A Honduran mother and her two children — ages 6 and 9 — sued the Trump administration over their arrest at Los Angeles Immigration Court, the first lawsuit challenging the arrests of children under a new ICE directive targeting courthouses.
Key excerpts:
The family had been staying with a relative in Los Angeles for the previous seven months after crossing the border legally for a court appointment through the now-defunct CBP One App to seek asylum in October of last year. They had been granted parole status in the U.S. while they waited for their day in immigration court.
"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying," Mukherjee said. "The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."
The 6-year-old boy has been diagnosed with leukemia and has missed a medical appointment to be treated for worsening symptoms
The Texas Civil Rights Project says the family has been placed in expedited removal, which allows for rapid deportation without a court hearing. The family's attorneys fear they could be deported before their lawsuit is heard.
ah yes the damn children with blood cancer taking our jobs, the dangerous threat to society providing money for privatized healthcare by trying to stay alive
I do not care the reason, if you have scared a 6 year old so bad he’s pissed himself, then you are indeed the “baddie”…
No child should suffer this kind of trauma at the hand of an adult. And if they do, than that adult responsible needs the ever lovin’ shit beat out of them. Period. End of sentence.
the fact that ICE is targeting anyone at immigration court tells us all exactly how hateful they and this admin is. these are people who are literally going through the legal system of immigration. they are not the same criminals that are publicly being talked about by the administration.
ice is specifically targeting good people because it's easy to get the list. using courts, using IRS fillings, profiling on the streets.
they are lazy. ice is purposefully not doing the work of finding and stopping real criminals. they are doing everything they can to avoid criminals. they are cowards, lazy cowards who only pretend to love this country but really they love the feeling they get when their boot is on someone's neck.
We all knew that was a lie for most of them. They just didn't have the power or public support. It's not that they have more support now, but the support is way more public.
how long are these fucking nazis going to be allowed to run rampant? because if it wasn't clear before, then it 100% is now, that it was NEVER about "rapists and murderers" or even "illegals"
As long as they don't face any consequences they have no reason to stop.
No, suing ICE is not consequences for the Nazi's rounding up "undesirables" because they aren't the ones paying for it. ICE doesn't care either, they're already over budget anyway, more tax payer money will come from somewhere.
Pretty sure they will keep on doing this until we start doing it to them and their families. More effort needs to be taken to identify them and humiliate them.
The ICE List is a public, open-source effort to document the people responsible for enforcing deportation, separating families, and carrying out immigration raids in the United States.
agreed. not enough people are talking about how these fucking cowards can't even show their faces. while being a hired goon for the party trying to make it illegal for protesters to wear masks. fuck these people
What would you propose is an effective method of doing so? With masks, guns, and no uniform, I don’t even begin to know how you could discover their identity without being swiftly arrested for interfering with ICE.
For as long as there is a nazi regime. And it is only going to get worse as soon as they have normalised this current level, which seems to be well under way.
i know we're walking the edge of the rules here, but i'm hopeful that when one specific one of them finally fucking croaks (whatever the cause), things might start to turn around, seeing as how all of the rest of them who worship this person hate each others' guts and the flock will disperse
that day, when it comes, will be my own new personal holiday
Why do these thugs always strike a pose when there's a camera? Crossing their arms, crossing their legs, leaning back as if they're Clint Eastwood. Fucking cosplayers, all of them.
trump administration is afraid of sickly children. something like this doesn't happen by mistake. it takes people a specific group of evil scum bag people to do something like this.
Perhaps DOGE should be installed at ICE and lay off all these pieces of shit instead of making it harder for people to get the benefits they already paid for.
There seems to be a ton of fraud waste and abuse going on at ICE.
