A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors
A Nashville comedianβs deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the βbanality of evil personifiedβ in the U.S. immigration crackdown.
New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

From my latest: did you know that the so-called "Law of Supply and Demand" was formally disproven three quarters of a century ago? And not by a Marxist, but by a Nobel Prize winning liberal economist?
You know who *don't* know this? Most capitalist pundits.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

He's singing "Lo Que Le PasΓ³ a Hawaii," an anti-statehood song that holds up Hawaii as a cautionary tale (as already established, Benito is pro independence)

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) β Alberto CastaΓ±eda MondragΓ³n says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.
But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.
He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friendβs car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.
He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man βpurposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.β
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldnβt remember he had a daughter.

What in the anti-factual is this? I shared a thread describing 158 speakers vehemently opposed the detention camp. 2 in favor. 500 residents in the overflow area. And, hundreds outside with signs.
