Key excerpts:

The family had been staying with a relative in Los Angeles for the previous seven months after crossing the border legally for a court appointment through the now-defunct CBP One App to seek asylum in October of last year. They had been granted parole status in the U.S. while they waited for their day in immigration court.

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying," Mukherjee said. “The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours.”

The 6-year-old boy has been diagnosed with leukemia and has missed a medical appointment to be treated for worsening symptoms

The Texas Civil Rights Project says the family has been placed in expedited removal, which allows for rapid deportation without a court hearing. The family’s attorneys fear they could be deported before their lawsuit is heard.

    I do not care the reason, if you have scared a 6 year old so bad he’s pissed himself, then you are indeed the “baddie”…

    No child should suffer this kind of trauma at the hand of an adult. And if they do, than that adult responsible needs the ever lovin’ shit beat out of them. Period. End of sentence.

    the fact that ICE is targeting anyone at immigration court tells us all exactly how hateful they and this admin is. these are people who are literally going through the legal system of immigration. they are not the same criminals that are publicly being talked about by the administration.

    ice is specifically targeting good people because it’s easy to get the list. using courts, using IRS fillings, profiling on the streets.

    they are lazy. ice is purposefully not doing the work of finding and stopping real criminals. they are doing everything they can to avoid criminals. they are cowards, lazy cowards who only pretend to love this country but really they love the feeling they get when their boot is on someone’s neck.

          This is posted on (dot) world, which is basically reddit but slightly left of center.

          In other words, mods will remove anything that maybe might be construed in a way that messes with the status quo of the rich and polititicians stomping their boot down on those they deem below them.

          Whether mods agree with my phrasing or not, that’s what’s happening. I’m sure they’d prefer to frame it as “making sure our community doesn’t get taken down by The Man”

            Yeah they keep using that line about being taken down, even though there has never been a lemmy instance taken down. We can also point out .ml as an example of shit not being taken down even though it’s quite literally calling for death of millions of people.

            I just think .world mods are slightly right of center.

          Follow them from a distance. Gps their vehicle if you can get close enough. Volunteer to be one of them to gather info. I’m sure there are lots more ways. Some are obviously more dangerous, and a person should not do something if they think it is sure to fail.

            Volunteering to be one of them will force you to be committing atrocities, in my opinion. I’m also not sure how to GPS their vehicle either considering that they are using work cars and most trackers like AirTags will report to nearby phones after a while to prevent stalking.

            The issue that I’m seeing is this: ICE agent is doing bad things while fully masked. You follow or track them back to the station. They enter the station and disappear. A bunch of people in normal clothes come out at the end of their shift and go to their personal cars.

            How do you know which one is the janitor and which one is the person you observed committing a crime against humanity?

        As a white person, it is taking a surprisingly large amount of energy to not go dig out our 9mm in my FIL’s gun safe and shoot these cowardly assholes on sight.

        These are real people that are being directly affected by the heinous acts of ICE; and I fear they won’t stop unless they have something to fear themselves.

          I do not advocate violence In any way shape or form. What I do say is that Thiel and his ilk are the main threat and that rump is just project 25’s little puppet. Thiel and his gang are the real threat and need to be put into the spotlight as soon as possible to get project 2025 dismantled quickly.

          I plan to call out Thiel every time I see a post regarding his little orange puppet.

          Is this clear enough for you post deleter ? Am I no longer hurting your assumptions of people’s intentions?

          Here is a definition of the words removed and dismantled. Please note that nowhere in the description is there mention violence of either of these.

          Definition: of removed: “distant in degree of relationship”

          Definition of dismantled: “to disconnect the pieces of”

          I really, really dislike when someone makes assumptions about whether or not I am a violent person. Shame on you whoever removed my post and I plan to escalate this before this platform becomes worse than Reddit.

          Again I do not advocate violence but I do think Thiel and game should be stopped ASAP.

            “Reason: advocating violence”

            I see no advocation for violence, just the truth about people who need to be removed from power.

            And I absolutely LOVE the implied “you can complain about all violence toward you but don’t you DARE even suggest doing the same thing that’s being done to you”

            Yes masters, we should all die quietly.

    I would love to hear from the children of these monsters. I would despise my dad if he was an ice agent. I would say im surprised at how easy these people give up their humanity when given the order to, but I know enough about history to remember that fascism shows us what these guys are capable of when they’re off the leash.
