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

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!

I hope she sues the fuck out of them.

Nothing would happen. Just a waste of money. And if it came to it, they would just get pardoned.

There is no law in the USA. Trump is the law.

From an outsider looking in, it sounds like more reason to sue or to run to the media. Otherwise, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 day ago

or to run to the media

Frustratingly, the US media is owned by a small concentration of wealthy people who are being further enriched by Trump's bullshit.

Gestures around vaguely

I hope someone hunts down her assailants one by one, tortures them psychologically, makes them suffer physically and broadcasts it all as a warning to other fascist fuckwits before delivering upon them the fate all Nazis deserve.

She literally can't, ICE agents are federal agents which means they have civil immunity from lawsuits that are a direct result of their duties. Unless they're doing something that a reasonable person would understand to be a breach of the law. That said the federal courts seem to use Donald Trump's circumstantial definition of a reasonable person and only his. So fat chance there's a legal solution to this.

[–] Colonel_Panic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I feel very reasonably that warrantless searches and seizures while not in uniform and face coverings and no badges IS A BREACH OF THE LAW!!!!

Not to even mention all the countless people that have been disappeared or deported to God knows where with no information given to their families or anything. Just poof gone. No jury, no trial, no proof they did anything wrong, no positive ID they are even who they are. None of it.

Please explain how any of that could possibly be legal and how any reasonable person wouldn't consider it evil and terrible and utterly terrifying and dystopian?

How is everyone NOT upset at how awful this all is?

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

if she doesn't get fucking deported first for no REASON

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

They let her go.
