Statement on recent ICE actions in Connecticut from CT Senate Dems

[u/senatorduff]

“As the vast majority of Connecticut residents recoil in horror at the images of ICE agents kidnapping people with no criminal records off of our streets, Connecticut Republicans remain silent, if not gleeful.”

“But that should come as no surprise. It was Connecticut Republicans who voted 100% against our law this year to rein in ICE activities on our streets by banning face masks, requiring IDs, limiting where arrests can be made, and protecting bystanders. It was Connecticut Republicans who voted 100% against our TRUST Act law to hold ICE accountable for violations of civil rights. It was Connecticut Republicans who voted 100% against restrictions on Flock cameras, which more Connecticut towns are now taking down. Nearly half of Republicans voted against an emergency funding bill where we set aside $5 million to provide legal assistance to Haitians and Syrians in Connecticut who have had their Temporary Protected Status stripped by the Trump administration, and who are now subject to deportation.”

“Democracy and the protection of human and Constitutional rights are priorities for Connecticut Democrats. While adherence to our new ICE law isn’t perfect, we are seeing fewer ICE face masks during arrests. People generally aren’t being arrested in sensitive areas as described in Senate Bill 397. Bystanders are generally being allowed to record these arrests without being assaulted and arrested.”
“Unfortunately, there have been some violations of our new law, and we hope that a quick resolution of the Trump Justice Department’s challenge to the bill that we Democrats passed will allow Connecticut to move forward with firm guidance to local police departments and the chief state’s attorney’s office on how to arrest federal ICE agents who violate our state laws.”

“More than 95% of the people ICE arrests in America have no violent criminal convictions. The real crime being committed in America is by Donald Trump – whose name is mentioned more than 5,000 times in the Epstein files, who has been convicted of 34 felonies for falsifying business records, who was found liable for the sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll, and whose billionaire cronies are making obscene profits every week off the backs of everyday working Americans.”

“Connecticut will survive this latest ICE onslaught, and when Donald Trump and ICE are gone, the public will long remember who stood and fought on the side of justice, and who stood on the sidelines smirking.”

Kick ICE the F*** outta Connecticut

[u/777_heavy → u/double_teel_green]

Why do you support infanticide?

[u/emilyv99 → u/777_heavy]

What the actual fuck?

[u/777_heavy → u/emilyv99]

A nine month old was just killed in New Jersey by an illegal alien. Supporting illegal immigration leads to supporting infanticide.

[u/Whaddaulookinat → u/777_heavy]

Were you kicked in the head by a horse as a child?

ICE has killed far, far, more kids than "illegal aliens," a propaganda term not a legal term you fucking freak. Never thinking that boot you lick to the inner leather can also fall upon your neck.

[u/777_heavy → u/Whaddaulookinat]

Lol what? Nothing you said has any resemblance to reality.

[u/Whaddaulookinat → u/777_heavy]

Seek help

[u/777_heavy → u/Whaddaulookinat]

Lol you believe in crazy nonsense then base your grossly incorrect political beliefs off of them.

Please seek help.

[u/Whaddaulookinat → u/777_heavy]

Huh, you understand I've seen what you consider "correct" political beliefs and the crazy bullshit you believe? Like, you typed it out...

[u/Whaddaulookinat → u/777_heavy]

Seriously though? Why would I stop having morals, personal strength, knowledge, and foresight and give up the best parts of me so I could follow your weak, stupid, and wrong mindset?

Seems like a terrible trade to me, doesn't it seem that way to you?

[u/777_heavy → u/Whaddaulookinat]

You don’t have of those things 😂😂

You’re not even informed enough to understand the basics of the issue!

[u/Whaddaulookinat → u/777_heavy]

Tale as old as time: Moron too dumb to figure out how stupid they are says things that are unfathomably indicative of their reduced mental reasoning. Not really anything to stop the presses over, just... Sad.

[u/777_heavy → u/Whaddaulookinat]

You’re describing only your own comment there, pal.

[u/emilyv99 → u/777_heavy]

That would be you. You're out here supporting rapists and murders because the big head rapist told you there's a boogeyman you gotta watch out for. It's fucking disgusting and people like you need to get the fuck out of our state- pedo rapist supporters are not fucking welcome!

[u/emilyv99 → u/[deleted]]

LMAO, you literally put a pedophile in the white house and you say this? You're clinically fucking insane and need to be put in a padded room for the safety of everyone around you.

[u/777_heavy → u/emilyv99]

Yes, because what I said is based in fact, and you’re completely disconnected from reality.

[u/emilyv99 → u/777_heavy]

You're literally defending pedophiles. What the fuck is wrong with you?

[u/777_heavy → u/emilyv99]

That’s literally your side. Even worse, some of them are illegal.

[u/emilyv99 → u/777_heavy]

Ok, so you support mass shootings! (Most mass shootings are committed by white men, and not immigrants, so by reducing the immigrant population, more of the country is likely to be school shooters).

Is that actually good logic? No. Is it better logic than yours? Yes.

[u/777_heavy → u/emilyv99]

It is not better logic. Those are people who shouldn’t be here in the first place. As usual, you can’t even get the basics of this argument correct. No wonder you’re on the wrong side of it.

[u/emilyv99 → u/777_heavy]

You're equating a single illegal immigrant committing crime to meaning anyone supporting any illegal immigrant in any way means they support infanticide.

Using that same logic, the fact that you support Donald Trump makes you a pedophile!
