Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Wait...so the guy was trying to leave and they stopped and imprisoned him?

Is one of the prerequisites for joining ICE a full frontal lobotomy?

That's one, another is a pledge to serve the interests of the corporate private prison industry.

They are losers. I mean literally losers who can't do any other job because they are too fucking stupid.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Yes. If you're arrested and charged with a immigration charge you cannot re enter the country without committing a crime, once you commit a crime they can bar you from the country permanently and hold you for the length of your sentence.

Proof it's about the cruelty. What a waste of money. I hope every ice agent involved gets their just desserts.

AND filling vacancies in all of these for-profit detention centers.

“Get back here so we can throw you out!”

Let’s give a bunch of racist, D-student, bully assholes guns and badges and zero accountability and see what happens!

Get back here so we can earn money off of your slave labor at our for-profit concentration camp

Back in my day they did their stint in the military and then went on to be cops.

But these ICE folks are something else. Most of them were too fat for the army, and too dumb for the marines.

Genuinely impressive if they’re too dumb for the marines, the dumbest woman I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting was a marine.

She was the dumbest by a wide margin and I went to high school with two girls with Down syndrome.

Neat, now imprison the people responsible for grievous negligence

A more appropriate headline:

'This is at odds with common sense': Judge grants habeas petition after [fascists keep man in concentration camp] who bought one-way plane ticket out of the country [for self-deportation]
