Soooo... Child trafficking?

Unfortunately the article says he's 18, so legally they'll say he's an adult.
WindyRebel@lemmy.world · 55 pts · 363d
Legally they’d be right.
So now it’s just regular human trafficking.

It's not the most relevant to THIS guy, but in general, a government purposefully separating parents from their children with no means of reunion is one of the named conditions of cultural genocide.
Literally, it's part (e) of the UN Resolution, the 'Genocide Convention.'
We spent so long discussing the legitimate genocide in Palestine, and yet, so little on the damn genocide that has been happening within our borders since 2016.

This is also exactly what the Trump admin has been doing to Latin American migrants since the start of his first term.

Only 1000%..? Need to boost these rookie numbers guys, if you don't stop Nazis in their tracks they will walk all over you.
Also, such brave ICE officers abducting teenagers while carrying guns, couldn't think of anything less brave.

Knowing their handling of percentages, those numbers are probably just pulled out of their own asses.

Didn't they fire the last statistician that told them the truth? I'm %1,000,000 percent certain they did.
SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social · 9 pts · 363d
They did indeed. I'm still waiting on how the 500% price drop Trump announced for medicine will pay out.

“Here are your medications, citizen. And here is your bag of cash to apologize for having to take our medication.”
Yeah, right.

Math. Not even once.

From now on, you can't trust any statement the government puts out. Governments have always lied to save face, but this is a new level where they don't even have to pretend to have an argument or a spin on things. It's "Oops! All Lies!" because it's easier.
Why bother coming up with a plausible scenario when all anyone wants to know is the shit that already makes them feel good?

Most accurate comment I have ever read.
someguy3@lemmy.world · 55 pts · 363d
So are they just "randomly" arresting people and then checking their immigration status? Because that's what it sounds like.
Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works · 35 pts · 363d
That's what happens when you have a quota. Wasteful. Expensive. Destabilizing.
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net · 27 pts · 363d
Yes, that's what they are doing. You sound surprised.
onslaught545@lemmy.zip · 24 pts · 363d
They've abducted citizens doing this already

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any information on whether the dog was ultimately recovered or if he's still missing
Steve@startrek.website · 17 pts · 363d
Should I be angry that they just set it loose, or relieved that they didn’t stomp it to death for fun?
webghost0101@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 363d
I am both.
I hope dog, owner and family can reunite soon.
InputZero@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 362d
Yeah I was almost expecting to hear that the dog was shot on sight. Seriously what monsters abduct a child while walking their dog. Such patriotic duty.
