Mais arrêter & placer des mômes en rétention car ils sont étrangers, la France fait cela aussi.
Elle a même été condamnée 12 fois (!) par la CEDH pour cela.
Et aujourd’hui encore, elle continue de le faire à Mayotte.

Le gouvernement qui met en œuvre l’article 44 al 2 de la Constitution pour supprimer des sous-amendements non examinés en commission, alors même que l’amendement qu’ils visaient à sous-amender n’a lui même pas été soumis à la commission, c’est assez audacieux quand même.

Nous sommes tous horrifiés par la manière dont le gouvernement américain traite les migrants — ainsi que ses propres citoyens lorsque leur taux de mélanine dépasse un certain seuil.
Mais les germes de la cruauté et de la déshumanisation sont présents chez nous aussi.
Cessons de les arroser.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Trump: "There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all over the place. And they are losers. One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worse that country is doing. I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China."

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.
