In the video of the incident, which the family said occurred on Tuesday, the mother can be heard demanding her daughter's return.

"They took my daughter, she's 5 years old. She has autism spectrum," the woman says in the video. "Give me my daughter back."

The mother also explained that her daughter's father "managed to run back into the parking lot of my house, but they grabbed the girl."

The family said ICE agents challenged Edward Hip, a Guatemalan man who has lived in the United States for 22 years, to leave his home for his daughter.

"Is that your daughter? Come here so I can see those IDs," an agent can be heard saying in the video, which shows him motioning toward the camera.

"Hey, I can give it through the door," a man is heard saying in response.

"You can do it right here," the agent says, pointing to the ground in front of himself.

The mother reported alleged harassment by the officers.

"They threatened us, saying that if we didn't open the door within 15 minutes, they would enter the house," she told Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra.

Leominster police arrived at the scene, recovered the child and returned her to the family.

Leominster police arrived at the scene, recovered the child and returned her to the family.

I mean, as long as you're exceeding my very low expectations for local cops confronting fascists, how about arresting and criminally charging these would-be kidnappers?

would-be kidnappers

They did take the girl hostage, they just didn't take her very far.

Kidnapping requires a change of location, IIRC.

false imprisonment doesn't

and i will add that ICE does seem to be comfortable trading in the flesh of children.

[-] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

Sure, totally. I’m just saying “would-be kidnappers” is accurate. They’re not “kidnappers” until they take her somewhere else.

To be fair kidnappings is kind of half their job.

This is fucking nauseating. What piggish scum are these. Fucking fat dipshit Nazi cocksuckers who love guzzling Trump cum. Jesus fucking Christ.

Edit: It takes some kind of man to use a five year old in this way. Of all the stories coming out so far, this one is especially sick. These people should be prosecuted immediately.

They need to know what families being on the menu feels like.

No, they’re still men. There’s a justice system for a reason. It separates us from animals.

[-] smh@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm just giving to drop this link here. (Because it's interesting, not because Nazis lack agency)

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 50 points 2 weeks ago

All those super tough guys that valiantly captured a five year old neurodivergent girl, and yet not a single one of them can see their tiny dicks under their sloppy gunts. Sad. The American gestapo won't be doing stairs.
