This was flagged in the last minute or two, I refreshed the page and it changed to flagged. Ridiculous.

I am concerned flag is being abused by State run actors.

“ Unavailable Due to the UK Online Safety Act”

This story is unavailable due to the online safety act? On what grounds? I mean, we all knew it would turn into censorship, but that was fast.

Even weirder is that I’m currently in France, not the UK.

I assume this was meant to link directly to https://aphyr.com/posts/397-i-want-you-to-understand-chicago, which is currently the most recent item in the /posts category

It got flagged, but this is happening and isn’t being talked about because it isn’t happening to people who have influence.

This submission is flagged too. Who is flagging these, and why?

It's very clearly against the guidelines, that's why

Stephen Miller is smoking at a gas station.
I hope non-violent legal or political methods of killing these raids are successful. More likely, at some point, Trump just makes some bullshit "we got them" victory proclamation and it ends.
But people are not going to tolerate this for long.

It's really hard to understand Chicago from this article, if you dont know all the referenced incidents already. Who are the kidnappers? Why are agents chasing a teacher? And so on...

Immigration enforcement agents suddenly aren't required to show any sort of ID, reveal their faces, or produce any documentation about instances when they enforce immigration law, so "Who are the kidnappers" is actually a pretty good question.

I guess that's a reason to call the cops and report an abduction. Sorry, I'm a stupid European, that how we would handle such a situation.

as a european then you really should know since a lot of us had dictatorships and secret police. the gestapo wasnt that long ago and most european communist states had the same issues good luck calling the police

I hate to invoke the comparison, and not to diminish the Holocaust at all, but to give you a better idea of what's happening in the US right now: what's happening could be compared to the Gestapo rounding up the Jews.
Innocent people are being rounded up by a faceless secret police, violently, in a terrorising manner, and taken to detention centres, with their human rights abused at every stage, with no due process and their fate unknown. This is beyond reporting to the local police department.

It's all the same people. If you really don't know, a few of the incidents are here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c6299nrj76yo

I suspected that it's about immigration agents. But it's just really funny how the article claims to explain the issues, without actually explaining it.
Why do they use weapons extensively? Are they chasing violent people who shot at them earlier, or just for fun? It just raises more questions, and doesn't help understanding the situation at all.

This is what happens when city govt prefers illegal slaves for labor to deprive the working class of fair wages in violation of federal law.

Have some courage and post under your normal account. Throw-aways don't help build community.

Care to cite a reputable source?
With an account created just before this comment, I’d assume this is just low-effort trolling.
Link should be https://aphyr.com/posts/397-i-want-you-to-understand-chicago
