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.
- 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.
- 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!

Has anyone, who still believes in democracy, ever questioned the purpose of the full face masks? It seemed pretty clear from the beginning, that masks were there to allow for their abuses to escalate unchecked?
Thanks Mr. Obvious, I guess I never made the connection.
The Atlantic-- always on the cutting edge
No shit
law enforcement officers who don’t work at ICE or Border Patrol have a death rate 6.3 times higher than that of immigration enforcement officers.” In fact, the report found, immigration agents are at no greater risk than regular people: “The chance of an ICE or Border Patrol agent being murdered in the line of duty is about one in 94,549 per year, about 5.5 times less likely than a civilian being murdered.
Seems like immigrants are less dangerous then citizens
The crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States,” Graff writes.” Statistically speaking, “worst of the worst” seems to describe CBP and the Border Patrol as law-enforcement agencies better than it does the people they’re rounding up
And less dangerous than CBP it seems
It's obvious that ICE/CBP aren't about crime, they exist to enforce white nationalism
Enforcing white nationalism is the only reason the Border Patrol has ever existed.
Very true
“The chance of an ICE or Border Patrol agent being murdered in the line of duty is about one in 94,549 per year, about 5.5 times less likely than a civilian being murdered.
These fucks are less likely to die than any random person and they still want carte blanche to execute anyone who looks at them wrong? They can rot in hell.
Even if they were following the law and had no agenda or ulterior motives they wouldn't be about crime. And that's part of the problem. They avoid constitutional limitations associated with all other forms of law enforcement by having only administrative authority and dealing with civil law.
It's like giving postal workers body armor and assault rifles and letting them abduct anyone that they suspect might have used improper postage or that had thrown away junk mail addressed to someone else while claiming everyone they attack had been terrorists sending letter bombs.
It seems pretty obvious considering undocumented folk are extremely unlikely to have firearms, you know with them not having documentation to obtain one legally.
No shit I've been saying this from the beginning.
No shit.
You don't say.
Thank you Captain Obvious

ORLY?
Those poor ice agents are clearly risking their lives by wearing face masks and coverings. How can they possibly breathe? /s
Putting that uniform on should come with the same mortal liability that the Nazi uniform did.
That your comment is sarcastic is an utter failure from the rest of us.
Weirdest excuse for KKK Cosplay I've ever seen.
