He was detained outside church. “He was in chains at his feet,” Alondra Sotelo-Garcia told a local news outlet about seeing her father arrested. “Shoelaces were taken off, his belt was off, he didn’t have his ring, he didn’t have his watch. Everything was taken from him.”

So I'll meet you at the bottom, if there really is one They always told me when you hit it, you'll know it But I've been falling too long, it's like gravity's gone And I'm just floatin'

This is monstrous. What were the grounds for detention? How on earth do they justify shackles and removal of belt and shoelaces? Where is the proportionality? Not only do they not inform families and counsel on arrest they refuse to answer family and legal questions about detainee’s whereabouts.

The Guardian reports a second case where a colleague who witnessed an arrest by plain clothes unidentified officers was told asking questions amounted to assaulting an officer and that they would not give a reason for the arrest or say where the suspect was being taken.

The witness was then told she mustn’t follow the officers. How many rights violations do they want to perpetrate today? There needs to be proper reform, the authorities are in breach of trust. Immigration arrests need to require full judicial warrant in all cases.

Additionally, warrants should only permit arrests by uniformed officers in liveried vehicles. Should a plain clothes arrest be wanted permission must be obtained from the judge beforehand, like some jurisdictions require specific permission for hard knock search warrants.

Even Republican butt-kissers like the Oregon Farm Bureau are catching on. Not to the inhumanity & indecency, but to the direct impacts to the only thing they truly care about: their profits. But hey, if they have influence to get it to stop, go Farm Bureau. www.opb.org/article/2025...

opb.orgOregon farm group says rising immigration enforcement is disruptive to agricultureA week after two Oregon wine industry workers were arrested by federal immigration officials, the state’s largest agriculture group is speaking up about the connection between farms and immigrants.

This makes me physically sick. This is less than an hour from my home. The way that Ice and DHS lie about the record and character of detainees to justify their illegal actions is despicable.

The same kind of person that would do these kinds of things within their own families? The kind of person that will say See What YOU Made Me Do? The kind that will do whatever they can to house their own & protect them from being The Targeted People

ICE is working hard and doing more to flip the House and Senate to Democrats in 26 than the Democrats are themselves doing- every raid, every arrest creates votes against this administration and its enablers.

Their intent is to dehumanize and terrorize. The convict is turning us into one of those shit-hole countries he claims to hate so much. Miller needs to find himself on the business end of a rope at some point when this is all done

What happens when you elect a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist that should of served 136 years in prison and paid out $500 million. He had 3 more trials including spying but large sections of America haven't changed in 100 years, he's their guy, I was one of 75 million that didn't want this.

This is Trump's GOP fascist gestapo goons squads. More to do with weaponizing fear and making the American people cower and submit to his fascist subjugation of America.. Hell with that FIGHT

Horrendous. This poor hard working man. His crime was to exist. Will he just disappear? I wonder what will happen to his belongings. Remember the Nazis' huge collections of rings and other jewelry, gold teeth, shoes, etc. discovered by the Allies? More than likely though, the spoils belong to ICE.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. They did this to the Japanese in WWII. They took their farms. I knew a family in NorCal whose farm was saved by neighbors caring for their ranch, and paying the taxes while they were gone.

Those who are here legally on visas or permanent green cards are having their visas and green cards revoked for no reason other than numbers ICE has to make daily. Many from Iraq and Afghanistan thst helped soldiers included. That's certain death to them.

They never were going after the gangstas! It's always been racial hatred combined with opportunistic $$$ control Where are the majority of ice Assaults happening? Not in maga supporter biz states. Re back to the pic Newsom & Melanias warm kissy kissy welcome & dumps speed up attack on CA no love

The drug cartels have money. They can buy themselves passports and fancy mansions and a bunch of corrupt senators. The gangsters have armed guards. Too risky! Why they go after field workers, maids and taco vendors.

They're trying to meet their stupid quotas by rounding up the easiest targets: peaceful, hardworking, non-threatening people. They're actually afraid to go after violent criminals.

The cruelty of these kidnappings cannot be justified by anyone (except for ghouls)! Peaceful, hard-working, non-criminals make America successful. Shame on all complicit dark-hearted conmen currently destroying lives and America! The majority will remember all of this when it is time to vote.

Everything has a season or a reason. The trash cowards that helped themselves to that young woman’s father’s belongings will themselves be on the opposite end. I pray they receive what they dished out 100 fold.

It's not just how he was taken, it's that nobody knows where he is or what he's charged with, or for that matter who they think he is because their statements contradict the facts. They threw a legal resident in a hole with no process and can now do anything they want with him. And his property.

What happens when their done? You think they will stop. All this power with no oversight. They will never stop. "Don't follow us. Don't ask questions. " We comply. We're afraid and we're next. Local law enforcement Must do something. This will make their jobs so much harder. We will never trust them

ICE is lower than human waste. Every single dirt bag loser working for ice today will stand trail for their crimes when this regime falls. If you know an ice employee , be sure to tell them how repugnant they are, and that they will face the consequences of their treason.

“[ICE] told me they are under no obligation to tell the family or the attorneys of the detainees that they have been apprehended, or that they’ve been moved to another state, to another facility, or that they’ve been deported." We need state/local government to put their feet down and stop this.

🚨 ICE TERRORISM ALERT: Agents are instructed to menace those who do not "look" white. These violent thugs are FULLY ARMED, MILITARIZED AND AUTHORIZED by the republikan regime to apprehend and rough up people regardless if they are here illegally or legally. 🏴 PROTECT YOURSELF ANY WAYS YOU CAN !

I've seen social media posts from pastors and the like, talking about how roughly 80% of the people they are deporting are Christians. Who knows, maybe it will get through to some people. It's a powerful argument. I will not tolerate anyone saying the US is a Christian Nation.

They don't even have the right guy, it seems. They say he came in 2006 and has a DUI. His family says he has been here since the 90's, the DA found no record of a DUI.

I found the place he is in. It's about 40 minutes from where I live. If there is anything I can do let me know . I don't want to but in or be a nuisance, so, reply back if there is. I feel so awful for you all

They have been. If LA/California is a “distraction” for anything, it’s that Red states are being targeted too, so that MAGA can keep believing they’re owning the libs and not their own neighbors.

Well, what's next...what's your move... what's your play... I see many people complaining, sitting back discussing what political officials should do... well the pace at which Judicial legislation is reached and court cases determined are at snails pace & not to mention that this administration has

...already admitted that they will not adhere to the...keep in mind, the House, the Senate are in Donnie's pocket & SCOTUS is afraid to do their job... so again, I ask, What's Next, what's the play, as a former Air Force Logistics manager, begin thinking strategically & offensively not defensively.

“The Ice official told me they are under no obligation to tell the family or the attorneys of the detainees that they have been apprehended, or that they’ve been moved to another state, to another facility, or that they’ve been deported”

That other state matter is important. US Federal habeas corpus has jurisdictional requirements. A case must be brought in the jurisdiction of the person’s location or it is invalid.

It’s disconcerting when you read this, and then go to the go fund me and read that he was detained on his way to work. I understand that it doesn’t matter, but stop fucking making shit up. Outside of a church was added? For what?? To embellish?? Yeah, little things like this make us no better.
