There is no such thing as narco 'terrorists'.
There is no investigations, Hegsmeth just said 'kill them all'.
But you also think trump is the anti war president.

No they weren't.
They also double tapped 2 survivors of the strike which is a violation of both international and US law.
This does not disprove my comment. However, it does illustrate an issue between states and the federal government. Keep in mind, the GOP loves to trump up the importance of states rights when it comes to things they care about, like abortion. But, when it comes to whether a state should help ICE, they are certainly pro-federalism.
So, looking at the New York stuff, that is basically an issue that New York does not have mandatory holds for undocumented people. Which means unless the ICE folks have a judicial warrant, the state has no need to hold them. Is this good or bad, I'm not sure. But, the reality is that if a New York judge felt that they were deserving to be freed on bail, so be it. That does not mean the state of New York wants violent offenders (documented or not) roaming the streets. But, it is a recognition that the bail system could be broken (i.e., the judges are more willing to grant peace bonds or bail to avoid the crazy over crowding at places like Riker's Island, where some poor bastard spent nearly two years waiting for his case to be heard for allegedly shop lifting a back pack).
It should also be pointed out that the ICE requests are civil immigration detainers, not signed by a judge. Has New York state made mistakes? Probably.
But, my point here, with facts for your pleasure, is that the vast majority of people caught by ICE now are not violent criminals:
.
Now, ICE, because they've been given the greenlight to racially profile people, has detained at least 170 American citizens.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

That is pretty fucked up. How close were they to deporting someone?
I think there is an important distinction to be made here. It isn't like Dems are pro-undocumented, or promote open borders, despite what the right-wing politicians and media say. It is the recognition that the US economy is greased by the cheap labour provided by undocumented workers. I'm not saying its a good thing, but the reality is that many industries in the US rely on this to operate. As I mentioned, the hospitality industry relies a lot on cheap labour to clean hotel rooms or work in kitchens. Many small businesses use them for things like landscaping or construction/roofing. Farms across the country rely on them to pick crops. And we've seen anecdotal evidence that many of these businesses have been hurt by the mass deportation.
As for saying that if someone stays in the US for years and not be deported....I'm not certain that's a bad thing. Let me give an example: The person crosses illegally, but over the past 20 years has worked hard and never broken the law. They might get married and have a family. They pay taxes and what not, but literally never see any benefit (because they might pay into social security, they can never use it). Far from being a leech on the system, they actually support it, helping to sustain it. They could be a small business owner. If you opened up a path to citizenship for them, would that be the worst thing? I don't think so.
Also, I should also say that I am by no means an expert or have any bright ideas on how to fix the system in Canada of the US. In regards to the Canadian stuff, we all know the system was abused (both by industry and individuals). I have no issue with folks being deported for fraudulently coming here. But I also have no issues with the government taking in legit refugees and immigrants. Obviously Canada and the US have different issues. We don't see thousands of south Americans coming across our border (for the most part).
again, Generals have briefed Sec Hegseth that the boat was surveilled... This no difference than obama operation in Libya...we won't get to see evidence because they will h ave it classified...
It does seem like a battle between MAGA using white replacement fear to rage farm their base into voting vs a corporate culture that relies on cheaper, non union labour to stay profitable.
Same as here with Timmies continually requesting TFW's because they are just a bit cheaper than Canadians but willing to put up with more crap while we also watch DoFo and Carney fight back against anti immigrant fears associated with rising unemployment and higher housing costs.
Politicians struggle to play both sides at once.
stop foaming at the mouth, slow down and stop sniffing Trump anal gases....BREAKING UPDATE in NEW Trump case against Letitia James
True.
That exact example of what is not acceptable is in US DoD Law of War Manual. David French, a conservative columnist and former military JAG quoted it in the NY Times: Here's his quote:
To make this case, I have to begin in the most boring way possible — by quoting a legal manual. Bear with me.
Specifically, it’s the most recent edition of the Department of Defense Law of War Manual. Tucked away on page 1,088 are two sentences that illustrate the gravity of the crisis in the Pentagon: “The requirement to refuse to comply with orders to commit law of war violations applies to orders to perform conduct that is clearly illegal or orders that the subordinate knows, in fact, are illegal. For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal.”
Here’s another key line: “It is forbidden to declare that no quarter will be given.” A no quarter order is an order directing soldiers to kill every combatant, including prisoners, the sick and the wounded. The manual continues, “Moreover, it is also prohibited to conduct hostilities on the basis that there shall be no survivors, or to threaten the adversary with the denial of quarter."
For the record.
Read what kherg007 wrote.
Hegseth explicitly said "Kill them all".
It is a war crime.
And I'm quoting a conservative JAG who's quoting the bloody manual itself!
Shocking how that very example of killing the shipwrecked is in the damn manual.
This is what happens when you put lipstick on a pig like Hegseth - an insecure, wannabe tough guy, and give him some power.
He was probably foaming at the mouth to order that air strike and show everybody what a badass he really was.
Faux tough guys are like that. I've worked with some of the toughest blokes around and they absolutely don't talk like hegseth or like those bro boy Podcasters etc. Real tough guys just carry it. They have no need to throw it around.
The Guardian attained a copy of the legal memo they used, which is total nonsense.
They claimed they did the killing at the behest of other countries who clearly did not request the murders.
Trump officials say second strike aimed to destroy suspected drug boat instead of crew
Officials hew closely to secret memo which gives legal cover to firing on boats even if it would kill people on board

Trump gives his own White House ballroom architect the boot after clashes: report
President Donald Trump fired his own ballroom architect after clashing with an architect over expanding the project.
The boutique architecture firm led by James McCrery II was reportedly replaced after three months when questions surfaced over whether the group could manage the large-scale plan, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
"It is unclear whether McCrery stepped back voluntarily, but the men parted on good terms and remain so, according to one of the people familiar with the project, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal conversations," The Post reported.
Trump apparently wanted to increase the size and scope of the project, "but it was McCrery’s firm’s small workforce and inability to hit deadlines that became the decisive factor in him leaving," a source told the outlet.
The president has decided that architect Shalom Baranes will take over the job. Baranes' design firm has designed and renovated government buildings in Washington, D.C. for decades and has taken on projects that include the main Treasury building near the White House and the General Services Administration headquarters.
The $300 million ballroom is one of the largest renovations expected at the White House and follows the demolition of the East Wing, the historic corridor and location of the former first lady's office. Trump has also signaled plans to renovate the National Mall.

Think of the tantalizing evil genius behind appointing a brown FBI Director to carry out his racist agenda.
Hey man, you have Radio Free Mandrill with over 800,000 views on another thread.
Don't worry we've got the usual suspects here posting everything they can about Trump.
I said racist because again that seems to be the foundation of your fascist critique.
Your argument gets murkier when one starts to notice Trump has good relations and supports various groups of color, but does not feel obligated to hold back disdain for illegal immigration, drug runners and Islamic terrorists of a similar racial profile. There isn't the Mein Kampf in the drawer you are opening.
