  • Oh and here we are, thinking everyone on earth speaks English. How American of you!

    /s

  • Does every fucking press release need to read like the Mustard Mussolini wrote it nowadays?

    +waves hands around like playing a tiny accordion+

    WE HAVE some of the best writing, many words they didn't think were possible, but SOMETHING has been written. They are great words, REALLY STRONG words! Men came up to me, grown men, some of them generals, tears in their eyes saying... "Sir! We really didn't think someone would have these words! It's amazing!"

  • The IRS has once again delayed the implementation of the new $600 reporting threshold for Form 1099-K, giving taxpayers more time to prepare for the changes.

    The fucking clickbait title could have said that, and I would have been interested to know what the 1099-K was for.

    But no, fuck you, I'll ask some AI.

  • Give the Mustard Mussolini another year and he'll say the same thing when he shoots down the Delta flight with some former president he didn't like on it.

    This is just the beginning of this bullshit and he's just going to get bolder.

  • -and "unlawful"

    And that's stopped him when exactly?

  • Dear Constituents,

    Until you ignorant cunts stop voting down party lines, you don't get to act angry, shocked, surprised, disappointed.

    It's the party stupid.

  • John Wick needs to go after these bastards

  • The media that only talks about Trump and copitulates to his every whim isn't talking about the true atrocities his cult commits?

    Shocking I say!

  • You know these fuckers will keep a supply in the works for themselves.

    Class wars, disasters, make people need a savior.

    That's the whole fucking game, and the ignorant cunts keep voting for it

  • Don't you fucking threaten me with a good time.

  • The problem with most Democrats is they assume anything said or done during the next election will matter.

    Seriously, what are angry letters from Schumer going to do when the SCOTUS rules in his favor over ignore several electoral votes cause he claims they're fake?

    What's the cabinet going to accomplish when it's all hand picked fuckwads who play his tune like a bad 3rd world regime?

    What's the vote of half the house or Senate matter when you need a clear majority to enact an impeachment, and half the country is still good with this all?

    Lemmy needs a remindme bot, cause I really want to see how this goes in 3.5 years.

  • sigh debating it on Lemmy or reddit or wherever isn't going to change their behavior. If you want to argue with them, and you're not quite white enough to avoid getting harassed by them, here is your food for through...

    The authority of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) extends beyond the physical land borders of the United States. A federal regulation establishes a "100-mile zone" where CBP agents have expanded powers to conduct certain enforcement activities. This zone also applies to international airports, which are legally considered the "functional equivalent" of a border.

    The 100-Mile Zone and International Airports

    It is true that the extended enforcement authority of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) includes the areas surrounding international airports. This is not a new policy but is based on a long-standing legal concept.

    • Legal Foundation: The authority is primarily rooted in the Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 287 (8 U.S.C. § 1357). This statute grants federal immigration officers the power to conduct certain enforcement activities without a warrant "within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States."
    • Defining "Reasonable Distance": The specific distance is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (8 CFR § 287.1(a)(2)). This regulation officially sets the "reasonable distance" as "within 100 air miles from any external boundary of the United States."
    • The "Functional Equivalent" Doctrine: While the law mentions "external boundary," courts have consistently held that locations like international airports are the "functional equivalent of the border." This judicial doctrine allows law enforcement to treat these points of entry as if they were the physical border. The U.S. Supreme Court first articulated this concept in the case of Almeida-Sanchez v. United States, 413 U.S. 266 (1973). The court reasoned that a search at a location that is the functional equivalent of a border, such as the point where a person disembarks from an international flight, is legally similar to a search at the actual border.

    According to analysis by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), this zone includes about two-thirds of the U.S. population.

    What CBP Agents Can Do in the 100-Mile Zone

    Within this zone, CBP's authority is broader than that of other law enforcement agencies. The specific activities depend on the context, such as at a fixed checkpoint or during a roving patrol.

    At Fixed Immigration Checkpoints

    CBP can legally operate checkpoints within the 100-mile zone. At these locations, agents can:

    • Stop Vehicles: Stop any vehicle to briefly question occupants about their citizenship and immigration status without any suspicion of wrongdoing.
    • Request Documentation: Ask for documents that prove a legal right to be in the U.S.
    • Conduct Visual Inspections: Visually inspect the vehicle from the outside.
    • Refer to Secondary Inspection: Direct any vehicle to a secondary inspection area for further questioning, again without requiring suspicion.

    Searches and Property Access

    • Access to Private Land: A specific provision, 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(3), grants CBP agents access to private lands (but not dwellings) without a warrant within 25 miles of the border to patrol for illegal crossings.

    Here is some more for you since you appear to want to argue the legal theory on this...

    Of course, I am not a practicing lawyer so this isn't law advice. It's links to articles and interpretation.

    If you really want to pick a fight, go to Austin, San Antonio, anywhere north of that and south of Michigan... Find an ICE raid, and debate it with them.

  • International airports also count as the borders, as well as rivers, lochs, and waterways connecting to the ocean.

    Fix the map to include those, and account for population distribution.

  • Yeah, I'm really torn on this one to be honest.

  • Thing is, it's a girl, she's the book keeper, and outside of this blog I can't find the actual quote anywhere.

    Tech bro rage is worth it, most are shitheads... But man this whole story sounds off.
