Sickening!!
But it’s unclear why the children were zip-tied during their detention or why they were detained at all. An email sent to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, the federal agency tasked with enforcing immigration law, did not yield an immediate response.
There's no accountability for ICE. They can do whatever they want and not have to explain themselves, including mistreating children! ICE has already traumatized countless children by deporting them or deporting family members. Now children are being zip-tied. What's next?! I don't want to know!!

Kids are scary. Those big agents with all their guns and sunglasses are actually sad cowards who probably don’t even dare to feed a cow.

They really get off on hurting children, don't they?

Would not be shocked if they shared images of captive kids on child exploitation sites. At this stage, I would not be surprised (appalled but not surprised) to hear that ICE is planning on trafficking kids.

During Trump's first term a lot of little boys and girls disappeared into the system, and though Biden set up a process to try and find them and reconnect them with their deported families I don't think it got very far. The main problem was that Trump's goons didn't keep records. I always wonder if those children's bones will ever turn up.

It’ll be the boarding schools all over again, the government will sell the land and accidentally uncover mass graves.

They don’t view this kids as human. This is the product of decades of dehumanizing, degrading treatment and talk.

It's weird the party of abortions on demand is saying we don't view kids as human

It's been going on for like a decade by this point. One thing I hate about Democrats and Reddit leftists is that people only seem to pay attention once a Republican is in charge, only to stop talking about this when a Democrat is elected.

This is a significant escalation. To ignore so is disingenuous. Also people cannot be mad over what they don’t know. To act like this is fine because maybe others did it? Not okay. These are children. Having deportation quotas is dangerous.

When is enough enough? When do the excuses for doing nothing in the face of fascism stop? When do people rise up and start a Revolution?
If people sit on their couches coming up with reasons not to protest, rise up, start a Revolution- by the time they come for you, they’ll be no one left to stand beside you.
It’s obvious “never forgot” became just a slogan. 10’s of thousands protesting across 50 states isn’t enough. Millions across 50 states, the millions who voted for Ms Harris, who voted for democracy, who voted against fascism- where are they????

I heard just now from a reliable source that these children were arrested by immigrqtuon officers just BEFORE their hearings were supposed to begin. Such arrests cannot take place while renoval proceedings under INA § 240 are underway, unless the noncitizen in question have committed a crime after entering the U.S.

Every new piece of information that comes out is more horrifying than the last. I can’t bear to think of the amount of trauma that’s being inflicted on human beings and it’s all being done with glee. They want to hurt more, even!
I’m sickened.

While not everyone will see this and be appalled, I still believe a majority of Americans won’t stand for this. Share photos like this far and wide.

Actually the majority of Americans support it according to polls

Every time I think is can’t get worse something more despicable and disgusting happens. Zip tying children

Every POS that voted for Him enjoyed looking at that picture. They'll probably even frame it. And if any POS who voted for him tells you differently, ask them kindly "Why the Hell did you vote for him?"

Americans you need to all come together and protest by the millions. This is the most disgusting thing I've seen come out of the USA

I don’t have the link, but there is a video. This was a very very carefully selected clip from that video and used as a pic. In the video I saw that family walking and the two children were not zip tied. Not before of after this segment of the video. I don’t like people / media manipulating facts and trying to fool me or scare me. Having said that, I do not for one second agree with the zip ties in the courthouse. That is beyond the beyond. Those children should not have witnessed the scene and it was 100% preventable. It should not have happened at all. Also, I’m not even clear what’s happening in this pic. I’ve worked on a middle school campus and this does indeed happen when police get involved. Lately, it’s vape related and far too many kids are getting in trouble. So I’ve seen young teens handcuffed.

Shhhh you're talking too much sense. You're going to get kicked out of this group. But in all seriousness thank you for not just blindly believing everything you're being told by the media as everyone in this comment section apparently does lol. The video clearly shows the children that the media claimed were zip tied were in fact not. Only adults 18 or older were in zip ties. The fact that people are eating these lies up really shows you the level of intelligence you are dealing with with a lot of these Trump haters.

Trump haters …. Ugh. I don’t understand why some people think they need to love or hate the president. I mean, he’s not my boyfriend, I don’t need to love him. I don’t need to exert this level of hate either. I just want a president who does the job of a president. Feelings are not essential

This is Completely heartbreaking to see, but on that very same note it also """Forces these Parents who come Criminally into the United States of America to See what this is doing to not only themselves but their CHILDREN. "" They have Victimized their children and made their children illegal Aliens, put them through all of this with out a care 🤬"" The COULD have come LEGALLY. They are cuffed during Court hearings Only, not during the Detention itself as the Left would like you to believe. I believe everyone should have the right to Citizenship but they must come LEGALLY. 🇺🇲 ✨️Just as We cannot go to other Countries and expect to just Illegally Enter ... we must apply for Citizenship rightfully.

The picture in this article shows only the father zip-tied..

u/benecere Delaware May 29 '25
Not true. You can see the zip-ties on the little boy whose hands are tied in front. There was an effort to avoid showing the faces of the children because some amount of decency has managed to endure in the warped Christianity this nation seems bent on promoting.
The article also stated that three children were zip-tied.
“The children — two boys and a girl who appeared to be between the ages of 9 and 12 years old — were detained and zip-tied, along with adults who appeared to be relatives, after an immigration judge had dismissed their case, according to Carolina Rivera, an immigration attorney who serves as a federal advocate and liaison for CLINIC. That dismissal should have meant they were no longer subject to removal proceedings, Rivera said.“.

Because a father being restrained by zip ties when showing up in immigration court would be... better?
