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.

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.

States are not obliged to assist in federal enforcement activities.
They are trying to force local jails and police officers to start detaining people for ice, and citing the off duty customs agent that was shot in an attempted robbery Saturday night as proof that ICE agents are facing violence when trying to detain suspects that have already been caught and released bc of sanctuary policies.
There is no indication the off duty agent was targeted. It seems like a random crime, but they are taking the ball and running with it.
Of course, why would they release any comprehensive data? Data collection is only meant to benefit the government, not the people that pay for it with their tax dollars.
Yeah, the shit they’re doing is making them targets, whether that one guy was or not. Doesn’t change a thing, except maybe “Why should state and local police put themselves in more danger because of what federal fascists do?”
The border Czar's threat is almost identical to state laws that are being created in different red states and set to go into effect soon.
As of August 1st in Louisiana, a state law targets New Orleans sanctuary policy and makes it a felony punishable up to 10 years in prison for any state official to "hinder" federal immigration orders
What are the odds this guy pulls essentially the same language out of his ass to threaten elected officials who "stymie" federal immigration orders?
Edit: So the "border Czar" Tom Homan is part of the America First Policy Institute. No wonder this same propaganda and strategy is being used almost word for word across the entire country to force federal policy onto local jurisdictions.
The Group at the Center of Trump’s Planning for a Second Term Is One You Haven’t Heard of America First Policy Institute didn’t even exist four years ago. But it is poised to be more influential than Project 2025.
Its weird when the punishment for an elected official following the law is harsher than the illegal employers
Imagine that, being a raging asshole toward your fellow citizens makes you a target by those same citizens. Maybe try not being a dick, and nobody will threaten you.
