“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.”
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.
Because suffering and fear is the point
Why the fuck are we wasting time and resources deporting this person?
The even sicker part is that there is an entire cult worth of brainwashed racists all sitting around a table afterwards congratulating eachother for making America ““safe”” and saving their country.
I could throw a plate.
Now off you go to genocide / die for the Israeli empire.
Israel first!
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.
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.
Does the lesson of you are not special have to be learned one at a time forever?
In the rugged individual myth society yeah probably.
Why do you think we’re in this situation? Practically, the majority of Americans can only learn things the hard way.
All humans, not just Americans.
“Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.”
― Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See
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!
/s
‘Majority’ is really the word you wanted to use? Less than 35%, and that’s with a possibly stolen election.
You forgot the 60% or so who are simply enablers
Many of those who didn’t vote also learn the hard way.
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?
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.
“Obviously nobody else is special because just I am, duh”
-these fuckin’ guys
not that I’m encouraging it but I’m kind of surprised that there hasn’t been more violent attacks on ice officers
You need only 1 guard per 100 slaves.
Until the slaves start facing starvation or hunger, they’ll never revolt.
That’s the neat part: starving slaves too often are busy with survival, they have “families to feed”, they have no time for revolutions. But caution is needed, yes. So keep your slaves hungry but not starving and they’ll never revolt.
Well that’s a dumb myth. Even with a heavily armed guard, they could not fight 100 people and win in almost any situation.
That isn’t the point. The point is that a single heavily armed guard is enough to deter a hundred people from even trying to fight until they are desperate.
The point is that, even though those hundred people would win a fight, and even if they know it themselves, those hundred people are individuals. Unless they are desperate, none of those individuals are willing to stick their neck out to fight.
We see this in prisons. We saw this under slavery. We saw this in concentration camps. A few armed people are sufficient to suppress lots of unarmed people. Sometimes the unarmed revolt, and when they do, they often succeed if they are willing to take massive casualties. That doesn’t change the fact that they rarely try to revolt in the first place.
It isn’t important. A guard can be non-armed except for a club. Slaves won’t attack. Because they are slaves.
I mean, slave revolts have happened numerous times in history. I think you need to educate yourself more on this.
Yes, and between those revolts, there were NO revolts for very long periods of time.
I don’t say that revolts are impossible, I say that they are rare and happen only under very special circumstances. If slave revolts were norm, then slavery wasn’t a thing ever, because guards were always in the minority.
I think you need to educate yourself more on this.
And I think that you don’t think.
a simple internet search would prove you wrong
Facepalm.
Small-scale violence excites and emboldens fascism. It will not stop it.
All I’m hearing is that we should be using large-scale violence.
We’ve done it before.
The OG Antifa?
Absolutely.
And honestly, I’m convinced that that generation more or less fully dying out in the last decade or so (and I mean across the western world, not just in the states) was a pretty direct cause of this fascist resurgence, because everyone who was a part of getting rid of fascism the hard way last time around is in the ground.
The thought does scare me and even though I’m pretty sure it has its critics, that 80 year cycle thing does make me wonder - given the (current) average human lifespan, there might be something to it.
All that wisdom dies off and has to be re-learned. Kind of like all the idiots learning about vaccines right now.
If we can get large scale protest, we won’t need violence.

I’m talking about defending yourself, not attacking anything.
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.
Again… no one reads.
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.
I didn’t ask a question, I made a statement. Again, no one reads.
You’re a spectacular dick, aren’t you?
Correa expressed disappointment in the Trump administration, feeling betrayed after voting for him…
Ya this guy and go eat shit
If you are even vaguely Latino in this country, it could happen to you at any moment. Nobody is safe.
If you are even vaguely
Latinobrown in this country, it could happen to you at any moment. Nobody is safe.*points at native americans being detained*
They have gotten some very tanned white folk too. Hense why no one wants to go to a tanning bed where the point was to look darker.
And they won’t stop there. Fascism needs a constant supply of new enemies, and sooner or later you will find yourself in its sights.
Yeah I mean they are literally trying to drum up a causus belli for war on liberal states right now. I’m sure they won’t stop trying even if they can’t goad protesters to violence.
I am a white appearing half Latino—there but by the grace of god go I. I take this fight personally.
I’m surprised by how many latinos (according to research) genuinely believe they are part of the American “white” ethno-fascist in-group. It’s unbelievably bizarre.
In my case, I was born here, raised here, and only know English. Both of my parents wanted me to be as Americanized as possible. I have almost no visible Latino traits.
Despite the odds, I have found myself really resonating with Latino culture as I have gotten older, and have been heavily considering moving south. I am very aware of the privilege I have in this country due to the dice roll of how I look. If my brown brothers and sisters ever want a double agent around here, they’ve got my number.
They probably don’t want a double agent. Those are the ones who secretly spy for the other side while pretending to spy for you.
As long as nobody looks at my last name I’m WASP as fuck.
We could make such an awesome cell of double agents.
Double agents are double crossing everyone. I think you mean spy or saboteur.
I thought a double agent was someone who pretends to be an agent for one group, but are actually an agent for another. For instance, in my half baked fantasy, I would get a job with ICE, but feed information to The League of Extraordinary Mariachi while always finding a way to make the cuffs too loose so the prisoners just happen to escape.
No, double agent is in group 1, they spy on group 2. In the process they get recruited by group 2. Then spies for both groups.
Just in time to be sent to Iran. I’m sure the kids will be fine!
I wonder who he voted for.
This post says he voted for Trump
Tots and Prayers🙏
Ohh … ok in that case … I guess he learned something about his decisions…next he needs to learn that fire = hot and water = wet 😏
I am sure this guy thought, “Well it won’t happen to me…”, but sadly, Trumpism is happening to all of us.
HaveTheDayYouVotedFor.jpg
I didn’t see it mentioned here or elsewhere what party the Sgt has a associated with, but it did mention the party (Democrat) of another officer. The omission of this speaks volumes though.
This other article mentions it:
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.
Jesus man like how can people be this dense
Like it doesn’t even affect me personally except some abstract way because I’m European but still. Is it ignorance? Stupidity? Like I get you can listen to Fox News all day or the even more fringe ones… but isn’t there a choice? Get outta here
fox news is their religion. have you ever tried to logic someone out of their religion? its fucking impossible.
What is that old adage? You cannot reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into…
