    What “illegal immigrants” in their right mind would be out partying at an after hours night club with everything going on? I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few, but 100? This reeks of steamed hams. 100 migrants localized entirely in this illegal nightclub, in this political climate? I would like to see the evidence

    If it’s illegal and all that, yes, they should be held to standard.

    But given the fact that this administration likes to slap the word “illegal” on anything they don’t like, was it really? Or is it a boy crying wolf again?

      Did you buy a Tesla? No? Congrats, you are part of the illegal boycott now. President said so.

        I didn’t buy a Tesla, no. Yet it is not illegal for me because he’s not my president and he has no legal power over me, even if I’m also indirectly affected by his policies. American defaultism is pretty cringe, imho.

        Did you buy one? Because if so you unironically contributed to the mess which allowed the richest man to buy his way into presidency.

        See? I can also reply nonsense and immature “gotcha” stuff that has nothing to do with what I originally said as well. 🥸

          I am agreeing with you here, for fuck’s sake.

          This administration likes to call all things it does not like illegal. Like not buying a Tesla.

          I agree i could have worded more clearly. But chill out, man.

            Apologies, and thank you for the clarity. I certainly can’t criticize anyone for verbal subtlety being misinterpreted, that’s for sure. Cheers.

    Everything that would normally get you a small infraction or fine, will now make you an illegal immigrant ready to be thrown into the concentration camps.

    Only the elite are allowed to live, the rest should remain silent, obedient and weak.

    There will be no more partying. No more unsanctioned laughter and joy.

    Colorado was one of the states that has been very actively fighting Trump’s goons. It’ll be interesting to see how this turns out.

      I just want to point out that Colorado Springs is the polar opposite of what people think of when they think of Colorado.

      Colorado Springs is a military-focused city being the home of the US Airforce Academy. It’s famous for its mega-churches and hosts the headquarters of the extreme right-wing group “Focus on the Family”. Their mayor recently said that people could report anyone they suspected of being an illegal immigrant and the city would investigate it.

      DEA has also been quite active recently, seems like more than one investigation is wrapping up.

      For example, the landlord of this property said he was really surprised the renters were doing after hours shenanigans, thier lease doesn’t even allow events with alcohol and this was thier last month, he is planninga renovation of the space. So the DEA knows all of this, of course, and raided the place on one of the last nights.

    /checks to see if it’s Colorado Springs

    Of course it is.

    Right wing AF. I don’t think many people have a clue how insanely god-squad right wing the USAF Academy is. It’s cult-like.

    Colorado springs, huh? Yeah they just needed to be brown there.

    Edit: it seems that place is actually changing since they recently elected an African immigrant mayor. I always only knew it as a right wing shithole.
