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.

Across the country, 10 people have died in ICE custody since January.

I think at this point we can characterize it as killing. ICE is killing people.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 67 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Killing people in their death camps, too.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 12 points 11 months ago

We are all being killed on this glorious day.

While I hate what's happening in the US right now as much as the next guy, let's not over-inflate the language used. It doesn't help anybody.

If we start calling what's currently there "ICE death camps" because 10 old people died across the whole country, people will get jaded, will start ignoring the cries for help as alarmist. And THEN the actual death camps will show up, but by that time nobody will be paying attention.

Exactly as it happened with Gaza.

The United States government is killing citizens and residents it deems undesirable. ICE is just the bullet.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 10 points 11 months ago

Before that it was DHS, FBI, various police sheriff's departments. It's just escalating and will continue to do so.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How many do you think have died in the El Salvadorean gulag

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

the complete silence about everyone else who was deported there is the scariest fact.

the media just forgot about them, they latched on one person and the rest are forgotten. they will likely never see the lights of day.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 8 points 11 months ago

Because they're invisible now.

We sent reporters over there and now those reporters are threatened against speaking up.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 4 points 11 months ago

I bet that count is low

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 3 points 11 months ago

It reminds me of nazi Germany.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

I can only imagine that they'll hand pick the most heartless people they can find to run the detention centers.

Have we not heard multiple stories from people detained how all they get is a space-blanket and pretty much have to sleep on concrete?

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Out of curiosity, if they weren't mistreating people, what would the expected number of deaths be given the total number of people-days of detention since January?
