Oooooh my Gooooood.
The Center-Right Democrat was lying about his policies so Progressives would vote for him, then immediately quietly being exactly the same as every other Center-Right Democrat?

I'd never have guessed this completely shocking turn of events.

Reposting my reply from another topic.

Are you referring to this memorandum?: https://www.ice.gov/doclib/news/releases/2021/021821_civil-immigration-enforcement_interim-guidance.pdf



This was sent out by the current ICE director, Tae Johnson. It's temporary measures until the new DHS secretary issues new guidelines. He was just sworn in on the 2nd of this month and plans to to so within 90 days.

So, how does this get blamed on Biden, TC?

Is or isn't Joe Biden this Johnson fellow's boss, and does he or does he not hold the power to make a decision that would override this?

The previous director resigned before Biden was sworn in and Johnson replaced him. AFAIK, the DHS oversees ICE, and the current DHS secretary, Mayorkas, is the one who will provide guidance for the agency within 90 days.

Also, I'm curious about what specifically in the memorandum is a problem? I've heard people complaining that Biden hasn't abolished ICE yet (he never promised to). FTR, I'm all for significantly reforming it or limiting it. But, I'd love some answers to my question.

Sorry I thought your initial question was "how does this get blamed on Biden?", to which my response is to illustrate with a rhetorical question that Biden has the power to write policy instructing ICE how to enforce the law.
But more generally, your question is pretty absurd because why shouldn't Biden be blamed for things that government agencies do when he's president? Much the same as Trump should take the blame for things govt officials did when he was president.

The Biden admin has already introduced an immigration bill. What should Biden be doing differently here?

No... Biden is the head of the executive branch. For example, he appointed the current acting secretary of DHS. As such, he's responsible for the actions of the executive branch. Including this.

If he promised it, yes he should be held responsible for his promise even if a Trump appointed judge is the one who blocked the EO. If he wasnt sure he could get it through then he shouldnt have made the promise in the first place, seems pretty simple. But of course being the career politician he is, he will make lofty promises knowing full well he wont be able to deliver but also knowing he has easy excuses his defenders will eat up as to why he couldnt carry out his promise

How does a president overrule the judicial branch?

Furthermore, what, specifically, about this memorandum shows that things have gone "to shit"?

It doesn't matter, he's the face of the country, for better or worse. When things are written in the history books, they will be primarily be attributed to the current sitting president unless you dig deeper in your research.

EDIT: And i'm talking in a general sense of how these things work, i'm not referring to anything specific in this instance.

He does, just not immediate power. TC's premise on Joe seemingly enacting this is entirely false, though the blame lays with him if this is continued.

We're talking about two different things. The memorandum (1) and the EO to halt deportations (2). This post was about the EO.

So two questions regarding the former: Who do you think is responsible for the content in the memorandum? And what, specifically, is the problem with said content?

Yeah, I was never talking about the EO. I'm saying Biden is ultimately responsible for the content in the memo. I'm not saying he wrote it. I'm saying that as president, he's responsible. Whatever ICE do right now, Biden is responsible, that's how it works.

Okay so you think Biden is responsible. How about the second question? What, specifically, should he be blamed for here? What's wrong with the memo?

I literally have the memo in front of me. I appreciate your insistence that I read the memo personally before judging it, but I've done that. And I agree with the ACLU's statement. Is it wrong?

Can you only answer a question with a question? The ACLU statement is pretty clear. Specifically:
The interim enforcement priorities detailed today import the injustices of the criminal legal system and will lead to continued disproportionate deportations of Black and Brown immigrants. The priorities use sweeping and overbroad presumptions of threat that have for decades resulted in biased profiling and harmful immigration consequences for Black and Brown people, including Muslims. The priorities presume that all recent border crossers are threats, in total contravention of President Bidens commitment to ensuring that people seeking asylum are treated with dignity.
Is this incorrect in your opinion?

I've asked you repeatedly the same question and you refuse to answer it. Why should I do your homework for you? Just tell me one guideline from the memo that you disagree with.

FTR, I think ICE generally disproportionately targets POC and is overall a corrupt agency. That's why I'm glad the WH put forth the new immigration bill to expand citizenship opportunities. And I'm looking forward to what Mayorkas does and hope it's not gonna be shit.

Wtf is your problem? Do you need me to connect the dots for you? Like, why are you so insistent with making sure that I read the fucking memo? The second prioritzed group constitutes literally everyone who entered the country illegally after November 1st, which is what the quote from the ACLU is addressing, and I agree with the assessment from the quote. I'm not trying to convince you of anything, nor am I making any bigger point than "I agree with this", so why is it so important to you that I read the memo with my own two eyes?

Calm down. I asked you a question multiple times and you refused to answer. As to why it's important that you read it if you're going to criticize it... do you really need that explained to you?

Regarding that quote, crossing the border illegally is not equivalent to seeking asylum. There are ways to seek asylum, and none of them require an illegal border crossing.
