ICE snatched this old man from his home in his underwear taking him outside in the snow without once asking if he was a citizen and also without a warrant. No warrant and not even knowing who he was, just that he looked different. It took his son bring the ICE thugs his ID proving citizenship that they just left. They did not help him inside or apologize, just left. This is our tax dollars at work in the land of the free. Hugs
US citizen says ICE removed him from his home in his underwear without a warrant

ICE and — well, anyone in the Trump regime — will absolutely lie and treat everyone like shit without regard to any aspect of the case. They just keep ratcheting up the pain, hatred, and violence. Keep well. Hugs, M

Hi Michael. I just watched a news show, I think it was CNN where ICE thugs stopped a five-year-old on the way home, and there were like 1o of them surrounding this little boy, they asked him a bunch of questions about his parents, and then used him to get his parents door opened so they could snatch both him and his father. They got a five-year-old to open the door then detained him and his father. How the hell do these people sleep at night? How do they live with themselves? I did a lot of shit in the Army, I worked with Special ops repeatedly, I was shot at in East Berlin escorting VIPs back to the west, and I wouldn’t ever have thought my government would use a five-year-old against his own father. It is so upsetting to me. I can not imagine how you, a career officer must feel on this shit. If it upsets me it must burn you far deeper. Hugs

I just saw that, too, and they’re spinning the story like, oh, this man and his family are here illegally, where it was not the case. Infuriating! Hugs

Hi Michael. I am watching a video on The Majority Report about how 8 ICE officers pulling over a brown police officer in Maine. This guy was a citizen and he was threatened, roughed up, his belongings left unsecured and he was detained. The chief said that the story ICE put out was a total lie. They are going after anyone not white to racially purify the country. It sickens me. How do these people ever form the idea that skin color makes someone superior or inferior. I don’t get it at all. I have never understood it.
If you let me tell something from my Army days. I was a shift chief on a satellite site and my superiors came to me and told me I was going to be assigned a young black man who had discipline problems. I was to record his actions for his dismissal from the army. I took a different way.
The young man showed up on the site and his uniform was a total wreck but we were not that strict. I assigned him to do the site readings, something someone has to do each shift. I waited until he went out and came back then I went out and checked the readings. His were way off.
I took him to a private place and asked him why he faked the readings explaining how important they were. He was so dismissive. Then he said something that took me back. He said I knew you would just go do them anyway, you are like the rest thinking I can’t do anything right and I am going to be kicked out anyway no matter what I do.
He was so upset I went to check and so I explained it was my job to do so routinely no matter who did them and that I was required to do them after a new person did them so if there was an issue I could catch it. He seemed to understand and then I asked him what was really going on, tell me what the problem is.
He told me of his past assignments and the treatment he had gotten from the white guys. He felt I would be the same racist. Long story short I let him rage about his treatment then I talked. I got him to give me three months. If I couldn’t show him by how he was treated like everyone else he could leave the service and blame me, but if he put in the effort I would work with him and personally stand up for him at his hearing if there was one. I worked with him quietly showing him the things he should have already known but was not taught due to racism.
By the time I left the unit he was coming to the sat site in a crisp uniform that he took pride in, he had been promoted, and he was happy and one of the best techs we had. He came to me before I left and told me something I wondered about. He thanked me for just giving him a chance. For not prejudging him, for being will to work with him when he felt all whites in charge were just racist who wanted to hurt him. I told him he had earned it. He was a good technician. He told me that I was different in that I saw that but that many judged him on his skin color only. I still don’t understand that. He only needed the chance to be treated as everyone else. He was not asking for special treatment. Sad that our unit and the military almost lost a great tech due to racism and skin color. Something Kegseth our new sec of defense totally buys into. He is a white racist Nazi Christian nationalist. Anyway. A fleeting memory of a time I could help people. But as a gay man in the 1980s I understood being prejudged. Hugs
