“Despite possessing Certificates of Indian Blood (CIBs) and state-issued IDs, several individuals have been detained or questioned by ICE agents who do not recognize these documents as valid proof of citizenship,” the Navajo Nation Council stated in a press release.

They not only are making arrests without warrants, but are also choosing to not recognize official documents......

So....where are the Navajo going to be deported to?

So buy American or products without tariffs
Even if every product was made the in the US (delusional), where do you think US businesses get their raw materials from? Small businesses would be forced to raise their prices, big businesses would get as close to price matching foreign goods as possible. Prices on everything will go up if we enact tariffs on our three biggest trading partners. You said you understand how tariffs work, and now you're demonstrating that you do not.

Plants are alive, when are you going to start starving yourself? Or do you think that certain lives are more valuable than others?

I stated that we are no better than other animals, not that we shouldn't eat them. If you're saying we shouldn't eat seeds or mushrooms I'd love you hear your argument.

Don't really see the problem with this. questioning people and checking their status is quite literally their job and this means that they're actually actively going to be making sure people in the US illegally won't be tolerated.

If you had actually read the article you linked you would have seen there's multiple tribes that are located in Mexico and along the border so WHY would it be such a suprise that they would have their documents checked?

Ignoring official documents is basically saying they don't care. Funny how the Navajo were here in what we call the United States before the US was founded. So.....

Just like how some Republicans want to deport the bishop for what she said. Deport where? New Jersey?

Correct, as per the article, but the tribes impacted are many more than the tribes with territories across the border.

The article also mentions that the DOJ is citing an 1884 Supreme Court decision as validation for these checks, whilst also ignoring the more recent Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 that gives Native Americans born on American soil citizenship.

Obviously it's a very case-by-case basis but it's not black and white. What's procedure for one tribe, area, etc. may not be for another and so on. But having documents checked is one thing, while having state-issued ID and Supreme Court precedent is quite another.

These people simply cannot comprehend that the US has neither the infrastructure to bring manufacturing for everything here, that not everything grows on US soil (and can't), and that we don't have the population (6.9 million unemployed at our 4.1% rate as of Jan 2025) to fill these jobs if somehow we managed to pull off the first two.

I really don't care if MAGAs end up destitute over this. It's a good thing if it happens.

The funniest thing about this alleged "salute", is that when Canada invited an actual real Nazi (Yaroslav Hunka) to the Canadian parliament in 2023 and gave him a standing ovation, there was not a peep out of the left on here, Nada, nowt, nothing not even a slight squeak could be heard about that. Yet now you are misrepresenting someone, taking them out of context and making up llies to fit your narative.

It's interesting for me to study the mental behavior of some of the posters on here to see how mental the average left wing fanatic with TDS has actually eneded up being this crazy. It's almost as if all left wing fanatics were programmed by the same lines of code to bend any situation you disagree with into some hate filled driven wibble that only someone with the same code base can understand. It just shows me how easy it is getting to manipulate the average person and plant ideas into their heads for my own ends that they think is their own. Generally it's getting harder to view text on the net and wonder if it's just a mad person with mental issues or just lots of bots that have been programmed by a madman.
I am Canadian. I was there. And the peep was loud. Trudeau was heavily criticised and there were large protests.

You probably didn't hear a peep because your country is self-centered and doesn't care about other country's mess ups, but I can guarantee that most sensible people here, regardless of their parties' affiliation, heavily criticised our prime minister almost to the point of being crucified.

Don't compare your left-wing/right-wing nut cases with ours. Yours is on a whole different level because of your divisive culture and distrust amoung yourselves, to the point where it is toxic.

Actually if you re-read my post - there was not a peep out of the left on here. The left on THIS SITE which go on about NAZI's all the time and call everyone they disagree with a NAZI were very, very, very quiet when the far left communist loving dictator of a prime minister of Canada and your far left socialist party invited an actual real life NAZI to parliament and then gave him a standing ovation. Yes they were as quiet as a mouse wearing pink fluffy slippers when the rest of the world was disgusted with your parliaments actions and the shame it brought to Canada.
These same quiet mice on here are quite happy to make up crap about other people though, they bend the truth, lie about others, call people names etc. They are generally quite disgusting people in all honesty and your effiminate soy drinking beta "male" PM Trudeau is a traitor to all Canadians and should be locked up forever for the harm he's done to your country.

The sheer lack of basic awareness to make a post like that.

Like across the board Trump and MAGAs by far are the worst in the regard and you all have little weird snowflake tantrums when we fire back at your low IQ hypocritical asses.

Yes you are manipulated as the side by side is different, one video is Elon had his hand oin his chest before putting his arm out, Hitler didn't do that, in the video Hitlers ar wasn't out to side. The photo was where if you watched where Hitler does in videos that was from it was for a crowd where Hitler always it salutes straight as that was the symbol and only moved side to side afterwards for the crowd,

Apparently you didn't do research of WW2 where nazis killed soldiers that did not salute straight as it could be a spy, sure they check papers butpapers can be faked and the salute done properly and exactly as Hitler did it is proof anyone is part of the nazi cause.

I guess you like to be part of the crowd that avoids fact and supported that 2+2=5 because math is racist because typically use edit footage or footage in a way to manipulate to bring hate towards that person. I mean thathas happend to Trump, Tim pool, Elon, Joe Rogan and many others many times.... Keep being manipulated, be a NPC
Dude, this what's exactly what's called dog whistling:rolleyes:

His German AFD Party fans are also doing such things: https://www.thetimes.com/world/europe/article/afd-accused-nazi-symbolism-election-germany-hm8dv7nql

They are considered to be far-right in Germany and currently the German parliament is even trying to cancel the party completely, due to their open fascist nature.

If you then add to the insult that Musk also has connections to other far-right European politicians like Farage, Le Penn, Meloni, et al, there's no doubt why he has chosen this symbolic gesture: The people whom he wants to reach will clearly have understood his message.

Obviously, this is all my POV and my interpretation which is why I said earlier: let's lean back and relax and see what the German court has to say about this "oh so innocent gesture". If they decide against the activist groups the message is clear: it's a Nazi salute. I'm pretty sure they will decide that way, btw, because there's been such decisions for even less similar gestures.

Honestly, I think it's very strange that you are calling other people manipulated, while you are the one who is defending a completely unhinged billionaire who is trying to make the cancer of fascism grow all over the world and even have the balls to talk about doing some research, while you seem to have no clue what is happening in Europe since a while, already.

Now you can start again with your deflection strategy or some stupid whataboutism, as you Lady Trump and President Musk fanboys usually do, but don't expect me to invest more of my precious time before you actually did some research about Musk's European friends. I guess you actually don't really care and would even consider all of them decent humans which is just telling everyone that you are completely lost beyond hope.

Who... who cares if it comes up here? Seriously! There's like ten of us at any given time!

In my own experience United States issues tend to come up and stick around for far longer than other issues. This is a small subforum on a gaming forum in a small corner of the Internet. Most of us here are either American or closely follow American politics, so American issues are more likely to be the center of attention. In fact, most of the time the conversations overstay their welcome so much that a mod has to shut it down after they devolve into name-calling.

The national response by Canada for the event you described is infinitely more relevant to global implications of perceived Nazism then what a handful of forum-goers think.

I can't tell if this clarification is saving face for getting called out or just extremely misguided logic.

yeah I don't think you'd be too happy either if this happened to you.

Especially one that pays less tax (in dollars) that the average American, even though he claims to be a Billionaire.
He pays more in taxes than you'll likely make in your lifetime. You just cling to every false claim that you think makes him look bad, like any other person with TDS. The time he is purported to have paid little to no taxes, was because he had already OVERPAID before that. Get your facts straight. I even overpay, because if you owe more than $1000 for 2 consecutive years (when filing your annual taxes), there are additional penalties involved. It's better to be owed a return. For this reason, people who earn in the millions, pay taxes quarterly.

Can't even with you people. In the face of numerous facts and undeniable, verified events that have occurred this is always the pivot. That we have derangement.

We aren't the ones who voted for a convicted felon, found liable of rape, cheated on his wives multiple times, and has made numerous racist remarks for starters. You all really need to reevaluate your values.

Never has this been more applicable:
