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!

Remember that it’s never about immigration enforcement. There is plenty of money and manpower to care for these people properly and to perform lawful and professional immigration control operations in cities where it is a problem. Even now, the Trump administration has only managed to deport about as many immigrants as Biden, and that was without mass unrest.
Instead, violent and undertrained ICE goon squads are sent wherever the administration thinks it can get away with it, and money is funneled to contractors enabled to spend as little money as possible on incarceration with de facto torture as a feature. The goal here is two-fold:
To enact a white nationalist expulsion and extermination of whoever they deem to be sufficiently brown enough for their myopic and hateful ideology, and anyone else that dares to stand against them.
To foment unrest in Blue cities for fruitful opportunities to provoke violence and hamper elections. (For instance, at the fucking Super Bowl.)
Just like the early Nazi concentration camps, these “ICE detention centers” are hastily planned, quickly built, sparsely accommodated, and intended to house enemies of the state in “protective custody”. The only difference is that the “enemies of the state” here are the enemies of American white nationalists, and the “protective custody” is for hold them for deportation. If they die in custody, there is no real accountability because that’s the end goal.
These are Concentration Camps. If this pattern continues unchecked, there will be an American holocaust.
But also these kids get distributed to Trump’s pedo friends. Because Trump is a pedo.
