Not fucking this again. This is so dishonorable, in addition to being inhumane. This is the kind of thing that should be beneath us even at our worst.
An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.”

ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal.

Bad and getting worse. This is the sort of abuse conservatives used to worry about, not embrace.
