Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

So what I'm not understanding is, why are we putting people in jail for something that isn't causing harm? Unless, is there something about overstaying your visa that is harmful?
Read the article. Canada (Canadian Border Officials) discovered that she was in the US with the wrong type of visa, so she was taken into custody. This would have happened in the past as well. The amount of time it takes I assume depends on the amount of people being investigated.
This is incorrect. Canada discovered she had an incorrect visa to enter Canada, as she had a tourist visa and they determined she'd need a work visa - so they sent her back to the USA, where she had come from, to reapply for her Canadian visa and then re-enter - but the USA border agents, on seeing her getting rejected, questioned her about her stay in the USA and determined she had broken the terms of the visa she was in the USA under, and thus detained her.
Yes, maybe what I wrote is easily read wrong. I meant taken into custody by the US.
To do maximum harm to Hispanics. We have totally legal Americans who are Hispanic leaving the country, they can afford to, and it's all because of this ethnic clensing, which is 100% what anti immigration hate is about its that Hispanics aren't white enough, and they want us all out now.
There's already talk from Trump's goverment that they are considering special IDs being required. You know. Exactly what the Nazi did gearing up for the holocaust. This is ethnic clensing, it's disregarding the rights of any Hispanic people and attacking them legally and illegally and daring anyone to stop them. So far, no one in particular cares.
In this case, however, it is a white British national. It doesn't seem to fit into the racist rhetoric that normally comes out of this administration, instead being a broader targeting of foreigners in general. (This of course not being the only case of Europeans facing problems)
Racism is a huge factor, but it seems the end goal goes further towards complete isolationism.
That just isn't true. It's not an ethnic cleansing. It is not 100% what anti immigration hate is about.
Fucking hell, I hadn't heard about this yet.
From what I am to understand it will be finally requiring the Real ID be implemented everywhere, and everyone needs to carry that, or a passport.
Papers please.
Yes, commissar
Catering to your idiotic voters is the reason.
