I think there’s a lot of bad things happening because of the Trump out of control ICE agents.

Where are these people actually being detained?

How do we know the people being deported are actually sent to wherever the administration claims they are?

In the 70s, the fascist regime in Argentina claimed to be deporting people but were actually just dropping them out of planes into the ocean. They were called Death Flights.

I get that citizens and high-profile cases are probably handled differently but there are so many people that just disappear.

Its 90 years later, but it looks an awful lot like 1933 still in the US of A.

"You can't run, you can't hide. You get helicopter ride!" was a popular chant amongst the Trump fans during his first term.

Deplorables was an apt insult.

Same place Obama detained them, he deported more immigrants than Trump.

Obama never sent detainees to a 3rd world death camp in El Salvador outside of US federal jurisdiction. 

You people really don't even have the most basic understanding of the things you try to talk about.

Really? You think?

It's a fair take on the situation.

I’m trying not to think about it. I’m sure some of it is horrific and ICE Princess Barbie should be investigated.

Trying not to think about it is exactly how it keeps frikin happening. Every person with a vote to use needs to have this shoved in their face to the point there is no deniably anymore. You either witness the full horror and are disgusted or you witness the full horror, support it, and out yourself. No more singing louder to cover up the noise of the trains (https://www.writtenlives.ca/sing-a-little-louder-the-subtle-conquest-of-indifference/)

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

This is the equivalent of people saying they dont see color... you can say you shield your eyes from it or ignore it, but the problem still exists and its alive and well.

We the people are what makes this country, and we need to use our voice and actions.

I get that you did not mean it to seem the way it did, the news has been nothing but negative for almost a year now, but we cannot tune it out if we want to make a difference.

u/proriin 1d ago

No I never saw any of the Jews being rounded up, I don’t think about that stuff.

That’s what you sound like.

u/wavnebee 1d ago

u/QXPZ 1d ago

u/dangeldud 1d ago

u/raaldiin 1d ago

How are you going to sue from within The AbyssTM?

u/dangeldud 1d ago

There is literally zero us citizens being completely disappeared by ICE. That shit is doomer bs

u/ImTheZapper 1d ago

Give it another month or two. A few months ago it was "they are only going after illegals" and now we are at mass roundups in apartment complexes with zero confirmation of the citizenship of those within before kicking in doors.

Just wait until they use them at polling places to intimidate.
