If they would just do that to every ice agent who manhandled their victims unnecessarily we could get rid of the whole organization I bet

Ice officer ‘relieved of duties’ after video shows him manhandling woman at New York immigration court
(www.theguardian.com)
You know they have administrators and janitors too, right?
The janitors can stay
Not if they are manhandling people.
Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, sent a statement to the Guardian, saying the officer’s actions were “unacceptable and beneath the men and women of Ice”.
...
According to local news outlet AMNY, the agent was seen last month forcibly pulling a teenage girl from her father’s arms as she cried. The outlet also noted that several court observers have raised concerns for months about his physical conduct.
You sure that behavior isn't acceptable, Tricia? Sounds like it was accepted for several months before now.
“unacceptable and beneath the men and women of Ice”
Nothing is beneath them.
Yup. They wanted to send children to Guatemala in the dead of the night, likely into slavery. We must never forget that these people are evil.
Isn’t this how they behave at every single arrest? What made this one worse? I’m confused.
she was basically distraut and crying and the dude charged, tackled and put her on the ground with sufficient force that they had to send her to the hospital with suspected head injuries, and the entire crowd of press surrounding him.
Basically. it was the entire thing was filmed by press and there's a lot of sympathy from all but the most assholish of assholes.
I guess I’ve seen a lot of footage like this. And usually the only thing that happens is the victim gets charged with assault.
yeah. this one has legs though. Which basically means that she won't be charged, and that they'll put the guy on paid leave until the news cycle blows over and then he'll be back creating more "content" like this shit.
The only difference between this incident and dozens of others is that it literally happened in front of a bunch of press types.
I see. Maybe we need to start applying pressure to make the press do their job all the time instead of just occasionally.
Dump main stream and find independent media. We’re now finding tons of journalists who are doing it, but not through “traditional” channels.
Increasingly, the major outlets are getting owned by fewer and fewer billionaires. (And you can write off anything on TikTok now, too)
Yes this can’t be said enough - Ditch TikTok
I have but they still have a lot of influence on people. So I think it still matters.
He's lucky that happened in a courthouse. If that was on the street with a bunch of people around, he may not have made it out. And you know none of them would admit seeing a thing.
Honestly, ICE has de-legitimized courthouses for me. I can't believe that those places uphold law, when people are trafficked in plain sight.
"Immigration Court" is part of the executive branch. An "immigration judge" is a employee of the DoJ. I don't think anyone can trust those anymore.
Imagine the pile of shit you have to be to be fired from that job for misconduct.
I don’t think there’s much left to imagine
Relieved of duties, but I guarantee it's with full pay - and only off duty until they think the news has calmed down.
Likely. Need some legal documents to get his name. Probably when he runs for Texas representative.
Do the ones from Maryland next.
All ICE agents are in violation of the law and should all be detained and tried by a jury of their piers for war crimes
So... Promoted?
No. Relocated.
Hmmm. I guess they're Catholic.
paid vaccation
For everyone else in this country, we would be in jail for assault and battery. Not for these fascists.
