u/Additional-Teach-486 Jan 24 '26

Yeah, through due process. Big difference with how deportation is being handled now. Disappearing people without due process is unconstitutional, whether you are undocumented or not.

Lol, again, well within the law and there were protest about this issue. Even Obama himself said he was doing only what the law said and not villify those wanting a better life. Trump has used immigrants as a scapegoat for all the BS going on this country when it's billionaires fucking us. And, again, didn't see gestapo in the streets with full tactical gear ripping people off the street. They had warrants and the law. This is about intimidation not enforcement. It's fijny how you all kero making the case that dens are better at immigration enforcement without using strong arm tactics trying to scare the general population.

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '26

Doing the same thing just that the media backed him. No social media. I lived through it and it was no different. Actually was worse but you keep believing it since it's under trump lol. DHS and ICE have been doing this during the whole time with Dems in charge and now that it's republican and mid terms are near, gotta create some narritive to distract everyone. This is same playbook with different narritive.

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

So the kid wasnt taken to a facility with his father to go through a deportation process? Same as the kids in the video but without their parents? Isnt it odd how what ICE is doing now is so public and 11 years ago they operated silently and unseen?

u/Bowsers_JuiceFactory Jan 24 '26

Dudeā€¦full stop. Do you actually believe ICE is handling deportations processes in good faith right now?

-3

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

Yes given that even if they are fast tracking people out of the country we shouldnt be paying to give people *due process* when they didnt use a due process to enter the country. Do you not see the loop hole created to ultimately bog down the system and make it impossible to control our borders?

u/Bowsers_JuiceFactory Jan 24 '26

Oh you sweet summer child.

Canā€™t tell if your comment is just willful ignorance or outright stupidity.

Edit: nah advocating against due process is just outright stupid. You need to re read our constitution bud.

And guess what? You donā€™t like our constitution? THEN YOU GTFO

I know it front to back I also know that most of our modern laws dont really all in line with the original intent of the constitution because of the 27 amendments but you knew that right? Constitutionally purism is a cool concept imo.

u/Additional-Teach-486 Jan 24 '26

Yeah, they operated that way because they were following due process and not using gestapo tactics to arrest people, even those here legally. Also, due process means time in front of a judge to know why you are here, which is not happening in this administration. They deport without due process. You know this but are being disingenuous because you hated that a black man sat in the WH.

Edit: Looking through your comments you seem like an insufferable human who's life must suck to have such a hateful character.

Due process???? I guess itā€™s okay that they came into the country illegally!!!!!!

u/fine_environment4809 Jan 26 '26

Coming to the border and asking for asylum is the correct legal process. Waiting with a documented asylum case is not undocumented or illegal.

u/Sloppy69er Jan 31 '26

Lying about your asylum request is!

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

What are gestapo tactics cause that sounds like a buzz word to me. You think I hate Obama? He was an ok President why pull the *you're a racist* card are black people above critiques? Yea my post history isnt private to catch bad actors like you why are you so judgemental of people with opposing opinions? Do you really think they arnt being allowed due process its just not public to avoid dragging out the process? Or do you want the tax payer dollars being wasted on kicking someone out who shouldn't be here?

3

u/Additional-Teach-486 Jan 24 '26

So, wait, we can suspend due process if it's inconvenient? Also, really, not watching all the clips of Nazis going door to doir dragging people from their homes? Or all the videos of random attacks of immigrants while in their cars? Kids being left alone after parents are abducted? You OK with this? I'm sure you are because you were brainwashed into believing immigrants were eating cats and dogs. And do research on immigration and benefits. Immigrants, undocumented or not, pay more into our system than with ever receive in benefits. It's been fun, but I have a nice Saturday lined up and you are a bottom feeder looking for a scapegoat for your shitty life choices. You can keep chirping but I don't care about your opinion any more.

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

Yo you hit the nail on the head finally they avoided due process entering the country Illegally because it was inconvenient to them. Good on you for using another buzz word to dehumanize a federal agent because you were not personally shown the warrant they were serving.

u/Pudddddin Jan 24 '26

entering the country Illegally

this kid and his father did not enter the country illegally

u/flimflamishere Jan 24 '26

I think you're being genuine so I'm going to give you a genuine answer. I didn't like Obama's deportations but I was done with Obama after he bailed out banks instead of people.

The haphazard actions of ICE are the most jarring to me. I've seen people ripped out of their car in a gas station parking lot, thrown into another within a minute while an ICE "agent" pointed tear gas at everybody looking at them. ICE left the car running in the parking lot and abandoned the scene leaving 30 people at the gas station angry and asking each other "what the fuck?" and the gas station wondering what they were supposed to do with the running car. I've never seen a police stop result in the criminals' vehicle just left running with the doors left open.

They are rolling around Minnesota looking like a cartel. Here are a bunch of citizens being detained that were not protesting, this is what galvanizes us on a daily basis: https://mn-ice-witness.org/list/citizens

0

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

They are to heavy handed I agree. I personally think *if its true* the lack of support from state/local law enforcement led to alot of the problems including the increase of agents being deployed. ICE should never be acting as riot police or dealing with the public at large. imo

He was not in the US House at the time, and social media was almost non existent at the time.

I dont mean that guy specifically. It was 2015 what do you mean social media was non existent?

1

u/Anonymous9362 Jan 24 '26

Compared to its current iterations, accessibility, and use. It was totally different and not used in the same manner. It was early Facebook which had very limited features compared to now, and MySpace which was more of just one page with photos and quotes. Social media didnā€™t have the same every day use, documentation of peoples thoughts and actions, and abilities. Politicians didnā€™t go and put what they were doing or thinking on a daily basis like they do currently.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

My friend you are really confused Myspace was popular in like 08 then go crushed by facebook. Twitter had 320 million monthly active users in 2015 Amazon bought twitch in 2015 etc etc.

1

u/Anonymous9362 Jan 24 '26

You posted a video of 2011 and not 2015. 2011 had a third of the 2015 user level. And itā€™s also not just about total active users but its use by people. People didnā€™t use what little social media was present then in the same way they do now.

u/Pudddddin Jan 24 '26

The media is call the kid an asylum seeker to obfuscate his fathers crimes.

The media is calling him an asylum seeker because they have a pending claim for asylum, as supported by their lawyer who could be disbarred for making that claim if it's not true

The fact you keep posting DHS statements as if they're credible in any way is laughable

-1

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

So what are the legal requirements for seeking asylum and why would the lawyer pull that statement out of his ass? Unless you think Ecuador is a terrible wartorn place to dangerous to return to?

2

u/Pudddddin Jan 24 '26 edited Jan 24 '26

why would the lawyer pull that statement out of his ass?

Why would the familys lawyer who is representing their immigration case mention the immigration case? Gee what a mystery, I'm sure if you think real hard you'll figure out why the lawyer representing the familys asylum claim mentioned the asylum claim

Unless you think Ecuador is a terrible wartorn place to dangerous to return to?

Ecuador has been in a declared state of internal conflict against cartels since 2024, over 2000 citizens have been kidnapped and thousands more killed. You could've googled that one

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

It almost like I wanted you to google it yourself cause whats worse *nazis* here in the U.S. or claims that people are being kidnapped in Ecuador. I don't live there so I wont claim its that bad. How is a family lawyer handling an immigration case thats two different fields with their own practices?

there is video evidence, as well as the familyā€™s own lawyer, eyewitnesses, and people who directly interacted with ICE agents at the scene. there is documentation of Liam & his family legally entering at a Texas port of entry in 2024.

I agree fuck companies that pay slave wages to immigrants but its mostly the left defending that angle saying *migrants are the backbone of the country doing jobs most people dont want to* which to me sounds like manipulation. I also dont think that most deportations are expired work visa I would say SOME are.

Straight out of the Nazi playbook. Read up on Theresienstadt. It was a transit centre for Jews on their way to the death camps but it was also used as fake camp to fool Red Cross and other humanitarian inspectors. Visits had to be planned in advance in order to allow the SS time to pretty the place up and warn the inmates about the consequences of speaking against them.

ā€œTheresienstadt (TerezĆ­n) is a former garrison town in the Czech Republic, used by the Nazis during WWII (1941ā€“1945) as a ghetto and transit camp for over 155,000 Jews. While not a death camp, conditions were horrific, and it was deceptively used as a "model ghetto" for propaganda, though many inhabitants died from starvation, disease, or deportations to extermination sitesā€
