Their consistent use of the term "illegal immigrant" with regards to Kilmar Abrego Garcia makes me not believe anything they say anymore. He entered illegally but was since given a protected status and was living and working here legally for years. Calling him an illegal immigrant is like calling me an "illegal citizen" because I got a speeding ticket one time.

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.

We need to refer to Musk as an illegal immigrant also.
Straight to gulag.
Terrorist
“Our ICE officers are facing a 300% increase in assaults while carrying out enforcement operations.”
“The rumors circulating on social media that ICE Boston employed a militia leader from Arizona to make arrests in New England are not only false, but they are also inflammatory and place the safety of federal officers in jeopardy,”
Good. They should fear for their safety, for entirely true reasons.
So my takeaway is: you can’t trust that ICE agents are ICE agents.
So… shoot ICE agents on sight…? Because seriously, that’s what’s gonna happen, if they don’t get their fucking yahoos in line.
Clarification: I’m not saying that’s a good idea, or that anyone should shoot at someone who says they’re a federal agent. I’m hilighting the fact that that’s the chain of logic people will start to use, if an “ICE agent” might be either an ICE agent or a Proud Boy/3%er/etc.
Seems like they could tell us who he IS and clear all this up. I suppose we could read his arrest record as this is clearly excessive force (among other things), but that would imply the administration admitting its errors (and who really things THAT will happen)?
Weasel word translator possible explanation is that he was 2nd in command of the militia or 'just' a member.
It's not him. While there is a passing resemblance, the militia chud was apparently posting videos of himself in Oklahoma when the incident in Massachusetts occurred.
That doesn't mean the ICE agent isn't also a militia member. I would put money on him being at least affiliated with one.
I’m surprised they aren’t already operating fully masked.
Jeans and a hoodie are not a uniform. I hope the piece of shit gets run over the next time he tries that.
The ICE guys face seems to say: If you love your job, then it's not just a job, it becomes a passion.
