They came in illegally, did they not?
Not if they're asylum seekers.
ICE announced so. Our government:
Without any proof.
Is out government lying?
The Trump Administration has been proven to habitually and massively lie, so the answer is: oh yes, of course, "your" governement is lying. Only trolls and mentally challenged people believe them.

changes nothing as it relates to the violent criminals
What's discussed here is migrants being deported, not "violent criminals". There's no proof anywhere yet they are "violent criminals". You keep calling them "violent criminals" (because you're xeonopbohic), but that doesn't make it true.

Venezuela's interior minister, Diosdado Cabello, said on Friday, however, that none of the Venezuelans deported by the U.S. to El Salvador were members of the gang, which Washington has declared a terrorist group. Relatives and immigration advocates for some of the men have also denied any links.
To the surprise of absolutely nobody. But of course Trump otakus will claim this is all lies and these men are all bloodthirsty murderers and rapists, just because... they're immigrants.

Since the report's publication, "the situation has deteriorated further," and the outcome will likely be even worse, Tourism Economics president Adam Sacks said, citing "the effects of antipathy towards the U.S."
Yup. Everyone hates Trump and his dumb policies, so people are rightfully boycotting the US now. And it will just get worse as this administration slides further into fascism. The economic shortfall is going to be as big as it is well deserved.

Posted in: The Pentagon's DEI purge: Officials describe a scramble to remove and then restore online content See in context
Every day over the past few weeks, the Pentagon has faced questions from angry lawmakers, local leaders and citizens over the removal of military heroes and historic mentions from Defense Department websites and social media pages after it purged online content that promoted women or minorities.
In response, the department has scrambled to restore a handful of those posts as their removals have come to light. While the pages of some well-known veterans, including baseball and civil rights icon Jackie Robinson, are now back up on Pentagon websites, officials warn that many posts tagged for removal in error may be gone forever.
The incompetence of this administration really is staggering. What a bunch of clowns.

Major tech firms are pushing the administration of President Donald Trump to loosen rules on building artificial intelligence,
What could possibly go wrong? Absolutely everything.
"The AI future is not going to be won by hand-wringing about safety," Vice President JD Vance told world leaders at a recent AI summit in Paris.
These people are out of their mind. AI could literally bring about the end of the world and these morons think complete deregulation is a good idea.

I was assured they didn’t promote any brands.
Don't know who told you that, but you were wrong, as always. Presidents regularly promote domestic brands and industries, but they do it in an egalitarian fashion (hence several different brands of cars for Biden), and most importantly, they don't promote the companies of people who work in their administration. Which is a grift. You omitted that part again. Silly you.

"I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
So let me get this straight: in 2025, in America, if you try to violently overthrow the government, you get a presidential pardon, but if you burn a Tesla, you're considered a terrorist and get 20 years in jail.
....I guess that's what they meant by "making America great again"?

Posted in: How has Japan changed for the better since you have been here and how has it changed for the worse? See in context
I feel English as a commodity has lost rather than gained value over time, and you now have to have a deeper skillset than simply being an English speaker.
Which should be a good thing, shouldn't it? But seeing the amount of old salarymen or girls in their 20's still trying to train their English with me in various bars and izakayas round Tokyo, I think English as a commodity still has a lot of good years ahead of it.
As for how Japan got worse, or at least Tokyo, it's definitely in the tearing down of old neighbourhoods or stores to build... Yet another luxury brand shop. How many Louis Vuitton and Chanel does this city need?? Every new city project seems to be aimed at the Chinese 成り金, which is making the city a little bit more boring with every new building.
Also, the idol culture is out of control and is a cancer on the music, movie and entertainment industries.

Like I am going to take the BBC word on that, you are too, too funny.
The BBC is assuredly and by all standards a more serious source than the New York Post.
Also, if you had actually read the link, you would have found actual facts contradicting the made-up "300000 children" figure, which is not based on reality.
But Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, policy director at the American Immigration Council, a migrant advocacy group, told the BBC the figures are indicative of a bureaucratic "paperwork issue" rather than "anything nefarious".
"When you hear the phrase 'missing', you think that there is a child that someone is trying to find and can't," he said.
"That's not the case here. The government has not made any effort to find these children."
Many of the children, experts say, may well be at the addresses that are on file with the government, but were simply unable to make their court dates.
"That doesn't mean something bad happened to them," Mr Reichlin-Melnick said. "It means you missed a court hearing."
Do you understand any of this?
It is, it is the second most read center-right conservative news source.
The fact that dumb people read it is in no way indicative of it's validity as a news source. A lot of people also read News of the World and Breitbart.

No, I mean gang tattoos. So how many are you volunteering to take into your home, let us hear the number.
Nobody. Because nobody is advocating for keeping illegal gang members in the country. What people are advocating for is to make sure people are actually gang members (and not, for example, soccer coaches) before they get deported. Can you comprehend this?

No Democrat made any mention of it until the right started asking,
There was a bipartisan immigration bill ready to be passed last year. Trump killed it because he didn't want to "give Biden a win". Trump doesn't care about immigration at all. It's just a con to get dumb people to vote for him.
