There's just so much to say, yet I can't seem to find the right words. Border patrol needs to show more restraint. Those kids will likely be traumatized and for no reason.

Wow! Yes, I agree with RandivWeingarten's comment.

Last I checked, schoolchildren don’t carry proof of citizenship on school trips or anywhere else. What did these fools hope to accomplish?

Why is there even a border patrol checkpoint *north* of Las Cruces? And how long has it been there?

drlisa.bsky.social•3 days ago

I live in Las Cruces. To leave the area I have to go through a checkpoint about 25 miles north, 25 miles west, or going east past El Paso.

They must have moved it bc I remember returning from a weekend in Juarez that it was 100 miles up I-25.

Years. The border zone runs 100 miles north of the border. I live in southern Arizona. I can't go to the grocery without passing through an informal border patrol check.

hamburglarhimbo.bsky.social•3 days ago

This have changed since I used to drive I-10 semi regularly.

bethmeacham.bsky.social•3 days ago

They have few checkpoints east-west. But many north-south.

Papieren, bitte. In America. Oh, hell no.

I say this with all the civility I can muster (and they deserve): Fuck ICE.

The agents’ primary objective was to verify the legal status of the passengers,” the statement said. “After completing the verification process, all individuals were confirmed to be legally present in the country, and the agents disembarked without incident.” Illegal racial profiling. Not normal.

herronbird.bsky.social•3 days ago

They are using official sounding language to normalize an unconst search of a private bus. They should have told them to fuuuuuck all the way off without a warrant. This is Nazi shit-DEMANDING BROWN PEOPLE SHIW THEIR PAPERS IS NOT NORMAL and the headline should reflect that and not quote this Nazi

I wish they would stop saying Trump Administration and start calling it the Trump Regime, which is so much more accurate.

Can we stop with the raising concerns and get out to that bus!???

justannief.bsky.social•3 days ago

Disgusting. These people doing this are trump Nazis.

“Union leaders said the incident has already caused distress among students and families.”

Cruelty and abuse of children is the Republican goal and strategy.

Meanwhile in DC, a philandering Republican congressman physically abuses his girlfriend and the Trump toady DA refuses to press charges.

Border patrol should not have been allowed on a bus carrying minors. Period. These goons are getting carried away.

47ivy.bsky.social•3 days ago

They are disgusting and I would bet that many ICE agents have criminal records.

If I were still in Cruces and that happened to my kids I'd be knocking on doors for EVERYONE to sue. I saw last week they tried that shit with the Mescalero Apache. Fucking feds.

lynww.bsky.social•3 days ago

What kind of human would board a bus carrying a swim team, or any other type of school group, and do this?
Where are your morals - Border Patrol??????

bethmeacham.bsky.social•3 days ago

They don't have any. They are Trump's storm troopers. Their goal is to terrify and subdue anyone who isn't white.

“A lot of our constituents tell me the border crossed them — not the other way around,” Vasquez said. “We want to protect that history, that culture, and the traditions without fear of being singled out or deported.”

This seems to be a key point… meriting respect.
