The humanitarian duty would have been to never encourage millions of people to enter our country illegally.

Do you think, for the majority of them, that they just decided to get up and immigrate here just because they felt like it? No, it's because their countries are unstable and lack economic opportunities. The U.S is partly to blame given its long history of interference in Latin American affairs. Yes, there are bad people among them and open borders isn't a solution.

But what Trump is doing is criminal but that's who he is. ICE needs to be abolished whether you like it or not. They're murdering innocents. It's a shame and a stain on our country that immigration reform hasn't been en-acted.

Moo....this has happened a few times. The powers that be make a statement before they have any info or video. Like FBI detaining wrong shooter. Just weird they keep making the same mistake. The powers lied before they had information.

Moo...they are getting a $50,000 sign up bonus...and a lot of small print. Hell lots of people are going to apply. Not every one that applied and got work is going to want to be an enforcer some probably do not even like or agree with their work environment. As usual it is the management that is the problem...moo

If Trump won't do it, the government need to rally and stop ICE operations immediately until a full investigation occurs. This interaction is more evidence of how unhinged the behaviours of some of these ICE agents are, and how dangerous it is to arm and deploy agents like this, releasing them on the community with this type of attitude and 'god complex' IMO.

With this video going public, in a democratic society you would immediately see him withdrawn from duty, investigated and possibly fired, even if only for the risk he might bring to the government. Will be interesting to see how the government responds.

That guy was seconds away from attack mode, you could see it in his eyes, right on the edge.

DHS is going to investigate themselves.

Moo... The new masked ice, does not look cool. The world is kinda saying.. what are you doing

Moo... I spent time in a south American country decades ago that had martial law. They were pretty polite, want to check my backpack no problem. Going thru check points always have booze or cash available. The citizens learned to adapt...

If we can call a review an investigation. (as per this post)

The Trump administration appeared to acknowledge on Monday that its investigation into the killing of a Veterans Affairs nurse, Alex Pretti, by federal agents this weekend was limited to a “use of force” review meant to establish whether government employees had violated training standards.

Such a move, disclosed in court filings, would represent a much narrower inquiry focused on tactics and conduct than one that would examine whether federal agents should face criminal charges....

Moo..are there other countries that deal with their people this way? The things I did not understand was why person was pushed, and then then the spray. Worst thing for me to watch was the guy just bashing him...I don't think that's legal. Hate to see how they treat those they do arrest

There are, but they often don't even pretend to be democratic.

MOO

Protecting neighbors, friends, families & employees

Workers at their neighborhood businesses they frequent

I have interaction with humans at my favorite restaurants, stores or service employees needed in my home

I don’t ask anyone if one is this county legally or not, or assume because of skin color or accent they aren’t citizens but I’d sure help protect them from abuse and tearing from family and community

We live in a multicultural melting pot on this planet and are ALL human beings

This story crossed my radar today. An Eritrean refugee, in the USA entirely legally, is detained at her apartment by ICE in front of her teenage children. Even though one of those children show the ICE agents documents proving that their mother is there legally, they drag her away, shackle her, fly her to Texas, and only then bother to check and realise that she is indeed in America legally. They then chuck her out onto the street and expect her to find her own way back to Minnesota.

And then people wonder why ordinary Minnesotans, including Renee Good and Alex Pretti, organise themselves to try and protect their friends, neighbours and colleagues.

Minnesota Refugees Detained by ICE ‘Had Done Everything Right’

Dozens of refugees with valid status have been sent from Minnesota to Texas to be revetted, prompting a lawsuit. Those released have had to pay their way back.

Sure there are - Russia, Iran, North-Korea, et al.

Moo... if this major push of ice was in all major cities it would not look so intense. But me ( cannot speak for other people)out side of USA, seems kinda politically personal

 

[Charlot123]

But do they all have warrants signed by a judge? That's a question I'd like a definitive answer to...it's important, according to The Constitution.

And having to carry your birth certificate and/or passport for ID. A regular driver's license just not good enough, not even a Real ID which can get you on a plane and even inside a nuclear facility.

If you don't have ID they're happy with, you get carted away to mostly out of state places for who knows how long. And this is happening to citizens. Wouldn't anybody resist and speak up for themselves or others, especially if they started roughing you or some other unfortunate person up? I certainly would.

I'd say, IMO, until well trained real LE who know that people have rights and respect that show up, it is a humanitarian issue to being very concerned about...as an American. AJMO

On a FB of my friend, a group of US-born FB users was discussing what documents should they get/have. (Not everyone in the country has a passport. People were scared.) In my state, there is an enhanced driver’s license that we got to drive to Canada. It is a valid proof of citizenship which is currently available in five states: MN, MI, WA, NY and VT. Ohio is going to introduce it, too. MOO, the whole country should probably use them.

But tbh, I would be concerned about the need to take passport everywhere. Passports may get lost or stolen.

Profiling is a true problem. How is ICE in Minnesota going to explain this?

Oglala Sioux Tribe says three tribal members arrested in Minneapolis are in ICE detention

The president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota said three of the four tribal members detained by ICE agents in Minneapolis last week have been transferred to an ICE facility and called for their immediate release

abcnews.go.com

Three of the four natives arrested by ICE in Minnesota have not been yet accounted for.

They are Natives. They can’t be deported. And they are unhoused, and might be sick. Where are they?

With the Natives, we have one more obvious problem. They have dual citizenship: tribal and the US one. Tribal cards I have seen, they are small. Would that be enough, or do Natives have to get passports now?
