The caravans of murderers and rapists was another accusation as a confession.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 19 points 6 hours ago

I think there's a very good chance kids in ice custody are being abused/molested.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 22 points 8 hours ago

If you were curious what Conservative America would look like....here it is.

And your conservative family and neighbors made it happen and are ecstatic about it. And no one is going to hold them accountable except you.

I'm sorry but if my child was attending a school in Minnesota and ICE was "circling" it looking for children to traffic I would be standing out front with a gun in hand all day.

[–] Druth@discuss.online 1 points 12 minutes ago

People are forming brigades around the schools, though not with guns. Ice would gleefully shoot you in front of your children if you tried that.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

They'd shutdown the school and the local police would arrest you when the first parents saw you outside.

[–] Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

And then they would arrest/kill you. Now if you were to get the rest of the community to do it with you maybe it would be successful.

Problem is a lot of assholes in all communities directly support this shit.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I doubt you'd have much problem recruiting enough parents to form a human wall between the ICE Apes and the kids. I know that if this had been happening when my son was in school, I would have happily joined.

Let's see the Apes attack parents who are just trying to shield kids from psychopathic MAGA human traffickers, and see how that goes over in America.

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

I would bet a LOT of money, if what you said happened, there would 30 people doing it the next day

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago

Nah just ambush the motherfuckers

[–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 57 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

My friends two kids were followed home from elementary school. They ran in terror for several blocks until they were home.

The family sheltered in place, switching to home schooling and calling in to work for over a week until ICE moved on to other schools.

Their dad is Caucasian. Their mom is half Ojibwe half African American. Both sides have 4+ generations of citizenship. They were targeted due to their tan skin and dark hair.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 14 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

that is.. frightening.

Trafficking children just like their child raping pedophile leaders

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

How long before they kill a kid? As if school shooters weren't enough to worry about for them.

100 percent they already have. Only one reason you don't let your facilities be walked.

[–] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 75 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Miller is a ghoul, but who are the troglodytes who believed, or still believe, that they're going after the worst of the worst? This is a terror campaign aimed at the softest of targets

[–] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's hard to imagine the full effect of America's modern self-sustaining fascist disinformation ecosystem. It's an alternate reality that follows the same patterns as cult brainwashing, with the same cognitive effects and resistance to deprogramming. North Korea and Russia have a version of this but modern first-world algorithmic feeds and astroturfing / bots multiply the impact and resilience against real information by a thousand times. The people captured by it don't know it's there, even when it wraps them as tightly as a straight jacket.

So: I think the majority of conservatives in the US at least believe ICE is only targeting criminals, and the typically just the worst ones. They don't even see stories like this unless they're strong enough to break that propaganda bubble. And when they do, that fascist media treats it as an honest mistake and that the victims are overreacting.

[–] funksoulkitchen@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago

Sure, but I think a healthy portion of them see the cruelty and celebrate it

[–] mastertigurius@lemmy.world 30 points 13 hours ago

It was never about going for the worst of the worst, not in any part of the chain of command. The point was to start a war of attrition with one goal: drive out undesirables by any means necessary. Trump and his ilk have a soft spot for Putin and are taking a trick straight from his playbook: destroy enemy morale by attacking their weakest and most vulnerable.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Miller is the heart of this operation, it’s his baby. That’s not defense for anyone else. It’s just recognition of top of the command structure here.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

He also set absurd deportation quotas and pushed ICE to go after the "easy" targets to meet them.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (2 children)

I try to put myself in these kid’s parent’s shoes, which is obviously impossible to do, and my heart truly breaks. Knowing that your children are afraid, 24/7, of their parents disappearing at any time… I have a hard time finding any other situation that would be so terrifying.

Just trying to make a better life, and spat on for doing so.

Everyone who supports this is an irredeemable piece of shit. When this madness ends, anyone who had a hand in this needs to be prosecuted and punished, severely. A message must be sent to those who would ever attempt to install a fascist regime again. I mean s e v e r e.

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine having to tell your 4 year old what to do in case you get disappeared. Now imagine that 4 years old trying to make sense of all of this.

Fucking crazy America.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 6 points 9 hours ago

And then the 4 year old gets disappeared instead. Shits beyond fucked.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I honestly don't know how anyone can be a parent and work for ICE.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago

It’s pretty easy if you view women as property and just rape them and get away with it. Death to ICE.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 11 points 12 hours ago

So Heavily Armed KNOWN Child Molesters are being Protected by Jeffrey Epstein's BEST FRIENDS when they Take YOUR Children to a Location that not even LAWMAKERS can Access? It SOUNDS like the ONLY Problem is they need a Larger Budget!

-Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries! And Tim Walz if he was in Senate!

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The only cure is lead poisoning, the fast acting kind. Fucking monsters.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I’ve read that Polonium is a good option.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 3 points 12 hours ago

If you approach ICE with a nice pot of tea they may get a little suspicious. Or they may be too stupid for that.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 16 points 14 hours ago

This is sad

Kids can't fight back.

More people should have listened to Manic Street Preachers.

The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold
So if I can shoot rabbits
Then I can shoot fascists

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Seems like a good way to fight back would be for the districts to decide to BUS all children to and from school. Busses lined up right in front of school, and school administrators walking children directly to the bus. Kids get picked up and dropped off right in front of their homes. This would make it harder, (not impossible,) for ice to just grab children.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 hours ago

Many school districts have already implemented a policy that the bus driver is not allowed to open the doors and let kids off if there are Nazis around. They are taking advantage of this by just stalking the busses and trapping the kids in them for hours and hours because they are sick fucks that get off on torturing children. All ICE must die.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 10 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

What’s to stop them from just stopping the bus? Nice package of all the kids they’re looking to remove from their parents, like some kind of rogue CPS. Bait, probably.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 hours ago

My bad, I hadn't though that far out, and assumed a bus driver would prevent children from being snatched from the bus. Maybe instead we need to go back to covid era learning online.
