ICE and several other agencies at DHS are going to need to be “de-nazied” after Trump.
From the article it seems like we all better have our lawyers.
Well yeah, they’re technically law enforcement that’s what they do; lie and ruin/take lives.
Don’t. Talk. To. Cops.
I want democratic leaders to start scheduling Nuremberg trials. List every single transgression and their perpetrators and give them a trial date post 2028. Let Americans vote on it
What ICE is stating makes NO SENSE. It defies commom sense. According to them he approached them stating he was an ILLEGAL alien from Mexico, how is anyone supposed to believe this BS?
Oh my fucking god, that X comments section…
“He was paid by Soros to cause a media circus!”
“Can he be charged for lying to a government official?”
“Don’t care, where are the MASS deportations?”
Evidently, it’s incredibly easy to lie to people who don’t want the truth.
They do not have to tell the truth only you do, even prosecutors are allowed to lie in court but not defense lawyers.
This article does a good job of summarizing what happened and the thing that stands out to me the most is that this vulnerable young man, who had just recovered from a medical condition, did exactly what many of us are taught as children. He approached a government official for help. But, instead of getting assistance, he was treated as a liar and a criminal based on the unforgivable crime of appearing like a “foreigner” (i.e., for being Latino in the USA).
ICE was created in 2003. America existed just fine for 227 years without it. I think America would be better off if it spent the next couple centuries without it.
I’m not religious, and don’t believe in ‘supernatural’ good or evil. But this is **evil**. We are going through an absolutely shameful episode of our history.
“Ultimately, while Hermosillo managed to secure his release, his account is a horror story of how quickly someone can be detained on the suspicion of being an undocumented immigrant, and how the government will even lie to keep someone in detention. The Trump administration is staunchly resisting any kind of legal safeguard to protect the rights of immigrants or those mistakenly detained, blatantly denying people the right of due process.”
Just spitballing here.
If you live in a “stand your ground” state, and are approached by a masked individual with no ID….
Stand your ground.
How low will republicans go?
The most vulnerable in society are always the proving ground for authoritarianism before they move on to everyone else.
“If he’s brown, lock him down.” This seems to be their credo
ICE are brownshirts.
The MAGA crew will hold this up as an example that the system is working because he was released and not sent to El Salvador.
Doesn’t matter that it was 10 days or that it shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
It should be taught in schools that cops can (and do) lie about everything.
This right here is why Ive decided to shun Trump Voters. As a hispanic American I now gotta legit think about not leaving home without my ID, not because it might be an inconvininence but because I too might be picked up off the streets just cause im hispanic. Fuck every single motherfucker who voted for Trump. Eat shit, hope you get audited. May your hemorrhoids flare up for the rest of your life.
Every day is Shut the Fuck Up Friday
I wonder if the truth is something more like:
JOSE: can you help me? I’m not from here, I’m from New Mexico.
OFFICER: Mexico? Do you have a green card? Do you have immigration papers?
JOSE: *(the American citizen)* No. Why would I….
OFFICER: You’re under arrest.
Your daily reminder: cops are under no obligation to say anything truthful. Never talk to the cops.
This whole story seems very weird. They aren’t denying he signed this, but saying he has learning disabilities, but if he’s that disabled, he was left in a hospital after a seizure all alone and the only way to get home was to search out a border patrol agent and ask for him? What?
Wonder if there was a payment here to make this story happen?
Private prisons are run for profit. The longer you are in chokey, the more shareholders receive in dividend.
Fuck late-stage capitalism.
>After being released from the Tucson hospital, Hermosillo did not know how to get back to where he was staying, he told the Popular Information newsletter. He sought out a police officer for help.
This might be the best still-living example of “If you have a problem and ask the police for help, you now have two problems.”
We all must be immigrants because this isn’t the country we started 2025 with. There’s almost nothing left..
