Protestors confront ICE agents outside immigration court in San Francisco--VIDEO

We’ve been sounding the alarms on this administration’s slide to authoritarianism for years.

People like us don't call it authoritarianism. We call it an opportunity you can't refuse.

The administration even came up with their version of a "Truth ministry" with that Mary Poppins woman but the public outrage shut down that effort.

Sorry, who's the Mary Poppins woman?

EDIT: Okay, a Google search tells me that it's Nina Jankowicz, who was the head of the Disinformation Governance Board for the first month of its four month existence. (I really didn't expect the Google search of "truth ministry mary poppins" to turn up anything, because I thought "Mary Poppins" was an insult you made up, but the Internet surprised me.) I totally missed the existence of the DGS back in 2022.

I think that falsehoods being spread through TV, YouTube, and social media are a serious problem, but for Americans -- who are generally distrustful of the government anyway -- creating a government board
like this was a bad idea. The solution has to lie somewhere else.

That article shows the people are able to be deported and are being deported. AS BY LAW.

This is, actually, a positive that I see in the courthouse arrests (as contrasted with arrests in other locations). If the court has said that they need to leave the country, then there's been an actual judicial review of the case, so we're pretty confident that the person isn't a citizen or a legal resident.

It would be nice if the government could exercise some courtesy (e.g., "you have 30 days to gather your belongings and leave the country"), but there is at least due process here.

The need for border control and deportation was reasonably bipartisan. Clinton and Obama give speeches in favor of deportation and they applauded. So this newfound moral outrage looks manufactured.

The curtailment of civil rights in order to achieve the end of removing undocumented immigrants is the crux of the opposition.

English grammar was forcibly being changed to embrace self-identification with pronouns in order to thwart simple biological male/female identity--an attack against Judeo-Christian culture.

Which Executive Order of Biden’s tenure, did this?

The curtailment of civil rights in order to achieve the end of removing undocumented immigrants is the crux of the opposition.

Civil rights are those rights guaranteed to individuals as citizens of a nation. Illegal aliens are not citizens of the nation they occupy. That's what makes them illegal aliens.

What about human rights?

What about human rights?

Breaking the law is not a human right.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

Breaking the law is not a human right.

Human rights don’t depend on whether you’ve broken the law or not. They are human rights. Human. Rights. The only requirement is to be human.

The 14th amendment says “person”, (not “citizen”), so I don’t think your argument holds.

I posted the dictionary definition of the term "civil rights".

The 14th amendment contains the word "civil" one time:

Section 3
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress...

Well we were talking about civil rights, and then you shifted that to human rights, after the civil rights argument didn't hold up. But so far you haven't pointed out why you shifted it to human rights. You just dropped the term into the conversation without giving it any context.

Human rights. Civil rights. People are being deprived of basic rights they’re entitled to under US and international law.

How so?

So it wasn't relevant to ICE agents then after all.
