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

Donald Trump ordered ICE officers to prioritize deportations in Democrat-run cities in a wild Truth Social rant Sunday night.

Trump issued the unprecedented, politically motivated orders just hours after millions of protesters gathered in major American cities, calling for Trump’s megalomania to be curbed.

Trump told ICE staff to “do all in their power” to detain and deport undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.

Protests in these cities—and many more Democrat-controlled districts—attracted millions of citizens on Saturday, dwarfing the crowd that attended Trump’s birthday parade in Washington, D.C.

Sure looks illegal to me. I keep hoping one of his crimes will be the straw that breaks the camel's back, but damned if this isn't one tough camel.

The post in question:

[–] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world 167 points 1 day ago (3 children)

If he knows there are millions and millions of illegal aliens, why is he rounding up the legal ones?

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 120 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ding! Ding! Ding!

This is why I am having a hard time feeling bad for Trump supporters who just found out that Trump wants them out too despite them being legal residents. There were never enough undocumented immigrants to meet the deportation numbers he wants. He was always planning on cancelling work and student visas and anything else to kick brown people out of the country.

He's a racist piece of shit

  • “millions and millions” is total bs
  • technically they’re probably not. It looks like they have a bunch of new unqualified people and set impossible quotas.

While I would never have sympathy for any officers knowingly complying with illegal orders, it also fits with the current administration that management is by bullying, threats, impossible demands, and no concern for correctness until a scapegoat is needed

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 88 points 1 day ago (3 children)

That’s got Stephen Miller’s fingerprints all over it.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 72 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Any semi-coherent post from Donnie is written by someone other than him. If he posted it he would have gotten distracted halfway through.

Although, Hegseth (or whoever wrote it) does a wonderful job with all the random Capitalization Everywhere.

Exactly. That's way too rich of a vocabulary for Trump

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 7 points 23 hours ago

Plus, Trump tweets in all caps. Not because he's angry all the time, but because he's old and that's the only way he can read the characters as he types them.

Illegal aliens is starting to sound a lot like "Jews".

I wouldn't be surprised if our president went off an bankers next.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 64 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Trump is a desperate pathetic wannabe despot and should be treated like the bitch he is. Tied up to a fuckin post for everyone to gawk at. ICE should be treated with the same contempt.

Preventing admission of anyone who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States.

Any reasonable interpretation of this means that he just gave the order to keep himself from returning.

But don't you remember that time Biden said, "I want double, triple vaccinations in red states! They'll pay for calling COVID 'the flu'!" /s

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 67 points 1 day ago

We’re already expecting the spite, personal attacks … even smaller places. My town is still pissed off from the last few weeks

  • masked thugs kidnapped a guy off the street and left his kid abandoned on the sidewalk (neighbors got him home)
  • other masked thugs roughed up and arrested a city councilor exercising his right to take videos from an appropriate distance

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

[–] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Money printer go brrrr

...naw, they'll just use looting as payment, arrest people to deport and keep their stuff

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Please. Send them here. In clearly labeled vehicles. With nice uniforms that have large letters.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 day ago

We'd like to see their faces too.

Otherwise how we supposed to know they're not reich-wing political assassins or cartel gang members in disguise? They could fake their ID and warrants as well, better just capture them and work it all out in court, in front of a judge. Which is better than they're offering, or deserve

[–] jwiggler@sh.itjust.works 86 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I want our Brave ICE Officers to know that REAL Americans are cheering you on every day

Oh, how subtle. If you're not cheering ICE on, you're not a REAL American. So you should be deported too!

[–] YerLam@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

Trump wants a whole country of people who cheer him and whatever he says.

All 2200+ of them huh?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 66 points 1 day ago (21 children)

IMO, the next "No Kings" protest should be "No Kings II" and then the next III and so on. It's such a perfect name that we should keep it.

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

No Kings the 2nd

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Right?? The official logo on the site is amazing as well. I want a decal of it for my car tbh. Everything about this movement is so well put together

And when there are no more illegal immigrants, guess who is going to have to fill in for their jobs and pay level.

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

When there are no more illegal immigrants, who will Trump gun for next?

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Just pick an ethnicity (except caucasian)

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 2 points 16 hours ago

Trump is stupid enough to accidentally target Caucasians, not realizing it's a synonym for white people

[–] PTSDwarrior@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Indians. Mark my words. The nativist/racist MAGAts HATE Indians! If only the Indian Trump voters realized this. JD Vance doenst have full respect of MAGA because of his wife Usha, who he does still care about on some level.

Keep sharing this, The Tramp's grandfather was an immigrant from Germany, fleeing mandatory conscription to the army. Due to this, he was banned from the German Empire.

He's getting away with it.

I guess we really do have a king.
