    This is just insane! And to leave the family in a lurch for 3 months?! That’s even worse.

      I didn’t see it mentioned here or elsewhere what party the Sgt has a associated with, but it did mention the party (Democrat) of another officer. The omission of this speaks volumes though.

        This other article mentions it:

        Correa expressed disappointment in the Trump administration, feeling betrayed after voting for him and serving the country, as he believed only violent criminals would be targeted.

          Jesus man like how can people be this dense

          Like it doesn’t even affect me personally except some abstract way because I’m European but still. Is it ignorance? Stupidity? Like I get you can listen to Fox News all day or the even more fringe ones… but isn’t there a choice? Get outta here

          not that I’m encouraging it but I’m kind of surprised that there hasn’t been more violent attacks on ice officers

          My comment is condemning the violence mentioned above, regardless of motive.

          Violent response vilifies the citizen against the officer ‘doing their job.’ That is leveraged to strengthen laws that protect officers, used as more propaganda to grow support for the right, and costs us another resister to incarceration.

          People need to stop suggesting response with emotion and read history. Small scale resistance against fascism has never been successful.

              I’m fully aware of your personal disclosure. That’s why I wrote “people” and not “you.” I was answering your question. Are you always condescending when you don’t understand the context of a reply?

                Oh man, this is the same guy that told me to stop saying what I want to say (oppress my right to free speech) and then resorted to childish name-calling (called me an ass). A bully just like trump. Dude’s all mixed up.

                I don’t care if someone disagrees with me. I’ll listen to someone who can make valid points, but that’s not what a bully does.

          That’s the neat part: starving slaves too often are busy with survival, they have “families to feed”, they have no time for revolutions. But caution is needed, yes. So keep your slaves hungry but not starving and they’ll never revolt.

          It isn’t important. A guard can be non-armed except for a club. Slaves won’t attack. Because they are slaves.

              Yes, and between those revolts, there were NO revolts for very long periods of time.

              I don’t say that revolts are impossible, I say that they are rare and happen only under very special circumstances. If slave revolts were norm, then slavery wasn’t a thing ever, because guards were always in the minority.

              I think you need to educate yourself more on this.

              And I think that you don’t think.

          That isn’t the point. The point is that a single heavily armed guard is enough to deter a hundred people from even trying to fight until they are desperate.

          The point is that, even though those hundred people would win a fight, and even if they know it themselves, those hundred people are individuals. Unless they are desperate, none of those individuals are willing to stick their neck out to fight.

          We see this in prisons. We saw this under slavery. We saw this in concentration camps. A few armed people are sufficient to suppress lots of unarmed people. Sometimes the unarmed revolt, and when they do, they often succeed if they are willing to take massive casualties. That doesn’t change the fact that they rarely try to revolt in the first place.

    All sympathy to the innocent woman and child, but to the husband? YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR SCUMBAG. It’s unfortunate that an innocent woman and child you care about had to be affected, but fuck you.

    Worst part is that Shirley was going through the process of naturalization and working to be here legally. Through a process the military had put in place for just this exact kind of thing.

    She had no criminal record, has been here for a decade, and has faithfully reported for her hearings. Not to mention she is gainfully employed.

    Why the fuck are we wasting time and resources deporting this person?

      Because America put a deranged convict into, what is arguably the most powerful position in the world. Congress won’t challenge him, so he’s running amok while his party turns a blind eye to the obvious human rights violations that are constantly happening.

      The whole “worst of the worst” line for who that are deporting is, and always has been a lie. They just want POCs to suffer and die because they’re Nazis.

      The even sicker part is that there is an entire cult worth of brainwashed racists all sitting around a table afterwards congratulating eachother for making America ““safe”” and saving their country.

      I could throw a plate.
