ICE at work
âUnprecedentedâ mass releases of migrants strain churches to limit
Busloads of asylum seekers dumped at a Greyhound station near the border in El Paso, Texas, over Christmas leave volunteers and shelters scrambling
'Unprecedented' mass releases of migrants strain churches to limit | US immigration | The Guardian
But the church feels like a brief haven. Surprisingly, perhaps, they were dropped directly at the doorstep by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agency, in a bus with 25 other migrants, after a week of being held in detention by the US authorities.
Sometimes, churches and shelters get word from Ice that they are bringing people released from detention into the care of family or sponsors in the US. But not always. Chaos broke out over Christmas in the nearby border city of El Paso, Texas, after Ice dumped more than 200 people at the Greyhound bus station there, and planned to bring more. They were told to sleep rough, not bother anyone and figure out for themselves, with no warning or provisions, how to reach relatives, according to local reports.
Local volunteers hurriedly brought food, water and cellphones to help those stranded and bewildered, while area shelters, full to capacity, tried to find places for them to stay.
Speechless and horrified.
Is having your heart extracted before taking a top job a requirement for this administration?
What this statement/testimony shows is that Nielsen is ill equipped to run this department, and maybe any other type of department. She helped kill thousands by her lack of understanding the situation on the ground in New Orleans after Katrina, why should we expect that she learned anything from that fiasco? Oh and those were American citizens, on American soil, being left to drown because she didnât know what the hell she was doing.
Nice try. After two years of rampant brutality, where the brutality was the obvious message, blame a childâs death on the longtime advocates of a sane approach.
What did you expect form this woman, she is probably enjoying itâŚ

I hope she receives a subpoena immediately on January 3rd to testify before a House committee on January 4th.
Nielsen embodies all the characteristics of a member of the Trump administration. She is incompetent, ignorant, without empathy, cruel and ugly. A person with any redeeming human characteristic is right out of this maladministration. I would wish Nielsen great guilt and remorse if I thought her capable of such reflection. What a horror show.
Someone ask for her membership card back please, she has broken the Terms of Service in the Human Race.
This woman is going to burn in Hell for the death of these children.
Of course this is the same Kirstjen Nielsen who told Congress she didnât know whether Nordic countries are primarily populated by white people.
Garbage people all the way down.
Worst Person In the World
And this administration enjoys the unwavering support of the far right evangelicals!! Perversion!!
Nausea? That doesnât sound like âjust a coldâ.
If the journey is longer and more arduous than itâs been in the ten prior year without any deaths, then itâs because the Trump Administration is making them stand in line for weeks once they get to our border asking for asylum. If disease is threatening to run rampant through the masses huddled on the other side, well, look at every refugee camp everywhere for how that happens; allowing people to stay in houses and apartments with their families is always going to be a healthier situation for children than sleeping in crowds under makeshift tents.
Her explanation is stupid crazy on all fronts. Itâs almost like she wants these children to die, to âsend a messageâ - to the 30% here, actually, not to the desperate people fleeing violence in Central America, people who still have to calculate their odds of survival better if they leave. Willful incompetence.
Took the words right off my keyboard = I was just getting ready to post a comment that said that.
OT. He has my rapt attention.
How long have they been waiting for the Rapture?
I wish it would get here already - air lift these motherfuckers out of here.
[Quote] She then launched into a diatribe concerning the uptick in illegal crossings in recent months, casting blame on a âsystemâ that seemingly ârewards parents for sending their children across the border aloneâ and a broken asylum process as incentivizing factors in the increase in illegal traffic.[/Quote] Isnât part of the reason the asylum process is broken because Ilsa and her brownshirts have closed many of the legal ports of entry to asylum seekers?
She fits in well with Donald, nothing is ever their fault.
Good start to your day!
