Americans heard “liberty or death” and said “death please!”
How is that different from martial law?
Arresting illegal immigrants is the same as martial law?
Hugs, sweetie.
I’ll chalk that up as a “can’t answer without making myself look silly” then.
Military unilaterally policing civil affairs on US soil
HoW iS tHaT mArTiAL Law??
Just look up the definition you fucking stooge.
Federal military enforcing federal immigration policies is not martial law.
Federal military enforcing federal immigration policies is not martial law.
A military performing law enforcement isn’t martial law? Please enlighten me as to how that is lol
Have the military replaced the government now?
Do you know what the F in FBI stands for by any chance?
Martial law this ain’t. By definition it isn’t even close.
US service members participating in these actions are enemies of the state IMO. I would like to see them treated as such.
migrants
They mean illegal immigrants, as that is who is being arrested. I’m sure the title leaving that out was just an honest mistake…lol
as that is who is being arrested
I’m guessing you don’t read the news much
Who has been arrested incorrectly in this military zone around El Paso?
No idea. That’s the problem. ICE isn’t bothering to determine if the people it deports have proper documentation or not. The plethora of incorrectly arrested and/or deported people we DO know about, we only know because journalists and citizens did the investigating. Which is why ICE is working harder and harder to hide any details about what they’re doing and who they’re arresting.
No idea.
So why did you say I don’t read the news much? We’re talking about this new military zone around El Paso.
Even if we widen it to the el salvador stuff like you are, no one is being deported who has “proper documentation”. Not a single US citizen has been deported (apart from minors who are sent with their deported parents/carers as they cannot stay by themselves).

They deported multiple people with no due process. They have no idea if the people they deported were citizens because they didn’t check and didn’t care
“The president gets expanded powers during an emergency”
“The president gets to declare what is an emergency”
Thanks Supreme Court and Congress. Who could have ever guessed that this system would be abused by an authoritarian. 🤷♂️
… This is unironically what all the rightwing conspiricists have been afraid of for two+ decades now.
This is what they thought Clinton, or Obama or somehow the UN or ‘ZOG’ would be able to use as the mechanism to instate tyranny.
… And now they are doing it themselves, so utterly deluded that they would short cicruit if you tried to explain this to them.
I grew up in a right wing nutjob household. This is what I was told my whole life, growing up. I was indoctrinated into it, and had to deconvert myself out of it similar how I had to deconvert out of christian extremism.
These people are perfect hypocrites.
Remember Jade Helm? They thought Obama was going to use military exercises to take control of Texas back in 2015 or so. Gov. Shitstain even made some comment lending credence to the theories. Now there’s a president using the military to control parts of Texas and they’re cool with it.
Yep.
Thats another prime example of them literally doing essentially exactly their paranoid fears.
Oh howabout FEMA death/concentration camps?
… Well, FEMA is probably fucking over, but the plan for migrants, suspected migrants, and the homeless… literally is send them all to prison camps, and if we don’t have enough capacity, build more pop up semi permanent structure camps on the outskirts of major cities.
They became lost, staring into the void, and now are the monsters they dreamed of.
They were worried about those things because they knew what they would do if they had the power.
This exactly. It was their guilty fucking conscious driving their narratives.
Selfish, emotionally immature, fearful idiots believe that everyone else is like them, and is just lying about not being so.
Therefore, all those ‘other people’ are devious liars who are more crafty then ‘us’, so ‘we’ must outscheme ‘them!’
… all of this shit is literally scientifically verified.
The more conservative you are, the more likely your brain make up is to respond out of fear of potential loss, to shut out disconfirming informstion… as opposed to the potential gain of trying or exploring something new, that causes you to confront whether or not you may be wrong.
Yup, and you can make people more conservative by blasting them with propaganda about how scary “the other” is.
