For tens of thousands of US service members with undocumented family members, there’s no guaranteed protection from immigration raids.

    not that I’m encouraging it but I’m kind of surprised that there hasn’t been more violent attacks on ice officers

          My comment is condemning the violence mentioned above, regardless of motive.

          Violent response vilifies the citizen against the officer ‘doing their job.’ That is leveraged to strengthen laws that protect officers, used as more propaganda to grow support for the right, and costs us another resister to incarceration.

          People need to stop suggesting response with emotion and read history. Small scale resistance against fascism has never been successful.

              I’m fully aware of your personal disclosure. That’s why I wrote “people” and not “you.” I was answering your question. Are you always condescending when you don’t understand the context of a reply?

                Oh man, this is the same guy that told me to stop saying what I want to say (oppress my right to free speech) and then resorted to childish name-calling (called me an ass). A bully just like trump. Dude’s all mixed up.

                I don’t care if someone disagrees with me. I’ll listen to someone who can make valid points, but that’s not what a bully does.

    Does the lesson of you are not special have to be learned one at a time forever?

      Why do you think we’re in this situation? Practically, the majority of Americans can only learn things the hard way.

        ‘Majority’ is really the word you wanted to use? Less than 35%, and that’s with a possibly stolen election.

            Yep. A whole lot of people are just checked the fuck out and think “oh, that’s politics”, not realizing that politics will take an interest in them, whether they like it or not.

            And then there are the sanctimonious jackasses that think they would “rise above it all” or whatever by throwing away their vote on a third party or that they’d stay home, all because they were too pure to vote for an imperfect candidate from the Democratic Party.

            I’m sure all that purity will be some comfort…

          Do you think the people who didn’t vote are somehow doing better than the ones who did vote?

        Wait, are you telling me that I’m not going to suddenly be the person making more than 3 million dollars a year for no reason other than going to work every day, having a good attitude, and trying to climb the ranks?

        I only need to average a $1442/hr wage at 40 hour weeks. Wait… that still isn’t enough money to fall into the category of higher taxation that the democrats wanted with their Marxist attitude which was used all throughout the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, and tanked during the 80’s. Kind of a similar trend between taxation and wage stagnation but those aren’t related at all!

      Unfortunately, yes.

      And, as an American, we tend to forget everything after 1-3 years. So you have to teach us again. And again. And again. And-

      You understand, I gather.

    Worst part is that Shirley was going through the process of naturalization and working to be here legally. Through a process the military had put in place for just this exact kind of thing.

    She had no criminal record, has been here for a decade, and has faithfully reported for her hearings. Not to mention she is gainfully employed.

    Why the fuck are we wasting time and resources deporting this person?

      Because America put a deranged convict into, what is arguably the most powerful position in the world. Congress won’t challenge him, so he’s running amok while his party turns a blind eye to the obvious human rights violations that are constantly happening.

      The whole “worst of the worst” line for who that are deporting is, and always has been a lie. They just want POCs to suffer and die because they’re Nazis.

    All sympathy to the innocent woman and child, but to the husband? YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR SCUMBAG. It’s unfortunate that an innocent woman and child you care about had to be affected, but fuck you.

    But on that morning in March, Guardado got a strange phone call at work. Some sort of public safety officer had dialed her office and wanted her to come outside to talk. In the parking lot, three men in plain clothes identified themselves as Department of Public Safety officers, Correa told The War Horse. As Shirly approached, they said her car had been involved in an accident. But when she got close, they grabbed her and handcuffed her, telling her they were ICE agents.

    God damn this is scummy as hell.

    “Correa expressed disappointment in the Trump administration, feeling betrayed after voting for him and serving the country, as he believed only violent criminals would be targeted.”
