Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes.

I want every Democratic politician to be repeating this every chance they get, a modern day "Carthage must be destroyed." My greatest fear is that when this is done, and Democrats are eventually back in power, that they will fall back on the same suicidal tendencies that got us here in the first place. Obama came into power on the back of the criminal Bush administration, and his first act of office was to declare "it's time to move on," and to announce that no members of the prior regime would be prosecuted. And Biden did the same after the first Trump term. We need to be willing to hold people accountable. And we need to be talking about this now. We need to fully embrace the idea of prosecuting ICE agents for their crimes against humanity. We cannot declare it's time to move on and to let them get away with what they have done.

And no, "I'm just following orders" is not an excuse. Anyone who says that deserves to hang.

the nuremberg trials were a joke. only 22 people were tried and it was more of a political show to show to their own soldiers who fought hard that they were doing something about the nazis, while actually they abducted a lot of the scientists and made them work for themselves.

i wish there had been actually meaningful trials. but i guess the ruling class is never gonna punish itself.
