Students will watch their government kidnap their friends.

Then be expected to recite the pledge of allegiance. Before the school shooting drill.

Removing underage friends and family is a known pathway to creating terrorists.

Before the school shooting ~~drill~~.

Fixed that for you.

I accidentally read that as "pledge of obedience"

For anyone else like me who doesn't know what ICE is (I've been hearing a lot about it lately and I'm from Greece), turns out the name is rather misleading.

It stands for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

[-] Catoblepas 26 points 2 months ago

More context: in the US illegal immigration is considered a misdemeanor (like jaywalking), and ICE didn’t exist before 9/11.

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

It's fucked up that even such a thing as jaywalking exists. I know you wanted a comparable example, but it's quite dystopian.

Jaywalking likely exists because of lobbying from insurance companies. If someone gets into an accident avoiding or even hitting a pedestrian, it places the pedestrian at fault and makes the insurance companies non liable for paying out money to fix damages.

This action empowers the brave men and women in CBP and ICE to enforce our immigration laws and catch criminal aliens — including murders and rapists — who have illegally come into our country.

Their rhetoric is as repulsive as a bucket of vomit

They are blindly claiming these kids are murderers and rapists yet all the mass killings / school shootings are done by U.S. citizens.

It seems like they are projecting and one must discern that CBP and ICE must be full of murders and rapists then.

We need to deport all CBP and ICE workers for being murderous rapists immediately. This rampant filth is targeting children and innocent parents across our Great nation. ICE is eating the dogs! CBP is invading our homes, stealing their valuables! We need to put a stop to it. These organizations are under the order of a man known and convicted of sexual assault and blatant felony charges taking advantage of the companies and people of our beautiful country.

Arrest them all!

Are there any ICE raids in red states or cities? They can say they’d comply, even if they don’t get raided. Right wing virtue signaling. Why don’t we hear about ICE raids in beef or poultry plants in red states? Nope. There aren’t any.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

wtf, they’re okaying “ the brave men and women in CBP and ICE” to secretly interrogate children?

The school district I work for said, “ICE stays in the office, students can’t be interviewed without parental permission, they can’t enter the wider building or access records without a subpoena that has to be first emailed to and verified by the district attorney.” Luckily, I live in a red, meat packing and farming state, so they likely won’t bother us…first.
