Because that’s what he asked for and would accept.
For the Trump administration it is necessary to break this man to their will, to make an example of him, to destroy him rather than admit they made a mistake.
Where can we send the whistles?
That’s some major chutzpah right there.
Among other things, they probably didn’t like it when Trump called Elizabeth Warren “Sacajawea,” or hung Andrew Jackson’s portrait in the Oval Office.
The federal government claims that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
“Adverse inference.” (gavel bangs)
ICE’s newly-launched terror campaign in New Orleans is literally called Operation Swamp Sweep, because I guess they figured they weren’t being on-the-nose enough.
New Orleanians should start having parades and second lines to disrupt Operation SS.
Cesar Jimenez told the News-Register his brother, Christian, 17, was taken by ICE agents Friday off-campus around 12:30 p.m. while the student was getting lunch in the middle of the school day.
“Since then, our family has been unable to locate him or receive information about his whereabouts,” Cesar said. “We are concerned about the detention of a minor who is a U.S. citizen, and we believe this raises serious questions about due process and the treatment of minors in immigration enforcement.”
He added, “We have already contacted Unidos (Bridging Community), but since we still cannot locate him, we are deeply worried for his safety and wellbeing.”
No big deal though, just another case of “government assisted unlocatability” syndrome.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says don’t trust masked chuds who claim to be cops.
Oh… Voodoo is a thing in New Orleans. I think it would be great if every New Orleanian cast a curse on every ICE agent they see. Individual ICE agents will have hundreds or thousands of curses on them. The residents could mention every minor inconvenience to them: ‘Oh, you tripped on the sidewalk? I know a lot of people who like to use that particular curse.’
We need more of this. In fact, we need state police agencies to monitor, arrest and jail ICE agents who are kidnapping, assaulting, and violating constitutional rights.
Here’s a rather unique way to protest. People are buying a cheap .17 cent product at Home Depot and then returning it.
Why does inconveniencing Home Depot shoppers amount to a protest against a federal agency?
Because of allegations that Home Depot are collaborating with ICE. (Which Home Depot deny)
And they are doing it to inconvenience Home Depot, not shoppers.
And ice scrapers because ICE.
But if the goal is to slow down lines and the store, that is inconveniencing shoppers.
Harassing front-line employees for the win.
And those shoppers just might go to Lowe’s instead. Which will hurt Home Depot. See how that works?
who will then protest to the store, and maybe help to influence them to change their policy.
I doubt that Home Depot has an explicit policy to co-operate with ICE. They may just be complying with the law, such as by not denying entry to ICE agents when they arrive for a raid.
If there is a Lowe’s handy. Or they might get irritated with the protesters and support Home Depot out of a sense of “us against the protesters”.
