    Those who arrested need to be charged with obstruction.

    They should be held liable for fire damages.

        I’d like to see them each catapulted directly into that tiny wall at the southern border.

    Another one. They are the worst agents ever and none of them even know what they are doing.

    If you aren’t white and rich, you have a target on your back from the administration. What a time to be alive.

      Oh they know exactly what they are doing. Racial profiling. The legal status is not of concern, it’s the skin color and the accent.

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.

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.
