It's DOA, I have assurances from the chancellor.

Reddit, Meta, and Google voluntarily “complied with some of the requests” for identifying details of users critical of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sent as part of a recent wave of administrative subpoenas the Department of Homeland Security has been distributing to Big Tech the past few months, according to an anonymously sourced New York Times report.

Federal immigration officials plan to spend $38.3 billion to boost detention capacity to 92,600 beds, a document released Friday shows, as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement quietly purchases warehouses to turn into detention and processing facilities.

$38.3 billion is only barely half of their annual budget

A pretty interesting read from Dubya, very out of character for him too. A lot of obvious shade thrown in there. Alas, unfortunate that he himself laid many of the seeds that led to all of this.

Whats out of character?

George W Bush is a war criminal

I try not to be overly emotional about things and look at things with a clear head, but damn if this isn't one of the mostly genuinely passionate things I've seen and if people ask why I speak as strongly as I do, this dude sums it up.

Ah yes, melting down because old man tells at cloud.

Did you know what the latest argument is about Trump's bullshit? "He's not doing anything bad because it's legal to do and so everything he's done isn't technically a crime".

Are you going to go to Arkansas and marry a 16 year old? Legally you can.

There's no need to meltdown when your arguments are fucking stupid.

[Kaslo]

I love that Trump says "there needs to be a constitutional amendment for me to run" and ya'll are trying to use it like some big "gotcha" moment.

Don't mind me being cynical here, but ICE had been snatching kids every week of January in Minnesota. There is one school that had 4 taken. One child was used as bait.



Propublica has an investigation about all of the children ICE has taken away

There is a detention center dedicated to just children in Dilley, TX. Where as of December, ICE had 3800 in custody.

It’s getting rather tiresome to have to scroll past the growing number of “but the courts” gotcha posts to see what the high-value posters have to say about current events.

[Krandor]

high-value posters

Is this the forum equivalent of getting Ja Rule on the phone?

DHS disinformation spokeswoman for Noem, Tricia McLaughlin, has informed the DHS that she is resigning. This comes as ICE's image has become unfavorable.

Shocking that snatching kids is unpopular.

Hegseth has forced Col David Butler to retire shortly after he was selected to be promoted to Brigadier General.
