/checks to see if it’s Colorado Springs
Of course it is.
Right wing AF. I don’t think many people have a clue how insanely god-squad right wing the USAF Academy is. It’s cult-like.
Everything that would normally get you a small infraction or fine, will now make you an illegal immigrant ready to be thrown into the concentration camps.
Only the elite are allowed to live, the rest should remain silent, obedient and weak.
There will be no more partying. No more unsanctioned laughter and joy.
Colorado springs, huh? Yeah they just needed to be brown there.
Edit: it seems that place is actually changing since they recently elected an African immigrant mayor. I always only knew it as a right wing shithole.
What “illegal immigrants” in their right mind would be out partying at an after hours night club with everything going on? I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few, but 100? This reeks of steamed hams. 100 migrants localized entirely in this illegal nightclub, in this political climate? I would like to see the evidence
Let's be honest, most people are dumb and operate under the "It won't happen to me" delusion
They probably weren't out partying carrying their birth certificate on them. At this stage you're probably considered illegal if you can't prove your citizenship right then and there.
Even if you have evidence, ICE will just say, “take them anyway! They don’t look white.”
"Steamed Hamming" is my new phrase of the year.
Well I'm from Aspen, and we don't call them illegal After hours nightclubs...
If it's illegal and all that, yes, they should be held to standard.
But given the fact that this administration likes to slap the word "illegal" on anything they don't like, was it really? Or is it a boy crying wolf again?
Did you buy a Tesla? No? Congrats, you are part of the illegal boycott now. President said so.
I didn't buy a Tesla, no. Yet it is not illegal for me because he's not my president and he has no legal power over me, even if I'm also indirectly affected by his policies. American defaultism is pretty cringe, imho.
Did you buy one? Because if so you unironically contributed to the mess which allowed the richest man to buy his way into presidency.
See? I can also reply nonsense and immature "gotcha" stuff that has nothing to do with what I originally said as well. 🥸
If it's illegal and all that, yes, they should be held to standard.
The past few years have eroded the meaning of illegal, and even standards. They have even chose to ignore due process.
Nobody should be deported their "legality" shouldn't matter. Nobody is illegal.
Who said they should be deported? And if they are indeed commiting an illegal act under the written law, why shouldn't they be subject to any consequences for breaking said law?
I don't agree with authoritarianism, but I won't defend lawlessness either. These extreme and radical stances from either party are why the US is where it currently is.
I cast my doubt over the the very foundation of the act of imprisoning these people, not if they're innocent or not. Because without due process everyone is guilty until proven otherwise - and even then not really. I think you missed my entire point.
Colorado was one of the states that has been very actively fighting Trump's goons. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.
I just want to point out that Colorado Springs is the polar opposite of what people think of when they think of Colorado.
Colorado Springs is a military-focused city being the home of the US Airforce Academy. It's famous for its mega-churches and hosts the headquarters of the extreme right-wing group "Focus on the Family". Their mayor recently said that people could report anyone they suspected of being an illegal immigrant and the city would investigate it.
DEA has also been quite active recently, seems like more than one investigation is wrapping up.
For example, the landlord of this property said he was really surprised the renters were doing after hours shenanigans, thier lease doesn't even allow events with alcohol and this was thier last month, he is planninga renovation of the space. So the DEA knows all of this, of course, and raided the place on one of the last nights.
Pullen estimated more than 200 people were inside the nightclub. Also among those detained were a dozen active-duty military members who either were patrons or working as armed security. Some patrons were arrested on undisclosed outstanding warrants, Pullen said.
That's just an average night club. You got college kids, people doing cocaine, tech bros, tourists.
bullshit
