Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

That's just the official language. They may not kill her, but they are going to remove anyone that gets in their way is what this says to me.
They're going to use her as an example for the justification to arrest other judges as well. This is unprecedented and is going to lead to open violence in the streets.
Thee is not going to be a violent uprising people are to comfortable and lazy.
Fuck off with this rhetoric, please. While we aren't going around torching ICE/cop vehicles and rioting, it doesn't mean we aren't doing anything at all. From protesting with millions across the country and world, to gun purchases and training, to local community outreach and support, things are not stationary.
The world news media is focused on the administration and pussyfooting around the lies and manipulation the administration keeps spewing, there's no media clicks to be had for preparation stories. It's not to the point of violence in the streets, yet, but that doesn't mean we aren't preparing for the possibility.
You wanna be shitty toward the American government as a Canadian, I'm all for it. But please don't conflate this administration with the American population at large. We are not our government and despite no news coverage, we are not idle.
It doesn't have to match. It just has to rhyme.
If it's true. These could be manufactured charges. I don't trust Patel or the Trump administration to be honest about that.
And they all clapped at the end.
That's if they give the judge due process, and don't just immediately claim she's guilty- kinda like they're doing to people they're deporting already. Not a stretch to just skip her due process at this point.
We can play what-if all day long, but that doesn't make it true.
And we can ignore the clear pattern of behavior this admin has already shown so far, but that doesn't make what they are doing any less real; what's your point?
How? They're taking people with no due process and deporting them already. Why would her being a judge make her position any different, if they are skipping due process again? This administration has shown that they don't care about due process- they just make an accusation, and then go straight to "guilty until proven innocent."
Your point is undermined by the fact that some of the people being rounded up are native, US-born citizens. Which means there is not really any leap to make here.
I, too wish neither of us were right.
Unarmed liberals need to think about arming themselves.
We are a long way off from getting rid of capitalism. Best to deal with the liberals and work toward moving left from there. The US has a long way to go.
She asked the ICE agents to wait for the end of the hearing to arrest him.
So they arrested her.

Kash Patel also took down the statement claiming she misdirected them.
