I can hear the magats now, "Well if ICE took him then he was obviously doing something illegal" with no further thoughts.
let’s see how bad they cheat at midterms. once we cross that bridge and all avenues for peace are closed i’m gunna visit the fuck face red hat up the street
all you red hats lurking, i’m not the only one thinking this and i’m pretty even keeled, hope yall got your bunkers ready
Cruelty is the point.
Hell is a bullshit concept. But God damn if there isn't a part of me that wants it to exist and the people responsible for this, having to explain their cruelty to their maker before fucking burning for eternity
The actions that they are taking are objectively sins - even by Old Testament standards.
They are creating hell. Right now and right here.
There’s something you can believe in.
by Old Testament standards
Yeah I'm gonna call bullshit on that. Yahweh was a genocidal, admittedly jealous, maniac in the Old Testament.
And yet still better than CBP and ICE
I dunno, killing every first born is pretty fucked
I mean, ICE kills every kid, black person or who sneezed too strong soo... but now that i think about it, the biblical god did kill the entire world once but without counting that, they are on par
You don't need to lie about what ICE is doing to make them look bad.
I didn't lie tho
You literally said that ICE is killing every black and brown kid who sneezes.
I understand hyperbole, but you were responding to something that Christians do not believe to be hyperbolic at all.
Their god literally slaughtered every first born child in Egypt. Well, every Gentile first born. And I guess there might have been some Jews in there that hadn't heard about the goat's blood thing, or it slipped their mind and, whoops! Dead Jewish kids.
Can't trust Yahweh to know which kids were Jews without that goat's blood on the door. Can't expect an omniscient god to know all that...
Anyway, my point is that no, ICE is not doing that shit. Yet. Acting like they are just hurts your credibility.
That's true. Yahweh wasn't a makeup wearing, draft dodging, closet case that was a genocidal, admittedly jealous, maniac in the old testament.
I would like members of the Trump Regime to have this sort of karmic fate...

The US Government can't spend money to fight cancer anymore. It only fights people WITH cancer instead.

This is horrific and upsets me. It's worth reading more than the headline.
Sent to likely die,
Cruel and unusual,
That’s the u s a
As an atheist shit like this makes me hope I’m wrong so these fuckers burn in hell.
Evil continues to win. We can stop it anytime we are willing to really fight back untill then, they continue to win.
White middle class citizens who have spoken against the regime will be next.
Pfft, cancer thing shouldn't even be a factor in this until it's at least stage 5.
Legitimately a lawyer can fix this. He has a clean record and that is all that will matter.
That may be accurate, but it won't do him any good if he dies of neglect or suffers irreversible damage to his health before he even gets a chance to show up in court.
I think I get why you typed this - to perhaps shine some hope on a hopeless situation. The truth, however, is that this guy might never get to his lawyer, and is lucky we even know he exists to maybe keep a light on the cockroaches so they can't just carry him away.
He has a clean record and that is all that will matter.
If he has a clean record then why did they kidnap him in the first place?
ICE spokesperson Jason Chudy said the agency arrested Javar because he allegedly failed to disclose a criminal conviction when applying for his immigrant visa in 1995. Chudy declared that Javar was “therefore ineligible to remain in the United States now.”
This is the kind of stuff that previous administrations overlooked and used their discretion on. This administration is mainly applying the immigration law strictly according to the letter. The immigration laws themselves really suck and they have for a long time.
A cop buddy of mine once told me: “There’s the spirit of the law, and the letter of the law. The cops in my department who go by the letter of the law are the worst people to work with.”
People who act like laws are always written perfectly to cover every possible situation are fucking morons who have absolutely NO business working in law enforcement. People are imperfect, and the things written by them even moreso.
On the other hand, discretion in applying the law is often an excuse for the pigs to harshly punish people of colour while letting white people off. I think it's important for laws to be applied equally to all and if the laws need to change they need to change.
Hypothetically, let's say a political party passes a law against murder that mandates long prison sentences, then another political party comes along and uses the same law to jail people who have not committed murder, is the first political party responsible for what the second political party did?
In case you are confused by my comment, you have to read the article to understand. It alleges democrats are responsible for creating the immigration enforcement structures which republicans are now abusing.
Now imagine the first party comes back into power and goes ‘wow, thank god that will never happen again!’ twice more and does nothing to change the incredibly abuse-prone system, and you might have something approaching an analogy with context. Republicans are not the only party that has been in power since 9/11.
This is completely ignoring that historically ‘centrist’ (conservative) Democrats have championed their immigration stance as ‘common sense’, ie indistinguishable from their Republican opponents.
