Racism. No need to write a whole essay, let’s just cut right to the heart of the matter.

ICE are horrible people in a government of fascists, that is why

Because they’re illiterate goons hired to exhaust the US supply of handcuffs for the chance at a bonus.
Because they’re racist assholes who target anyone not white or white presenting.

Just as this man will be Mexican at the end of the day, as far as ICE is concerned, TRUMP WILL BE A PEDOPHILE AT THE END OF THE DAY, AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED.

Yes, why indeed did ICE target (checks notes) Miguel Silvestre, for deportation?
I mean this is a real mystery why Miguel Silvestre was targeted.
Does anyone have any theories why Miguel Silvestre would be in their crosshairs? Seems odd. Miguel Silvestre was born in the US. No reason for Miguel Silvestre to be targeted.
We need some investigative journalists on this.

They’re targeting by skin color and they don’t believe in birthright citizenship because their King repealed the 14th Amendment just by thinking it.

Because the job postings for ICE agents spanned all over my city on Indeed etc. just require US citizenship, a GED and some exposure to a customer service environment. They’re legit looking for high school grad McDonald’s employees
Oh and the salary is like minimum 85k. I image a lot of high schools students signing up for this, heck they’d be stupid not to if they didn’t have other plans

Bigotry. Trump wants to deport only people he doesn’t like.
kaveman6143 on
He is Hispanic looking, that’s all there is to it. They arrest, kidnap, and harass based on appearances only.
SpicyChanged on
He’s brown..
In the united states that’s always the fucking reason.

Because there is a Latino genocide now. Laura loomer, one of trumps closest advisors, said it. Every single Latino and Latina is on the deportation list.

just give me my bounty $$$$$$ cause there’s no repercussions to just scooping up random brown people

Because Nosferatu’s cousin Steven Miller set a quota ICE (bless their snug little brown shirts) can’t keep up with. They’re taking anyone they can get their hands on.

Wrong color. Wrong family name. That’s all they need to deport anyone. It’s sick and unconstitutional.

Because it’s about fear. That’s the same reason they’re masked. MAGA wants control, and they know they can get it by terrorizing people. Think the KKK or the brown shirts in Germany.

Because he is brown with a Hispanic sounding name would be my guess.
ICE is basically a bunch of racists bullies who don’t give af about the law, the constitution, or even basic morality.
aloofman75 on
Because now ICE’s job is to terrorize brown-skinned people, not apprehend criminals. Trump and his people assume that’s who the criminals are.

Racism. The answer is racism.

Because he is not the right skin color. Fascists are gonna do what fascists do. This isn’t rocket surgery. We all know the answer to this question, every time it’s asked.

I hate calling things “distractions” when everything is genuinely important and the tactic is really “flood the zone.”
THAT SAID, anyone noticed how little we’re hearing of ICE this week? The problem is ongoing. People are still being swept off the streets, including people here legally and people attending their immigration hearings. People are still in deplorable conditions in Florida.
And there’s hardly a whisper above the scandal and every minuscule detail and sound bite.
Tin foil hat, but *is it possible* that the incredible hype is designed to keep our eyes off the destruction of our civil rights?

Because ICE is how you spell KKK now.
