Your Lordship/Honor, you don’t have to be appalled, they are running a concentration camp, sanctioned by The President who in turn is empowered by the SCOTUS. So you see…?

Example. Unprofessional ICE agents picked someone up when they had no legal right to.
They treated her like shit and detained her.
The judge let her go because ICE doesn’t care about the law.
ICE is nothing more than Trump/GOP’s version of the Nazi SS.
Explain to me how this isn’t a crime against humanity?
Damn dude. Can’t believe they got blasted.
Next you’ll tell me they got slammed in a strongly worded letter.
She might want to look into the torture cage called ‘the box’ in Alligator Alcatraz
At what point will the judge hold ICE agents responsible for illegally detaining people. Until they are held accountable they will not stop. They will just double down. They appear to be virtually lawless at this point. There is nothing in the government that will hold them accountable.
The judge ought to order an inspection of ICE detention facilities. I think he’d be more than appalled. He should also investigate the records for the women and children who have been abducted by ICE. I wonder how many of them have been trafficked?
$29B and ICE/DHS couldn’t even buy these poor people some food.
Gestapo = ICE
Wait until the judge finds out they don’t intend to feed them after court either, or ever if they could.
How about feeding people in general agnostic of their court date?
‘Absolutely appalled’: Judge blasts ICE for failing to feed detainee before court

A 22-year-old ICE detainee was awakened about 2 a.m. in the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma and then driven to federal court in Eugene Monday. She arrived for a 9:30 a.m. hearing without having been fed any breakfast, according to court testimony.Grace Deng/Washington State Standard
When a 22-year-old woman in immigration custody took the witness stand Monday and said she hadn’t had anything to eat since she was rousted at 2 a.m. for the drive from a detention center in Tacoma to federal court in Eugene, the judge immediately halted the hearing.
“OK, that’s unacceptable,” U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken said about eight minutes into the 9:30 a.m. hearing.
Aiken said she wouldn’t continue until federal officers fed her. The judge even offered up her own lunch so the woman wouldn’t go hungry.
“I’m extraordinarily upset and disappointed that’s how we’re treating people,” she said.
Aiken directed the U.S. Department of Justice lawyers on the case to relay her disgust to their bosses.
“That should never happen. I am absolutely appalled,” the judge said. “That needs to go all the way up the chain. We do not treat people this way, period, and I mean that.
“We are all working to make sure that a system that has been flooded unnecessarily in a crisis without preparation is still going to hold onto the principles of dignity, respect, the rule of law and the humane treatment of people,” Aiken said. “We are not some of those other countries that do not respect and treat people in our custody the way she’s just been treated. I will not tolerate it.”
Less than five minutes later, the hearing proceeded, but not without Aiken asking the woman, a Guatemalan national referred to only by her initials MLGG, what U.S. marshals gave her to eat.
“Would you please ask what she was served?” the judge asked, turning to a Mam interpreter.
The woman, back on the witness stand, said she was given two ham-and-cheese sandwiches, an apple, some chips and water.
By the end of the hearing, Aiken ordered the woman’s immediate release from detention, finding far more than 90 days had passed since the government had ordered her removal when she was a child.
Immigration law calls for placing people under supervision if they don’t leave or aren’t deported following a 90-day removal period from when their deportation order becomes final.
Failure to appear in court for a removal proceeding isn’t justification for mandatory detention, Aiken said.
MLGG’s deportation order became final in 2017.
“So she’ll be released,” Aiken ordered from the bench, “and she’ll be released now.”
MLGG was one of 28 people detained by ICE officers on Oct. 30 in Woodburn, according to her lawyers Jordan Cunnings and Stephen Manning of the nonprofit Innovation Law Lab.
She was riding in a van to go to work to make wreaths on a holly farm when officers pulled over the van about 5:30 a.m. They handcuffed and arrested her.
Officers first brought her to the Portland ICE office, then drove her to Tacoma. By Nov. 5, officials had moved her to the South Louisiana ICE processing center, according to court testimony.
MLGG has lived in Woodburn for seven years with a younger sibling and a friend. She doesn’t speak English and was never arrested for any crime while in the United States, her lawyers said.
Natalie Lerner, the woman’s initial immigration attorney who met her at the Portland ICE office before her removal to Tacoma, testified Monday that she had trouble finding where federal agents were holding MLGG and then had limited access – one hourlong call a week – when she found MLGG in Louisiana.
Cunnings argued that ICE officers had no reasonable suspicion or probable cause to arrest the woman and have provided no legal justification since her arrest.
MLGG entered the U.S. near El Paso, Texas, from Mexico as a child with her father in December 2016.
An immigration judge ordered her deportation a year later when she was 14 after neither she nor her father showed up at immigration court on July 27, 2017, according to court testimony.
She testified that she was unaware she faced a deportation order until she was transported to the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma on Oct. 30 after her arrest.
Justice Department lawyer Joshua Keller said MLGG was subject to mandatory detention because she hadn’t made any attempt to obtain legal status in the United States since her deportation order.
Her lawyers didn’t contest that she faced a removal order but said the government missed its mark to place her under supervision when the deportation period expired.
The Department of Homeland Security could have asserted mandatory detention of MLGG during the 90-day removal period following her final 2017 deportation order, Cunnings said.
“But once that period elapses … the law presumes that a noncitizen will be released from custody and placed on an order of supervision,” Cunnings argued.
If the government sought to detain MLGG beyond the 90-day removal period, only the executive associate director of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations can issue a detention order after assessing an immigrant’s flight risk, possible danger to the community or ties to the United States.
“It’s uncontested that no such individualized review took place, in this case, much less by a properly designated official,” Cunnings said.
“This regulation is not pro forma,” she said. “It’s not a housekeeping requirement. It’s an important procedural safeguard, and that’s why the requirement that it be only made by the executive associate director ensures that her right to liberty is not restricted without consideration by a senior enough official.”
Cunnings said some of their clients in the past have been released from detention with an ankle monitor but she argued that there’s no justification for placing one on MLGG.
Tje judge agreed. “No ankle monitor,” Aiken said.
The judge made sure MLGG would be released directly from the federal court in Eugene with “ordinary, standard conditions,” as she seeks a review of her immigration status and seeks asylum. If the government sought any special conditions of supervision, Aiken said its lawyers would have to run them by her before issuing them.
The Innovation Law Lab lawyers said last week in a related case that they plan to file a class-action lawsuit in response to what they alleged was an illegal “dragnet” in Woodburn in October and November and an “ongoing scheme to violate statutory and constitutional rights of Oregonians” to reach high deportation quotas.
Blasts? Did any of these Gestapo go to jail for violations of civil rights? Then you haven’t done anything. Nazis don’t have shame. Nazis don’t argue in good faith. Nazis don’t belong in a democratic country, either put these animals in cages or put them on a boat and push it into the ocean.
If the legal system isn’t going to protect citizens‘ rights from a jurisdictionless bunch of extra-judicial, unlicensed and illegal thugs, then people are going to end up doing it themselves. This is obviously a ploy to try to force people into armed resistance to try to justify martial law to subvert elections.
There needs to be legal consequence for illegal actions by people representing the government, or this whole thing falls apart.
We live in a reality where lies run around the world while the truth hides behind a paywall.
Ding dong the king is dead
> Aiken directed the U.S. Department of Justice lawyers on the case to relay her disgust to their bosses.
Oh, sure, I’m sure these Nazi thugs of our new American Gestapo will get *right on that*.
In fact they might after all, so as to get praise from their bosses instead.
This judge should have issued arrest warrants for the agents for violation of the victim’s Constitutional Rights instead, if that’s even possible.
He should have blasted food instead, ice doesn’t have any nutrients
Sick of seeing “journalism” use these stupid buzzwords of “blast” and “slam.”
Drivel. Report when they face consequences. Until then call it what it is: words with no action.
Cruelty is the point of Trump’s administration. Plain and simple as that.
For those in the back, ‚Cruelty is the point. ‚
>“That should never happen. I am absolutely appalled,” the judge said. “That needs to go all the way up the chain. We do not treat people this way, period, and I mean that.

I will not tolerate it.”
It must be so strange to hear the judge say this right after having lived through it. We plainly *do* treat people this way. This incident isn’t a fluke, an aberration, an accident, or an error. We do this kind of thing systematically, with intentionality, and throughout our immigration system. This is being done in our names, with our tacit permission or at least under the cover of our own collective willful ignorance. A judge can say that we’re all striving for a system where everyone is treated with principles of dignity and respect, but it plainly isn’t so: a good number of „us“ are overtly working in direct opposition to these principles.
I’m glad the judge is angry, many more of us should be… but this problem is so much bigger. The detainee, now freed, is quite likely to be picked up again. There’s no protection against that. That’s who we are, that’s the society we have permitted them to build for us.
