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.
Why the fuck are we wasting time and resources deporting this person?
Because suffering and fear is the point
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.
“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.”
But on that morning in March, Guardado got a strange phone call at work. Some sort of public safety officer had dialed her office and wanted her to come outside to talk. In the parking lot, three men in plain clothes identified themselves as Department of Public Safety officers, Correa told The War Horse. As Shirly approached, they said her car had been involved in an accident. But when she got close, they grabbed her and handcuffed her, telling her they were ICE agents.
God damn this is scummy as hell.
Does the lesson of you are not special have to be learned one at a time forever?
In the rugged individual myth society yeah probably.
Unfortunately, yes.
And, as an American, we tend to forget everything after 1-3 years. So you have to teach us again. And again. And again. And-
You understand, I gather.
Why do you think we’re in this situation? Practically, the majority of Americans can only learn things the hard way.
Wait, are you telling me that I’m not going to suddenly be the person making more than 3 million dollars a year for no reason other than going to work every day, having a good attitude, and trying to climb the ranks?
I only need to average a $1442/hr wage at 40 hour weeks. Wait… that still isn’t enough money to fall into the category of higher taxation that the democrats wanted with their Marxist attitude which was used all throughout the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, and tanked during the 80’s. Kind of a similar trend between taxation and wage stagnation but those aren’t related at all!

‘Majority’ is really the word you wanted to use? Less than 35%, and that’s with a possibly stolen election.
You forgot the 60% or so who are simply enablers
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.
not that I’m encouraging it but I’m kind of surprised that there hasn’t been more violent attacks on ice officers
Small-scale violence excites and emboldens fascism. It will not stop it.
I’m talking about defending yourself, not attacking anything.
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.
Again… no one reads.
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?
I didn’t ask a question, I made a statement. Again, no one reads.
You’re a spectacular dick, aren’t you?
You need only 1 guard per 100 slaves.
Well that’s a dumb myth. Even with a heavily armed guard, they could not fight 100 people and win in almost any situation.
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.
It isn’t important. A guard can be non-armed except for a club. Slaves won’t attack. Because they are slaves.
I mean, slave revolts have happened numerous times in history. I think you need to educate yourself more on this.
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.
a simple internet search would prove you wrong
Facepalm.
Until the slaves start facing starvation or hunger, they’ll never revolt.
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.
Now off you go to genocide / die for the Israeli empire.
Israel first!
I wonder what the chances are that someone who works for ice gets thier spouse carted off.
It wonder when two of them will try to deport each other.

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
fox news is their religion. have you ever tried to logic someone out of their religion? its fucking impossible.
What is that old adage? You cannot reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into…
If you are even vaguely Latino in this country, it could happen to you at any moment. Nobody is safe.
And they won’t stop there. Fascism needs a constant supply of new enemies, and sooner or later you will find yourself in its sights.
I am a white appearing half Latino—there but by the grace of god go I. I take this fight personally.
I’m surprised by how many latinos (according to research) genuinely believe they are part of the American “white” ethno-fascist in-group. It’s unbelievably bizarre.
As long as nobody looks at my last name I’m WASP as fuck.
We could make such an awesome cell of double agents.
Double agents are double crossing everyone. I think you mean spy or saboteur.
I thought a double agent was someone who pretends to be an agent for one group, but are actually an agent for another. For instance, in my half baked fantasy, I would get a job with ICE, but feed information to The League of Extraordinary Mariachi while always finding a way to make the cuffs too loose so the prisoners just happen to escape.
No, double agent is in group 1, they spy on group 2. In the process they get recruited by group 2. Then spies for both groups.
