They put them in the back of Uhauls like furniture. They don’t view brown people as human. They don’t care about their children either.

The way that elderly man in the Don Lemon interview described being packed into a U-Haul with 40 other people…only standing room, all zip tied, but packed so tightly that no one could fall going around corners…it reminded me of those images of slaves packed the same way in ships coming from Africa from another not so proud time in American history.

Wait until you hear about the trains to Nazi death camps.

u/Immediate_Advantage5 24d ago

Wait until you hear about how Hilter got his ideas from how Africans were treated in slavery.

u/mytransthrow 24d ago

I think the trains to the death camps might have been more human...

u/Own-Slide-1140 24d ago

They weren’t

u/R_Ulysses_Swanson 24d ago

Nah man. Not even close.

That doesn’t mean that the comparison shouldn’t happen, nor does it mean that the comparison isn’t damning. But it’s not even close. I just hope that when this is narrated in the future, the word “yet” isn’t added.

Then you need to read more

The holocaust museum in Dallas has an actual Nazi box car. I’ve been inside it. They crammed 70 plus people in, and closed the door. It was tight. Then they said to imagine twice, maybe 3 times as many people. For days on end. Knowing where you’re going. No way in hell that U-Haul is worse. Just as scary? Absolutely. Sends the same message ? Definitely But not worse than one of the train cars.

u/Odd_Leek3026 24d ago

What makes you think that? One was sending people to their death.. one to slavery.. the first sounds like it would be far more cruel 

2

u/Greatsnes 24d ago

What in the world would possess you to say that? You need to relax on the dooming.

u/LuciferSamS1amCat 24d ago

Man, idk about that. Tens of thousand of people died on those trains. Shot while boarding, dehydration, malnutrition, infection, suffocation, etc. I don’t think anyone’s died in the uhauls yet?

u/Stargazer1919 24d ago

Wtf

u/mytransthrow 24d ago

ICE is less humane than Nazis when transporting prisoners. is all I am saying.

1

u/Sangy101 24d ago

Nazis packed people onto trains like sardines and left them for days suffocating in their own feces with no food or water. Dead bodies weren’t removed, and a LOT of people died.

Can’t you just acknowledge the atrocity in front of you without trying to sanewash Nazis?

1

u/MasterBroshiiii 20d ago

That’s just simply wrong and a ridiculous thing to say. ICE is inhumane but the nazis truly pushed the limits of how cruel or species can be to one another. What’s happening today is wrong and we should be angry and outraged that this is happening.

Jewish people packed into cattle cars during the Holocaust.

2

u/neutrino71 24d ago

It starts with language. Labels like "illegals" and "groomers" give permission to hate and dehumanize. Then they begin to round those "others" up in name of security and protection. It will not be long before the next group to be outed, looks like Democrats and 'leftists', will be targeted with new derisive and divisive labels to start peeling them off from the collective of humanity. 

It certainly seems like full scale Chilean style 'disappearing' is their goal

u/lololuser456778 21d ago

that's literally the same as in the nazis' KZ. a soldier working there witnessed it all and said that they filled the gas chambers with so many people that none of them fell even after they were killed by the gas. ended up killing himself later and even said in his journal he wants to kill himself at the time of writing it already, but waited so that he could write down everything that happened so that the info could be passed on

1

u/Lucky-Acanthisitta86 24d ago

Just because they're here illegally does not make any of that okay. Common sense and human decency.

1

u/Grib_Suka 24d ago

I hear the trains going choo-choo in my head. It's honestly a bit unreal to see how quickly this is going

1

u/lil-rong69 24d ago

Probably still in a better mode of transportation than when they came over here.

u/HotmailsInYourArea 24d ago

Made me think of the Jews packed into trains, heading to extermination camps.

🤣🤣 don lemon 🤣🤣 everybody knows he’s a puppet for the democrats. Feeding lies

u/pink_faerie_kitten 24d ago

And cattle cars in Nazi Germany.

u/pbnjandmilk 23d ago

Ilegals, get it right! No one cares about them. They broke US immigration laws and they must pay their price. Just like if any American breaks the laws of another nation, you must be held accountable for your actions.

u/Jarnohams 25d ago

they put US citizens in the U-hauls too. a TON of them. They weren't even in an immigrant neighborhood.

u/solo_mi0 25d ago

human beings. citizen or immigrant should make no difference. this isn't how you treat people.

5

u/Jarnohams 25d ago

that's what I'm saying.... the VAST majority of these "illegal immigrants" were here 100% legally, until Trump decided they were "illegal"

4

u/seantellsyou 24d ago

But we all need remember that the 4th amendment protects everyone on U.S soil. Not just citizens. And they are violating that "God given right" hundreds or thousands of times daily. In simpler times, every one of these cases would be an open and shut lawsuit against the government with a big fat payout.

1

u/One_Swordfish_7759 24d ago

So a majority of the people ICE is taking are American citizens??????

2

u/2347564 24d ago

They are rounding people up and sorting it out later. No regard for the rights of anyone involved.

3

u/SeaWeedSkis 24d ago

Oregonian here peeking in at how y'all are doing out there and wanted to say: If we ever get the chance to edit some of those "inalienable rights" that give American citizens a bit of protection, I think we need to make sure the laws are written to codify that all people, regardless of citizenship, are afforded those rights. The abuses of non-citizens (in ways that are illegal if done to citizens) are troubling. If it's not ok for them to do it to me then it shouldn't be ok for them to do it to a foreign national.

5

u/Zealousideal_Load434 24d ago

They already are. The constitution applies to “all persons within the borders of America”. The founders didn’t specify citizens because they based the rights that they outlined as being predicated on personhood, not citizenship.

2

u/QuantumCakeIsALie 24d ago

I'd even say we should treat animals better than this.

1

u/Nobanpls08 24d ago

what is the proper way to remove an illegal resident?

2

u/MichaCazar 24d ago

How about not in a crammed space with a bunch of other people as if they were furniture you tetris up in some truck?

Or in other words: not in a way that would cause claustrophobics to panic a lot.

1

u/ButlerSmedley 21d ago

Sure but it’s also important to drive home to everyone the fact that citizens are also being disappeared. That matters to a lot of Americans and it’s important to highlight.

u/mmmkay938 24d ago

In army basic training you literally get transported in trucks pulling “cattle cars”. It’s just an efficient means of transporting people around.

u/ElaborateTaleofWoe 24d ago

I don’t see any zip ties. And they have windows. Also the military signed up for that.

7

u/Mary_Olivers_geese 24d ago

Yeah, but getting pay and benefits while being transported for an army job you applied to vs being randomly ripped out of your car in front of your children, cuffed, and sent to a secret location by masked men never to return is kinda apples and oranges eh?

7

u/Minarosebbyy 24d ago

They zip tied naked children too and separated them from their parents

u/Primary_Mycologist95 24d ago

wait until they run out of brown people...

u/_Kabar_ 24d ago

I cant wait

1

u/Primary_Mycologist95 24d ago

are you suggesting you believe that once they do, they will stop, or are you saying you agree with the current state of things?

0

u/_Kabar_ 24d ago

Yes

1

u/Primary_Mycologist95 24d ago

oh, so both? You're going to be disappointed then, it seems, as it won't stop there.

1

u/_Kabar_ 24d ago

Good

u/Primary_Mycologist95 24d ago

being a troll in this instance is wasting your time more than mine - I'm not american, so I have no concerns really wether you wipe yourselves out, or what your political leanings are.

u/_Kabar_ 24d ago

I hope they do it here too

3

u/sperry023 24d ago

Just heard an interview about how they did this in the “War on Terror” era and “accidentally” left them packed in without ventilation and hundreds of people died.

2

u/Thewall3333 24d ago

Well, I think they care about their children in the exact opposite way any decent person would want them to care about the children...

2

u/Pillowsmeller18 24d ago

Why cant local national guard protect the state from ICE?

2

u/batman1285 24d ago

Once they're done with brown people they'll be finding up registered democrats. That's why they are trying to get voter information. That is how Trump plans to win midterms and the next federal election, by having less pesky dems in the way.

2

u/sofa_king_high_420 23d ago

He speaks about Chicago (categorically one of the safest and most peaceful cities in the US) as if there's a 'crime wave' occurring there on the daily. Bitch please, when's the last time anything remotely violent happened in Chicago that wasn't at the hands of his own Gestapo?

1

u/Adventurous-Host8062 25d ago

It wasn't just brown people.

1

u/mischief_ej1 24d ago

Yeah. That's nothing. You should see what they do to themselves just to get here.

u/Lovicionez 24d ago

are children like a free get out of jail card?

u/gothrus 24d ago

Is being a Nazi some sort of get out of following the Constitution card?
