It wasn't until she called the number the next day that she learned the police had called immigration agents on her. The officer who answered the phone told her that the police report noted that ICE had been contacted, and advised her not to make a report in person or risk being detained, she said.
The only good cop is a cop that snitches and tells you not to trust the other cops.
This is exactly the use case for not allowing cops to actively help ICE. Not only are there jurisdictional issues, but now you’re discouraging people from calling help when they need it
Similar for drivers licenses. If you get into an accident, do you prefer the other driver to be licensed and insured, and take responsibility, or do you want them uninsured and hit and run?
And SNAP. Please tell me no state requires immigration status, forcing people to starve their kids
discouraging people from calling help when they need it
This is literally why they're doing it. Government makes simply existing illegal for a huge class of workers so companies abuse them as much as they want while they're too scared to call for help, no matter how bad it gets. Bonus points if the general population hates them too so even publicity doesn't matter. (Hey, totally unrelated, isn't it great how convicts are so heavily vilified for life?) I know the phrase is way overused, but The Cruelty Is The Point isn't (only) about how psycho some of these people are, it points to how they'll do anything for money.
In the end, though, this a great way for gangs gain power. People aren't going to stop calling for help, they're going to stop calling the police for help. I guess the party of law and order would love a good crime wave.

For additional context, immigration law includes specific carveouts for domestic abuse. Under the law, a victim of domestic violence cannot be deported legally regardless of their immigration status.
Party of no law and no order.
The only reason I've ever seen to call the cops was when someone sped through a light, gained air over a hedge, and smashed hood first into a building. And that was just because i wanted the ambulance to get to them fast.
Noise? Never.
Fights? Never.
Strange noises. Never.
Etc etc.
All they do is cause more problems.
When you’re a woman getting the shit beat out of you by a man who could easily kill you (this is the case for the majority of men to the majority of women) and its call the cops or be seriously fucked up or killed it’s a pretty easy choice to make. Domestic violence is often one sided or at least one sided in who is able to defend themselves, it’s not a fight when one side is wildly out matched
Yeah, calling other domestic abusers to protect you is definitely the best way to deal with your abuser. It definitely won't upset them more and will surely lead to everyone being resolved.
Your dog will not be shot.
I completely understand. But there are other numbers that can be called.
what, the domestic abuse hotline with one person at the call center located at the other side of the country? that will then proceed to call the police anyways?
be realistic
Realistic? Where in a thread about calling the cops and the cops calling ICE on the victim.
I don't know how much more realistic you want to get.
if there's a breaking and entering you probably have more chance reasoning with the trespasser than having anything good come from pigs showing up.
A random non-cop is probably going to have better de-escalation skills than a cop too
Depends on your melanin content unfortunately. Fuck racist pigs
what? fuck off with this acab bullshit, it's not all black and white, if there's a knife fight in the neighbor's house i'm calling the police, and i'm appalled that there's someone who wouldnt.
what do you suggest, getting stabbed yourself? ignoring it and letting an innocent human being die? how would you even sleep with that at night?
She's clearly a trouble-maker, keeps getting into fights.
/s I hope this wasn't needed...
You have the right to a speedy deportation, anything you say may not fucking matter at all because you sound like your skin is brown so we're deporting you regardless.
