Hey, where are all those people saying citizens are untouchable? I have this vague recollection of dozens of comments saying this surely couldn't happen. Am I still overreacting? Just want to be sure...
Throw the entire chain of ice command in jail over it. Then let the citizen sue for false imprisonment.
ICE should never have been created. From the start, it was an unnecessary force created purely out of and to increase xenophobia.
and then they realized they could use it to arrest unionists and dissidents
And then they came for me
If ICE agents showed up to arrest you and refused to present a warrant would you be legally justified in shooting them?
Even if legally yes, good fucking luck living through it. If you're gonna do it, even legally, you better get them all and fucking disappear. At bare minimum, you're getting an unholy beating by any cop that gets their hands on you. Probably find an excuse to just shoot you.
Well when the choice is dying in a firefight with the gICEtapo or being tortured to death in an El Salvadoran prison...
Easy to say when you're not the American citizen that's considered the perpetual foreigner and surrounded by Gestapo.
I'm trans. How long until they decide my ID is fake and that means I'm here illegally and come to disappear me too?
I'd rather go down fighting than end up as a Guantanamo photo subject.
Better: just ignore them until they go away
At least he got a court hearing.
Yeah, the thing about foregoing due process for deportation is that part of that is ascertaining that the allegations about being an illegal immigrant are actually true. Otherwise you're just deporting any random person.
Otherwise you're just deporting any random person.
Or disappearing dissidents, Pinochet style.
Yeah, they're probably working their way up to that. The right already loves to "joke" about night helicopter flights.
Maybe after Tesla burns down, mobs will melt the ice
“Melt the ICE” has such a nice ring to it.
