politics @lemmy.world•Army vet detained by ICE for 8 hours says he wasn't allowed to call an attorney
343·7 months agoIn my local jail, it can take up to a week to be able to call someone but typically more like 3 days. This is because the phones in the holding cells are often broken, so you need to wait until after bail is set and you go upstairs, and then they charge money to make the calls. Meaning, if you don’t have an account already set up, you’re going to have to wait until someone is willing to show you how to set it up. That’s just for regular criminal issues.

68·7 months agoLee said the site does not operate as “civil detention,” arguing it functions like a punitive facility despite housing families.
Because that’s not a thing. Taking away someone’s freedom is a punishment that can only be enforced through violence.

12·7 months agoIf everyone agrees, then censorship doesn’t exist at all. Like, it’s not censorship that nobody is saying “Humans don’t actually need to breathe.” Everyone just knows it is wrong, so they don’t say that.

Wow. There was just zero reason for him to say anything. Nobody is accusing Fortnite of being unsafe for kids. And he chose to say that. For himself.

News@lemmy.world•Woman who says she was born in Maryland released from ICE custody after 25 days
54·7 months ago“He said attorneys submitted her birth certificate and other documentation that they say proved she’s a U.S. citizen. But it still wasn’t enough to get her released from ICE custody.”
"In my years now of being an immigration attorney, I have never had to go this far for a case. What we were finally able to get and what we worked on getting was a lengthy affidavit from a medical professional, a doctor who described why the birth certificate was authentic,” Pérez said.
“Her attorneys say she remains under ICE supervision. They said the Department of Homeland Security continues to challenge in federal court the claim that she is a U.S. citizen and she still faces the threat of deportation.”
Horrifying but lines up with what happened in Chicago. They only care about what their internal data says, not facts.

I wish Kraus and Zappala were willing to take a stand like that.

High speed rail networks. (A) Planes have to directly compete with the fares of the trains, but also (B) You have the option to skip the prime airports and go to the cheaper one 90 minutes out. It’s not a problem. People can take the train in. Look at how many airports are in the London area. It’s insane. If the airport tries to regulate your fees up, you just go to a different one.
