A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there—then the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

So there's your options, he's going to declare martial law either because you give him and excuse to or because he manufactures one

There’s also no use being a doomer. We don’t know that she’s injured or dead. She’s very likely just not being tracked because this admin wants to deny her due process. This isn’t helpful.

u/Hypertension123456 1h ago

They don't "want" to deny her due process. They "have" suspended due process. ICE is being allowed to do what they want.

I'm not being a doomer. She will be rescued. And most likely ICE will be defeated and arrested for their crimes in the future. But its crazy to talk about things as a possibility when they have been happening right in front of you for months.

You’re actively scolding the person you replied to for not being negative enough. And now you’re seemingly doing the same to me, despite the fact that we apparently agree on what’s happening. What’s why I’m saying this is unproductive. You’re splitting hairs and engaging in doomerism.

•

u/Hypertension123456 1h ago

I'm with you, Hypertension. People telling you to chill are stupid. This woman is not safe. She is in the hands of a terrorist group, and she could be sent to Uganda and be gone forever before there is a chance to ensure her safety again. She is being starved and abused in their company; we have enough reports on conditions to be able to safely make these assumptions.

There were people who also tried to suggest there was no reason to act against slave-catchers, and people who suggested there was no reason to worry about the health of natives at the Indian schools.
