  • 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.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents attempted to enter the Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis on Tuesday, prompting the country’s minister of foreign affairs to file a protest with the U.S. Embassy in Ecuador.​

I’m so glad we’re living in this new right-wing meritocracy.

Now how is it even legal to prevent ICE from entering a place that knowingly employs foreign nationals who have taken no steps in becoming legitimate citizens of a real country, they speak Spanish openly and English as a "second" language, heck, the guy running the place isn't even a citizen. That place is the jackpot in round-ups.

While U.S. consulates and embassies are technically located on U.S. soil, [law prof] Acosta explained they are governed by international law. Under those rules, U.S. law enforcement must either have explicit permission from consulate officials or a judicial warrant to enter.

Haven't you heard? Judicial warrants aren't necessary under the New Rules.

‘That’s quite enough. I don’t want to hear no more. No welcome, no beer, no smoke, and a lot of rules and orc-talk instead. I hoped to have a rest, but I can see there’s work and trouble ahead.

Then we should cut off all water, gas, electricity, and freedom air from these questionable non citizens until they give us what we want.

Sure, just as long as you're OK with the precedent that sets...

ICE claims Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis was ‘not clearly marked’ when officers tried to enter

Two large seals reading ‘Consulate de Ecuador’ are posted outside building

Sure, but that's in Spanish!

Two large seals reading “Consulate de Ecuador” are posted on the brick building, including one directly above the door that officers tried to walk through, according to widely shared footage of the incident.

Another sign to the left of the front door includes the Ecuadorian flag and the words “Republica del Ecuador.”

And just think ICE are participating in the winter Olympics in Italy. They are bound to find millions of 'illegal' immigrants there, as they demand evidence of American citizenship.

Diplomatic immunity is just marxist wokeness. And Trump ended all that.
