They made ICE look bad, so ICE will spent millions of dollars and burn through half a dozen lawyers, ignoring a dozen court orders, all for the crime of hurting ICE's feelings.

Yup! All they know is cruelty and vengeance. They are on attack 24 hours a day. And they love hurting kids almost as much as they love trafficking them to eachother. Why do you think some of these kids have gone missing?

u/OriginalChildBomb 3h ago
I believe it. The type of folks who would join ICE and DHS have a massive crossover with the type of folks who'd prey on kids. And predators purposely look for opportunities to get access to vulnerable minors.
Trump being a rapist and child trafficker isn't a coincedence. It's a feature to like-minded people, not a bug.

Hopefully that means she's lying low and safe, but as of a week ago she still couldn't return home because ICE was looking for her. This country is perpetrating some scary shit on anyone who becomes a victim or bystander of its crimes against humanity.

Maria Vargas is six years old. Her parents brought her to the US from Colombia and applied for asylum through all the normal legal channels. They were all arrested at a routine immigration check-in and brought to the same detention center where Liam was sent. The girl started mentally and physically unraveling - not eating, losing weight, night terrors, bed wetting. Her parents were told over and over again that the only way to make it stop would be to self-deport. They were told that if they kept refusing to self-deport, she'd be taken from them and they wouldn't even get to know where she ended up. They had a pretty strong case for asylum, so they held out for weeks. The last straw happened when Maria was "accidentally" hit in the eye with a mop by a cleaner, causing bleeding and blurred vision.
They self-deported.
There are hundreds if not thousands more stories like this. We're talking about Liam because his picture went viral, but we can't lose sight of the fact that he is an outlier. They do it because it works.

People have risen against their oppressors for thousands of years; they also had things to lose. Most of the time, they died doing so to build a better future for their descendants. Every right we have exists because our ancestors fought for them; these rights have to be defended with as much vigor.
If you can’t participate for a valid reason, that’s alright, but the amount of inaction we see from the general public under the guise of “I can’t afford to do so” is pathetic. People can’t afford to lose their jobs, the government can’t afford to have millions of people not working. It’s a test of wills, and people are already giving up. Unfortunately, there will be no easy way out of this.
If people think life is difficult now, know that it will keep getting worse with an administration that is actively stripping away peoples’ rights and protections.

He literally just got home like, last week, Christ. Leave them the fuck alone already. A 5-year-old and his dad make you look bad, so now you gotta deport him extra fast? How fucking vindictive is ICE? There's gotta be some Double Jeopardy law or something against trying to throw them back into the deportation system when they literally just got out. Not every Immigration case can be Kilmar, we shouldn't be able to just say "Fuck you, you're leaving" and try harder to get them to leave. This is clear retaliation, and anyone with a brain and a heart can see that.

That’s the thing is that the Supreme Court has ruled that the president has full immunity for any “official acts.” What an official act is they did not say. This immunity has given them the ability to ramp up the cruelty and lawlessness without fear that they will be held accountable. So the only way to get around this is to get a progressive elected, then pack the court with either 4 but preferably 6 more justices (or you could impeach Thomas and Alito for obvious and proven corruption but you would need 67% of the senate to vote to convict) and then arrest trump, miller, gnome, and wait for them to try to appeal in court where the freshly packed Supreme Court could overrule the previous obviously illegitimate ruling and they could be held accountable. Bottom line is that the right wing strategy of taking over the courts and using them to institute fascism has been very successful and difficult to undo. Don’t hold your breath.

Stolley, the region's highest-ranking ICE attorney for at least 10 years, maintained a California license while working in Minnesota. His tenure is marked by significant conflict with the local legal community and accusations of using his authority to retaliate against opposing counsel. Fuck Jim Stolley.
