• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

This is sickening. Virtually everything connected to Trump is.


Native American actor says she was detained by ICE officers who said tribal ID ‘looked fake’

Elaine Miles of Northern Exposure was stopped by four masked men in Seattle while walking to bus stop
Read in The Guardian: Native American actor says she was detained by ICE officers who said tribal ID ‘looked fake’ — Guardian US
Few might know that Noem herself was banned from most tribal lands when she was Governor due to her statements about Native Americans. That ICE would be insensitive or lack training concerning Native Americans and their ID's etc. should be no surprise.

This is not common place at all. Humans are not perfect so to expect perfection is a mistake.
I don't think that any of us expect perfection, but I do hope we all expect competence. I would also hope that any ICE agent would know how to run an ID check. Surely there is a way to run Native American ID's? If not why? But I don't blame the individual agents who have little training. The blame goes up the chain.

And I expect more from ICE and the President of the United States.

It's supposedly commonplace, but whenever it happens it makes hedline news.
