Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

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.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


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.

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.

Summary

The Trump administration has abruptly fired 20 immigration judges without explanation, raising concerns amid efforts to accelerate deportations.

The firings include judges who had yet to be sworn in and senior officials overseeing immigration courts, which already face a backlog of 3.7 million cases.

Union official Matthew Biggs said it was unclear if the move was meant to send a message on immigration policy but called it part of a broader federal workforce purge, adding, “They’re treating these people as if they’re not human beings. It’s bad all around.”

So.... I assume the jobs report in America isn't looking so good right now... How many thousands of people are jobless now from Trump's actions?

Same people supporting this bullshit are the same ones who said we should be willing to die for the economy during COVID

Homeless is illegal & yet the government seems so set on making people jobless.

If homelessness is illegal, then enslaving homeless people is legal

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Putting them in the big house is extra super-duper legal

Interestingly if you ask most people if

  1. Would you rather provide a warm shelter and a temporary place to stay to help a human being to become a productive part of our society once again?

Or

  1. Would you rather send the same individual to prison indefinitely.

In both cases the individual gets shelter, a bed, and place to stay. The "accommodations" are paid by the same taxes you currently pay.

Most people would probably still choose number 2.

Yep because #2 makes them feel superior even when it costs them far more

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 1 year ago

Gotta find another source of slave labor for the prison system.

Joblessness is usually not the issue it is jobs with a livable wage. And the answer to that is pretty shit.

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well hopefully these judges find their skills aren’t as transferable as they thought

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Judges can become high paid arbitrators. I learned that from the Legal Eagle channel

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They'll just lie about the job numbers :/

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 8 points 1 year ago

Or stop publishing them because they fired everyone at the DOL.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Jobs numbers were going to be bad with tech layoffs, this is just to obfuscate
