According to the original article, he was here legally waiting until their court date in 2027 to see a judge. He is not a US citizen, but he also is not an “illegal alien.”

No alleged history of crime. No crime in process when detained. Was following the immigration process.

If anyone wants to argue with you about others who have been detained and deported as being “criminals” or “illegals,” this should be evidence to the fact that it isn’t true and ICE doesn’t care. We’re in the slippery slope now.

Are American law enforcement just reading Nazi history and emulating it at this point?

"Oh yeah, they did this in 1942 so we should do that too!! ... Kristallnacht? ... oh yeah, we gotta do that one too! ... and book burnings and maybe a giant parade or a mass rally with flags and shit"

Forcibly remove first, ask questions later is going to soon end up kidnapping random people out of the country...

Conservative excuses and goalposts will adapt as we go along:

  • but look, he was supposed to be deported anyway (Abrego Garcia)
  • doesn't matter that he has a valid asylum case, he came here illegally so he should be kicked out (Gutiérrez)
  • If you don't want to support America, you shouldn't have a green card (Mahdawi)
  • he looks like he came from out of the country and he helps illegal migrants anyway, too bad he's a US citizen
  • these were people spewing violent rhetoric about Trump and America, take them out of the country if they don't want to be here
  • hey wait, this is a mistake!? (future kidnapped Conservative)
[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago

“Soon end up” … my dude, it 100% already is. This article is exactly that. A random kidnapping and booting.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago

It's already resulting in them kidnapping random people out of the country.

Lol, the "fairness meter" says unfair left leaning. The article is literally just stating what occurred. ❄️

Facts have a liberal bias.

If you didn't vote it doesn't show the result.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So it just defaults to unfair left?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Not really. There is no default value and the UI renders the initial needle state as being off the chart.

Click the unfair left and see what happens (it does not automatically submit your vote).

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah it's not the greatest UI. It's in its "resting" state like in a car, but it makes it look like it's so far left it's off the charts. They should just not have the needle until you vote.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago

Got it. Thanks for the info! That is a little misleading how they have it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What's the "fairness meter"?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

it's a meter that says it's only fair if you criticize the party that wants you to have some healthcare and the party that wants to blackbag random people to send them to torture prisons equally.

I wonder how long until someone in Trump’s circle suggests they have people wearing symbols on their shirts so they can’t make these mistakes anymore?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, 4 days ago if this is to be believed. I say that because it seems like some are wearing them, but a lot are not.

This is the 21st century though so it’s going to be sub-dermal RFID tags that get scanned like toll booth passes in cars.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I thought we got those in the vaccine already.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Trump loves gold and these are "Mexicans" so the symbol should be two overlapping golden Doritos. One chip pointing down and the other chip pointing up.

If anybody is wondering what conservatives think, they haven't yet gotten their instructions for this particular case yet

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

They’re all cumming their brains out to this shit

[–] [email protected] 55 points 2 weeks ago

Wilmer Gutiérrez last spoke to his son on March 16 during a brief call allowed by police. He had spent days searching for information, visiting police stations and courthouses, only to be told there was no record of his son.

Looks like if you re approached by ICE, you need to assume it's a kidnapping.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago (9 children)

At this point, you’re fucked, might as well arm yourself. Rather go out like that then be tortured in a foreign prison.

Because it 100% is a kidnapping. This is so freaking dangerous and entrapping.

And compliance will not save you

And being sent to El Salvador is a death sentence. I would act in self-defense appropriately.

[–] [email protected] 93 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Glad to hear it. State law is not your friend, and now, it's your enemy. If you're targeted, the vest that says POLICE (or ICE) means nothing. They are just people in a fancy outfit. They're still there to intrude and fuck up your life.
Laying down doesn't save these people any more.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 weeks ago

Laying down doesn't save them anymore? Never has.

No gang ties, no criminal history, not even from that country.

We are the baddies.

It's a shame, there was a scene cut where Captain America walks by a building showing graffiti art of his helmet with the word 'fascist' in red on it, causing him to sigh and toss it off. I don't think he wore it again until Endgame, where they incorporated it into the time travel suit.

Wish that scene should've been kept in, and had a bit more focus on Steve Rodgers questioning if he truly was working for organizations that believed what he did. A crisis of faith moment for him instead of a quick 3-second pass with a joke from Hawkeye.

We always have been the baddies

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think there are a lot of people who honestly mean well. Have been in the past, and likely still are. But what we have right now, to take a cue from Komodo up above with his Captain American post, this is like real-world Captain America: Winter Soldier, where it looks like overnight we've suddenly become a fascist nation. Sad reality though is, like that movie, things have been going on for decades that led us to this point.

I'm not optimistic about our near future. Shit looks grim. But, I'm optimistic that we can eventually fight our way out of it, and hopefully correct things after whatever needs to be done, is done. Got to have some hope, otherwise there's no point in holding on at all.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I feel you, by “baddies” I’m more referring to the powers that be in America. You and I are just victims to their bullshit that they subject us all to so they can play their little capitalist games. Yeah the future looks frightening for sure and this really sucks but hopefully it’ll at least be a catalyst to a better future. Like Samwise said, the good in this world is worth fighting for and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. What we’re heading into won’t be sustainable and hopefully people wake up and it does seem to be happening a lot more lately. While it looks grim, we will be supported by like minded people so we’re not alone and we’re growing every day
