You'll fall for any BS posted on the internet. It was a bomb threat.

There have been reports and online speculation about a Southwest Airlines flight diverted to Nashville being used as a cover for an ICE operation, but this is not officially confirmed.
Here's what is known about the incident:
  • Flight Diverted due to Bomb Threat: A Southwest Airlines flight from New York LaGuardia (LGA) to Dallas Love Field (DAL), Flight WN2556, was indeed rerouted to Nashville International Airport (BNA) on June 2, 2025.
  • Tactical Team Boards Plane: Upon landing, heavily armed officers boarded the aircraft and arrested a male passenger.
  • Luggage Searched: The passenger's luggage was searched on board, and no explosives were found.
  • Reason for Diversion: Authorities stated the diversion was due to a bomb threat, allegedly phoned in by the detained passenger's spouse.
  • Speculation about ICE Involvement: While speculation online suggested the event was a cover for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation, no federal agency has confirmed or denied these claims.
  • Unusual Tactics: Some former airline employees and frequent travelers noted that the level of force used and the act of searching a passenger's bag on board were unusual and not standard procedure for law enforcement actions related to individuals who are not considered an active threat.

Marines just straight up helping ICE do raids now.

In just a few short months, Trump has eroded so many safeguards and his admin is a disaster, so as retaliation, we're probably gonna get a terrible D admin in 2028 who will be taking advantage of that erosion...and it's gonna be 4 years of you guys getting told to STFU because you didn't stand for what's right when it was your turn to show your principles.

The people buying expedited residency/citizenship would have to go through the same process and checks others do.

Still I respectfully disagree.
As for some of your other points, I'll be writing to my congressman to promote them . The immigration mess has to be fixed.

Why should character be the only factor? Why wouldn't financial capabilities and benefits/detriments to the country and taxbase be a factor? (Like it is in pretty much every Latin American country south of us? If I want more than a short tourist visit, I have to prove that I have independent financial means that will not take jobs from citizens or be a financial burden to the country.)

1. Do away with birthright citizenship as it currently exists. Requirement for BRC needs to be minimum of 1 parent being a citizen. Legal resident does not count.
2. Institute an amnesty program for those currently here. Allow them to register as a foreign worker, do BGC (conviction or criminal affiliation equals denial) which would allow permanent but conditional residency. They would have no path to citizenship and be barred from public welfare but children may attend school.
3. Expand guest worker program to encompass more industries like construction and streamline the application process. People on guest worker program have no path to citizenship and 1 criminal conviction or violation of GW terms equals permanent disqualification from the program.
4. Allow people to purchase residency with a path to citizenship, but the path would be longer than it currently is.
5. Allow people with a solid business plan to immigrate to start or move their business here which would allow a path to citizenship. Same as #4
6. Allow children of those mentioned in #2 who were born on US soil a path to citizenship in exchange for service in the military.
7. Allow children of those mentioned in #2 who were born on US soil the same path to citizenship as #s 4 & 5.

I'd include serving 8 years in the Military with a clean record.

I do not interpret that sequence of events as harshly as the Trump critics are treating it. When she said it I have no doubt she earnestly believed it and that it had been okayed far up the food chain. The issue is not that Trump is bashing her, he's just bristling at the seeming contradiction between his position now, and hers then. Its not personal against her, its just being irritated that he's being asked and so he is dismissive of her earlier comment.

I think it goes to show that he's still not reading his daily security briefs, or having any meaningful meetings with his DNI, or he wouldn't be so far out of the loop on the actual intelligence.

Facts from @grok

No, there was no Southwest Airlines flight diverted to Nashville for an ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raid.

On June 2, 2025, Southwest Airlines Flight 2556 from New York LaGuardia to Dallas Love Field was diverted to Nashville International Airport due to a bomb threat, not an ICE raid. The flight was grounded for nearly four hours while law enforcement, including tactical units, boarded the aircraft, detained a male passenger, and searched his luggage. The bomb threat was reportedly made by the passenger’s spouse and was later recanted, but authorities proceeded with a high-alert response.

No explosive device was found, and the flight continued to Dallas after the incident was resolved.
Social media claims, including a post by
@LaurenWitzkeDE
on X, suggested the diversion was for an ICE raid, but these were debunked by Southwest Airlines and other sources. Southwest’s spokesman, Lynn Lunsford, confirmed to NewsGuard that the diversion was to address a “possible security matter” and explicitly stated it was not an ICE raid. Local journalist Nick Beres (WTVF Newschannel 5) also reported the incident was due to a bomb threat, not immigration enforcement.

I am fine taking my lumps for this. No worries.

I even watched this thinking, "how could THIS happen?" But was too distracted to hear the BS meter sounding.
