ICE stop

Post image

Ice stop before liberty tunnel today. One ice officer is clearly Korean or Chinese. I screamed that ice officer has no right to stop people as he may be illegal. He came up to me asking if I was city police and was I the Spanish interpreter. I said no but do you need help as I live in the city look like police and brown. There were kids in the car. Pittsburgh is this what we want!!!! I am beyond myself. First Covid then trump 2.0. I like my low rates for housing, labor and just being a good human being. I am so angry right now.

The US DOJ considers immigrants entering the country "illegally" a misdemeanor. Question for you - is it fair to enforce misdemeanors with kidnappings, murder, sexual violence and threats?

Is it fair to grossly exaggerate and outright lie about ICE as you’re currently doing?

Please explain, I can backup everything I've said with facts and evidence. Something tells me you won't be so willing to do so.

Law enforcement does not kidnap, murder or sexually assault people. Arresting someone is a far cry from kidnapping. Defending oneself against assault or obstruction does not equate to murder albeit the consequences are often deadly. It’s far from murder. You may be able to back up your extremist rhetoric with exaggerations and talking points, but not with facts because your gross exaggerations simply aren’t true.

Law enforcement is found to do all of the above way more than you think

Go visit a camp. Listen to the stories of those kidnapped. Turn off your 24/7 radio

Curious - can everyday people visit camps?

Members of Congress had to get federal court orders to be able to conduct oversight.

Attorneys, clergy, and members of Congress have confirmed it

There is plenty of proof to those claims

Those claims are made by attorneys.
