Historical ICE raid in Georgia

Leaked Ice document shows worker detained in Hyundai raid had valid visa

Exclusive: critics accuse Ice of ‘outrageous’ and ‘unlawful’ detention of Korean man

At least one of the Korean workers swept up in a huge immigration raid on a Hyundai Motor factory site in Georgia last week was living and working legally in the US, according to an internal federal government document obtained by the Guardian.

Officials then “mandated” that he agree to be removed from the US despite not having violated his visa.

The document says that immigration agents from Atlanta “determined that [redacted] entered into the United States in [redacted], with a valid B1/B2 visa and [redacted] was employed at HL-GA Battery Company LLC as a contractor from the South Korean company SFA. From statements made and queries in law enforcement databases, [redacted] has not violated his visa; however, the Atlanta Field Office Director has mandated [redacted] be presented as a Voluntary Departure. [Redacted] has accepted voluntary departure despite not violating his B1/B2 visa requirements.”

It is not yet clear whether other people with valid visas were detained in the raid, nor how many were actually alleged to be working illegally at the factory.

The raid angered the South Korean government, which announced billions of dollars of investment in the US following a new trade deal between the countries. On Sunday, the South Korean and US governments negotiated a deal to take the arrested workers home.

Trump Orders Flags to Half-Staff for Charlie Kirk

I have absolutely zero doubts that Charlie Kirk is a true Christian. Any attacks against his faith from left wing liberals will only further testify of the saving faith that Charlie Kirk has in my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
The attacks against him are just more evidence of the vileness of the left. There were so many people celebrating his death on Blue Sky and on TikTok. There are those here disparaging his Christian character of this good man and its a vile and under a demonic influence. The enemy has come to kill and destroy. And the enemy came and killed Charlie and we have people celebrating it and attacking him or at least calling his character into question ONLY because he opposed the leftist ideology.

Trump Orders Flags to Half-Staff for Charlie Kirk

Because she never did anything of importance on the national stage that would earn her the honor of having flags lowered,
Other than be elected by her people to represent them in the government, then get assassinated because her role in service to said people led a crazy person to want to kill her, of course.

Trump Orders Flags to Half-Staff for Charlie Kirk

You just can't help yourself. Have to continue insulting him by comparing the great Kirk to some state rep. no one had ever heard of. Anyway, he's to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, so that's nice.
Well that’s quite a statement to make.

Trump Orders Flags to Half-Staff for Charlie Kirk

It makes me sad and quite worried. I think it's pretty messed up that he was shot in front of his loved ones and family.
This is what scares me from the left. That you would put it this way clearly shows what's in your heart. You should have said, "I think its pretty messed up that he was assassinated", and left it at that.

This statement along with your statements regarding rhe shooting of the Healthcare CEO, is clearly a support of the philosophy that violence is rhe corrective for any perceived injustices.

THIS is what the left is becoming.
This president is so partisan he shouldn't be leading anything. And the idea that anyone is expecting people to come together under this leadership shows an utter lack of self reflection on their own behaviours.
The great divider was Obama. It started under his administration as the left went full speed into the great conspiracy of the great injustices. And now we have seen with the trans shooters, the shooting of the CEO and now Charlie.

The dominate dividing injustice conspiracies regarding:
1. The racial division including the injustice theory of white supremacy and systemic racism perpetuated by white people to oppress BIPOC people even to this day.
2. The the working class suppression theory of Marxism that the economy has been rigged to perpetuate the oppression of the working class.
3. The heteronormative oppression theory that the system is being used to facistically enforce traditional sexual mores and that rhe power is being used to oppress anyone who isn't heteronormative.
4. The oppression theory that our country is an imperialist colonialist country that was built upon and continues to strive to oppress based upon white western colonialism.

And the answer to all that oppression is to morally praise all violent reaction to those perceived injustices justices. We have seen it in these posts and in the leftist media.

No Trump is not going to unite our country because he cannot do so. Its an impossibility to unite with those who espouse such venom upon us. There is nothing he can to except call for civility which the left has now abandoned. This is something those on the left have to do among themselves. It is not anything a president can accomplish in the face of such radicalism. No man can accomplish this because the left perceives any and all opposition to their injustice theories as evidence of injustice and oppression. Until the left itself begins to realize what their radicalism has wrought nothing will change.

All to be expected. Has he remarked on the school shootings yet?

My new mantra is “it’s only 3 more years.”

The Lost House of Israel

Galatians 6:14-16 And how Jesus came to save the lost House of Israel, that has to mean that we Christians are Israelites of God.

Actually I don't believe in the supremacy of Britian.
You make B.I. sound like a crime, but the theory of the Church being raptured to heaven, while the Jews get tried and tested; then saved, is a far worse crime against Biblical truth.
AND I have never believed in. a word called RAPTURE as there is NOT. a. Greek word RAPTURE in. the Greek Text

and being taken to heaven is right on in 1 Thess 4:17. !!

Charlie Kirk on Mary

I didn't know or follow Charlie but I thought this video is quite interesting-and surprising. And I think it's awesome that a woman is esteemed and venerated to a higher degree than any other strictly human figure, any other saint, by Christianity- as the churches which have their origins in antiquity did and continue to do. For them there's no higher human hero/heroine and model for our faith. Luther loved and venerated her as well. Thank you, Charlie!

Matthew Dowd Fired from MSNBC For Vile Comments Blaming Charlie Kirk For Assassination

No one said it was only on one side. But the majority of it is on one side…
The majority you don’t like is on one side. Not quite the same. As I pointed out earlier, you’re not exactly a “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander” kind of guy.

This is the scariest verse in the bible for believers

I just challenged you so your message sounded more balanced.
If by “balanced” you mean softening or twisting what Scripture plainly says, then I don’t believe my first post did that. My original post was already balanced because it quoted God’s Word directly and explained what the verses meant. What you’ve been doing is sidestepping with word games instead of dealing with the text.
The Gospel is a spoken (or written) message. Good deeds are good, but they are not the message. Scripture doesn’t need us to “balance” it by watering it down, it needs us to believe it and obey it.
How do you feel it was unbalanced?
Because without the Holy Spirit, it is impossible to communicate the message with boldness anyway.
This could be the case. Maybe most believers do not have the Holy Spirit, or if they do, they suppress Him. Sin in a person will always quench the Spirit. If a church is full of worldliness and compromise, then we shouldn’t be surprised that there is little boldness or power. The Spirit does not manifest in a life that is clinging to sin; He convicts of sin. If that conviction is ignored, then His power will be absent.
That’s not a problem with the Gospel. That’s a problem with the people.

Matthew Dowd Fired from MSNBC For Vile Comments Blaming Charlie Kirk For Assassination

The big difference is that the pure hatred coming out of these college students and many other people on the Democrat liberal left have been documented and seen by millions of people to be using terroristic speech. So, the statement that Democrats support terrorism is believable. I have not seen ANY evidence that Zaha Torte has made any form of terroristic threats to anyone. So, your claim that Zaha Torte makes terroristic claims is false and falls on deaf ears.

Here are some real examples of the liberal left and their threats:

Your reference point is a blog article from 16 years ago by who knows, showing signs from who knows where that people had 18-22 years ago about the person who was elected president 24 years ago, in an era where people were mad about the largest terrorist attack to have ever occured on US soil…?

It is an attempt to spur anger. It is what some want. Ignore them.
