Some of the refugees taken to Texas have been released from custody. But instead of being flown back home, they were released in Texas “without money, identification, or phones,” CNN reported.

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!

The line was crossed ages ago.
When farmers burn weeds they often mix a popular petrochemical that's sold at most beer/cig/candy stores and simple Irish bars of lavender, it's pretty useful stuff. For burning weeds.
Or you could always just buy some soup. Soup for your family.
........am I stupid? I have zero clue what that has to do with this story. What context am I missing?
Sounds like some sort of napalm.
if a "terrifying line is being crossed" every day, how does that affect you? Is each line a new horror? or do they all blur together?
If nothing is done when the line is first crossed, and that crossing then continues to happen on a daily basis, then it has just become the new normal.
Is each line a new horror? or do they all blur together?
Yes
"We should all be standing up and saying that’s not OK. Literally, listen to what they’re saying. Active threats like, Turn over the voter rolls or else, or we will continue to do what we’re doing. That’s something you can do in America now."
And from the original NYT interview:
I spoke to Frey on Thursday afternoon, not long after Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan — who has been dispatched to Minneapolis to replace and clean up after the operation’s original commander Gregory Bovino — promised to de-escalate the situation there. He said in a news conference that there would be a drawdown of agents, only to have President Trump later deny that there was any plan to pull back.
It's this type of dissonance inside the admin that gives me hope.
There's also a YT video.
He has some pretty good answers to the interviewers annoying, pushy and leading questions.
My new shotgun and rifle arrive in 2-3 weeks...can't come soon enough.
And whatchagon do with it, eh?
I'll tell you what: jack shit. Just like all the other gun-toting posers in America.
I'm obviously not going to answer on a traceable, public forum.
You do you.
You say you won't tell what you're gonna do with your guns on a public forum, yet you feel the need to mention that you bought guns on said public forums...
Po-ser.
It's all show. If ICE shows up at your door, you'll say "Yes Sir!" and you'll scream "No! I'm a US citizen!" as they drag you away to a DHS-sanctioned concentration camp.
You'll do exactly nothing with your guns, because you know as well as I do that the ICE goons will pump you so full of bullets if you do that there will be more holes than flesh left on you.
If you had anything serious in mind, you would have kept your gun purchase hush-hush.
