> [@Mundane\_Super\_Hero](#): > > And now… This… The article ends on a hopeful note. > What I fear here – and I think ICE probably knows this – is that more often than not, a person who may not have legal standing to be in the country, notwithstanding the fact that there was a Fourth Amendment violation by ICE, may ultimately be out of luck. You could say that the arrest was illegal, and you go back to square one, but at the same time you’ve apprehended the person. So I’m struggling to figure out how you remedy this. ---

If we ever, ever, ever, did a little more of that cops wouldn’t maybe be so cavalier about other people’s rights. As it is, the remedy is to put the wronged person back where they were and slink away silently. ---

That’s what it looks like when the DOJ isn’t complicit in the crime to begin with. ---

I don’t think they’d like the idea of taking guns away from brown people either if it ever becomes a loud issue. That really is a line they don’t want to cross. It’s _almost_ refreshing how their gun worship can transcend other political issues for a certain demographic. ---

> [@Cheesesteak](#): > > You put the person who violated someone’s rights into jail. This. So much this. Until ICE agents start going to prison for violations of people’s constitutional rights this isn’t going to stop and it’s only going to escalate. Hold them accountable. Unlikely to happen while we have a self described dictator occupying the White House and Bondi in charge at the DOJ and Noem cosplaying all over the country. The ‘South is rising’ again folks. ICE should just go back to their traditional garb of white sheets and hoods. Truth in advertising and all that. When the dictator pardoned all the January 6’ers last year they heard the barely veiled dog whistle loud and clear. That’s why we have federal agents arresting five and ten year olds in subzero temperatures and shooting innocent people in the face. ---

What I’m saying is that there will be no revolt. The ACLU will fight in court, thankfully, there may be protests when the weather is nice or the scheduling is not inconvenient, but no revolt of any kind. American exceptionalism is real: We are exceptional in our capacity for selfishness and apathy. Most of us here pretty much agree, but it ain’t like that “out there”. Outrage out there really seems few and far between to me. ---

ICE is beyond redemption. Every single person in the agency should be tried, convicted, and sent to Gitmo forever. What’s even worse than ICE are the MAGA cultists who are fully on board with the ICE terrorists. It’s sad to see that so many of our fellow citizens are evil shitbags. I don’t even know where to begin to punish Kristi Noem. Maybe she should be tied to a chair and forced to watch brown children play with puppies. ---

Two women detained by ICE save agents life when he suffers a series of seizures. After he is revived, other agents put them back in handcuffs and take them to detention. They were allowed to call their attorney, who called their state representative to intercede on their behalf. > “We’re releasing you to your counsel and to your state representative,” the officer said, according to Amundson. “But you need to tell everybody that we treated you kindly.” > > They were driven to the front of the Whipple Federal Building and released into their representative’s car.
