Two Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents, dressed in plain clothes, had shown up and instructed the staff to stage a fake meeting in the basement so they could apprehend him, according to Gad. Hospital staff were distraught but felt forced to comply.
STOP COMPLYING YOU FUCK HEADS
"But what about meeeeeeee" - Americans
You forget 80% of Americas are fuck heads
How was he on a student visa? Seems off he had a job and no mention of going to school but a student Visa.
"secretly revokes his visa"
If your rights can be taken at any time and without notice... You don't have any rights at all.
Weird aside but why are they saying Ice instead of ICE in the article?
It's a UK paper. They don't do all-caps for acronyms (meaning abbreviations readable as words), they just capitalize the first letter.
Til, thanks!
We desperately need more Luigis
So something I’ve wondered. People want more Luigi’s, but are you willing to be a Luigi?
Well, we also need to have more Einsteins and Teslas, but I'm not willing to be them either
Yes, but I am also realistic with the idea that I have weak nerves, the worst aim in the world even close up, and suck at being on the run. I completely missed the target a couple times at the range the other day...at 10ft.
There is always a massive gap between "Someone should do something about this" and "I should do something about this."
9 times out of 10 no. People don't want to admit we have a keyboard warrior problem on Lemmy.
1 out of 10 would be plenty
Harsono’s wife, Peyton, called Gad in a panic after she received a call from human resources at the hospital. Two Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents, dressed in plain clothes, had shown up and instructed the staff to stage a fake meeting in the basement so they could apprehend him, according to Gad. Hospital staff were distraught but felt forced to comply. “He unsuspectedly walks in, smiling, and then they just pull out their handcuffs and forcibly detain him, pushing against the wall, start frisking him, and stripping all of his belongings,” Gad said.
That's actually insane. Imagine complying with the gestapo at your job.
No shame.
ICE agents have no boundaries, they would probably walk into a hospital and arrest a heart surgeon mid surgery. Probably even arrest the patient on the table as well.
