      Wall Street Journal is owned by the same people as Fox News. It’s another arm of the propaganda, just aimed at smarter victims. There’s plenty of true stuff in there, but they’re definitely not the good guys.

      Reader bypasses it.

      The incoming Trump administration is planning a large-scale immigration raid in Chicago next week, according to four people familiar with the planning, the first move in President-Elect Donald Trump’s promised mass deportation campaign.

      The raid is expected to begin on Tuesday morning, a day after Trump is inaugurated, and will last all week, the people said. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will send between 100 and 200 officers to carry out the operation.

      Bit odd to announce where it is. Don’t go to work next week if you’re in Chicago I guess.

        I actually think this makes sense - it’s a way to normalize it.

        Like his awful cabinet picks, Trump’s team leaks this information, everyone is immediately upset, but by Tuesday it’ll be, “as expected, Trump carried out raids in Chicago.” Additionally, those he is targeting have a chance to hide, thereby avoiding combining the news of the raids with visceral shocking imagery in reporting. This raid will be more for show, but things will get worse in steps, as we get used it each level of barbarity.

        If I’m right, that’s why they released it on a Friday night.

        Thank you. I tried using archive extensions with no luck, just got blocked repeatedly. Maybe I’m using it wrong.

        Is that the entire article though or is there more?

          They’re doing some weird things right now I think. I was posting a big paragraph about peak oil on slrpnk.net a couple hours ago and that’s when slrpnk went down. Maybe I’m just paranoid.
