They are going door to door in the neighborhood I grew up in.
They're bringing in a lot of US citizens here in Minneapolis/St Paul, including a bunch of Native folks.
The sex offender they'd been looking for at ChongLy Thao's house had already been in jail for a year.
The Dept of Corrections is annoyed enough about the slander of their work that they now have a whole page with stats and details about their transfers to ICE, including some video of them transferring criminals into ICE custody https://mn.gov/doc/about/news/combatting-dhs-misinformation/
I am pretty nervous about the possibilities for trampling peoples' Constitutional rights in ever more sophisticated ways, but the current iteration can't even merge a database and then get accurate names & addresses out to field agents. (That doesn't stop the kidnappings, it just makes it a big waste of money as adult US citizens with no criminal record do by & large get released.)
I'm not disagreeing, but that article reeks of "we counted all the petty BS we don't even try to solve to make the numbers look bad to justify asking for more resources"
Approximately nobody uses US coins outside the US. Even in countries where the dollar is widely accepted, trying to use coins will get you weird looks at best.
If those are below average in CO2 emissions you would make the numbers worse though, and that seems pretty likely to me. Need to deport only rich immigrants owning more than one car.
Counting just private jet flight about 200 Elons (5kt CO2/y). Some people are even higher, and large yachts are worse than business jets I'd assume.
But I'd say that people tend to actually overestimate the share of super-rich; ten thousand normal US citizens emit more than a single billionaire, and there's not that many billionaires.
Deported people stop producing CO₂? Never heard that before. How does it work? Do they lose the ability to light a fire or drive a car once not in the US? And, presumably, they'd have to stop eating and breathing too?
Your best example of a "historically efficient way to solve political problems" is a 4 year civil war that killed more than half a million people and, after all that, still left African Americans as second-class citizens for a century after?
The amount of violence to keep the slavery running was huge. You cant pretend that all that violence does not count. That being said, war was more about south wanting war/leave the union, because the north did not wanted to expand the slavery to new territories. That threated the south.
It is not like north would march in there to stop the slavery. There was an anti slavery army - John Brown with his, like, 20 or so people attacking south.
African Americans as second class citizens were in fact much better off then them being slaves.
We can theorize about the non-violent path to emancipation, and the speedy path to legal equality.
But it's counterfactual. It took severe violence plus 100 years to get there. Plus another 60 (yikes) to get to where we are today.
That's horrible! But nothing about that reality suggests to me that there was a less-violent or speedier way to get there. Governments are made of people.
Getting there was a worthwhile goal. I don't think there's a "but at what cost?" debate here.
So it sure doesn't feel "efficient", but it might be the "most efficient possible" in the human world.
Because it conflicts with the holding in another circuit, called a "circuit split," which is one of the most common causes of the Supreme Court choosing to hear a case. The Supreme Court doesn't want forum shopping.
> In this scenario the precedent has already been set in the 5th, why would the Supreme Court hear it again?
A circuit split on an issue is one of the factors that traditionally weighs in favor of the Supreme Court hearing it, in the interests of uniformity of the law.
If the Supreme Court likes the 5th Circuit rule, they take the case it make it the rule, period.
Many phones indeed only support USB 2.0. For example the base iPhone 17. The Pro does support USB 3.2, however.
> I guess everybody has given up on the idea of saving their photos and videos over USB?
Correct.
