ICE is out of control and Trump wants them to go even further…including breaking standing laws!
The Republicans are allowing Trump to destroy our nation…despicable!
Over the last 20 years, none US citizens have comprised around 30% of our enlisted soldiers and hoping for a path to citizenship. Trump has nuked that source of talent and women and man power for the US Military. The amazing thing is Trump himself is a 5 time draft dodger…a cheat and a coward!
Now the US Military has a critical shortage of recruits!..no surprise given Trump.
Are Republicans (Mitch the little witch McConnell) planning to install a “real” military draft or are they going to allow Trump to destroy the military like he destroys everything else?
Cruelty is part and parcel of what it’s all about.
Cruel and stupid. It’s hard for me to imagine they didn’t even check his status.
Gives more strength to the narrative that ICE needs to be entirely disbanded and replaced from the ground up.
Disband ICE. Use the media to highlight important things like this, not accidental church fires in France.
It’s almost like our laws need changing or something. Why is ICE breaking their own rules on an undocumented immigrant just because he’s got a more press-worthy backstory than another?
i wonder if the qualities ‘malignant asshole’ are part of the check-offs for ice employment.
We spend $800 billion dollars a year on the military. It’s obscene. We have homeless, or sick, or hungry, or drug addicted citizens that go begging for help, with many never receiving it for lack of resources. Our infrastructure is crumbling. Our safety net is soon to be underfunded. We’re cutting funds to medical research and the environment. Our children are going broke paying off student debt.
Frankly the inability of the DoD to recruit soldiers is way down on my list of concerns, as it should be everyone’s. Maybe a few knots in their operation would have them thinking twice about invading Venezuela, drone bombing Syrian wedding parties or strafing Doctors Without Borders field hospitals.
Naw, they can train that part.
Now the US Military has a critical shortage of recruits!..no surprise given Trump.
The Ku Klux Klan is always available and I’m sure, would be proud to serve.

The soldiers who fought and died for your ability to lounge around and pontificate appreciate the feedback and support.
They just don’t care how many mistakes they make because usually the individuals affected don’t have the knowledge or resources to fight back once they’re removed from the US. It’s only brown people and Trump and his minions are fine with keeping/throwing them out.
I wonder if the slow down at the Canadian border for certain work visas for high level tech people in international businesses is simply a blind so they can say - see, we did stuff to whites folks too. It’s a very different process however.
Fuhrer Trump and Field Marshal Miller are probably not pleased!
“There are plenty of people you can go after but not a guy whose wife died in Afghanistan,” he said.
Although not exactly, because they did deport him even thought this:
While Gonzalez Carranza is an undocumented immigrant — he came to the U.S. from Mexico in 2004 as a teenager — he was granted a parole in place leniency after his wife was killed which was suppose to allow him to stay in the U.S. undocumented.
More precisely, they only follow the rules if they receive a lot of transparency and light, and they think that there might be consequences.
You mean Discount Hitler?
Well that’s the thing. Uniformed law enforcement agencies, being hierarchical and organized on paramilitary lines, are all about culture and acculturation from the top down. BCP and ICE, more than any other armed law enforcement units in the nation, are agencies that will, by the very nature of their missions, be recruiting magnets for the very worst sort of people: bigots, racists, sadists, authoritarians, the kind of people looking for an opportunity to harm powerless people with impunity. Because of that, absent a knowing and conscious effort to screen them out at the hiring stage, those people will make it in and eventually become the senior officers, making their individual proclivities the agency culture that gets transmitted to the mere careerists.
Another example of bad messaging on the part of Dems. They should be grabbing a hold of situations like this and blasting it out all over national media with messages about how Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds. This woman made the ultimate sacrifice so that her family can be here.
Which is precisely why the calls to abolish ICE aren’t off base at all.
There’re plenty of examples out there where paramilitary police forces have been disbanded by the authorities after outrageous acts, just to get rid of the rot that you lay out very well here.
