Immigration authorities can now enter schools, healthcare facilities and places of worship to conduct arrests, according to a new policy from the Department of Homeland Security.

“Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement. “The Trump administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense.”

      Yeah my atheist brain is about to explode here with so many competing thoughts.

        As social democratic hardcore atheist I’m not conflicted at all. Places of reflection (including places of worship), learning, and recovery, shouldn’t be casually defiled by violence including law enforcement.

        There are valid exceptions, where the necessity of protecting human dignity (in the philosophical sense) is paramount, but they should remain exceptions.

          Yeah I know and I agree with that you say. My conflict is with the FAFO part of my brain. I’m not proud of it. Knowing and admitting is half the battle.

          But come one, you have to taste at least a little bit of the irony; no? ;-)

    “The power of your Christ can no longer protect you!” He cackled before disappearing from the podium in a cloud of brimstone and spiders.

    This is about raiding Hispanic churches. You know for sure he’s not going to raid white churches.

    And now that all the social media apps from tiktok to facebook are in his pocket we won’t even get videos of the arrests going viral - they’ll be immediately censored.

    This was an important one. The general strike planned for 2028 is beyond fucked.

      If anyone uses loops and starts posting videos, I will direct Tiktok people over there… It’s hard to recommend right now due to the small amount of content.
