  • Okay, what is happening to him is a humanitarian crisis, but they arrested him for driving without a license, not because he missed a turn signal.

    What ICE is doing is abhorrent. We don’t need to exaggerating and/or lie to make horrifying headlines marginally worse.

    Edit - Jesus christ, you all have some real issues with connotation, huh? Yes, he was pulled over for a turn signal, which set off the chain of events, but the intention of the headline is to connect the mostly innoculous act of forgetting to signal to the resulting deportation, when that is blatantly not the case. All the “UMMM, ACKSHUALLY, THIS REALLY DID HAPPEN” completely misses the point here.

    Fuck me for refusing to just let it slide when media uses intentionally misleading titles to invoke extreme reactions for engagement, I guess.
