The White House lawn was lined with around 100 mug shots of alleged illegal immigrants who have been arrested and the crimes they allegedly committed, as Donald Trump tries to draw attention to his actions during the first 100 days of his second term.

The names and exact locations of the individuals are not on the posters, which line “Pebble Beach,” where television crews typically do live shots in front of the White House—among their alleged crimes are sexual offenses and murder.

    Even if we have him the benefit of the doubt, that this is true, it was proven, there was due process …… ICE snatched more than 100 people. What about the rest of the people?

    Yes because Mugshots are done in cars, outside, in hallways, and only occasionally with a flat white background. We all know this.

    Seriously though, only some of these are actual mugshots, often they seem to just be pictures of accused people with no fucking names attached so there is no way to fact check it.

          i say this without sarcasm: it’s not hard if you’re not american.

          the last time i was in the US, it amazed me how ubiquitous Fox News is everywhere. like, in your cafes, in your bars, in your casinos - it’s fucking everywhere. the rest of us realized how horrible they were a long, long time ago.

          that said, i know that a good solid majority of Americans are fully against what’s going on. so i’m not knocking you insomuch as just pointing out that the rest of the world isn’t being glazed constantly.

    *accused immigrants. *innocent immigrants.

    remember: they are innocent until due process happens.

    fun fact: the white house is ignoring said process because they are fascist.

    Trump is scared about his polls on immigration and he likely wants whitehouse protesters to protest with this in the background.

    A lack of due process has broken through, and he’s freaking out.

        Yeah, he might be trying to do that.

        He might also be trying to turn his polling on immigration around. All this shady deportation stuff has pushed him underwater on immigration. Americans were majority positive when it was all about slowing crossings, but they’re not down with deporting documented people, deporting people without judicial review, accusing people of gang crimes because they’re brown and have tattoos, or throwing people into gulags.

    Don’t like that the news articles are accepting the framing of “illegal immigrants” in the headline when the names etc are unknown. Sure thats what the white house says they are, but they are not trustworthy

    Could the opposite lawns be posted with pics of the 10:1 or more ratio of authority and clergy that commit the same crimes?

    100 mugshots and how many total were deported? Is it also 100?

    I don’t agree that the things shown on these signs should lead to deportations without due process.

    But even if I did think that, then this would only make sense if Trump’s administration had deported around 100 people. The latest number I saw was around 140K. About 1400 per mug shot here.

    This is like if you had 1400 students in your high school senior class, and they decided not to give anybody a diploma. And the evidence they showed was that one person out of 1400 had failed.
