Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
ICE is another republican “make work” jobs program with ZERO return on investment. These kids should be part of a federal workforce repairing our crumbling infrastructure, something that provably has a return on investment for taxpayers.
Negative return on investment. ICE teaches people to break up society, rather than come together to improve it.
Not to mention it craters immigration.
While that may seem... obvious...
A whole buch of economic processes blow up without an influx of immigrants.
Tourism. Real Estate. Agriculture.
Its not shooting yourself in the foot, it's shooting yourself in the balls and dieing from severing your femoral artery.
MAGAs love to destroy industries that employ regular people. Florida had a program that offered financial incentives to the film industry for Florida productions, and the industry had spent billions in Florida, and employed over 100,000 people.
Convicted Criminal Rick Scott became governor of Florida, and unilaterally cancelled the program, saying that he didn't want to reward or encourage "Liberal Hollywood."
So, Georgia rolled out the RED State carpet, and today the industry annually spends billions there, instead. They weren't too Red to invite and encourage job growth for their citizens.
Thanks Florida Senator Rick Scott. BTW, nothing makes him angrier than threatening to prohibit insider trading for members of the Senate. He loves that perk sooo much.
Deploying the Donald Youth now eh?
It's actually the Pedo-Shitler Youth (PSY).
oppa mar-a-lago style
Sounds like a fanclub for Donald Duck 😂
They look like they missed their chance at carrying out a school shooting and now they're hoping to make up for lost time.
Shitler youth
They like em young, dumb, and full of naively believing the game is zero sum
Believing that life is a zero-sum game may help create the very scarcity and hostility that the zero-sum mindset expects from the world. To create a different reality, perhaps we must first choose to play a different game.
Yeah, those two look like they should be studying for their civics midterms, not cosplaying jackboot goons.
Jeez. Here (germany, to disclose my "secret country" lol) it takes a hardcore weekend to filter out a handful candidates of like 200. Racists or dumb nuts have no chance. And then follow 3 years of training.
But then again, our cops are friendly, helpful and nonviolent (unless they need to). Never feared one.
there was an article recently of a woman who applied to ICE to see what the process was like. She wasn't going to join, just seeing how much they vet someone. welp they don't. she didn't even go through with ANY of the verification process, she didn't submit anything for background checks, wouldn't confirm if she would proceed with the hiring process....and they still offered her a position. So essentially if you lack any kind of ethics or morals it's easy money. no training, no qualifications, nothing. they just want bodies who are more than willing to be Nazi's.

She wasn't alone. She wasn't the only journalist to have that idea. I've read a few articles like that, and they are all basically the same. So much independent confirmation for history, awesome.
I would not have thought anything else from the mighty USA. This orange fucknugget is building his own private army. incredibly...
Morals too developed? Just recruit them while they're still zygotes!
Hitlerjugend. You Americans are developing very fast.
Faster than you may realize.
Baden-Powell was inspired to start the Boy Scouts when he saw the 12-15 year old boys of the Mafeking Cadet Corp assisting the military during the Second Boer War.
I thought ICE could not operate without their face masks?
it's the haircuts
Yeah I got that fluffy hair bro
Probably militia kids. Whole family is indoctrinated.
In their neck of the woods, this will count for military service:
"Did you serve?"
[quietly] "Yeah, I was embedded at MCO...Orlando INTERNATIONAL Airport. Saw stuff there I'll never unsee. I still get triggered by, uh, uh, mmmmickey."
"It's cool, man, it's cool..."
Maybe. I was referring to actual militia, not military. Indoctrinated into Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and the like.
I know, I just like running down these twerps every chance I get. It's like moral bullying. They absolutely deserve every bit of it.
But.. but... it's only the middle age that have a nut they need the bonus money for. Kids with their avocado toast and cocaine habits these days.
Where is "big balls" working these days?
Full time government employee. Ironic.
Article reads like AI
Maybe but... https://www.newsweek.com/ice-agents-laguardia-photo-young-sparks-jokes-memes-11734460
It is corroborated at least.
I believed it wasn't made up, but the text style just stank.
They're just teenage looking guys. It worked for 21 jump street, it will work for the secret police.
This article is fully written by ai I guarantee it
He looks young, but who knows. A guy I work with is in his mid 30s, but could easily be mistaken for a teenager.
Yeah, my first thought was these guys could be anywhere from 16 to 25.
People often think i'm 20 or younger and i turned 41
