Across the country, 10 people have died in ICE custody since January.
I think at this point we can characterize it as killing. ICE is killing people.

Jesus christ, if this is what's making it to the news, imagine what is being covered up.
Without process, kidnapped in the streets, courtrooms and homes to be killed in detention. How can you accept this from your own country? The USA needs a revolution
Edit: I am very happy and would never consider suicide
It's really a very small consolation that one can now actually go "fucking told you so."
Remember those FEMA camps the right wing were going on about? Projection.
No, he didn’t just magically and coincidentally “die”.
This was murder. We must never forget what is happening right now and we must never forgive any accomplice. Someday, they will be held accountable. Never forgive or forget the terror, slavery, torture, deprivation of human rights, and murder enacted by this administration and its accomplices.
two possibilities, both likely (at the same time).
a) Ice does not provide basic necessities to live, like food/water/restrooms/access to emergency healthcare... and people will die.
b) there are so many people detained that it is statistically likely people will die of natural causes (you dont become immortal just because you're detained.
most likely both of those options at the same time.
more thoughts and prayers? they'll certainly work this time
The sad thing is I don't think it will be the USA putting them to trial. It'll be other nations that are picking through the rubble or individual governments after the united states balkanizes. Maybe I'm too pessimistic about things but I just don't see a way we get out of this whole.
Land of the free.
I feel so much safer now.
Republicans call him a criminal. Crossing the border has a criminal act, so that’s all they need for justification.
Don't they have a criminal as a president?
It's not even criminal, it's a misdemeanor
skullfuck all the assholes who did this
metaphorically, of course, in adherence to all of lemmy's various tos
Can the journalists please headline home as “American”, not leading off with a place he lived over half a century ago?
Was he one of the Cubans mad that his family lost their slaves and plantations? And voted for Trump?
Would that make it okay for ICE to abduct him without due process and kill him?
Keep in mind you’re talking about someone who came to the US as a 15 year old child.
Nobody deserves that.
That said, cubans overwhelmingly support the old orange doofus.
Disfruta lo votado.
Si no tuviera la ciudadanía, no podría haber votado.
Muchos cubanos apoyan al partió republicano por ser anti comunista, cuidados o no. Aún siendo cuidado es posible ser deportado. Ni sería novedad que le pase a un veterano. En un episodio de NPR había una historia de un señor que pensó que era ciudadano. Hasta se unió al ejército y fue a vietnam. Luego trabajo como patrulla fronteriza. Se le descubrió que su acta de nacimiento era falsa y fue deportado.
Of course not but it's important context for people who don't know why a good chunk of Cuban Americans vote Republican.
If he voted for it? Yep.
If you only have a problem with it when it happens to the ‘wrong people’ then you have a lot in common with Trump voters 🤷♂️
And how tf is someone who was getting deported voting in presidential elections? Only citizens can do that.
I only dont have an issue when people who demanded something happens, has it happen to them.
Am I sad if an arsonist burns in a fire they set? No. Was I said when the billionaire crusher crushed the billionaires? No.
All examples of people getting what they demanded.
Except you have no evidence any of that is happening here. You know he was a Cuban immigrant who has been here since he was 15 and made up the rest.
Why am I having to be in this thread explaining that collective guilt and blaming children for where they were born is deranged?
He’s not a citizen. Couldn’t have voted for this.
Hence, the "and".
Did he support Trump prior to his arrest?
Remember, a load of Cubans love Trump, because they think he will return thr family slaves and plantations to them....
Remember? I’m not familiar with Cuban slavery in the last 100 years. Do you have a source? Just curious.
Cuba ended slavery before the US?
We still have plenty of people alive in the US whose parents were literal slaves...
