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!

Spoken like a true pussy, I mean democrat.
But this not what ice is. They aren’t law enforcement. That’s the problem, too.
They are immigration and customs enforcement officers.
And… we should be whittling their budget
Why are they getting more money, they got 200 billion in the bill last summer.
Technically they are, or at least should be. Customs and border control laws are still laws.
However, what they're doing now is lawlessness.
Doesn't matter they will get labeled something else. ICE is terrorizing MN law enforcement and the right doesn't care. Insurrectionists terrorizing law enforcement on Jan 6, the right didn't care. ICE is not a classic law enforcement agency anyway. These people are idiots and likely just making shit up.
Not even that. Republicans will call them anti-law anyway. They have been for years.
This abstaineousness earns them nothing. The only reason to assume they took this position is that it's what their donors want.
I'd much rather be known as anti-law enforcement than pro-nazi.
Surely Steven Miller will magically change his mind and the human rights violations will stop. Uh huh.
I'd be proud to be labeled "anti-law enforcement".
Hey now, I'm a big fan of pussies. Democrats, not so much.
We want it to go away too, but funding the actual law breakers isn't how you do it
They want it to go away, they just don't want to have to do anything to make it happen. They'd like the no risk, all reward option.
They’re the same picture.
