ICE Invades Wrong home, Steals Their Life Savings, and Then Leaves
ICE Invades Wrong home, Steals Their Life Savings, and Then Leaves
The woman who actually lives in the house had just moved to Oklahoma City from Maryland with her family about two weeks earlier.
“I keep asking them, ‘who are you? What are you doing here? What’s happening,’” she said. “And they said, ‘we have a warrant for the house, a search warrant.’”
She said they ordered her and her daughters outside into the rain before they could even put on clothes.
“They wanted me to change in front of all of them, in between all of them,” she said. “My husband has not even seen my daughter in her undergarments—her own dad, because it’s respectful. You have her out there, a minor, in her underwear.”
Marisa said the names on the search warrant were not hers or anyone in her family.
“We just moved here from Maryland,” she said. “We’re citizens. That’s what I kept saying. We’re citizens.”
She said the agents didn’t care.
“They were very dismissive, very rough, very careless,” she said. “I kept pleading. I kept telling them we weren’t criminals. They were treating us like criminals. We were here by ourselves. We didn’t do anything.”
Marisa said the agents tore apart every square inch of the house and what few belongings they had, seizing their phones, laptops and their life savings in cash as “evidence.”
“I told them before they left, I said you took my phone. We have no money. I just moved here,” she said. “I have to feed my children. I’m going to need gas money. I need to be able to get around. Like, how do you just leave me like this? Like an abandoned dog.”
Before they left, Marisa said one of the agents made a comment.
“One of them said, ‘I know it was a little rough this morning,’” she said. “It was so denigrating. That you do all of this to a family, to women, your fellow citizens. And it was a little rough? You literally traumatized me and my daughters for life. We’re going to have to go get help or get over this somehow.”
Now, Marisa said they have, quite literally, nothing.
“I said, ‘when are we going to get our stuff back?’ They said it could be days or it could be months,” she said.
Marisa said she is left with nothing but questions.
You're viewing a single thread.
As much as I want to blame ICE agents for this, they're really just pawns in a much greater scheme.
No, I will direct all my ire towards the ruling class and their families. They are the ones who are conditioning everyone else to hysterically chase ghosts as a distraction from their exploitation.
So you're saying if you ended up in this line of work, you'd just, "follow orders"?
No. I'm saying a good deal of the people choosing to do this have actually had that decision made for them without realizing it.
They're adults, not fucking children, so how are they "having the decision made for them"? They could literally not comply at many points along the way.
Most people can't think for themselves, child or not, and are just doing whatever they think will make them look good in front of their peers.
Hopefully I don't have to write on essay on how the people who stand to profit from sowing this divide manipulate us into thinking we value things that we really shouldn't.
"They're NPCs" isn't the defense you think it is.
Saying they're NPCs is an oversimplification for silly memers like yourself.
What I said was the truth, whether you want to accept it or not.
Now, go off and do whatever you think will make you look good in front of your peers 👍
I legit can't tell if you're trolling or if you legitimately believe this asinine position you're pushing.
Probably because you've been conditioned to let other people do your thinking for you.
It's okay, I don't expect more.
Now, say something else to fit in and look good in front of your peers while trying to prove me wrong.
Le Mayonnaise.
They were just following orders, right?
Good ol' Nuremberg defence.
We had police just following orders during WWII in France. This is not a proud moment of our history, we pardon but we do not forgive.
There are some branches of government you can try and put that on, like soldiers who joined to “serve their country” and end up in a war in a country that they didn’t belong into, but ICE literally only does one thing like they have been worse lately but that’s because they can without consequences
I know. I'm trying to see things for what they are and acknowledge that a lot of people will end up joining ICE because of their conditioning by the ruling class to chase ghosts.
"It's not the people getting rich off of exploiting me for why my life sucks, it's those damned immigrants!"
The fact is that most cops are just bad people. No need to blame anybody else.
No need to feel sorry for "soldiers". But I do feel bad for the brainwashed children exploited by the military.
ICE wanted to do this. Plenty of other agencies have resisted Trump's orders in court. In contrast, ICE was given permission to be the version of themselves they always wanted to be, and this is what it is.
Why did they want to do this, though?
There are certain types of cops who take the job because they get to do stuff like this. I personally don't understand the mindset at all and I'm not going to try to explain it. It's just very clear that they relish the opportunity to do it.
You know how police are regularly accused of having racial prejudice? The common joke is that you join ICE if you're too racist to be a regular cop.
It's not a joke tho.
"Don't blame the SS. Just following orders. Blame the leadership!"
Well, they're not entirely wrong. The participants should, of course, be accountable, but not exclusively the direct participants. After World War II, we did hold those leaders to account, which is a history lesson that Merrick Garland apparently missed.
There's plenty of ire to go around, in my book.
Every ICE agent that follows these orders is also to blame. These people are the foot soldiers of fascism.
Pawns don't have to move.
It’s ICE bootlicker.
Don't blame ice because of blank. Blame blank and blame ice. blame the tools as well as the fools.
