Not the same word but in the many Filipino dialects, apparently there is no word for hike. All my relatives could only come up with the equivalent for “walk”.

This is what I read. Apparently HSI operates within ICE. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/ap-report-ice-agents-will-help-with-security-at-milan-cortina-olympics

I should have clarified that it is HSI that is there, not ICE.

It doesn’t matter to him unless someone comes out as transgender or accepting of transgender people, right?

The thing that is being buried by most headlines and maybe articles is that ICE is a part of Department of Homeland Security. One such part of DSH is Homeland Security Investigations. People are conflating the two. HSI has been for many years at such international events with a U.S. presence to conduct investigations regarding international crime and terrorism.

So are the Tesla supporters gonna turn on him?

This makes so much sense now. If it was some other religious entity, they probably wouldn’t have done this.

EDIT: It is shocking that any such organization can claim to preach acceptance for all people when they put on their website they hate non-heterosexual people. The mega church where I live has the same thing posted too.

checks notes regarding U.S. citizens being detained by ICE So simply being alive is a crime too.

🥹 Yes, I am crying.

EDIT:

So DHS really didn’t teach the new hires anything useful. Got it.

There is a new (not certain) platform called UpScrolled that people are moving to.

I’ve been interested in the NX-01 jacket, so I decided to order it.

There it is: Rayner, with sexual assaults allegations, directed a $40 million documentary about Melania. So Trump wants him to be able to make Rush Hour 4.

Again, the rapist is helping out his own kind.

They honestly lost me with the fitness platform they were developing with the hardware they tried launching before they got bought by Fitbit.

I’m too baked into my Apple Watch to use a Pebble today. I don’t have any of my old watches. I would not mind a circular Apple Watch. I loved the Pebble Round.

This is a new version of an existing device that FameTek made years ago.

I’m not defending either organization. Just clarifying that the roles they have are different.

Yes, it is an excellent movie. My favorite of all the Hanks movie I have seen.

Unless you are actively traveling from outside the country, you won’t ever be encountering CBP.

This is not ICE. CBP is Customs and Border Protection. They deal directly with the border and other entry points like airports, border crossing and ports. The easiest example of what they do is to point you towards the movie The Terminal. In that movie, Tom Hanks plays an Eastern European, Viktor Navorski (fictional country) who gets denied entry to the U.S. upon arrival when a government coup sees his visa invalidated mid flight. The film depicts head of CBP at JFK airport in New York, in a struggling battle to keep Hank’s character in the international terminal, the only legal area he can occupy after determining that they can’t send him back amid a civil war which the U.S. has yet to recognize a formal government. The conflict directly centered around the recognition of his country’s government. While in mid flight to the U.S. the civil war began and the government was dissolved. Upon landing at JFK, he no longer had valid paperwork to enter the U.S. After determining he could not enter the country legally, it is made frighteningly clear that without a government that the U.S. recognizes, he could not legally be returned home either. The movie depicts Viktor’s struggle to continue his life inside the international thermal of JFK, awaiting the day he can finally leave.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement deal with immigration and customs enforcement. So this organization works inside the borders of the country. They deal with immigration and customs violations, and trafficking and cross-border crimes.

These are not the same organizations and they serve different purposes. Both fall under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security. People are conflating the two organizations since they deal with the legality of being in the United States but they have different methods of operation.

EDIT: CBP try to stop you from entering the country. ICE try to eject you once you have gotten inside.

X-Men are a American Civil Rights allegory.

I haven’t done it myself but I know relatives who attended and they disliked the experience. I recall them saying they arrived at 5am just to get a seat.
