Two of them were pulled over for driving when they weren't allowed a license and they tried to shoot the police officer that pulled them over and had to be killed. So they're completely different leagues.

We can’t report him because he’s a natural born citizen. But we can put him in a maximum security prison, in an isolation cell for a very long time- and forget about him.

The daughter’s cries kill me.
“You guys can’t take her just because you want to.”
It should be that way but who is standing up for her and her daughter if we don’t?

They kill me too. Actually males me cry because that is exactly how my daughter would react and it is so heartbreaking.

Doubtful. Every one of these cases is protected under some “state secret” nonsense. They don’t have to tell anybody who they’re taking or why or where they went. Also, the convicted felon wants to make it illegal to wear masks at protests on college campuses, and I guess everywhere else too, but that doesn’t stop the ICE thugs from hiding their identity.

My comment came with a ban warning. I guess we just let them brutalize and dehumanized people. Maybe we just sign over everything. Like reddit will still be allowed in the future. We are losing our rights and reddit protects them. I guess this good bye to my account. I guess reddit will turn me into the government now. It was a good run. I loved reddit when I first found it. People were connecting and doing meet ups to better their communities. It was a positive vibe. I was a premium member for years. Now it is no longer a free and positive space. It has been compromised. Goodbye everyone.

Everyone needs to acknowledge what's going to happen to these two Women.
Anyone believing they're going to just be deported to some quaint little home town in the hills of some foreign land are kidding themselves. That's not what happens. That's not where she's going and that's not the fate this Woman and Daughter will receive if taken. We know where this woman and her daughter are going and making light of it doesn't help them.
Anyone not realizing that every Man they pick up is going to Hard Labor for the rest of their lives and any Woman is going straight into Sexual Slavery for the same duration isn't paying attention. These people are being picked up and SOLD INTO SLAVERY. FULL STOP.
We need to be DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT RIGHT FUCKING NOW. Everyone they take is GONE and it's unlikely that they make it back.

People are being sent to an ultra-max Salvadorean Prison. The men at least, you'll notice that few of the pictures surfacing of people in custody in these places include Women or Women's facilities.
Take a guess as to why that would be the case.
ICE = Gestapo
"Deported" = "Labor Camp" // "Sexual Slavery" depending entirely and who gets to make the decision about them in El Salvador.
I'm done mincing words about this shit.
Things are already so far out of hand that people should be rioting. The Media almost as a whole is complicit in this. We end it tomorrow with the Hands Off event or it likely never ends.

EIGHT HUNDRED PEOPLE have been DISAPPEARED without Due Process. MANY of which are CONFIRMED to have not only NO TIES to Tren De Aragua but also many of which were green card holders in good standing or otherwise fully authorized to be here.
He did this so he could sell them into Slavery. It will genuinely be a miracle if that man mentioned in that tweet is recovered. If Trump was going to follow judges orders, his plane would've turned around in the air like it was told to, instead an official made a tweet about it saying "Oops, too late teehee".
Trump and Elon only have two viable and acceptable fates left for them: A Cage or a Casket.

u/JimCroceRox 1d ago
Every time I see something like this my first thought is when is this going to start happening to regular, innocent, everyday citizens doing nothing. But it already does in many places. Just not wide scale enough or to only marginalized folks that it rarely produces too much outrage. These guys ordering this are both cruel and stupid. And they will eventually over reach. The backlash could be epic when that happens. What worries me more than that, though, is it doesn’t take many calamities, natural or man made, before we could be the people fleeing to a foreign nation to try to survive…this could all come back to bite us, like some sort of karmic payback, the shoe on the other foot. Why can’t we treat people a little better than this knowing it could be us in the barrel someday? I don’t get it. Makes me sad and angry.

u/fluffywaggin 1d ago
She's only undocumented because the rich like it that way. She'd be like any other documented immigrant if they let her have a pathway to come legally. She's probably been here all her daughter's life. I would consider someone who's been here that long to be part of America.
Citizenship was a right they kept from her so they could exploit her labor. She's not much different from you...only born in another country, so she's stuck in this "undocumented caste"...but the rich see all workers as subhuman resources to exploit and our citizenship isn't going to protect us for long now that the rule of law is meaningless.

This has got to stop. I am so f;())(king sick of the USG and fascists using immigration to "justify" racism and xenophobia. She was complying, even trying to calm her daughter, and they smash her window out and grab her like she's a criminal. What public safety threat is this poor woman posing???
As an American, I could not care less if her relief isn't 100% lawful. The immigration system is byzantine and was purposefully designed that way to criminalize immigration (and cuz racism.) And I'm not the least bit concerned with people who don't have any "papers" or relief at all, as long as they don't commit serious crimes against people and property. I'm not counting rolling through a stop sign as a crime FFS. It's downright American to flaunt traffic laws.
ICE is notorious for sloppy investigative and policing techniques and they even have their own "social media research unit" powered by Palantir tech. You can guess what that unit does.
I don't know why this person immigrated from El Salvador but do know that she wouldn't be the first person to seek asylum in the US to escape the organized crime there. I don't really care any way. But I do care greatly that ICE is running around arresting and detaining people just trying to live cuz they're "illegal." We used to have at least some due process in the badly broken immigration courts but guess we're just gonna dispense with that altogether and let ICE be the sole judge of guilt. It's truly stomach-turning and scary AF, particularly when we have a rapist and felon in the White House directing and celebrating it.

They fantasize about Russia. They see it as a white-dominated ethnostate with exaggerated gender roles, a strong politically active church, and a strongman leader that might just give them the love that daddy withheld.

As well, if you suspect that the baconboys are coming for you this very instant, turn the phone off for emergency protection, and back everything up to the cloud in case they physically take it from you and you need to restore your contacts, text messages, apps and settings etc to a different phone later.

“¡No la agarres así!”: Circula video en redes de una supuesta salvadoreña siendo arrestada por ICE
“Don’t hold her like that!”: Video circulates on networks of an alleged Salvadoran woman being arrested by ICE.
The video has caused outrage at the actions of the agents in capturing the alleged Salvadoran woman, and refused to provide the warrant for her arrest.
A video of an immigrant woman has been circulated on social media by agents of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Control Service (ICE). The migrant, according to some media and journalists who have returned the footage, is a Salvadoran woman based in Maryland who was reportedly intervened in her vehicle while she was heading for her work with a relative of her family, who appears to be her daughter. “Tell me why (you are arresting me) and give me the warrant (for the arrest),” asks the immigrant, identified as Elsy Ríos, to the two migrant officers who interrogate her from outside the car. “I won’t give her the order,” replies the agent. In the face of the refusal, Rios said that it would not get out of the car without seeing the order, after which the other masked element bursts the glass from the door to open the car inside.
“Don’t worry, Karen, don’t worry. Calm down, talk to Ulises,” says the woman calmly to her relative, while the agents try to take her seat belt off to remove her from the car and arrest her.
The officer gave the instruction to Rios to give his daughter the phone to take it out, “why there is glass everywhere,” but the latter refused, replying that he will keep his cell phone with her and go out on his own. When the car leaves the ICE concrete the woman’s arrest, who quietly sends her relative to “call Ulises”. The stopping agent takes off his phone and gives it to the other with a ski mask. “Don’t worry my love, I’m fine,” stresses Rios to her apparent desperate daughter, who yells at the uniformed: “Don’t grab her like that!” for the way they hold her to handcuff her. After the arrest, the video cuts somewhere else, where the alleged son of Rios inquires one of the uniformed people who arrested her: “Why did they take my mom?” The officer replies that “he has no papers”, which the family member rejects, arguing that he does have “a trial and his lawyer”.
The son finally asks to see the arrest warrant but the officer refuses to provide it again, and the video ends.
The footage of less than two minutes has unleashed outrage in comments, where many users reproach the ICE’s action in capture. Am I obliged to answer ICE questions? According to the migratory lawyer Cynthia Grande explained in a television interview on 6 February, people are not obliged to answer questions from an immigration officer, and they do not have the power to inspect vehicles, homes and personal objects without a warrant. “There is no obligation to let Immigration enter his house, to his car, to be checking his things,” he said. He also said that agents often submit signed orders by a migration agent rather than a judge to justify their action. “The only way they can do it is by an order signed by a judge, which is different from an order signed by an Immigration Officer, and what happens is an Immigration Officer presents the order, and says, ‘Look, there’s the signature’, but it’s not the same, and one should know the difference to protect one and his family,” he said.
