Key excerpts:

The family had been staying with a relative in Los Angeles for the previous seven months after crossing the border legally for a court appointment through the now-defunct CBP One App to seek asylum in October of last year. They had been granted parole status in the U.S. while they waited for their day in immigration court.

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying," Mukherjee said. "The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

The 6-year-old boy has been diagnosed with leukemia and has missed a medical appointment to be treated for worsening symptoms

The Texas Civil Rights Project says the family has been placed in expedited removal, which allows for rapid deportation without a court hearing. The family's attorneys fear they could be deported before their lawsuit is heard.

We've seen what the trump admin thinks of the courts and the SCOTUS has usually backed him up.

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying,"

Now who here thinks this sentence sounds like law enforcement in action in real life and not an excerpt from a badly written gangbanger movie?

The kid having leukemia makes this very much a cruel an unusual decision. Can't say "punishment" since they'd argue it's not a punishment, just bureaucracy. But them not being able to known where they're gonna even have to go looking for healthcare is just horrific.

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 18 points 14 hours ago

ah yes the damn children with blood cancer taking our jobs, the dangerous threat to society providing money for privatized healthcare by trying to stay alive

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I do not care the reason, if you have scared a 6 year old so bad he’s pissed himself, then you are indeed the “baddie”…

No child should suffer this kind of trauma at the hand of an adult. And if they do, than that adult responsible needs the ever lovin’ shit beat out of them. Period. End of sentence.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Problem is those "adults" (in name only) hide their cowardess behind firearms.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

And masks, even a firearm isn't enough to make them feel safe. They know they're pieces of shit and want to hide who they are.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

Yes, that too.

[–] knighthawk0811@lemmy.world 121 points 1 day ago (2 children)

the fact that ICE is targeting anyone at immigration court tells us all exactly how hateful they and this admin is. these are people who are literally going through the legal system of immigration. they are not the same criminals that are publicly being talked about by the administration.

ice is specifically targeting good people because it's easy to get the list. using courts, using IRS fillings, profiling on the streets.

they are lazy. ice is purposefully not doing the work of finding and stopping real criminals. they are doing everything they can to avoid criminals. they are cowards, lazy cowards who only pretend to love this country but really they love the feeling they get when their boot is on someone's neck.

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wasn't it less than a year ago Republicans were saying they were okay with immigration, they just want people to go through the legal process

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 5 points 14 hours ago

I don't know, I was too busy eating cats and dogs.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We all knew that was a lie for most of them. They just didn't have the power or public support. It's not that they have more support now, but the support is way more public.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 14 hours ago

The have the power of all three branches of government, they don't need the public anymore.

And anyway, the public will forget before the next election anyway, they will just make eggs more expensive or butter, or something.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 187 points 1 day ago (6 children)

how long are these fucking nazis going to be allowed to run rampant? because if it wasn't clear before, then it 100% is now, that it was NEVER about "rapists and murderers" or even "illegals"

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

As long as they don't face any consequences they have no reason to stop.

No, suing ICE is not consequences for the Nazi's rounding up "undesirables" because they aren't the ones paying for it. ICE doesn't care either, they're already over budget anyway, more tax payer money will come from somewhere.

[–] dinren@discuss.online 90 points 1 day ago (29 children)

Pretty sure they will keep on doing this until we start doing it to them and their families. More effort needs to be taken to identify them and humiliate them.

[–] orionsbelt@midwest.social 63 points 1 day ago (5 children)

A Responsible List

The ICE List is a public, open-source effort to document the people responsible for enforcing deportation, separating families, and carrying out immigration raids in the United States.

[–] vala@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Site's down.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 2 points 13 hours ago

Looks like it's getting slammed right now

[–] CorruptCheesecake@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The first person that popped up when I clicked it was a freed Jan 6th rioter. Fucking disgusting. This awful administration is a disgrace filled with traitors and cowards.

For as long as there is a nazi regime. And it is only going to get worse as soon as they have normalised this current level, which seems to be well under way.

[–] Carmakazi@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (9 children)

It ends when a lot of them are dead, or all of us are dead.

Individual names.

[–] CorruptCheesecake@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why do these thugs always strike a pose when there's a camera? Crossing their arms, crossing their legs, leaning back as if they're Clint Eastwood. Fucking cosplayers, all of them.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 36 points 1 day ago

Such brave heroes of the nation, who feel the need to intimidate a six‑year‑old leukaemia patient with a gun. /s

Absolutely evil and pathetically coward.

[–] SirMaple__@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 day ago

ICE is a bunch of scumbags.

[–] cuteness@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Perhaps DOGE should be installed at ICE and lay off all these pieces of shit instead of making it harder for people to get the benefits they already paid for.

There seems to be a ton of fraud waste and abuse going on at ICE.

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

~~lay~~ off

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm disgusted with my country.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm disgusted and afraid for my safety in my country

[–] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I'm disgusted more people in this country aren't equally or more disgusted by all the disgusting shit happening in front of our eyes.

[–] Eddbopkins@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

trump administration is afraid of sickly children. something like this doesn't happen by mistake. it takes people a specific group of evil scum bag people to do something like this.

[–] imrighthere@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 day ago

Shithole joke of a country. Holy fucking shit.
