Who needs food inspections?

Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by cococandy(f): 12:18am On Apr 18, 2025
The cops were supposedly confused about his citizenship status because he spoke a different language and of course the unspoken fact that he’s not white.

When he campaigned on sweeping immigration arrests, we said “how will they immediately decide whom to arrest”? Wouldn’t that be open invitation for racial profiling?

Mumu supporters said we were playing victim
A U.S.-born American citizen was being detained at the request of immigration authorities Thursday despite an advocate showing his U.S. birth certificate in court and a county judge finding no reason for him to be considered an “illegal alien” who illegally entered Florida.

Juan Carlos Gomez-Lopez, 20, was arrested Thursday evening by Florida Highway Patrol and charged under a state immigration law that has been temporarily blocked since early this month. Details of Gomez-Lopez’s arrest and detention were first reported by the Florida Phoenix news site.

After inspecting his birth certificate, Leon County Judge LaShawn Riggans said during the hearing that “this is indeed an authentic document,” but that she did not have jurisdiction beyond finding no probable cause for the charge.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s role is to enforce immigration laws that generally apply to noncitizens. American citizens are protected under the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution from unreasonable search and seizure, arrest and detention.

Nonetheless, he remains detained locally at ICE’s request, said Thomas Kennedy, a spokesperson at the Florida Immigrant Coalition who attended Thursday’s hearing.

“Everything tracks for him being sent to an ICE detention center,” he told NBC News in a phone interview.

Doesn’t matter who gets killed. Even if all American children were to die in one day. Like in the millions, republicans will NEVER vote for gun reform measures. They always all vote unanimously against gun control reforms. Sandy hook was the test. It will never happen. Not when they’re more beholden to the NRA than the vulnerable population.

Then they want to convince people with a brain that they care about American women and children. Fool me once.

On the food inspection matter, I think the state and local authorities could do an effective job in inspecting produce. For instance, a state like CA should have the resources to engage in statewide food inspections, without federal assistance

Honestly, stuff like this I'd rather have one Fed. agency control it. If they choose they can contract some of it out to the states. I want to be comfortable going to any state knowing the standard is consistent.

Plus, given everything we've already seend I don't trust this Trump asmin to do it right.

Reagan Appointee Harvie Wilkinson

“The government asserts that Abrego Garcia is a terrorist and member of MS-13. Perhaps, but perhaps not. Regardless, he is still entitled to due process. If the government is is confident of its position, it should be assured that position will prevail in proceedings to terminate the withholding of removal order. Moreover, the government has conceded that Abrego Garcia was wrongly or ‘mistakenly’ deported. Why then should it not make what was wrong, right?” Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson wrote Thursday.
..
“It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody that there is nothing that can be done. This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear,” Wilkinson wrote.

Wilkinson is an appointee of President Ronald Reagan.

Exactly what everyone has been screaming about in re: to Garcia.
Now we have citizens being swept up and held even after proving they are citizens.
What right would ICE have to even hold them after that and why would the judge acquiesce?

Just illegality after illegality.

It’s more or less testing the waters. Catch and release. Catch and release.

While their republican doofuses try to excuse their actions by saying “see he’s been released”. Then gradually everyone will start getting used to American citizens who look a certain way being arrested as long as they eventually get released.

Until it’s not news anymore and then people stop talking about it. That’s when people will get disappeared and no one will even know or make fuss about it. People who don’t have deductive reasoning irk me. I’m gonna need us to have more sense and pattern recognition abilities.

Yep, international trips to the USA are down this first quarter. 70% less from Canada alone. Europe about 30% less. If this goes on it will keep dwindling. No one would risk coming to America is they can be disappeared on a technical error and the president goes “welp nothing I can do about that”.

CA is not the only state in USA. Many states can't afford it, and repeating inspections state by state costs a lot more.

Good thing though is it gives us here in UK more reason to refuse to allow dodgy food imports from USA.

Definitely trying to normalize it.

True for California, New York, Texas (maybe), and other big states. But those other states that are often in the red and have been consistently subsidized by us will fall behind.

And unfortunately, diseases do not understand state lines. If some food borne communicable diseases like norovirus or typhus breaks out in one of their poorly run states, it will get to us even if our food quality is top notch. All it takes is for someone to attend a work conference in another state, eat a salad for lunch and bring back a trail of gut pathogens from the airplanes to the public transport and back to us. 🥲

Also some of those food plants ship nationwide. There’s no additional stop for inspection when they get to their destination. We have to rely on whatever inspection they did at their home location. God save us if they did a shoddy job.

They posted threatening messages on the Uscis website.
I just logged in to check on an application I’m working on for someone.

Why post those subtly threatening messages on a website that people are supposed to use for legal immigration? If what you’re against is illegal immigration?

Oh okay. I agree with your points.

At least from a cost-perspective for businesses, having double inspections would be costly

it’s nothing bad actually. its more so just grand standing trumpian verbiage.

Paraphrasing “self deport if you’re illegal or there will be consequences”

As if Uscis carters to illegal immigration. Why post those kinds of messages on the website instead of the border where the illegal immigration is happening?

Basically if you are here seeking asylum and you go to Uscis to legalize your stay, you might feel targeted by such subtle threats. They forget people have to actually be here first before applying for asylum.

And then there are pictures of wanted immigrants on the website. I don’t believe I’ve seen that before.

Last I checked Uscis was not Interpol grin

IjeBos when you click on that link that says “worst of the worst illegals” some of them are accused of violent crimes like assault and manslaughter. That’s all I was expecting to see.

But then there are random people with crimes like:
Removal
Immigration Violations
Harboring aliens

So basically if you overstayed your visa which is a violation, you’re the worst of the worst. Straight to El Salvador

Or if you harbor someone whose visa is expired, you’re also part of the worst of the worst. Straight to El Salvador too.

Like what sense does it make to group people who committed civil offenses together with murderers & aggravated assault offenders?

There’s no rhyme or reason.

Stacy Abrams bought efficient electrical appliances for some community that helped reduce power bills. Claimed that this reduced carbon footprint. So far so good

Biden admin is influenced to include $27B to fund green energy initiatives under the Infrastructure Act .
Stacey Abrams newly launched outfit secures $2B to buy people new and more efficient domestic appliances . Just before the election. Appliances that reduce bills would be freezers,ACs , fans etc. (Didnt think govt should buy the "richest people" on earth such stuff)

When her name came up the liberal media led by politifact downplay her role in the Green Energy scam.

Paul Sperry investigation has determined she was heavily involved in the funding.

If Hitler reincarnated and said he hates Trump , democrats would grant him a visa.
Garcia the El Salvadorian already is a proven wife beater. His visa application should he be released would be denied outright. In any case Bukele's jail does not plan to ever release members of those jailed gang members to the society.
3 judge bench of DC Fourth Circuit appeals court composed of Reagan,Obama and Clinton judges have denied Trump's motion to block the return of Garcia. Maybe they can order Delta and Seal Team 6 to forcibly rescue Garcia from the jail, because Bukele is not "releasing a terrorist '.
The US senator who went to Salvador got a chance to sip margaritas with Garcia. He never voted for Riley Laken Act nor has he commented on the recent killing of a citizen by an El Salvador illegal.The media was claiming he is being tortured,shaven etc. President says he is fine,he stays in El Salvador.

Letitia James .Complain to the bar association questioning her fitness to hold a law licence

Steve McLaughlin
@SteveMcNY
Today, following allegations of mortgage fraud against her, I have sent a letter seeking disciplinary proceedings to determine whether Letitia James is fit to hold a law license in this state.
I believe she is not and her license should be revoked.


They disbarred Giuliani for questioning election results.

She ran the mortgage financing fraud for over a decade,refinancing claiming her residence is a 4 unit dwelling whole it is a 5 unit She wouldn't have gotten the loans if it was a 5 unit dwelling.

Trump case should be thrown out.Was prosecuted and investigated by someone unfit to hold office.
