USA is no longer free, nor safe, given that officers are disappearing people.

koblbird.bsky.social•21 days ago

Officers have been disappearing people for a looooong ass time.

dhlovelife.bsky.social•21 days ago

it was never about "removing criminals"...

dishcommish.bsky.social•21 days ago

If it was they'd remove themselves.

stanton.bsky.social•21 days ago

It was always about gathering up human sacrifices

mfwic1667.bsky.social•22 days ago

This is a particularly cruel tool ICE is using. They stake out places immigrants have to go such as courts and then net them up like so many fish. ICE stalks immigrants wherever they think they can fill their quotas. The "worse of the worse" and "gang bangers" don't usually frequent those places.

It sure looks like immigrants should no longer comply with "check-ins" because they're likely to be kidnapped & sent to a hellhole and or deported?

Why do these meetings have to take place in person? During Covid, I recall other types of cases conducted via zoom. Is there a reason a judge couldn't do the same now?

noisybrooklyn1.bsky.social•21 days ago

People trying to do the right things & they still get disappeared. 😢

Also, these arresting ICE officers shouldn't be wearing face coverings. They are public servants & need to show their faces.

I am convinced the Trump regime is making money off these victims. Human trafficking, sending them to different locations in his global gulag.

noisybrooklyn1.bsky.social•21 days ago

They for sure are profiting from human tragedy whether they invest in the planes or prisons. Their entire ethos is, “how can we make money from this?”

ellocust.bsky.social•21 days ago

They are secret police.

Correct.

MAGAts hate the idea of wearing masks to avoid spreading disease, but somehow it’s okay to mask up when the goal is ruining the lives of brown people

Serious question 🤔 Is there a legal way that immigrants can send someone to represent them in immigration court in place of themselves? I mean other than a lawyer, many people immigrant or not can't afford one. Like maybe a willing US citizen whom they trust friend, relative, etc.?

Trump has given criminals power, and they need to hide their faces.

If we ever get past this nightmare, I hope their lives are ruined.

Please add alt-text when sharing images, so that blind and low-vision people aren't excluded from the conversation. Some context and copy/paste or a brief description are often enough. Checking the "reminder to add alt-text" box in your accessibility settings helps a lot.

Thank you.

Domestic terrorism on our soil is sad to see.

ridem24.bsky.social•21 days ago

This is why the mayor of NY got pardoned, so he would allow these terrorists into the city and most likely benefit off of this like so many other criminals are doing.

stanton.bsky.social•21 days ago

That's what the Trump administration explicitly stated when Trump forced the courts to stop prosecuting Adams, that he will be free provided he becomes an accomplice to Trump's human trafficking scheme, or he'll never survive the renewed prosecution

innovolution.bsky.social•21 days ago

Barely a glimpse of the crap, abuse, fraud and waste of taxpayers money
This is when smart people become sick with the Robbing Hood stupidity
Progress is not made by taking from the rich to give to the poor
This the largest lie in history, used to pave the way for an ideology that should not exist

inresponse.bsky.social•21 days ago

Start doing Zoom immigration hearings again instead of in person

peregrinekate.bsky.social•21 days ago

That’s an idea

Where are the legislators? Can no one think through a path to citizenship to help the productive immigrant be a permanent part of the American prosperity? Where is that legislation??

vernon-haltom.bsky.social•21 days ago

Those immigrants who are on the legal path to citizenship find it blocked by ICE Gestapo who abduct them when they come to their citizenship hearings.

philipwill.bsky.social•21 days ago

Hint: It was never about undocumented migrants but always about the colour of their skin.

It’s an ethnic cleansing, do not kid yourself that it’s anything else.

A chilling quote: "The hallways outside the courtroom were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave ... ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."

mikecook82.bsky.social•21 days ago

The sick irony of using the fact these people are following the rules and obeying the law to target them. The regime will force law abiding immigrants into hiding, forcing them to evade the now weaponized laws they were trying to follow. It’s like they’re manufacturing “illegal” immigrants.

victorytwin.bsky.social•21 days ago

Especially when they remove the TPS

weboptimist.bsky.social•21 days ago

Immigration meetings should be moved online as much as possible. ICE goons are targeting these meetings to grab people without due process, people who are just following the law.

ICE is the new Gestapo.
