GitHub, Medium Remove Public ICE Employee Data Repository (obsceneworks.com)
owenferguson shares a report from Obscene Works: Medium.com and GitHub have today quashed the release of a set of data comprising of all the ICE employees who openly list themselves on LinkedIn.com. All the data released was gathered from publicly listed LinkedIn profiles. The data was assembled by Sam Lavigne of http://lav.io/ and was published as a repository on GitHub, and announced via an article on Medium.com.
Okay, I'll bite. The "article" doesn't even answer the question. What the heck is an ICE employee? A gas-powered employee?
Answer via Google: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Irony: Agile development has too much intertia to be abandoned now.
GitHub's decline started long before the Microsoft acquisition. When they forced out the founder and declared meritocracy, and by extension merit, unwelcome.
Venture capital turns everything it touches into evil shit. Not just evil, not just shitty - evil & shitty.
The monkey who managed to double our countries debt in 8 fu*king years!!
Sadly, you have no understanding of how the US government works. Spending is controlled by congress, not the president, and congress was controlled by Republicans for 6 out of those 8 years. In fact, despite all their ranting about "tax and spend Democrats", Republicans have controlled congress, and therefore controlled spending, for 20 out of the last 26 years.
Most of those are actually false (1,4,6) or at best distorted. This is not surprising as Breitbart is an awful source of any news and Steve Bannon basically helped dictate this immigration policy.
.61% of kids.
1. He's enforcing the most draconian option. They claim the kids are unaccompanied but by prosecuting the adults criminally instead of civilly -- they obviously have that right -- they can isolate both the parents and the kids. This is even happening to people trying to claim asylum at ports of entry.
2. Many do. The vast majority arrive with an adult. The trafickers posing as a family account for
3. Many, if not all, of these children have been apart from their parents for more than 20 days. Even a cursory google shows this is heinously out of context.
4. This is just unmitigated bullshit. It's child abuse (per pediatricians AND psychiatrists) and nothing DHS says has been independently verified. Either way being separated from family and put in a detention center is certainly not GOOD treatment
5. People are generally not jailed for misdemeanors. Children certainly aren't seized and they get preference in their bail hearing if they are the sole caregiver.
6. This is just unmitigated bullshit. He kept families together.
7. Ignoring the fact that DHS has started turning people away from ports of entry, yes they are actively being turned away and sometimes seized. This is, once again, easily findable via basic google. Some actual sources WITH SOURCES!

Even if you don't like NYT or NPR, there are other outlets that report it as well, even websites like Snopes and politifact. Basically that was a shit post for covering an awful practice and an even bigger shit post because it was so laughably bad and fake,.
You can't apply for asylum in your country of origin. You first have to enter US territory, which may be an embassy in a third country or the US proper. Valid immigration status is not a prerequisite for applying for asylum. You may apply for asylum to an immigration judge during removal proceedings.
