When ICE Came For A U.S. Citizen And Army veteran

[Toddsterpatriot]

Sadly ICE isn’t focusing on the violent criminal aliens.

You should be outraged about that… but you ain’t

As long as they keep deporting the illegal aliens, I'm happy.

If they set foot on United States soil without our express prior permission then they need to go home and they are fair game.

If they overstayed their visa then they are NOW on US soil without permission and need to go home and are fair game.

The rest is just detail... criminals first... the rest second... and we'll take "seconds" as we go looking for "firsts"...

The Administration said-as-much when it first launched the operation and vast numbers of Americans are fine with that...

An illegal is an illegal, they all need to go. Why would that upset anyone?

Ignoring nothing., Nobody is having their rights taken away. Will's character is in question since it is biased towards neocons and trump hating. I can't help but notice that you always have your blue pom poms for libs. You never offer anything of substance, just more partisan blathering.

That is demonstrably untrue since Retes unequivocally had his rights denied.

 

[Anathema]

Stop kidding yourselves, folks. This is a modern day Gestapo.

GOOD. We need more of that. It’s time this Government put its ******* foot down and made it clear who is in charge.

I would feel some limited sympathy for the guy except that as a veteran he should know better than to question authority figures. If ICE says the facility is closed - it’s closed. Go home.

 

[Rambunctious]

Right on schedule, the low human capital has arrived and they're operating as programmed. Not a single individual or critical thought among them.

I know you are a Bushy too...

Maybe you should start asking that question of your fellow Americans since a majority disagree with you.

The video moved on after the white car was enveloped in tear gas just as the guy said

And the guy WAS arrested and held for days with no charges brought

Those are facts

Really, I didn't see anyone approach the car after he cleared the lane.

Remember that not all of us believe in Rights for everyone, if we believe in Rights at all

Then maybe they need to be deported as well.

If he was only detained 3 hours not a huge deal.

If he was only detained 3 hours not a huge deal.

What about 3 days?

What about 3 days?

Not believing he was held that long. He was a veteran. So nobody believes this. That would be crazy.

It always comes down to you folks refusing the accept the facts.

An officer broke George’s car window. Another pepper sprayed him. They dragged George out of his car and forced him to the ground. One officer put a knee on George’s neck. Another put a knee on George’s back, even though he was not resisting.

Without checking George’s ID, federal agents detained George, transporting him first to a nearby navy base, then to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles, where he was held for three days and nights. George pleaded with them to explain to him why he was being detained and told them that he didn’t want to miss his daughter’s third birthday.

George Will is a long time political pundit, and was a personal friend and advisor to Ronald Reagan. His conservative bona fides are impeccable. He is a conservative's conservative. This means MAGA is sure to dislike him.

When George Will is finding fault with the ICE thugs, then you know we are on the road to fascism for sure.

One day, a brown man arrives for work as a security guard at an agriculture plant. He has a driver's license which identifies him as "Army Veteran". He has a Disabled Veteran license plate. He has an "Iraq Combat Veteran" bumper sticker.

Doesn't matter. He's brown and ICE is blocking the road. He gets out of his car to ask them to let him by so he can get to work. They tell him that due to an immigration raid, the facility is shut down.

This is a lie.

ICE begins deploying tear gas to disperse some protesters, so the Iraq war veteran gets back in his car and tries to back his car up, but he is soon in such a massive cloud of tear gas, he can't see. So he stops in order not to hit any other vehicles or pedestrians.

ICE takes this as disobeying an order and they smash his window, pepper spray him, than drag him from the car and zip tie him. Then they leave him on the side of the road for four hours.

He keeps asking them to retrieve his wallet from the car to verify he is a citizen, but they refuse.

He is then taken to Navy facility and imprisoned for three days.

Despite his requesting a lawyer multiple times, he is ignored. When he asks what the charges are, he is met with silence.

After missing his daughter's third birthday, he is released after three days and told the charges have been dropped. "What charges", he asks, and gets a blank stare.

ICE tells more lies about what happend at the road block regarding the combat veteran, not knowing a television helicopter caught it all on video and validate the brown man's story.

Stop kidding yourselves, folks. This is a modern day Gestapo.

Something uncivilized is indeed happening. What jobs, if any, are recruits leaving for the glory of donning battle gear and masks (hiding what from whom?) and roaming U.S. communities, throwing their weight around and throwing unarmed people to the ground?


Retes had never been east of Texas before coming to Washington last week. He and an Institute for Justice attorney (Anya Bidwell, born in Kyrgyzstan, reared in Ukraine, serious about liberty), visited congressional offices urging legislators to facilitate holding federal officials accountable. Retes wants to add the italicized five words to an existing statute:

“Every person who, under color of any statute … of the United States or of any State … subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen … to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured…”


The victim's car is the white car in the video below:
