One morning, sitting in an immigration office in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen found himself transformed. A day before, he was a welding foreman, a husband and father of four.
Now, he was a detainee, bound and shackled in a detention shuttle in Tennessee.

Is it wrong what happened? Absolutely. But they found it okay before he was taken.

I’m sure they thought the husband did nothing wrong being in the county illegally for 10 yrs and the current government would only go after “the bad ones.”
they can’t even locate the man in the system.
But we still support the detention and trafficking program for “the other ones”.
This has not brought light to their hearts or brains.
These people don’t deserve sympathy, this is what they wanted.
Or since it's a Mississippi rag probably the target audience doesn't want to hear that they will go after their own supporters; guessing self reflection isn't a strong suit there.

It doesn't matter who they are when the problem is what the pigs are doing.
BECAUSE 👏 THEY 👏 VOTED 👏 FOR 👏 IT.
They wanted cruel immigration policies and they got them. This should be positioned as a celebration piece for these people - not a sob story.
Look at the evil and how it harms even its own.
Your hate for these people is not a good reason to condone fascism.
How does the poem go again?
scales fallen from their eyes? A followup would be great.
Take a hard look at yourself and your desire to see people hurt and punished.
Now they want help?
But it feels important to note in a story that specifically says they were told this wouldn’t have happened under the Biden administration.
They deserve help and compassion and fair treatment. It’s also fair game to ask why they voted for this.
I don’t have any interest in the schadenfreude aspect. I do think it’s wholly relevant in a story that says specifically they were told this wouldn’t have happened under the previous admin.
Not as a gotcha, but I’m legitimately interested in their perspective.
It wouldn’t hurt their begging campaign or their case. Look at them
This will create more angry people

Cheap shot. As a labeled “cracker” & “honkey” down in Florida (y’all think whites are the only racists?), I know Dr King was right: judge by the character not the color.
Liberals sure are the good guys 👍
my sympathy is with the kids

The last time we claimed Roam was just in time for WW1. Interesting times ahead my friends.
