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.
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.
Very shameful of the White House.
What the actual fuck
Disgusting. I fucking hate this country’s government.
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.
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.
With the way GOPs title people, I seriously doubt all of those accusations.
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.
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.
there’s a more recent and more accurate comp from germany who had a bad moustache inspired by charlie chaplan’s moustache. he, individually, is why no one wears their facial hair like that anymore
In many ways, absolutely. I was only referring to displaying impaled enemies on pikes along the roads as a deterrent.
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 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!
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.
I’m guessing what’s printed are the crimes they’re accused of rather than anything they’ve been convicted of.
So Trump’s picture should be up there.
Ironically, no. He’s actually been convicted of 34 felonies.
Yes, but he has been accused of child sexual assault. As you say, anyone can make an accusation and he has been accused.
It’s a complicated situation, lol, and I can see both sides of it.
As for that being “a taste of his own medicine”, I agree.
Ultimately, though, I feel putting a picture of an actual convicted felon alongside photos of people who are highly likely to be only accused of crimes sends the wrong message and gives them the implication of guilt.
Depends how you look at it, I guess lol.
Why not both? Put up posters of him with all/each of the allegations, and stamp CONVICTED across each of those. Since the immigrant ones don’t have the stamp, just like some of the Trump ones, the distinction is made.
That would be a very elegant solution.
I think my conscience could live with that. Even more so if we can stamp “UN-CONVICTED” on all the other ones.
It just says arrested so I’m wagering these guys were never given a trial, just deported to who the fuck knows where.
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.
Considering that they’re making completely unsupported allegations re: Abrego Garcia, I have no trust whatsoever that they did more than elementary school research into the crimes they’re attributing, and assume that nearly none of them are supported by court convictions.
I bet that if you nuke all our cities you’ll eliminate crime by a good 80%.
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”.
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”
