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.

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.

Only 22% had non-violent offenses, and about a dozen face serious charges.
This makes it sound like most of them had violent offenses. To clarify from the article:
75% had no criminal record
22% had "a criminal history—mostly for non-violent offenses like theft, shoplifting, and trespassing"
3% had "unclear records"
"A dozen of the 238 migrants were accused of murder, rape, assault, and kidnapping."
"A dozen of the 238 migrants were accused of murder, rape, assault, and kidnapping."
Emphases mine. They were accused of those crimes, but not tried or convicted. Anyone can accuse anyone of anything at any time.
CBS in front of congress in 3...2...
So charge them and try them.
So right now it's non-criminal foreigners, soon it'll be criminal US citizens, then any US citizen with a wrong opinion.
I mean, there's already the one guy they sent by "mistake" and "can't get back."But frankly, without due process, everyone they're sending are "non criminals", which is weird way to say "people who should be presumed innocent until found guilty 8n a court of law by a jury of their peers."
That's exactly it. The right wing base sees due process as a barrier to prosecuting criminals, because they don't understand that, in reality, you cannot legitimately call someone a criminal without following the agreed-upon process to define them that way in the first place. It's too much work to think before acting.
Just normalizing the typical fascist mindset, collapsing the logic: "They deserve deportation because ~~they're a criminal, and they're a criminal because~~ I said so."
Yep, that's exactly what Trump wants.
Reporter: The president of El Salvador said he would be willing to take American citizens in federal prison population.
Trump: I love that
Glad he is being called out.
What's the point? CBS has made a mint off of promoting trump. 60 minutes has had a decade to expose his russian ties, his mob ties, his frauds, his rapes.
uncharged criminals
Yeah, that term sends a chill down my spine. Expect to hear it more and more in a "guilty until proven innocent" kind of way.
