CBP agents are now guilty of the following charges: US Code Title 18 Section 242: Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/242 US Code Title 18 Section 241: Conspiracy Against Rights https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/241 Conspiracy Against Rights has a 10 year prison sentence as a penalty. Good luck getting Trump's Department of Justice to prosecute anyone.

Almost, shame.

And this is how little Timmy, err, Bachir, learned that voting for faschists is bad. Sigh. Okay, maybe he learned...

Nah, it was honest mistake. Could’ve happened to anyone.

A guy named Bachir Atallah thought that Trump was on his side? What a jackass

People can be immigrants, and be pro business, and against undocumented immigration...

But! People should have enough intelligence to grok (and they don't) that if for some reason you're on the wrong side of the equation, you can find yourself in deep shirt

Ok so everyone is entitled to basic rights, but if you're a Trump voter my sympathy gets turned way the fuck down.

If I'm reading the article correctly, the guy suffers from high blood pressure and as such he should avoid excessive stress. He asked for medical treatment but when told that he would be under guard at the hospital and then returned to detention for questioning after he recovered he declined treatment.

I'm not a doctor but my understanding of high blood pressure as a chronic illness is that it's a long term game. High pressure on your arteries and heart over many years increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. It's less relevant as a short term problem.

To point out the obvious, this guy was very happy for Trump to be mean to everyone else, just didn't think he was included.

This isn't always the case. Some cases of hypertension that are not lifestyle related can reach life threatening levels (as in, embolism or burst blood vessel or heart failure) if not treated regularly.

I'm happy to stand corrected given my very limited medical knowledge.

That said, old mate obviously wasn't too concerned about it given that he forewent treatment.

So…. I’m thinking pasta for dinner. Maybe some garlic bread. Haven’t decided.

I just ripped a bunch of bowls and that sounds good

Could use a little side salad, maybe?

Nothing better than a Caesar and pasta.

Oooooh. I’ll have to see if I have any croutons.

Penne of course. Spaghetti is a shit pasta shape. There is always a better shape available for every sauce and situation.
