A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.
Rules:
It’s a good idea because maybe more cities and states will follow suit and order arrest warrants. That man should be a prisoner of his own country. This is grassroots this is how change happens
I support the guy for mayor, but holy crap bud, stay in your lane.
As much as I would love to see Netanyahu in ICC custody, this is a mistake. It is not any mayor's place to be arresting foreign leaders granted visas by the state department.
He won't be arresting him for a visa violation, that's ICE.
He can just put on a mask and drive an unmarked vehicle and he should be fine!
Visiting foreign leaders are issued a diplomatic visa by the State Department, which comes with diplomatic immunity. A mayor of a city doing this would just be a pointless publicity stunt as someone with diplomatic immunity would be released as soon as it came before a Judge.
NYC is the location of the UN so going down this path would erode the effectiveness of the UN at it's primary purpose (diplomacy) more than it already has been.
