Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

More info on the circumstances: https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/23/ice-arrested-mexican-immigrant-after-hearing-before-judge-dugan/83233154007/

Last week's arrest marked at least the third time in recent months that federal immigration agents have come to the courthouse with arrest warrants. In March and early April, two people were arrested by ICE officials in the hallways of the courthouse.

Following the earlier arrests at the courthouse, county officials and stakeholders expressed concerns about the impact ICE's presence has on immigrants' accessing the justice system and other services at the courthouse.

"The last thing we want is to interfere with the legal process or sow doubt in those summoned to the courthouse about whether or not they will receive fair, impartial justice," Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley said at the time.

So shoot first, ask questions later?

Shoot first, ask questions never.

You want to ask questions? You get shot first

Increased danger to the public?

If dude was already out and about and minding his business, dude continuing to be out and about keeps the amount of danger just about the same.

He was also not out and about and minding his business, he was already in the courthouse in front of the judge. There was no danger to the public because he was at the courthouse. If anything, ICE created the danger by chasing him out of the courthouse and escalating the situation.

I know trumpers won’t ever hear about this or if they do it will be a completely twisted story and they’ll think the judge shot at the ice agents or something but the amount of mental effort it has to take to not see this as a tinpot dictator move is unbelievable. It’s hard to believe people this dumb walk among us and go to work and everything

Yeah this is pretty fucking blatant

So what do we do... We know what the response should be.. but are we gonna do it...

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 3 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

No, you won't.
There will be some soft protestations, admittedly in huge numbers, but that will be it. Then you'll accept this as normal.

It will get worse and worse over the years and a lot of you will be looking around for someone else to do something, which won't happen.
Then in 2028, though probably earlier, OrangeCunt will declare himself president for life and you'll all again look around for other people to "sort it all out". However there will be no one left to do anything as they will have been arrested, scared off, or paid off etc.
Then you'll realise that you've been taken over by the weakest, stupidest schoolyard bully in history. And you'll be the laughing stock on a global scale.

Yet all of this could have been avoided if he had been arrested and put in to court for the treasonous shit in 2021.
Hell, it still can be avoided now, but it'll take the average American to have a backbone and get out there and fight. Which also won't happen.
