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.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
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.

Yeah that is what is so fucked. The narrative rapidly went from criminal illegals only and not 'regular' illegals, to any undocumented person, and now to anyone who is just an immigrant.
This is what is scaring the shit out of me. As a Canadian, I can visit the US and stay (but not work) for 6 months out of the year legally... but given the situation they might just arrest me st the border or just after crossing for no fucking reason. This is why I am not going in any time soon.
I’m not saying that they’re not lying about their operation being illegal immigrants.
However, when multiple sources are using slightly different language, it makes it vastly confusing.
I've told everyone around me, once they run out of one scapegoat to persecute, they find another, it's what fascists do -- because persecuting x group didnt fix y problem, so now the issue must be z group. They've moved on so fast because they ran out of illegal immigrants to target. No one seems to listen to me, no one seems to care that after trans people and immigrants it's going to be the gay and the disabled.
Did they ever finish going after trans people or accomplish what you think is necessary for them to move on to another group?
not yet, but they're moving with alarming swiftness. I estimate it will be more than six months, less than two years for their attention to turn to other "undesirables".
What is the color of your skin? If it's white, similar to the Family Guy meme, then you will be A-Ok 👍🏻
I am a naturalized Canadian citizen. I have Middle Eastern features (but I am lighter skinned than many whites) but I could pass for Italian.
