Several people arrested in New Orleans amid ICE ‘siege’: ‘It’s racial profiling’

CNN also reported the case of a 22-year-old US-born mother who was chased home by federal agents in an SUV from the grocery store in Marrero. She told CNN: “I kept yelling at them, ‘I’m legal! I’m a US-born citizen! Please, leave me alone! I’m going home, my daughter is in the house. My baby is waiting for me!’”

“They’re not picking up criminals,” said Taber. “They’re picking up people off the streets, whoever they can catch – these are moms and dads coming home from work, ambushed getting out of their cars.”

The only thing that keeps coming to my mind when reading this is just how fucking disgusting this is.

How the fuck can anyone just be ok with this? Brain washing? Dissociation? The false belief that even if everything collapses around them, maybe they'll be ok as long as they keep their noses out of it?

What is it that keeps people from acknowledging this is not fucking ok? If you won't at least speak up, at what point will you accept your role as a collaborator?
