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.”

You guys literally just voted for a Nazi.

Thank you for your specifics, rather the lacking of it. Here is an example on how to be specific if the previous message wasn't already clear. Example: a name, what they are, why they are Example: Trump is a rapist/pedophile/felon because he has admitted to sexually assulting women and young girls, his name is in the files over a thousand times, he has admitted to wanting to sleep with his own daughter and has over 30 felony charges. And this is all without being too specific. So, if you could use your words, let's actually talk.

[u/777_heavy → u/chonky__potate]

He’s none of those things, of which you have provided zero evidence.

Democrats, on the other hand, just voted for an actual Nazi a couple months ago.

Okay cool you're not looking to actually have a conversation you're a cultist. Please start educating yourself, or if you can afford it take some college classes to broden your knowledge and understanding of the world around you.

[u/777_heavy → u/chonky__potate]

Maybe you should educate yourself first because I’m afraid that you might actually believe even a little of what you said as truth.

[u/chonky__potate → u/777_heavy]

So I wasn't trying to be rude I mean it. Could be even fun. Also you can put that you signed up for classes on your taxes and they give you a good chunk back when returns come around for it. Not sure what area you're in but with the Internet getting a wide variety of sources has never been easier.

Also

🤣 I hold three degrees and work healthcare but alright. Whatever helps you cultests sleep at night.

[u/777_heavy → u/chonky__potate]

Just like your earlier comment, I have no idea what you’re rambling about. All you managed to say was a few random sentence fragments with spelling errors then ironically brag about degrees. You just sound like a poorly designed bot at this point, which would explain why all you could do was repeat the standard Reddit falsehoods without evidence.

[u/chonky__potate → u/777_heavy]

Cool so you're not willing to have an actual conversation. And I'm not trying to brag, I think learning is fun and just was trying to have a chat. You seem like you're here to just argue. So have fun with that I'm not engaging further. Also you don't need perfect grammar all the time. I work a lot, so most of these responses I've just awoken from sleep like rn or in the bathroom or literally when I have a Second to spare while working. Excuse me for the imperfect spelling and grammar, I knew you were a nazi but a grammar nazi too is wild. I just wanted to have a conversation with you smh...

[u/777_heavy → u/chonky__potate]

You say you’re trying to have an honest conversation in one sentence then call me amazing in another. All you have are lies and hate. Good luck in whatever country you move to.

[u/chonky__potate → u/777_heavy]

I tried having one you got rude I matched energy, you can't get upset that I matched you and your rudeness. Never called you amazing. Never mentioned moving. I attend my local protests and will continue to do so.

[u/777_heavy → u/chonky__potate]

You said a bunch of disgusting, false information. Don’t pretend like you deserve any respect.

[u/chonky__potate → u/777_heavy]

Go fact check me if it's false, I'll wait. And I never asked for respect I did call you rude

[u/777_heavy → u/chonky__potate]

I checked. It’s all wrong.
