The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Wtf is this article. Sounds like to me x is illegal but ICE did x anyways
You have these rights on paper. In fact you have no rights. It's obey or die.
You voted for this, America. But hey. Kamala wasn't a True Socialist, amirite?
Yeah, blame the lefties for not stopping the righties instead of, you know, the righties.
I mean seriously you think that the people who didn't vote for Kamala were such a large portion of the population they outnumber maga? That's wildly optimistic.
you have a legal rights to defend yourself with a firearm, which the gop and even tried is trying to discourage from.
Remember kids, murder is against the law. So, if ICE tries to murder you like they did those 2 other people just say, "thats illegal".
They will have no choice but to stop murdering you.
ICE has murdered about 50 people so far this year.
They don't just execute white people in the streets. Don't forget that they also operate concentration camps that have been murdering brown people for years
Also tell them a judge has decided they cannot destroy evidence of your murder, so they need to carefully document it, or else not at all so there's nothing to save.
Hey man, I’ve got like… rights and stuff!
You de facto do not have a right to have your rights honored though. If an agent wants to put a slug in your head, they will demonize you, maybe persecute your friends and anyone sticking up for you.
The state needs to file open murder charges for both executions. There is nothing to investigate that is a cowardly cop out
I don't think the ICE officer will care about your rights, much less about rights that they don't even know...
YSK legal rights don't mean shit to administrations that don't respect the law. Compliance with ICE can be deadly - arm yourself and do whatever you need to do to stay safe.
Sadly 100% this. These jokers have proved they can just murder folk and nothing happens. Be safe be armed be ready.
None. They said your rights can be waved away at the discretion of any federal agent. Which means your rights don’t exist
But you can feel some sort of satisfaction as you count them off just before they execute you.

Does that matter, given ICE doesn't give a fuck about the law?
Those rights would count in a country still under the rule of law. Which the US is no longer.
Since when has ICE followed laws, or US presidents not been war criminals?
Shit is going down in Minnesota but they've never been more organized than they are now.

Studded tires and going slower than the posted speed limit, which normally is the expected speed and you shouldn't go more than 10% slower than it. Those are two rights that come to mind when dealing with ice.
Oh wait ICE means something else in the US. Yeah, good luck guys.
What asshole says you shouldn't go >10% slower than the speed limit.
You can if it's slippery or when there's a corner. Not on a straight dry road with good visibility. That's just pointlessly dangerous
There are very few roads with minimum speed limits. If you're driving the exact same as the speed limit, you're the one that's endangering everyone on the road.
You should always expect a bicycle around every turn that's going 5 mph.
If someone's going >10% over the speed limit, that means other people have to pass them, which is a dangerous maneuver. If they're going the speed limit, only selfish people will pass them.
Police are literally allowed stop you for going 50-60 on a 90 km/h road here in the middle of the summer. It's suspicious and a completely valid reason to check if you're drunk.
around every turn that’s going 5 mph.
But
You can if it’s slippery or when there’s a corner. Not on a straight dry road with good visibility.
I literally said that corners (tight ones anyway) and poor visibility (which corners can cause) in general are valid excuses, in addition to the aforementioned ice. "I was scared of doing 90" is not. I think you're lacking a little bit of reading comprehension. Must be the famously excellent American school system.
You do not have to pass someone who is driving safely. You could, you know, also drive safely
More realistic headline: "Here's a list of things your family can sue the government for after you're dead, once their GoFundMe goals are met".
The only rights you have with ICE are made of lead.

This is all good information. DHS doesn’t care about constitutional protections. They enter homes with administrative warrants. They can detain anyone, anytime, anywhere.
