Due process is for everyone.
It can’t just be for the “perfect” victims or the people we like and empathize with.
We have to agree that no one deserves to be grabbed off the streets and disappeared.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

But I don't want to hear a goddamn thing about suicide prevention from an account that, while blatantly plagiarizing an article from Wired, surgically removed the word "suicide" from the text.
