Moderated Trump announces new concentration camps

[I Am The Scum]

There is.

Back it up. How many human trafficking prosecutions have begun in light of the child separation policy?

 

[I Am The Scum]

Q.E.D. I asked why foreign people deserve special treatment over US citizens.

That's not happening.

For one, a citizen would only be detained for a few days without an indictment. Border crossers are being detained for significantly longer without a grand jury hearing.

Second, even if a child's parents were to be detained, the child can stay with other relatives. Trump's child separation policy does not permit this option for border crossers.

So you're completely wrong. I know there's nothing I can possibly do to make you not be racist, but all I'm gonna ask you to do from this point forward is to stop making stuff up. Would that be okay?

When I draw parallels between ICE and the Gestapo, one event which crystalized this is ICE's detention of a *US citizen* for some 3 weeks. Smells of more than mere incompetence to me.

So we have these raids, sweeping up workers by the hundred. But as far as I understand, not a single company employing illegals has faced prosecution. (And let's not forget the Trump companies to this day employing undocumented workers.) Those employers must like this state of affairs, not having to pay even their paltry wages after such sweeps.

Hypocrisy really rubs my fur the wrong way.

Maybe try and keep them from getting in illegally in the first place?

It always amazes me when people believe the U.S. does not already do this.

Stop the personalization and silly attempts at insulting each other. Thread is being put on moderated status until it can be cleaned up and the appropriate moderation actions taken

So Macalena deserves to have ICE take her father for a misdemeanor. Great system!

Hell he might be a citizen it isn't like ICE balks at arresting them too.

Its funny, when the child separation first came to light, many of the right-wing memes were posted with pictures of US citizens at trials or in prison and bemoaned how this mother or that mother was separated from their child due to criminal acts.

Of course, the criminal acts of said mothers were usually very far into the felony category, such as being a meth dealer, attacking a policeman with a knife, or, you guessed it child abuse.

So here we are again back into the 'They're criminaaaaaaaaalllllssss!!!!' line, as if each were a serial killer with a dozen victims already under their knife.

We should send the children of every one who gets a speeding ticket to concentration camps! That will send a message.

Appeals court says soap, toothbrushes can be required for detained children

CNN)A federal appeals court on Thursday dismissed a Trump administration argument that "safe and sanitary" conditions do not specifically require access to items such as soap and toothbrushes, as well as adequate sleep for children in custody at Border Patrol stations.

A three-judge panel for the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a lower court had the right to specify what "safe and sanitary" conditions were required.
The lower court ordered the government to provide specific hygiene items, as well as directing the government to hire a "juvenile coordinator."

A court upholds a ruling that the US must provide incarcerated children with a safe and sanitary environment - including providing them with adequate food, water, bedding, toothbrushes and soap, after it had been found that children in ICE custody did not have adequate food, clean water or basic hygiene items - after the government appealed that it wasn't obligated to allow the children to sleep or wash themselves with soap

Typical activist liberal democrat judge, mollycoddling criminals, next they be giving them bread and water!

I mean, how many oxygen molecules does a child really need?

I think you need to rethink that. How many oxygen molecules are you going to let these criminals steal from upright Americans!

A Jewish civil rights group "Never Again" were assaulted by a private prison guard captain when he drove his vehicle through their protest on Wednesday evening. In the immediate aftermath, more guards swarmed on them with pepper spray.

Amidst all of the just heartwarming details of this story is this bit:

Rhode Island politician Aaron Regunberg said on Facebook that police declined to intervene, did not detain the driver and did not take witness statements from protesters. Regunberg wrote, “I also want to make very clear that literally dozens of us from tonight’s protest asked, clamored, demanded that the police take witness statements about the attack, and they actively refused to do so.”

Central Falls Police Chief Daniel Barzykowski told the Providence Journal that wasn’t true. “We asked anyone that saw anything to come to the station and file a report [due to the number of people on the scene],” he told the newspaper.

State Police Major Timothy Sanzi told the newspaper they would like witnesses to come forward. He added, “We are looking into any possible crime. We just want to assure the public that we are doing a complete and thorough investigation.”

It depends on whether those children can stand on their own two feet, as air pressure is different at ground level.

Totally read that as uptight Americans.

Illegal entry is a crime.

Save yourself the time and stop posting hyperlinks no one is clicking on.

Just to be clear, if someone asks whether it's true that illegal immigrants bring crime, you seriously think that pointing out their defining feature is a crime?

That's not the kind of crime that concerns people when they talk about illegal immigration and crime, you know. Trump mentions rape and murder. He doesn't justify his claim that they increase crime by pointing out that their entry was illegal.

Love that line from Jim Jefferies bit, "you must think a lot of yourself if you think everyone's coming to murder your family."

That wasn't what was being asked. There wasn't even a question that was being asked.

Hmm are they concentration camps yet? How much of the basic necessities need to be denied for them to count?

Not a question being asked, with not a question mark at the end of it.
