Trump staff puts immigrants' mug shots on White House lawn
Trump staff puts immigrants' mug shots on White House lawn
Driving the news: The posters — which read "ARRESTED" — specify various crimes linked to the pictured immigrants and have the White House's official logo at the bottom.
-The "roughly 100" posters were being placed strategically along "Pebble Beach," where TV news crews do live shots in front of the mansion. A White House official told Axios the intent is for the posters to be visible behind TV journalists reporting from those positions.
-Posters positioned near the West Wing claim to show unauthorized immigrants arrested for "first-degree murder," "sexual abuse of a child," "kidnapping and rape," "murder," "rape of a child," and "distribution of fentanyl."
-Others claim to show people charged with "sexual assault of minors," "sexual contact with a child," and "lewd acts in front of a child."
-The posters describe the arrestees as "illegal aliens." Their names and precise legal statuses aren't included.
This is not a good sign.
If you're trying to get people to hate and fear people of color I guess you need to show them what color of people to hate?
This has "Mommy Mommy look at my report card" energy all over it.
Disgusting and vile people who try to justify hating those of color with lawn sized fascist trading cards.
We should figure out what company printed all of these and boycott them back to the printing press age.
Exactly. He’s like a modern day Vlad the Impaler.
Vlad was unique with the impalements but wasn't out of pocket according to the day. He was slandered by a rival.
This is not a good sign.
I'd say it's about 100 bad signs.
I would not be surprised if in a month it turns out a bunch of those don't match with the crimes
Not only that, but I'm guessing what's printed are the crimes they're accused of rather than anything they've been convicted of.
Anyone can accuse anyone of anything at any time. That's why courts exist.
It just says arrested so I'm wagering these guys were never given a trial, just deported to who the fuck knows where.
Definitely. There is no more due process in the US
I'm not sure why people keep being surprised by this recently. All of the recent events over the last month tell us there's no more due process
We just found out ICE can come into anybody's home without a warrant, and send them to concentration camps that we pay millions for...
The Nazis are here. We are Nazi Germany right now, for people to ask or be confused on why they are evil or what their motive is, their motive is just evil That's it. And it has to be stopped before it's too late
Or it’s just random people.
Wouldn't be surprised if they were AI generated.
Not only that, but I bet there are a bunch of people here who really are US citizens, and a bunch more who are either here legally, or were until the President canceled their visas just for this stunt.
They sound like an ai was told to generate 100 different horrable crimes.
Do we know if the same crime text is used twice? It’s weird to talk about minor in one and child in the other.
Whats the legal difference between sexual abuse and sexual contact?
This is all obvious theater and many of these are just pics of these people. No way to tell if they've actually been arrested before or if it's just random security footage, but the text differences might be that different states have different terminology. What classifies as rape or molestation or contact or anything else can differ from place to place. It might still be AI, but it's not unusual for the same crime to have different names depending on where it was committed.
I would not be surprised that the images are ai generated, since there's no information on the individuals to look them up and fact check.
At least it reflects what's inside.
You ever drive past "that house"? You know the one I mean; every neighborhood has one. The one that always has a yard full of signs, banners, flags, etc? The house equivalent of a car covered in bumper stickers, all collectively saying "Stay Away: Crazy Inside"
Anyone who's an actual adult knows that this is not how adults behave.
Now imagine the entire fucking building being full of adults that don't know how to behave like adults. Calling the shots for the most powerful, influential nation on the planet.
Because that's our reality now.
Now do ones with PARDONED across the top
Someone should put up Trump's picture and all of his crimes with the heading "AT LARGE".
This looks a bit like doxxing to me
There was an attempt at a lawsuit, it was pretty public.
There’s doubts/some connection to weird TV stunts, but it just seems congruous with the stories about him going into the girls rooms at Miss Teen America. What would it mean if what she was saying were true though?
Then you don't know what that word means.
This is their way of screaming at us "Why are you so mad that we're abducting children and sending American citizens to prison camps, when we've arrested like 10 whole pedophiles?!"
We’d prefer they arrest the one in the White House.
Epstein took that evidence to the grave. If only we knew what Trump whispered in his ear in that clip of him breaking down in tears of laughter. I bet it was the incriminating shred that was needed
Alleged pedophiles
The article is sparse of actual info, so I might be wrong, but these are just arrests. They might have gotten the wrong guys, or just made shit up.
Even if these guys are all pesos/rapists/etc its still a problem he's doing this. The rate of criminality is actuality lower in immigrant populations vs regular citizens so it paints a false picture. But its not even clear this is anything other than (baseless) accusations.
Trump: "for every sexual crime commited by one of our staff we arrested a guy, justice is done"
Quick, someone use that same templating and do Trumps 34x felonies. Plaster a bunch of them up in the same area where the ones on the WH lawn can be seen. Bet they'll get taken down real quick.
Some should quickly print a sign with the guy who sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll and put it there....
If we're doing felons it's weird that I don't see Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Roger Stone, Rick Gates, Allan Weisselberg, or President and convicted rapist Donald Trump.
WWMD The wealthy white man defense is a pretty air tight legal argument. Fits in nicely with the narcissist's prayer.
I didn't do it, but if I did it wasn't a big deal. And if it was, you deserved it.
This is not good, it's the modern day equivalent of parading people down the street so the public can throw rocks or cabbage at them.
That might still become a real thing considering where things are moving.
Not when we won't be able to afford wasting cabbage like that!
With the way GOPs title people, I seriously doubt all of those accusations.
Heads on pikes. That's where we're at. Medieval theocracy, here we come
What's next? Heads on spikes? Public crucifixions?
Trump's managed to, in his first 100 days, reach overall public disapproval for pretty much everything other than immigration, so you figure that he's gonna double down on this, since it's his only really winning topic of discussion right now.
The very fact that sexual abuse of a minor is being conflated with immigration shows how far we've fallen. This document from the National Institute of Justice shows that the data indicates illegal immigrants have a much lower crime rate than citizens. The issue isn't that they are immigrants, it's that they're criminals. They were presumably committing similar crimes (or at least capable of doing so in Mexico). I'm not any happier knowing that a pedophile is now in Mexico/El Salvador. I want justice and reform. We should always strive for justice and reform. These illegal immigrants aren't the only ones committing these crimes. As I said earlier: largely, it's legal citizens committing these crimes. We need to create a system of justice and reform. We need to be able to handle citizens and illegal immigrants.
Obviously this administration would prefer to take every criminal and push them outside of our borders. Like I said, I don't care if a crime is committed in or out of my borders. I want justice and reform. I want to live in a world where crimes like this are basically non-existent. And I want to live in a world where people with these issues don't become repeat offenders.
Conflating immigration with these types of crimes is just making it harder for us to address the real issues with our justice and reformation system (lack thereof). Not to mention, we are basically just wasting money and time focusing on illegal immigrant crime when the bigger issue is crime being committed by citizens. It's like we cut off our arm, but as the arm fell to the ground one of the fingernails broke. So, this administration is spending all of its efforts on fixing the broken fingernail - and failing to patch the profuse loss of blood coming from its shoulder.
Not even mug shots really. Just close ups of people who aren't white.
No names, no location, no information. Just "Murder" and a photo. It's less than a mug shot.
in a country of +300 million, it is easy to show a list of few dozen criminals of any social group
What the actual fuck
So can we print out all 1470 convicted and sentenced Jan 6th insurrectionist’s mug shots, each with actual names and crimes (for reference purposes. Don’t want anyone to think these are all fake) and a giant “PARDONED” stamp above them all?
Need like twenty signs with just trump in the same format: Fraud, Domestic Abuser, Rape, Bribery, etc.
Wow, that's tacky as shit. Trump has debased the office of POTUS more than anyone could imagine.
Somebody needs to put a picture of Trump in one of those posters and stick it on the lawn ...
Trump's making the White House as ugly as the people within it.
Disgusting. I fucking hate this country's government.
Someone needs to print these with all of his crimes and place them on the other side of the fence.
Thats pretty wild. so much hate and fear, its exhausting.
Next up for an addition to the White House lawn: An 89 Dodge Daytona on blocks that Trump is "totally going to get running again".
Sounds like Vlad the impalers strategy to stop investigating further
Can some concerned American do the same in the public area in front of the white House with "convicted" posters of trump and his staff? A week later change it to those who have been "pardoned" by trump... Than J6 who have committed crimes since being pardoned.
I bet that if you nuke all our cities you'll eliminate crime by a good 80%.
The nazis also kept meticulous records of their victims. This will be turned into a memorial one day.
