  • 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.

"These individuals were deported by the order of a court after they were afforded all due process rights," said former ICE chief of staff Tom Blank. "For DHS to arbitrarily reverse court orders to satisfy complaints from an activist group makes a joke out of the entire legal immigration process. It looks like outside activist groups now run the DHS immigration process instead of the courts."
Both current and former ICE officials expressed alarm about whether this program will be a model for others in the future. Should any outside activist group threaten a lawsuit about migrant mistreatment, they said, the Biden administration may choose the path of least resistance and simply return the asylum seekers.
Joe claims all he really needed was for the Republicans to pass the "bi-partisan" bill. How many times will people fall for such malarkey?

Free Beacon rated "biased" by Fact Check for strong loaded language and misleading articles.
So many of the "fact checkers" are extremely biased, if you have any information about any of the content of the article being incorrect please provide it.

The article you referenced does not quote specific sources, just vague "immigration personnel." In other words, unproven allegations.

But who will fact-check those fact-checking the fact-checkers?

The article was quite specific and actually said "according to interviews with Immigration and Customs Enforcement staff and internal agency memos reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon."

The one person quoted is pretty lucky to be working for a President who believes in the rule of law and the integrity of the federal civil service system.

Should Trump become president (heaven forbid) that same employee would be immediately fired, lose his pension, etc. As a matter of fact, part of Project 2025 advises that civil service employees should be replaced by patronage puppets.

Just wanted to let you know that that one quote demonstrates what it's like when you have a president with integrity.

Oh, c’mon!
It’ll be great fun!
Just like in the before-times, like 2017, when we were just babes-in-the-woods!

I look forward to the Friday night news dumps that kept us busy over the weekend jabbering at one another over the 91% turnover in the Trump Administration; if the vaccine would be ready “before Christmas”; “why did Jared Kushner take an undisclosed (until later) commercial flight to Saudi Arabia” just before that Kingdom had an ethics investigation and hundreds of Princes were “detained” at a posh hotel for months?

Oh, no, this will be endless fun!

That word salad is as specific as quoting my cousin’s boyfriend’s best friend’s sister’s boss.

It's called investigative journalism. The Biden administration has a history of coming down hard on anyone who stands up to their policies. Thus the names of the whistleblowers are being withheld.

What? Another “Biden is doing his job wrong!” thread?
If it wasn’t so darned entertaining it’d look compulsive…
From yon article:

At least four migrants, one senior ICE official told the Free Beacon, have been flown back to the mid-Atlantic region since March. Up to 28 Cameroonians in total, an internal agency memo states, will eventually be brought back to the United States, although it is not clear how many have arrived since the program began.

ICE did not respond to a request for comment.


[All italics and emphasis mine]

So the FreeBeacaon spoke to a guy who was totally from ICE, even though ICE didn’t officially comment, and looked at some paperwork, and there’s (up to) 28 more Cameroonians in the entire USA than we had when President Trump was in office, what’s the “big whoop”?

Really these “oh goodness this totally normal thing is outrageous!” threads never fail to tickle me, even at this late date.

People are dying because the president and his people are brazenly violating our border laws.
