Key excerpts:

The family had been staying with a relative in Los Angeles for the previous seven months after crossing the border legally for a court appointment through the now-defunct CBP One App to seek asylum in October of last year. They had been granted parole status in the U.S. while they waited for their day in immigration court.

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying," Mukherjee said. "The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

The 6-year-old boy has been diagnosed with leukemia and has missed a medical appointment to be treated for worsening symptoms

The Texas Civil Rights Project says the family has been placed in expedited removal, which allows for rapid deportation without a court hearing. The family's attorneys fear they could be deported before their lawsuit is heard.

ah yes the damn children with blood cancer taking our jobs, the dangerous threat to society providing money for privatized healthcare by trying to stay alive

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 42 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I do not care the reason, if you have scared a 6 year old so bad he’s pissed himself, then you are indeed the “baddie”…

No child should suffer this kind of trauma at the hand of an adult. And if they do, than that adult responsible needs the ever lovin’ shit beat out of them. Period. End of sentence.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago

Problem is those "adults" (in name only) hide their cowardess behind firearms.

[–] knighthawk0811@lemmy.world 109 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

the fact that ICE is targeting anyone at immigration court tells us all exactly how hateful they and this admin is. these are people who are literally going through the legal system of immigration. they are not the same criminals that are publicly being talked about by the administration.

ice is specifically targeting good people because it's easy to get the list. using courts, using IRS fillings, profiling on the streets.

they are lazy. ice is purposefully not doing the work of finding and stopping real criminals. they are doing everything they can to avoid criminals. they are cowards, lazy cowards who only pretend to love this country but really they love the feeling they get when their boot is on someone's neck.

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 19 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Wasn't it less than a year ago Republicans were saying they were okay with immigration, they just want people to go through the legal process

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago

I don't know, I was too busy eating cats and dogs.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 16 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

We all knew that was a lie for most of them. They just didn't have the power or public support. It's not that they have more support now, but the support is way more public.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 3 hours ago

The have the power of all three branches of government, they don't need the public anymore.

And anyway, the public will forget before the next election anyway, they will just make eggs more expensive or butter, or something.

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That's cuz real criminals will fight back.

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Never thought I'd be rooting for the criminals.

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago

yeah I mean you're not seeing ICE showing up in the gangland or anything, they're picking on easy targets cuz they're cowards

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 176 points 1 day ago (5 children)

how long are these fucking nazis going to be allowed to run rampant? because if it wasn't clear before, then it 100% is now, that it was NEVER about "rapists and murderers" or even "illegals"

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

For as long as there is a nazi regime. And it is only going to get worse as soon as they have normalised this current level, which seems to be well under way.

[–] dinren@discuss.online 86 points 1 day ago (13 children)

Pretty sure they will keep on doing this until we start doing it to them and their families. More effort needs to be taken to identify them and humiliate them.

[–] orionsbelt@midwest.social 58 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

A Responsible List

The ICE List is a public, open-source effort to document the people responsible for enforcing deportation, separating families, and carrying out immigration raids in the United States.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

Looks like it's getting slammed right now

[–] CorruptCheesecake@lemmy.world 14 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

The first person that popped up when I clicked it was a freed Jan 6th rioter. Fucking disgusting. This awful administration is a disgrace filled with traitors and cowards.

agreed. not enough people are talking about how these fucking cowards can't even show their faces. while being a hired goon for the party trying to make it illegal for protesters to wear masks. fuck these people

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

If they can't show their face, they aren't police imo.

This is posted on (dot) world, which is basically reddit but slightly left of center.

In other words, mods will remove anything that maybe might be construed in a way that messes with the status quo of the rich and polititicians stomping their boot down on those they deem below them.

Whether mods agree with my phrasing or not, that's what's happening. I'm sure they'd prefer to frame it as "making sure our community doesn't get taken down by The Man"

[–] dinren@discuss.online 11 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah they keep using that line about being taken down, even though there has never been a lemmy instance taken down. We can also point out .ml as an example of shit not being taken down even though it’s quite literally calling for death of millions of people.

I just think .world mods are slightly right of center.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Fucking KiwiFarms has been running for years and years literally causing the death of multiple people. But if we say anything other than RIP on a post about Hitlers death it’s going to get the FBI involved to arrest Jordun or something ridiculous.

.world is peak shitlibism.

[–] dinren@discuss.online 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I would like to know more about kiwifarms?

I will say, I got banned from quokk.au for calling for the death of billionaires. 🤷‍♂️

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It’s the alt-right hate harassment community. Not a place to ever visit.

No one person has ever been instanced banned from Quokk.au?

[–] dinren@discuss.online 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Oh… yeah no right-wing for me. It was news@ sorry

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Oh that’s my sub, I certainly wouldn’t have banned you if that’s all it was and it was directed at billionaires. I hope someone shoots ‘em all.

Might have been one of the other mods? As we swapped to PieFed I can’t go back and see. Either way the ban wouldn’t exist at present due to the move, so you’re welcome to post again.

[–] dinren@discuss.online 1 points 7 hours ago

I dunno. Some cunt invited me over there saying I wouldn’t get banned for calling for action against rulers but then I got banned for it. I’m guessing it was some twat trying to get people banned. Flying Squid did that a lot before he went insane and killed himself. Joke’s on them cause I got a bot to make 1k alts so I never run out

If I was a brown person, I'd be carrying some kind of self defense weapon any time I was out of the house.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

As a white person, it is taking a surprisingly large amount of energy to not go dig out our 9mm in my FIL's gun safe and shoot these cowardly assholes on sight.

These are real people that are being directly affected by the heinous acts of ICE; and I fear they won't stop unless they have something to fear themselves.

[–] Carmakazi@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It ends when a lot of them are dead, or all of us are dead.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 day ago (8 children)

i know we're walking the edge of the rules here, but i'm hopeful that when one specific one of them finally fucking croaks (whatever the cause), things might start to turn around, seeing as how all of the rest of them who worship this person hate each others' guts and the flock will disperse

that day, when it comes, will be my own new personal holiday

Individual names.

[–] Eddbopkins@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

trump administration is afraid of sickly children. something like this doesn't happen by mistake. it takes people a specific group of evil scum bag people to do something like this.

[–] cuteness@sh.itjust.works 17 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Perhaps DOGE should be installed at ICE and lay off all these pieces of shit instead of making it harder for people to get the benefits they already paid for.

There seems to be a ton of fraud waste and abuse going on at ICE.

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

~~lay~~ off

[–] CorruptCheesecake@lemmy.world 38 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Why do these thugs always strike a pose when there's a camera? Crossing their arms, crossing their legs, leaning back as if they're Clint Eastwood. Fucking cosplayers, all of them.

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Same thing the Klan does.... oh hmm

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Some of those that work forces, are the very same that burn crosses. Huh.

[–] SirMaple__@lemmy.ca 24 points 20 hours ago

ICE is a bunch of scumbags.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 35 points 22 hours ago

Such brave heroes of the nation, who feel the need to intimidate a six‑year‑old leukaemia patient with a gun. /s

Absolutely evil and pathetically coward.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I'm disgusted with my country.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago

I'm disgusted and afraid for my safety in my country

[–] imrighthere@lemmy.ca 28 points 23 hours ago

Shithole joke of a country. Holy fucking shit.

I would love to hear from the children of these monsters. I would despise my dad if he was an ice agent. I would say im surprised at how easy these people give up their humanity when given the order to, but I know enough about history to remember that fascism shows us what these guys are capable of when they’re off the leash.
