Judge only “granted a temporary injunction” not made a final ruling.
Also it’s pointless.
The temporary injunction is intended to last until the lawsuit is decided. But under Texas law, a ruling is automatically stayed as soon as it is appealed.
Exactly, how are airlines and landlords the two service industries that get a complete pass at treating customers like we're lucky they let us give them our money. (And utilities, ISPs... I'm gonna need a bigger list aren't I?)
Seriously, i was just on a plane that was stuck on the tarmac for around 20 minutes and the plane was super hot (thanks Phoenix) and I thought I was going to freak out at some point. Also made me realize I should really have a bottle of water with me on every flight
I like flying, especially when nothing goes wrong.
We tend to take things for granted. Could the service be better? You bet. But what’s the alternative to go from, say, Japan to Argentina? Weeks, months?
Aren’t we tired yet of “record” temperatures? How long we gonna play this game? Whenevery month is hotter then the last one? This isn’t temporary. Sheesh.
American are just as bad. A similar thing happened to my wife last month.
She and a bunch of other passengers missed their connecting flights due to the airline’s incompetence. She stood in line for four hours, without food or water, to wait her turn for American to get her on another flight but as she neared the end of the line the staff closed up their desks and said “sorry folks, come back tomorrow” and walked off, leaving her and about 50 other people to basically sleep on the floor and wait for them to re-open five hours later.
No mention of finding them a place to stay, nor providing even a bite to eat. Zip. Nada.
While it’s not quite as bad as what these poor people went through, it’s the same “not my problem; sucks to be you” energy from the airline.
I believe the Department of Transportation actually has fairly strict regulations about this. Report the incident to them; they may be able to point you in the right direction for seeking recourse, even if they don’t get directly involved.
Sorry a kid died because their parents were ‘breaking the law’ How did a kid manage to make it to the border Nobody accused Abbott of being a good person Death traps. Roll a DC 15 constitution save.
Remember when there was a time that the president of the United States characterized the place we live as, “a shining beacon on a hill” and “bring us your tired, your weary, your broken masses” (sic) …
The USA, despite your opinion, remains one of the most wealthy, prominent, and aspirational places to be (or arguably has ever existed) … you can choose one of two paths …
You can feel empathy for those that suffer and try to find a way by any means or you can say fuck 'em.
Choose empathy. We need a more effective, rational border policy. I’m not all rainbows and sunshine. One thing that needs to happen is an amendment to the constitution. Just because you’re here and pump babies out doesn’t make xyz a citizen. That is a supremely archaic provision of the constitution that needs amendment. It’s no small part as to why some people risk their lives just to get here.
Ultimately people want to improve their station in life and we should not begrudge them for doing so. Improving one’s station is what we all wish for. We need to put pressure on our politicians to do things to IMPROVE the situation because the status quo is not only immoral but impractical.
I hate to tell you this. But has always been this way in the us. It used to be that the USA has a quota amount that we would except in the us. That’s one of the main reasons that you sure turned away from New York. Cuz I would have to increase the quote on the West Coast
You’re right but we also didn’t go drown them in the Hudson. The southern border can be a savage place. I’ll never forget stepping out of the car during a cross-country trip and immediately losing my breath due to the heat.
I’m not disagreeing with you at all just pointing out that this attitude isn’t out of the norm for the USA. I will state this next sentence kinda the same pattern with US the bullshit at the border we just didn’t kill people. But is True for most of the time in the us history. The USA would just send the the people back on the boat that came in one. But in the late 1930 and early 1940 we sent many jews back to Germany to be gassed, starved, and worked to death. Did US pull the trigger no. But did the US doom them I would say yes but at that time wasn’t known what would happen when her were returned. That being said just pick up the people and send them back across the border it isn’t that hard. Does it cost money yes but damnit I don’t think traps need to be laid to kill people.
This is such a fluff piece. They’re trying to get everyone riled up by inaccurately linking this to the sales scandal. This is run of the mill new account fraud with synthetic identity and every bank struggles with this every single day. Not even journalism tbh.
Illegal immigration violates civil code, not criminal code. You’re saying people deserve to die for doing the same level of crime as speeding or littering.
I hate that they have the best cash back credit card right now according to nerdwallet. I want to get a new credit card as a backup but I really want to avoid wells fargo.
We don’t have to. It’s pretty obvious a child a few countries away from home dying at the border between countries was trying to cross illegally. They didn’t just get lost on the way home from school.
The borders between states is nowhere near the same as the border is between sovereign nations. We do have the right to travel. It’s not just a meme from sovereign citizens. And as far as I’m aware, he was not charged with a crime for having a firearm. He was legally allowed to carry it.
(B)threatens to assault, kidnap, or murder, a United States official, a United States judge, a Federal law enforcement officer, or an official whose killing would be a crime under such section,

(4)A threat made in violation of this section shall be punished by a fine under this title or imprisonment for a term of not more than 10 years, or both, except that imprisonment for a threatened assault shall not exceed 6 years.
Like, that's textbook. Also if this threat is taken seriously by other members in the trial, this could easily extend into witness tampering, jury intimidation.
