    Had to check the date on the article because this is not the first woman in scrubs on her way to work being yanked out of a car while telling ICE that she is a citizen.

    We live in a dystopian hell and for some reason we keep acting like it’s all fine.

      Hire them? They need to spend the rest of their lives in prison. The most egregious and violent ones should have capitol punishment handed down.

    She is visible white and 👱 blond, a medical worker, speaks with no accent.

    She was eventually let go.

    The first one is why the second one happened.

    These ICE agents deserve the worst possible sentence. Especially as they caused many forced disappearances, which are crimes against humanity.

    Side note, why is she bringing her scrubs outside the hospital? Don’t you return them after your shift in America, to be washed and such?

      She literally can’t, ICE agents are federal agents which means they have civil immunity from lawsuits that are a direct result of their duties. Unless they’re doing something that a reasonable person would understand to be a breach of the law. That said the federal courts seem to use Donald Trump’s circumstantial definition of a reasonable person and only his. So fat chance there’s a legal solution to this.

        I feel very reasonably that warrantless searches and seizures while not in uniform and face coverings and no badges IS A BREACH OF THE LAW!!!

        Not to even mention all the countless people that have been disappeared or deported to God knows where with no information given to their families or anything. Just poof gone. No jury, no trial, no proof they did anything wrong, no positive ID they are even who they are. None of it.

        Please explain how any of that could possibly be legal and how any reasonable person wouldn’t consider it evil and terrible and utterly terrifying and dystopian?

        How is everyone NOT upset at how awful this all is?

      Nothing would happen. Just a waste of money. And if it came to it, they would just get pardoned.

      There is no law in the USA. Trump is the law.

      I hope someone hunts down her assailants one by one, tortures them psychologically, makes them suffer physically and broadcasts it all as a warning to other fascist fuckwits before delivering upon them the fate all Nazis deserve.

    I really hope there’s an american nuremberg, and i hope they claim they were just following orders, because as with the nazis, that’s been proven to not be a valid excuse. I hope these cunts go to prison for the rest of their lives.

      You know how many Nazis were hung in the Nuremberg trials? Like 10. Everyone else was basically acquitted. You cannot rely on systems of power to punish transgressors.

      I hope so too but I have no faith in the democrats or the current American justice system to make it happen. The only way I see it happening is revolution or war. Otherwise, the federal government will just go on acting like all of this was perfectly normal

        It’s actually surprising how they happen to have two million prisoners. Clearly, some people are going to jail.

        In other news the justice department commissioned an AI to automate sentencing of convicted felons but had second thoughts when it transpired the robot had become racist after being trained on the judicial records. True story.

      Sadly most Nazis minus a few higher ups went without punishment. Many scientists even ended up working for the US as part of Operation Paperclip. Like the Civil War, the punishment NEVER fits the crime and these assholes mainly get off scot-free with no repercussions. Which always leads to a resurgence at some point.

      Nothing will happen to them. Nothing happened to the National guard who murdered and stabbed students in 1970.

          These people will be protected and suffer no consequences, because the oligarchy in the US knows it will need more thugs who can operate with impunity. This is why Trump released the Jan 6th rioters. National guard literally murdered and stabbed students in multiple instances in 1970 and nothing happened to them. Most got promoted.

      Ahh. But that was for Germans. Just following orders is a valid excuse for Americans, as the war crimes trials during the vietnam spanking made clear.

    This is getting weirder. Did they realize they were being shitty on camera?:

    “I’m a U.S. citizen, please help me,” she shouted after agents forced her to the ground. “This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?”

    Agents then placed her in a patrol vehicle. She was released a short time later.

    “She refused to cooperate and identify herself with all levels of law enforcement there,” said agency spokesman Alan Regalado, noting Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies were there. A Herald reporter saw deputies moving drivers along who were slowing down to watch the stop.

    After agents removed the woman from her car, they found her driver’s license in the vehicle, ran it through their system and confirmed she is a U.S. citizen, Regalado said.

    Edit: So basically, she wouldn’t show them her gold star. WTF country are we fucking living in.

            Ya, speaking as an American, America really jumped the boat with Iraq and Afghanistan and the idea of American Exceptionalism. Like I get it, America is the best, but the minute you start seeing results that are not agreeable, change the method. No, these chuckle ducks said we are America and rammed thorugh terrible idea after terrible idea. 'Cause we the best. It’s this mindset that has everybody denying, America was already close to the bottom. Now it seems we trying to be the best at being the bottom. And seeing if that floor can go lower.

              It goes all the way back to the founding of the United States. The country itself is built on stolen land and is rotten to the core.

                What is wrong with a bunch of wealthy racist land owners creating a country to benefit themselves?

                Everything you learn growing up in the US is propaganda and objectively false. There is so much white washing bleach should be the national drink.

      Why would they bother with the license if the ICE facial app scan said she was an immigrant? I thought it was absolute and infallible…
