1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I overheard (coworker on break) a video saying ICE in NYC was only targeting criminals and gang members. So far I haven't found a real source for that 'fact'
Fascists consider being brown to be a criminal act. They say that to create apathy
This has been amended to "there may be some collateral arrests" which mean anyone near their target who's brown and first language isn't English is getting rounded up too
It's probably true, in the sense that anyone they arrest is automatically a criminal. Ever get a speeding ticket? Criminal, deported. Oh you say you're a citizen? This document is fake, criminal, deported. Resisting arrest? Criminal, deported.
You won't either because they've already done shenanigans including detaining an entire American family from Puerto Rico.
Well they say they are - so that means they are! And they know who all the criminals and gang members are without needing a trial too! ICE is amazing!
/s because we're in that timeline.
Trump decided to include anyone that is in the country illegally in the criminal category, and I'm sure they can find an even wider brush to paint with down the line (participate in an unsanctioned protest? Criminal! Say something bad about Trump? Criminal!).
I mean, if it were the 1950s, that would be kind of believable, but it's been like 75 years of this BS.
That's part of their plan. They start by more aggressively tracking down, arresting, and deporting the people with the most severe criminal records who have probably been already already convicted of a deportable offense. They can go around saying how they've got these actual criminals that "Biden allowed to stay" and be telling enough of the truth that it works.
The next step is to start going after people with mild criminal records, maybe shoplifting or an assault charge from a bar fight. People who wouldn't normally be eligible to deport. People who are here maybe legally maybe not.
Then they start revoking legal status from people by just accusing them of petty crimes and deporting them without due process. This is what the new law they just passed with Democrats support allows the government to do now.
