No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Is it for PR reasons?

Is it because he didn't have tattoos?

Or is it because this administration want to make a show out of it?

Surely, they didn't just let him have a court hearing out of the kindness of their hearts. What is the administration's motive of even obeying the court orders to not deport Mr. Khalil (for now, at least)? Since they have been violating other court orders, why are they even following some court orders at all, while ignoring others?

This administration is so puzzling to me... ๐Ÿง

If I had to guess, it's probably because his family was able to lawyer up quickly (either because they could afford it, or knew someone who would work the case for free). Courts can't act here unless someone files a case over it. There might be other people with valid legal cases to challenge their detention, but if they can't get their hands on timely legal advice they're just screwed.

I think this is it. The court documents were filed literally hours after his arrest. Others were sent to a special prison in Louisiana within 24 hours of arrest that apparently doesn't need to follow normal laws and then deported not long after that. The government has been arguing that after someone is transferred to the Louisiana prison, normal court procedures don't apply, causing people's lawyers to be unable to stop deportation in time. Once someone is deported, the government has been arguing they can't do anything about getting them back.

This special prison in Louisiana that does not need to follow normal laws... Is it protected by normal laws?

Nah they have special laws for that

I think he had a green card so he was a legal permanent resident. The other people had visas.

[โ€“] softcat@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago

Abrego Garcia was a permanent resident though, so it becomes more confusing.

So, a US Person. Who has all the rights of a citizen sans voting and a few other specific things...

Not kind now till citizens end up this way

I wonder if they know what the hell they're doing. Or maybe they don't care or keep track, it's just "how much can we get away with this time".

This week will be telling, unless dates get pushed back again in both cases. I guess we see if rule of law is just openly gone now, without even the usual pretenses.

they know exactly what they're doing. They cause so much chaos at once that anyone who wants to fight back becomes too overwhelmed or spread too thin to do anything about it.

also since they're the bourgeoisie, they can get away with the most war crimey stuff cause the court ruled that you can't arrest sitting bourgeoisie people

Wasn't he arrested before these people? Also weren't these people specifically targeted for being Venezuelan or from/near EL Salvador?
