Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Donald Trump threatened to send American citizens convicted of vandalizing Tesla vehicles to El Salvador’s infamous Terrorism Confinement Center, labeling the vandals as "sick terrorist thugs" deserving 20-year sentences.

This statement followed a major vandalism incident in Ontario, Canada, where around 80 Tesla cars were damaged.

Trump’s comments coincide with controversy over his use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants, halted by a court order.

The White House defended the deportation despite legal challenges, denying any violation of the court’s injunction.

Goddamn, you fuckers don't even realize the context of the articles you linked. Hey Mr dumbass, they didn't deport the US citizen girl, they had a choice to leave her abandoned in the US or take her with them as they got deported. While this is vile and cruel and worthy of causing civil unrest, she was not deported.

The Trump administration’s border czar, Tom Homan, has said “families can be deported together” regardless of status. Homan said it would be up to the parents to decide whether to depart the U.S. together or leave their children behind.

You can't deport me I'm a citizen! Look at my genuine passport!

Read the fine print, that's property of the US Government and they can revoke it whenever they want.

But wait here's my birth certificate! Surely you can't...

Mmmmmm, looks like a forgery. We'll put in a request with your birth state to confirm. In the mean time please take your seat, we're wheels up to Venezuela in 15 minutes.

Ok then, even easier, you don't have shit. Your drivers license is fake, your SSN is stolen.

Shut up and get on the plane

🤣 GTFOutta here with this BS fear mongering. No wonder us lefties lose all the time.

I posted proof of this happening in Trump's first term in another reply. As others have pointed out, these clerical 'errors' are already happening again; ICE conveniently can't (won't) release the full list of deportees. But that's fine, you can ignore that, you need proof-positive.

Why not listen to it straight from the horse's mouth. They're publicly calling for citizens to be arrested for exercising their right to protest. Permanent residents can be disappeared because "we didn't know he was a terrorist when he came here" with no supporting proof.

That's too vague? How about this one: Trump invented a war on a gang specifically to gain sweeping powers that override constitutional rights. Citizens were rounded up by these same powers during WWII as potential enemies of the state. You can put the 2025 and 1941 proclamations side by side, they're the exact same. Let's see if we can connect the dots...

Don't pretend to be any kind of leftist if you're too politically disengaged to open your fucking eyes. Go ahead and wait for Trump-appointed judges to issue more orders that get ignored with no repercussions.

Good to know you'll just jump to conclusions without evidence. I'll be sure to steer clear of you.

Also, talk is cheap. I need evidence.

Also what citizens? Everyone keeps saying citizens are being rounded up, but not a single person has provided a shred of proof. Until I see evidence I don't believe it. Wild needing evidence is enough to get you crucified around here.

Lol, if you're so confident why not doxx yourself so I can call the ICE tipline. Let's get some evidence you clown 🤡
