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!

Well congrats to Linda, she made flying, which is a huge hassle and pain already, even worse.

I genuinely feel terrible for all of the airport employees who are about to be abducted.

But I'm also morbidly curious to see how badly this goes.

What do you think the over/under should be on how many days it will take for international travelers with valid visas, to start being abducted in transit?

Honestly given how stupid ICE agents are on average I legit wouldn't be surprised if they somehow crash the air industry in some regions.

[–] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 15 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

How many illegals use airports to travel? What a big brain move, lol.

That's what you get for listening to Linda, you dumbass

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 11 points 2 hours ago

Whether or not you are illegal is a second order problem for these dudes.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 3 points 2 hours ago

Their targets will soon not just be illegals, but undesirables. Coming soon! You know those lists they're making of every citizen that opposes them? Yeah, off to re-education camp with you, terrorist!

alls I hae seen on the tv is them kinda wandering/milling around. Are they actually taking any load off the TSA? I was kinda wondering if they would come in masks and apparently they managed to find the balls to display their faces.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Trump said no masks at the airports because it "looks bad"

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 27 minutes ago

lol. masks always look bad. Its crazy how masks and criminals have been a thing forever and then they are like its totally fine this group does it. I mean they are not trying to prevent diseas transmission.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

This was the plan all along, huh? To get armed murderous thugs at all the checkpoints checking papers just like nazi Germany? This was no accident, you see, the only funded DHS employees being Pedolf Shitlers gestapo.
