Army Sgt. Ayssac Correa had just started his day at the 103rd Quartermaster Company outside of Houston on the morning of March 13 when he got a phone call from his sister-in-law.
She worked at the same company as Correa’s wife and had just pulled into the parking lot to see three ICE agents handcuffing her.
“They’re taking Shirly away!” she told him.
Imagine getting that call. We’ve definitely become evil.
It’s not we that have become evil. I think it’s imperative that people properly consider who is doing the evil shit.
Many years ago I was visiting some country in Central America, and they were not angry that I was American even though the American government had done horrible things to their country, because they knew that I had no control over what those crazy motherfuckers did.
And that doesn’t mean that everyone is powerless, that we shouldn’t try to make a difference. That’s a different conversation.
My wife is Mexican-American. She was born here, and I fear that call. ICE is rounding up everyone that they “suspect” is undocumented. I’m afraid that she’ll get picked up and lost in the system before I can bring proof of citizenship.
What ICE is doing is evil. I can’t believe this is my country after only a few months, and I fear what will happen in a few years.
the proof doesn’t matter when they’re not bothering to check; ask kilmar obrego garcia.
i had family members that were born and raised in this country and deported during the last bought of xenophobia that this country went through during ww2; the most recent one ended up living out the rest of his life and dying in mexico.
