… one thing seems clear: ICE rousted American citizens from their apartments during the middle of the night and detained them — in zip ties no less — for far longer than the ‘brief’ period authorized by the operative regulation … and envisioned by the Perdomo concurrence,” wrote Judge Cummings.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

I seriously hope Biden saying “Welcome Home” and inviting Trump to sit by the fire is never forgotten.

One of the most singularly insane moments in the history of human civilization.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Also, ”crackdown on illegal immigration?” THAT’s what you call it? Masked armed goons are abducting U.S. citizens and zip-tying the hands of children! Rappelling from Blackhawk helicopters and flash-banging down doors! SHOOTING people. My God, you are so bad at this.

Which is really the pattern in bipartisan immigration policy. Each just upping the cruelty a notch.

The Dem border bill is a perfect example of how Dems are also in a cult and can be brainwashed to approve anything as long as it's the Dems. That border bill was cruel AF and everything Stephen Miller would have wanted. GOP shut it down b/c they didn't want Dems getting credit for the cruelty.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...
