> Liam Ramos, a preschooler, and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway... Liam and his father had just arrived home when they were detained... the father’s car was still running...
> An agent had taken Liam out of the car, led the boy to his front door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in, “in order to see if anyone else was home – essentially using a five-year-old as bait”
> Stenvik said another adult living in the home was outside during the encounter and had pleaded to take care of Liam so the boy could avoid detention, but was denied...
> Marc Prokosch, an attorney representing the family, said the family had an active asylum case and shared paperwork showing the father and son had arrived to the US at a port of entry, meaning an official crossing point.
> “The family did everything they were supposed to in accordance with how the rules have been set out,” he said. “They did not come here illegally. They are not criminals.” He said there was no order of deportation against them.
Did we watch the same video? She was harassing ICE agents all day and from the ICE agent's perspective, he had no way of knowing if she was going to kill him or not while almost running him over.
Hardly what I would call 'murder'.
"So the fact that some comments justify ICE snatching five year olds from street doesn't mean much."
You clearly have no understanding of the situation. Ice was arresting the father and he left the 5-year old boy behind. They actually protected/watched him.
This is why the country is slowly inching toward a civil war.
Stop reading your government propaganda, touch grass (or snow), and get your head screwed on straight by rereading the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.
Never mind that the cathedral's poison was so insidious precisely because it was bundled along with a bunch of actually-worthwhile ideals, responsible for our country's prosperity and leadership position in the world.
But I guess people like you are just too infatuated with destructionist grievance politics and a false dichotomy of blue authoritarianism vs red authoritarianism to wake up to the actual reality of our individual liberties being completely destroyed. Just as long as it happens to "those people" first, amirite?
It feels like I'm writing the same comments I was writing around 2014-2016, just to a different flavor of true believer.
America is big and powerful because it 1) has suffered only one catastrophic national event in its entire history (the Civil War), 2) has a huge abundance of natural resources and 3) managed to swoop in at the end of TWO different world wars back-to-back in order to cement itself as the party in the position to reap the most significant advantages. Not because it was universalist.
