Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

... they check the person's name/identity/documents... that's how you know if the person is legal or not...
That's called a part of due process, you dizzy fuck
Who checks? A judge? Krisi Noem?
You're not getting this.
Are you saying people are being deported without getting their identity checked?
Yes
Absolutely.
Tangentially related is the story of Mahmoud Khalil, who was here completely legally on a green card. He wasn't quite deported, but he was put through hell despite doing nothing wrong.
Listening to this would do you good.

Edit: The first part is about soccer and can be skipped, though it is entertaining.
There are citizens that have come to the United States legally that are being deported without due process. Yes that is happening.
Who checks?
Who makes sure the person checking doesn't have a reason to lie about the person's legal status?
How many people are checking?
What steps should be given if someone isn't able to provide paper work within 2 micro seconds of an ice agent looking at you?
What about the overwhelming majority of people that took legal steps to move to the US (as in actually following due process unlike the made up lies would indicate) but something out of their control happens like Trump decides he doesn't like the country they came from
Or they are actively on their way to getting full citizenship but ice abducts them anyway?
Or ICE abducts someone who was following their terms in being in the country.
