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.

These are border control making arrests based on child pornography crimes. There is no ICE here. Good they are doing their job
You can stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody without public backlash so long as there is enough reasonable suspicion they're a pedophile.
This is why this article exists. To reputation launder ICE and portray their victims as all being child rapists.
Stop supporting ICE.
^1 technically incorrect. Both CBP and ICE were present.^
The title says ICE but the article body says:
Regardless there is nothing in the article suggesting they were being detained because of being illegal immigrants.
If they are illegal immigrants why bother making fake accusations when they could make real accusations and still be able to deport them? they've already deported thousands of immigrants sometimes arresting them from court heating. they don't need to make fake excuse.
Because the fake accusations get people like you to defend what would otherwise be indefensible.
Negative public sentiment causes problems and this is extremely unoriginal copoganda.
If ICE cares the tiniest bit about "people like me" they wouldn't have committed so many crimes in the open with zero consequences. My point which everybody seems to ignore is that: ICE doesn't care what I or you think and therefore they don't need to fabricate factious story
And yet they literally continue to do so both in court and in public.
Because they DO care, regardless of what you say. Their entire shtick is reliant on people NOT caring. Not that I’m agreeing or disagreeing with you or the other commenter on this specific case but thinking theyre immune to public response is wrong.
I think you have a misunderstanding of what "crime" means.
An accusation of a crime does not make that crime a reality. Interestingly CBP defines "child" as an unmarried person under twenty-one years of age ^1^
The concentration camps, child abduction+trafficking, forced sterilizations and murders perpetuated by the DHS (not just ICE but the CBP "good guys" as well) have all been repeatedly, and emphatically adjucated as being legal. Thus making them not crimes either.
There are zero consequences because they aren't crimes.
The reputation laundering is important in making sure there isn't a build up of pressure which could result in their goals, mission and methods becoming crimes.
^1 Terrible example and incredibly unrealistic, but I'm using it demonstrate weird legal contradictions and how the law™ can be twisted when used outside of formal contexts^
I'm sorry, immigrants to where exactly?
Do you know what the word means, or as long as they're brown it doesn't matter?
They weren’t immigrants, they were crew on the ship. Working, on the ship.
Why the fuck would you ever believe what this government is saying?
No, they are claiming they're doing their jobs. These people lie about the most trivial of things as well as the most important things.
Lol what? This government calls every undocumented person a pedophile to cover their ass. I wouldn't put it past Disney hiring pedophiles but we know for a fact the president is one so...
We could start referring to all conservatives as “undocumented pedophiles”
Except for the high number of them who are actually documented pedos.
