It’d be easy to remove this post for a violation of Rule 3’s requirement on high-quality sources, but this is textbook leopards, so we’ll work around it.
Pinning this comment so everyone has easy access to the ACLU’s press release about this lawsuit which is likely to be a much better source. Here’s a Charlotte Observer article about the attack. And here’s the Newsweek article quoting MS NOW about the regret.
Maybe I should have a canned explanation for how trash the IBT is as a source, but as a proxy for that: we don’t use it as much as we reasonably can on Wikipedia (a source which, funnily, I’ve seen the IBT cite for claims not about Wikipedia).
Mods taking the time to vet and source? Hell yeah, thank you for this!
Your comment is more work than merely removing the submission, but I, for one, highly appreciate it. I get to see the story and better sources. <3
Tangent: I would love to see a Lemmy feature that allows community mods to unilaterally block links to specific domains within their community. So, in this case, the poster would get an immediate notification that their post was not allowed due to the link being to a low quality source, and a suggestion to find the same story on a more reputable site.
Seems like a generalized automoderator tool might be handy that would allow a wide variety of actions :)
The irony that Newsweek is among the list seems to be lost on everyone. Fuck Newsweek.
agreed, but when verifying, a broad consensus among shitty sources works when you can’t find good sources.
we found the charlotte observer tho so like, why newsweek.
“this is exactly what I voted for, but please stop doing it to me 😖”
Factually incorrect.
Donald did promise an immigration crackdown. He did not promise Gestapo-ing legal citizens. This person has every right to be pissed.
It was implied.
I would bet you $100 this voter would’ve reveled in watching an illegal immigrant having their window smashed out and getting drug through glass.
I’d bet another hundred they’d make a comment similar to “well they shouldn’t have been here then, it’s the law and they’re a criminal”
My wagers are based on every real interaction I’ve had with Trump voters, which is unfortunately way too many. They voted for this to happen to other people, you’re not going to convince me otherwise, but thanks for trying
Your anecdotal evidence is worthless in the face of actual lost elections and policy changes reflecting the extreme unpopularity that Donald has built among both parties’ voters.
You should check which community you’re in, my comment is in the vein and theme of this community. What are you doing here?
If you don’t hear immigration crackdown as that your brain is bad send it back.
Suing? He already got what he wanted.
Only voted for fascism, didn’t expect the fascism at his doorsteps. Won’t be the last fool
Willy has a vacuum between his ears and the ACLU should drop his case. $1.25 million for the trauma he voted for, fuck him and zero sympathy.
I CANT believe what Trump just DID to me! It’s going to make it SO MUCH HARDER when I vote for Him AGAIN!
People keep saying this.
It’s like you’ve slept through every election since 2024, you know, the ones where overwhelmingly Donald’s candidates are losing by double digits despite the fact that he won said districts by double digits in 2024.
Hell, voters have abandoned Donald to such a degree that they quit with the gerrymandering push, as they can’t accurately predict where they will have support now.
They haven’t abandoned him at all.
That’s the spirit! Trump will love him! He loves the poorly educated and the dumb!
Love seeing these lol. I am your fediverse follower
It’s the one constant you can rely on
Have the day you voted for.
I mean yes, leopards and faces, but, goddamn.
US Police will break your window… but they typically won’t drag you through the now broken window, they’ll open the door, unbuckle you or cut the straps.
Fucking hell.
What’s underneath Hell?
How low can the bar be?
Ask Barack Obama. He could have put a stop to all this by passing a few laws when he had a supermajority.
Instead, he doubled down.
ICE recruits people the police rejected. It’s what happens when your political ideology is more important than any morality. IOW: when the ends justify the means.
I’ve heard ICE described as a militia of the unemployable created to persecuted the working class.
I’m sure Marx might have had something to say about the lumpen proletariat and the wages of a failed social safety net. But the six-figure salary for hunting anyone with a green card or a student visa for sport seems to speak for itself.
If you’ve ever read Sinclair Lewis’s It can’t happen here, the parallel between his “marching clubs” and our Proud Boys/ICE are hard to miss.
True… I’m just awed by the unprofessionalism of it.
These peoples means are going to justify their own end… they will forever be pariahs, at best.
i dunno. what happened to the SS and SA after 1945 in germany? did they get to go back among the populace as normal or were they shunned into exile? because i seem to remember only a few were tried and the rest just became regular germans.
They were “washed clean”.
In Austria former Nazis even paraded around in uniform after the war, and the Austrians went as far as claiming that the Austrian Nazis were the real victims because they’d been so badly “misled” (yeah fucking right), and they were very hostile towards Jewish etc. people – the actual victims – who tried to get some sort of restitution
Several things occured:
- Some stayed ¹
- Some left
- Some immigrated. ²
- And the rest acquitted. & washed.
¹ The reason 🇩🇪 has a far right.
² Reason why 🇺🇲 stayed far right.my racist uncle with cerebral palsy just married an even more racist “italian princess” from argentina. who speaks less spanish than me. whose family was third generation argentine. i went to their wedding to try to welcome her into the family, she saw my mobility device, sneered, and i literally have not been able to get a single word out of her. good job, uncle!
my mother loves her for some reason.
Birds of a feather
For them it’s all about the means
The claim is from a lawyer’s description of events in a legal complaint seeking monetary damages. It’s hyperbolic, and mostly bullshit.
They stop went as you described. They told him to get out, he didn’t. They threatened to break the window and remove him. He still refused. Then they broke the window, opened the door, and removed him through the open door while he resisted, all the while barking about talking about how they were gonna pay for it. They didn’t drag him through glass, and didn’t drag him through the window. He had a small cut on his arm. There was a small bit of visible blood on his arm. if he didn’t put that spot of arm in front of the camera lens, you wouldn’t know it was cut. His physical injuries were visible, but negligible.
The worst part is that this worthless cunt got the working end of what he voted for, and now he’s probably gonna get a judgment or settlement that we all get to pay for. Sadly, the faces getting eaten here are taxpayers’.
∗Clears throat to imitate MAGA voice∗:
HE SHOULD HAVE OBEYED THE LAW!
YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE YOUR PAPERS ON YOU AT ALL TIMES RETARD! WOKE RETARD DESERVES THIS!!/s
I know they read this /c/. So we have to remind them who they are.
Good, it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving dickhead. I hope it happens to him many more times before this is over.
Most likely, he’ll still end up deported eventually. They don’t respect Birthright Citizenship, and that’s in the Constitution. They certainly don’t respect Naturalized Citizenship.
Bottom line: If you weren’t born in America, of American parents, then they want you OUT.
Bottom line: If you weren’t born in America, of THE RIGHT American parents, then they want you OUT.
Valid.
On November 15, 2025, Aceituno was […]
Ima stop you there and ask: On November 14, 2025, if you had asked him who he supported, would he have said Trump? Because I bet the answer is “yes”, and if so, fuck everyone like him. They support Trump until something happens to them. They can’t be bothered to understand how any of this affects anyone but themselves.
Of course I’ll be glad if he votes blue from here on out, but I bet he won’t.
And even after it happens to them, they’ll still vote Republican. Because they are incapable of learning.
Yea, I’m actually surprised he changed his mind, a lot of them go “well that sucks, but I know it’s not president’s fault, it’s the woke left that’s making ICE this aggressive”
Boo Hoo! So sad! turns out voting for Nazis is a bad idea, if only absolutely everyone had warned you…
Poor window.
