no more fucking secret police, contempt the whole organization
ICE alleges that Martell-Lebron is really named Juan Carlos Baez and is originally from the Dominican Republic.
Yeah, that's almost definitely a lie.
He allegedly entered the U.S. illegally in 2000, ICE said.
And even if it wasn't, he's been in the country for a quarter of a century without causing any trouble beyond allegedly lying on application.
If those standards were applied to native born Americans, Washington would be a ghost town.
From the article:
Martell-Lebron was found guilty of two counts of trafficking cocaine and one count of trafficking heroin in Middlesex Superior Court in 2009, court documents show. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison after already serving a little less than two years while awaiting trial.
He got out in ~~2000~~ 2020. So "a decade of not causing any trouble" is technically true, but only because he was already in prison.
*century, not decade, presumably
Thanks, fixed it 😁
I wonder how long it will be until one of these supposed "plainclothes agents" is shot. Part of the reason that cops wear uniforms is that it make it clear to the public that when they're grabbing someone off the street it isn't a kidnapping.
Tbf, they can still be in uniform and it can be a kidnapping.
Qualified immunity notwithstanding.
They might get away with it in a low firearm state like NY, but if they're in Florida, and a bunch of guys try to drag away a screaming woman, they might find themselves catching bullets.
Makes me wonder how many of these kidmappings have happened in red states.
If it wasn't already abundantly clear, the current administration gives zero fucks about the judiciary.
After dismissing the jurors, Summerville also permanently dismissed the Suffolk County District Attorney’s case against Martell-Lebron due to prosecutorial misconduct.
Good.
I'm gonna guess the "suspect" was just trying to get by for his family, as most "illegals" are really doing. Just trying to get by.
And after they've deported so many people who've come to the country to work hard and pay the taxes that American billionaires aren't, when employers can't find anyone to fill jobs, they'll just spin up the lie of young people not wanting to work, rather than recognize the contributions of hardworking immigrants to American society.
young people not wanting to work,
Some of the lowest unemployment numbers in US History, but young people still "don't want to work".
"Young people not wanting to work minimum wage jobs that don't pay enough for basic necessities" is probably more apt.
Which goes back to high participation.
I'm forced to question whether the fixation on AI and naked attempted art crashing the economy are explicitly intended to force more people down into unskilled service and agriculture jobs.
Yes.
Video of the abduction. Good on the people of Boston for shouting them down in the street. Looks like some ICE goons without masks this time.
The coopting of Norse culture is sad and fucked up, ~~but I'd bet dollars to donuts home dude in the pagan hoodie is an all out white supremacist.~~
Lock. His. Fucking. Ass. Up.
Let’s see how am ICE agent fares in gen pop.
James Borghesani, a spokesperson for the Suffolk County DA, said in a statement that they were “dismayed and surprised” when Martell-Lebron was detained. He said their office asked ICE to return Martell-Lebron.
I'm sure they'll drop him right back off at the courthouse if all the kindhearted prosecutors do is ask nicely. /s
Judge Mark Summerville should be awarded the Medal of Honor.
(I know it's specifically for military members but in this case there should be an exemption.)
Just rename ICE to SA at this point.
