If some masked agents took my kid away and flew them to another state I’d go on a goddamn murderous rampage until they were returned. And I am a pacifist.

I hope you already have your gun because they don't care and are already doing that
Child trafficking
Nothing suspicious about an administration run by a dude who’s into child trafficking kidnapping children and sending them away so they’re never seen again.
Does NO ONE in this administration get in any trouble for openly ignoring judicial orders??
Not until the Supreme Court dies
With the current president, that wouldn't solve anything. And seeing how he's probably going to be president for life, I don't see how this is going to be better anytime soon.
Any party that's fighting for you will pull a Merrick Garland until the midterms.
Bold to test a judge's willingness to apply sanctions
What sanctions?
But a judge said....
I DGAF what a judge said, it's the same as "my grandmother said..." because they are both willing and able to place the same amount of sanctions. Judges say shit but so far haven't done shit, so right now if a judge makes a judgement, why would I care? It's just empty words with zero meaning
That's so fucked up. They're forcibly displacing children not just without legal authority but also in direct contravention of a judicial order...
Sometimes I wish hell were real, precisely for these scenarios.
Hell is real. Hell is empty and the devils are all here.
Damn it, I knew I should've closed the gates on my way out!
People could make it real for them now. It is very difficult for an ICE vehicle to move with slashed tired.
Not exactly the same as being boiled in a kettle of hot oil while being prodded with a trident before being flayed alive and subsequently doused in sulfuric acid on repeat for all eternity, but close enough...
I'm surprised they didn't end up releasing her alone in a Walmart parking lot, in a different state, at 3am.
I sympathize with the situation, but it's scummy/clickbait-y of the headline to imply the kid was transported apart from any family members. It would have been trivial to add "and her father" to the headline, but it was deliberately omitted to influence the emotional response.
That's not respectable journalism.
In civilized countries that’s called kidnapping.
We quit pretending to be a civilized country when Trump was elected the first time.
Put whomever gave the order in jail for contempt.
And kidnapping since she was supposed to be released.
Or put them in an ice detention center locked up with those whom they locked up
It's up to the people now...
Eh, until one of these judges actually imposes sanctions I'm not impressed by their boldness.
Honestly the judiciary should have someone on standby to approve these requests to bar ICE from whisking detainees away from justice. 2.5 hours is a pretty good turnaround for justice, but frankly insufficient until ICE stops manipulating the justice system.
Can I just say, that if you're okay with any of this, you suck. That especially goes to the POS that say they like his immigration policies but don't like how expensive everything is. Fuck you. A 2 year old was kidnapped and sent away and will probably disappear.
My Norwegian mother, Bourne and raised in Norway and lived there her entire life, says that the killing of Good was a necessary evil in order to get the Somalis. My mother sucks so sad... I hope she dies soon.
I’m not sure how well this generalizes, but some of the most racist people I’ve ever talked to were Scandinavian (in their own country). Talking to them was jaw-dropping, even compared to the US South.
Edit: to clarify, this seemed to be a small minority of the people.
The US is not even close to the most racist/xenophobic countries/cultures on the planet. It's just that a lot of Americans without much experience actually living in different countries/cultures, or paying attention to their news, think that the worst they hear about here, is the worst there is.
Sports events elsewhere have literally been delayed due to racism, lol.
Unfortunately the far right is on the rise here as well. A party founded by literal nazis in the late 80's is now the second biggest party in Sweden for example.
It goes a little beyond suck. They're straight up evil. There's no longer any sort of benefit of the doubt, excuse, explanation, anything. It's downright evil.
So, I guess the five year old wasn't enough, ICE wanted to top themselves by being even more monstrous by kidnapping a two year old.
These "kids" are the worst of the worst! They don't eat their vegetables, and that two year old is always screaming about something. Truly terrible people. To the gulags, you little shits! /s
But seriously, what the fuck is the point in detaining children? I highly doubt they have somewhere to hold them that's even remotely appropriate for children. If we make it through this, we're going to have a generation of seriously traumatized kids.
It's not like this is them warming up the machine for harvesting children for the Secret Satanic Pedophile Ring that Secretly Controls MAGA.
“Secret”
Sounds like something a MAGAt would do.
Yes. It’s easy to tell, because an overwhelming majority of republicans do not have the capability to feel empathy. Pretty sure that is a requirement of joining the party.
Someone need to make a blog or something with all of this human right violations
I’m sure there’s already many sources tracking this stuff. The issue is that nothing is happening to the people doing the bad stuff.
For what purpose do you think a blog tracking this would be useful? So you can link the stories to people in power or their supporters who don’t care? Because anyone who did care by now has already had hundreds of opportunities to see incidents like this in the media.
People who watch Fox News and the like are never shown things like this. They are only given stories about alledged violent criminals being captured, when that is only a tiny fraction of the people being deported. The vast majority actually being people simply trying to provide for their families who have no criminal history, innocent children, people granted legal asylum, people with valid work or tourist visas, and even people currently going through immigration court to obtain legal citizenship.
People who watch faux news aren't going to read a blog that goes against their perceived reality. Such a blog would never reach their eyes, and if it did they would close them.
"A blog isn't a real news source"
For historical reasons. One day all of this will pass and we need to look back and able to filter out the noise. Not to link, but just to organize and catalog
One day all of this will pass
Not if Americans are just waiting for it "to pass."
Sure it will.
Rome didn’t fall in a day.
Doesn’t mean we’ll be alive to see it.
It's still valuable work. It's the truth, in a world where lots of people truly think that only appearances matter.
I agree it's worth keeping records of. I'm just pushing back on the language that implies this "will pass" on its own.
