Thank you, I hadn’t come across this news story yet! Believe it or not, I just double checked and it’s not in my Apple News feed at all.
It sounds like there was a language barrier and he misidentified himself as being in the country illegally. That’s very unfortunate that he was detained for that misunderstanding.
You missed one of the biggest news stories that has been running for months across every available medium (television, radio, internet, even here on HN)?
You want to shed some light on how that's possible, especially in the context of you commenting on this thread?
I usually get my left leaning news stories from Apple News and my right leaning news from the Daily Wire. I didn’t see this story on any of my usual sources.
Oh, it's a good deal worse than that. The NSF actually has a statutory mandate to ask for those Broader Impact sections; Congress would have to pass a law to stop it. So now the people applying for grants need to include, by law, a section that, by policy, will get the grant application returned for editing and "mitigation", while the Administration is also ordering, again without Congressional authority, that one out of every two dollars spent at the NSF be cut.
The NSF doesn't even cost that much money to run. They're doing this counterproductively and, as far as I can tell, for no good reason at all.
> while the Administration is also ordering, again without Congressional authority
Trump is doing a lot of illegal things. Like, A LOT of illegal things, but if you read the article they specifically said that Trump officials said they were only going to ask for Congress for 55% of the current budget in the next years budget cycle so they are actually doing this one correctly.
>What, exactly, do you think the left has been doing for the last ~10 years?
Which single person is "the Left" here? You're basically proposing establishing a personalist dictatorship to combat a bureaucratic para-party. Your solution to authoritarianism is intensified authoritarianism.
> Well the tarrifs do very much show that Trump has no "default preference" for the capitalised class -- he's very willing to wreck the american stock market.
Yes, Marxist-Leninist governments also wreck their local stock markets. That doesn't mean they, or Trump, are engaged in building a superior economic system for prioritizing labor over capital.
The thinking was, "international students pay the most, contribute the most in tuition payments to the university budget, and therefore by cutting them off we hurt our enemies' budgets."
Something very wrong with sending deportation notices or trying to sic immigration enforcement on American citizens.
