Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

I can't wait to hear from SCotUS how ICE has Qualified Immunity to do this.
I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like the current legal precedent and interpretation of Section 1983 means that people can not sue "federal agents" for violations of their freedoms protected by the Constitution and it's amendments.
They might be able to target the agency itself but I doubt it. So, the recourse would be to sue the available government body. So, they’d have to get in line to sue the US government. I think they’d be able to do this bc of the Federal Tort Claims Act.
“Including a man identified as Kim” My apologies but aren’t there like millions of Kim’s in Korea?
21.5% of South Koreans have the surname Kim.
Fair point.
Now, how many millions of those men named Kim were abducted from their job by a paramilitary and forcibly deported when staying in the USA legally and are still dealing with the aftermath of their lives being uprooted unexpectedly?
Probably like 30 out of the 200. It really is a ridiculously common name.
Edit: I just looked it up, 20% of South Koreans are called Kim.
So 40 out of 200
I dunno. How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?
Maybe the really unusual thing which made it worth mentioning the "man named Kim" in that group is that out of 200 Koreans there was only one man named Kim?
