is where someone interjects with US Marshalls!!1! In normal times, sure. Except they're owned by the DOJ, and we all know how that would play out.

It's really interesting that this problem became apparent all the way back in like 1830 with the Indian Removal Act but we kinda just didn't do anything about it.

Yes and no. Police (non-federal) answer to mayors, city councils, commission boards, etc. Almost all elected positions. It’s just extremely corrupted at the local level. So next time when they murder someone in their own home without a warrant, don’t protest to the police chief. Protest to every individual member of the city council and commission board. Be a Karen, talk to their manager directly.

If the courts want to enforce the law, they can deputize citizens to carry out justice.

County Sherrifs and U.S. Marshals?

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

US Marshals are under the DOJ and they'd be told to not act.

I think the judge would need to deputize someone so they could act outside the DOJ, or at least take directions from the judge.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

Yes they do. US Marshals.

[–] oyo@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

Technically they do. If the executive is unable or fails to carry out their rulings, they can deputize anyone. They're just too afraid to actually do it.

The only court that counts is the Supreme Court, and MAGA owns it.
