A government that flouts the Fourth Amendment and then lies about it to courts and the people has crossed a moral and legal frontier.

Doesn't seem like an arrest when it's on Illegal grounds. I call it kidnapping. Which is where the actual authorities should be stepping in to do something about it, but I guess they're seeing them as also officers in uniform and hey, got to support the blue, right? No matter what they're doing to people.

What do you call it when a goon drives a car with a US citizen toddler inside away while their parent is taken away? Because I'm pretty sure arresting toddlers isn't acceptable at any level. What possible crime could justify toddler detainment? Seems counterintuitive for the parents rights crowd.

Clearly the toddler was involved in a terrorist plot to subvert the government.

Possibly even throw food at a heavily armed man wearing a ballistic vest.

Biological weapons*

It's hiding weapons of mass destruction in that diaper!

"The toddler was Hamas!" worked for Israel - ofc the other villains want in on that action, too.

In the US, it's MS-13. Gotta have the eight fake branding of unwanted people if you're gonna be a nazi!

Beginning to question the legitimacy of the entire process. Feels like we're just snatching up poor people and criminalizing them for being the wrong skin tone.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 11 points 18 hours ago

That's all it's ever been the entire time.

Regardless of citizenship, they literally pulled every resident out of their homes at an apartment complex to n Chicago.

Why every single one of us wasn’t rioting afterward in the streets is beyond me.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

What would a riot do that those residents were too scared of doing?

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

Every single one of us should be concerned that ICE is going door to door looking for hidden immigrants.

Since the article doesn't make it clear, it's important to note that the fourth amendment applies to everyone, not just US citizens.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

No shit, Sherlock.

Fucking scum!

Release the Trump/Epstein files

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago

There’s literally videos of them arresting Americans. One that comes to mind is when they grabbed Rodney roadsteamer from out front of the ice facility in his giraffe outfit for singing a song that hurt their Gestapo snowflake feelings

ACAB. Crack sprinkling, rapist, lying, thieves.

So what will be done about it? Until there are actual consequences, clutching pearls over this means nothing.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

This is not clutching pearls. It is documenting crimes.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Crimes that will be dismissed, ignored, and “pardoned.”

Wake the fuck up and physically talk to fascist the only language they know.
