Anyone still think this is OK?

You know who you are, and if you think this is OK, then fuck you

But on that morning in March, Guardado got a strange phone call at work. Some sort of public safety officer had dialed her office and wanted her to come outside to talk. In the parking lot, three men in plain clothes identified themselves as Department of Public Safety officers, Correa told The War Horse. As Shirly approached, they said her car had been involved in an accident. But when she got close, they grabbed her and handcuffed her, telling her they were ICE agents.

Can't trust anyone.

Remember this, service men and women, when you are given your orders to oppress us.

You are also one of the oppressed.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 26 points 8 hours ago

Just a little lower on the list.

Daughter: Daddy, why do you work for the people who kidnapped Mommy? Correa: I don’t, sweetheart. I’m in the Army. The Army doesn’t deport people. ICE does. Daughter: They both take orders from the president, though, right? Correa: well, yeah. Daughter: So, why do you work for the man who ordered ICE to kidnap Mommy? Correa: …

And they have a baby only 10 months old!! My baby is a little bit older but still, can't imagine if something like that just came and split us, it would be very traumatic for everyone.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

And if Trump has his way, that baby will someday get deported too. The dad should be glad the baby wasn't with mom when they kidnapped her. They might have taken the baby too.

Army Sgt. Ayssac Correa had just started his day at the 103rd Quartermaster Company outside of Houston on the morning of March 13 when he got a phone call from his sister-in-law.

She worked at the same company as Correa’s wife and had just pulled into the parking lot to see three ICE agents handcuffing her.

“They’re taking Shirly away!” she told him.

Imagine getting that call. We've definitely become evil.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 48 points 8 hours ago

My wife is Mexican-American. She was born here, and I fear that call. ICE is rounding up everyone that they “suspect” is undocumented. I’m afraid that she’ll get picked up and lost in the system before I can bring proof of citizenship.

What ICE is doing is evil. I can’t believe this is my country after only a few months, and I fear what will happen in a few years.

“Me being in the military—I felt bad that it was happening, because I’m also married to somebody who’s going through the [immigration] process. But I was like, ‘Oh, there’s no way this is going to happen to us,’” he said.

That misconception is common, immigration attorneys and advocates told The War Horse. But in reality, there is no guaranteed path to citizenship for undocumented military family members—and no guaranteed protections against deportation.

[–] supernight52@lemmy.world 49 points 8 hours ago

And that's how you know exactly who that idiot voted for. Now he's getting the day he asked for, and it's no longer fun.

“Surely my king won’t deport my wife”

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 27 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He is, and don't call him Shirley.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 27 points 8 hours ago

No one can call Shirly, she's getting deported.

Where are you seeing he was a trumper?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

But I was like, ‘Oh, there’s no way this is going to happen to us,’” he said.

It's not definitive, but it's a big fucking clue.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 hours ago

Odds are pretty good giving that he's in the military. The Latino people I know who were ex military are Trump 100%.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

A single quote saying he felt bad about the ICE deportations, I think. I didn't see anything in there that was direct.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 19 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

what does the military say to recruits that so thoroughly dupes them into thinking the government gives half a rat's ass about them?

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The main thing is ~13y of indoctrination in our schools starting with pledge every day and the whitewashing of our history.
