Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

I’m not sure that’s how military bases work.
It is. Unauthorized personnel and those who pose a risk to national security, normal military operations, or privacy can be denied access.
They have every legal right to deny access to civilian ICE.
From what I understand from my idiot friends from high school who racked up duis, every military base is also a dui checkpoint and they won't hesitate to bust your ass.
Maybe this is a gold thing for ICE to use, you know they're all blowing 1.6 at least
Maybe Hegseth will show up in person, then they'll bust him too.
Who is “They”? Every single member of the military? The officers? The base commander? The family members that live on the base?
Problem is, the military as a whole is in support of whatever the administration says. So nobody on the base will have the right or capability of arresting anybody from ICE.
Nothing is accomplished by such daydreams. It's been in the news that Secretary of Defense Hegseth has approved this atrocity, so these won't be "unauthorized personnel."
