I'm not. The UK's consular service, and the FCO in general, has a reputation for being unhelpful and conflict-averse when Brits overseas find themselves in legal difficulties.
Well, until recently, they probably had to preserve their resources to protect the king's brother from legal prosecution.

Man, somehow the pro-ICE set is really knocking it out of the self-owning park over the Mexico cartel violence.

When they came to Minnesota for the worst of the worst, they told our prison officials they were "too busy" to pick them up. In actuality they just wanted to stage the argument that we weren't being helpful.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is “lying to Congress and the American people” and directing new recruits to “violate the Constitution,” according to a whistleblower who testified on Capitol Hill Monday.

Ryan Schwank, a former ICE lawyer who worked at the federal government’s law enforcement training academy, stepped down from his post last week after submitting a whistleblower complaint about an agency policy directing agents to enter homes and arrest people without a judge’s warrant.

Power to the whistleblowers!

DHS says none of this is its fault. The agency that built the facilities, filled them with captives, and hired the contractors insists it has no responsibility for what those contractors do once the door closes. When a guard rapes a detainee, the government points at the operator. When the operator is asked, it points at the individual. I requested comments from CoreCivic on conditions at Dilley. The company did not respond. Nobody responds. That is the point.

The entire system is designed so that a man can sexually abuse a woman in federal custody for five months and no one in the chain of command ever has to say his name in public. A detainee cannot choose who watches her cell, cannot leave, and cannot safely report what was done to her because every mechanism for reporting has been gutted. One woman at an East Coast compound filed a complaint and was thrown into solitary confinement as punishment. Others never spoke. They understood what happens to women who file complaints.

WOW... I mean... there is a zillion reasons that guy is a moron, but one of them is that traditionally the pope is infallible. So believing you know Catholic religion better than the Pope is just a direct logical contradiction. I'm also certain this guy wouldn't say to always follow law enforcement if it was a Democrat telling them to do something he disagreed with. So he's offering to "educate" the Pope about something he almost certainly doesn't believe himself.

He's infallible when speaking ex cathedra on matters of faith and doctrine (i.e. he's infallible when he says he is) but I agree, the presupposition is that when he talks about matters of doctrine he knows what he's talking about.

Right... the Pope can obviously be wrong on some things, but I don't think any actual Catholic can claim to know Catholic teachings better than the Pope. So much of Catholic dogma, as I understand it, is that the Church (the Pope) has final authority on the word of god. If you think you read the Bible better than he did, you're just wrong. This is in contrast to many Protestant denominations that believe the word itself has final authority and not a particular church.

Homan's underlying assumption would seem to be that law enforcement is inherently anti-immigrant or something. Shocking! :shiftyeyes:

I kind of like how the social media interns at ICE and other administration departments keep using these songs that they obviously personally enjoy by bands they obviously personally like, not just in silly propaganda like this but also at their conferences and speeches and events and stuff, only to repeatedly, consistently and very publicly get trashed by those bands. I think my favorite instance was Elon Musk getting shut down by Tom Morello.

It's just really hilarious watching old white MAGAs paint themselves further and further into this corner where they have to uncomfortably smile and pretend that they really like listening to Kid Rock's and Nicki Minaj's rap music when they so, so clearly don't, lol.
