Last week, top ICE officials ordered officers to increase arrests and to get “creative” in their methods, including trying to nab people the officers happen to encounter in what are known as “collateral arrests.” The orders come in the wake of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller setting a quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day, along with a sharp rise in protests against the crackdown.
In Westbury, the HSI agents didn’t respond to the gathered crowd. After a few minutes, the agents drove away. A commotion erupted down the road, off-camera, and onlookers began rushing toward the corner.
One of the Nissans, carrying two of the HSI agents, had crashed into a black pickup truck that happened to be passing through the intersection. Three eyewitnesses told The Intercept that the agents’ car had sped away. Two of the witnesses believe the Nissan blew a stop sign, causing the crash. (Nassau County police referred questions about the accident to ICE, which did not respond to an inquiry.)
“collateral arrests”= unconstitutional and kidnapping.
And “anti-law enforcement agitators” = non-whites who don’t want their children kidnapped.
These fucking people are sick…
Cops aren’t people.
Yeah, they are. Dehumanization is not okay “if my side is doing it.”
I think you’re attacking the symptom rather than the disease.
And i think they chose inhumanity. To call them human would not only be an insult to us, but disregarding their own self identification and chosen identity. Imposing that identity against its will seems a violation of its autonomy.
“They chose inhumanity”
Jesus fucking Christ… You really think you have the high ground with this kind of thinking, don’t you?
Hate only breeds hate. When you dehumanize your enemies, you already lost.
