I was wondering how anyone could take part in the cruelty of ICE. We can look to history for the answer.

Female Nazi concentration camp guards: the true horror lies in their similarities to ourselves
Women guards are often portrayed as masculinised sadists, but the more prosaic – and shocking – truth is they were often just normal women who acclimatised to the brutality of the Nazi regime.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 43 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.
This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Full North Korea.
Everyone has to start by praising him, then give him an update on what they’re doing, all due to him and his vision…then end by thanking him.
It’s stomach churning.
I’ve never been in a leadership meeting like it in my life.

Finally some positive news from Missouri.
ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.
Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head.
He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison.
Bring them back!

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
