It's CNN, hardly a right leaning news organization
I would point out that CNN has become increasingly right leaning this past decade, but I recognize your username as one of the unfortunate few right-wing types that has inexplicably decided to dip your toes into the Fediverse.
Don't really think you're welcome here.
Lol, so anyone that has opinions that you don't like aren't welcome here? Okay....
In general one shouldn't be welcoming to authoritarians, no.
Biden regularly ignores the express will of his constituents with regards to Israel, drug decriminalization, judicial overreach, tax reform, and immigration. His DOJ just forced a foreign national to plead guilty under US espionage laws. That’s all authoritarian as hell.
Also, the article specifically mentions policing and criminalization with regards to immigration and your response is that he TRIED to increase funding to ICE but the right wouldn’t let him. But that’s the whole point - more cops is not the answer. Abolish ICE. Giving them more money is the same solution Trump wants to implement. You realize we’re still putting kids in cages, right?
I looked to see if I was welcome in the fediverse and this is what I found... The Fediverse is a decentralized, federated social network where individuals can connect with others who share similar interests and values. It’s a space where people from all walks of life can come together, share their thoughts, and engage in respectful discussions.
No discrimination or exclusivity
The Fediverse is built on the principles of inclusivity and diversity. There is no central authority controlling the network, and each server (or instance) is run independently by its administrators. This means that each server can set its own rules and guidelines, but there is no overarching policy that discriminates against individuals based on their political beliefs, including Republicans.
Diverse perspectives and communities
The Fediverse is home to a wide range of communities and servers, each with its own unique character and focus. You can find servers dedicated to specific topics, hobbies, or interests, as well as servers that cater to specific political ideologies or beliefs. This diversity allows individuals to connect with like-minded people and engage in discussions that resonate with them.

"There's no overarching policy banning you" /=/ "You're welcome where decent people frequent"
If you have a sense of pattern recognition, I'm sure you'll realize this. Eventually.
