Driving the news: The posters — which read "ARRESTED" — specify various crimes linked to the pictured immigrants and have the White House's official logo at the bottom.

-The "roughly 100" posters were being placed strategically along "Pebble Beach," where TV news crews do live shots in front of the mansion. A White House official told Axios the intent is for the posters to be visible behind TV journalists reporting from those positions.

-Posters positioned near the West Wing claim to show unauthorized immigrants arrested for "first-degree murder," "sexual abuse of a child," "kidnapping and rape," "murder," "rape of a child," and "distribution of fentanyl."

-Others claim to show people charged with "sexual assault of minors," "sexual contact with a child," and "lewd acts in front of a child."

-The posters describe the arrestees as "illegal aliens." Their names and precise legal statuses aren't included.

Thats pretty wild. so much hate and fear, its exhausting.

The very fact that sexual abuse of a minor is being conflated with immigration shows how far we've fallen. This document from the National Institute of Justice shows that the data indicates illegal immigrants have a much lower crime rate than citizens. The issue isn't that they are immigrants, it's that they're criminals. They were presumably committing similar crimes (or at least capable of doing so in Mexico). I'm not any happier knowing that a pedophile is now in Mexico/El Salvador. I want justice and reform. We should always strive for justice and reform. These illegal immigrants aren't the only ones committing these crimes. As I said earlier: largely, it's legal citizens committing these crimes. We need to create a system of justice and reform. We need to be able to handle citizens and illegal immigrants.

Obviously this administration would prefer to take every criminal and push them outside of our borders. Like I said, I don't care if a crime is committed in or out of my borders. I want justice and reform. I want to live in a world where crimes like this are basically non-existent. And I want to live in a world where people with these issues don't become repeat offenders.

Conflating immigration with these types of crimes is just making it harder for us to address the real issues with our justice and reformation system (lack thereof). Not to mention, we are basically just wasting money and time focusing on illegal immigrant crime when the bigger issue is crime being committed by citizens. It's like we cut off our arm, but as the arm fell to the ground one of the fingernails broke. So, this administration is spending all of its efforts on fixing the broken fingernail - and failing to patch the profuse loss of blood coming from its shoulder.

in a country of +300 million, it is easy to show a list of few dozen criminals of any social group

I would not be surprised if in a month it turns out a bunch of those don't match with the crimes

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Considering that they're making completely unsupported allegations re: Abrego, I have no trust whatsoever that they did more than elementary school research into the crimes they're attributing, and assume that nearly none of them are supported by court convictions.

Or it’s just random people.

Not only that, but I bet there are a bunch of people here who really are US citizens, and a bunch more who are either here legally, or were until the President canceled their visas just for this stunt.

[–] [email protected] 90 points 2 days ago (9 children)

Not only that, but I'm guessing what's printed are the crimes they're accused of rather than anything they've been convicted of.

Anyone can accuse anyone of anything at any time. That's why courts exist.

Some should quickly print a sign with the guy who sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll and put it there....

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

This is screaming for someone to ham it up with some new signs. I would be pretty surprised if no one's done it inside a week.

They wouldn't have to be at the White House, although that would also be entertaining. It could just be the same format and posted literally anywhere.

[–] [email protected] 124 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This is not a good sign.

If you're trying to get people to hate and fear people of color I guess you need to show them what color of people to hate?

This has "Mommy Mommy look at my report card" energy all over it.

Disgusting and vile people who try to justify hating those of color with lawn sized fascist trading cards.

We should figure out what company printed all of these and boycott them back to the printing press age.

Exactly. He’s like a modern day Vlad the Impaler.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Vlad was unique with the impalements but wasn't out of pocket according to the day. He was slandered by a rival.

This is their way of screaming at us "Why are you so mad that we're abducting children and sending American citizens to prison camps, when we've arrested like 10 whole pedophiles?!"

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We’d prefer they arrest the one in the White House.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Epstein took that evidence to the grave. If only we knew what Trump whispered in his ear in that clip of him breaking down in tears of laughter. I bet it was the incriminating shred that was needed

At least it reflects what's inside.

You ever drive past "that house"? You know the one I mean; every neighborhood has one. The one that always has a yard full of signs, banners, flags, etc? The house equivalent of a car covered in bumper stickers, all collectively saying "Stay Away: Crazy Inside"
