Trump's promised ICE raids have begun

Since when does anyone believe what DHS has to say? In fact I remember a request for a link that specified nothing from DHS not too long ago.

Oh, so you and this time I mean you personally, do have a Bluesky account.

You do, you dishonest interlocutor. I refuted your claims with direct quotes from the administration you admire, and now you disavow them.

Nope, I do not. If you insist I have you are a liar and as such, gaslight someone else please.

◊◊◊◊ this ◊◊◊◊, this bull ◊◊◊◊. You are embarrassed because I've destroyed your recent assertions and you're butthurt.

Bye-bye, dishonest intelocutor. Please, have the last, dishonest word if you like.

Well...Reasondotcom have amended their ridiculous fearmongering headline (see post 2949) and added a correction at the bottom of the article.

Let's see what it reads like now.

Could the Feds Throw You in Jail for Merely Filming ICE Immigration Raids?​


Link still contains the old title within it so it shows up on a direct copy pasta.

Could the feds throw you in jail for merely filming ICE immigration raids?

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said "videotaping" agents was violence—but Border Patrol brought a film crew to Chicago-area raids.

Oh wait, now it does.

They still haven't caught it over at the good ole' JFC paranoia machine

Historians: Quibbling Over Exact Definition Of Concentration Camp Sign Of Healthy Society

Historians: Quibbling Over Exact Definition Of Concentration Camp Sign Of Healthy Society​

 
I still think it's a poor name for holidays for kids with Attention Deficit Disorder.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are planning to spend $100 million over a one-year period to recruit gun-rights supporters and military enthusiasts through online influencers and a geo-targeted advertising campaign, part of what the agency called a “wartime recruitment” strategy it said was critical to hiring thousands of new deportation officers nationwide, according to an internal document reviewed by The Washington Post.

The spending would help President Donald Trump’s mass-deportation agenda dominate media networks and recruitment channels, including through ads targeting people who have attended UFC fights, listened to patriotic podcasts or shown an interest in guns and tactical gear, according to a 30-page document distributed among officials in this summer detailing ICE’s “surge hiring marketing strategy.”

The Department of Homeland Security has spoken publicly about its fast-tracked effort to significantly increase ICE’s workforce by hiring more than 10,000 new employees, a surge promoted on social media with calls for recruits willing to perform their “sacred duty” and “defend the homeland” by repelling “foreign invaders.” The agency currently employs more than 20,000 people, according to ICE’s website.

But the document, reported here for the first time, reveals new details about the vast scale of the recruitment effort and its unconventional strategy to “flood the market” with millions of dollars in spending for Snapchat ads, influencers and live streamers on Rumble, a video platform popular with conservatives. Under the strategy, ICE would also use an ad-industry technique known as “geofencing” to send ads to the phone web browsers and social media feeds of anyone who set foot near military bases, NASCAR races, college campuses or gun and trade shows.

To paraphrase Arthur Wellesley, I don't know what effect these men will have on the migrants, but by God they repel me.

Nah, too much work. I've got a box of cheap red plonk on the go.
But hey, I'm old, white, male, and while not rich, relatively well off. Although I do live in a relatively blue county of a blue state, they probably aren't coming for me.

Never say never. There are cultist clowns around that think any criticism of ice is a threat.

I thought she praised Trump? Handsome and dashing, iirc, that ought to be enough for her to get to stay, I would have thought?

Apparently the petitions are because she said something anti-LBGTQ. Which is disconcerting, if it means people from 'the other side' is also adopting a drumpfian mindset too.

I swear to god, I'm growing so tired of people one year into the Dump regime going 'but but that's against the Constitution!'. It's like being in the middle of a hostage situation where someone has already stormed the bank, shot three security guards, made off with two million dollars cash, set fire to the bank, killed three cops in a shootout, caused several traffic accidents , blown up a bridge with dynamite to deter pursuit, and run over five pedestrians. Now they're going over the speed limit and not using turn signals and one of the hostages is going 'wait, that's illegal!'.

Yes, Dump is violating the Constitution. He's also breaking the law, ignoring the judiciary branch, and using international laws and treaties as toilet paper. Are we going to stop being surprised by this soon or is this going to go on until the Dump regime finally falls?
 
That's not a no rhen.

FOX NEWS: There's tremendous concern among the hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who are here in the US legally through TPS. Are you gonna force them to return to Venezuela even as their govt is in complete flux?

KRISTI NOEM: Venezuela is more free than it was yesterday, and it's gonna continue to be that way as long as President Trump is in the White House

Texas man impersonating ICE agent stops driver—illegally detains the Black man and searches his truck.

Attempted kidnapping only thwarted when community volunteers stopped to film the suspicious "arrest."

"He looked at their IDs, he shined a flashlight in their face," witness said. "He was doing everything a normal officer does."

"But then the fact that he wouldn't give me his name or his badge number was a big red flag."

Joshua Warner was arrested with a fake law enforcement ID card and badge—his vehicle was also seized because it was disguised like an unmarked police vehicle.

Police are searching for additional victims—please contact the Galveston Police

Not long after World War II the West dissolved its empires and colonies and began sending colossal sums of taxpayer-funded aid to these former territories (despite have already made them far wealthier and more successful). The West opened its borders, a kind of reverse colonization, providing welfare and thus remittances, while extending to these newcomers and their families not only the full franchise but preferential legal and financial treatment over the native citizenry. The neoliberal experiment, at its core, has been a long self-punishment of the places and peoples that built the modern world.

He must be a complete and utter moron if he couldn't get a real job at ICE.
