The world is a steaming pile of shit but there is a human capybara outside Solamachi right now and in this moment that is all that matters.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.

Get your lies straight.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Yes, a very important distinction.
“Deported” is really the wrong word here. Normally we deport people and then they’re free in the destination country. This guy was abducted and is being held in constructive U.S. custody without trial in a foreign concentration camp.
El Salvador’s government rebuffed a request Wednesday from Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland) to free Kilmar Abrego García, whose case has become a flash point in the battle over President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign since the administration mistakenly deported him last month.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

I don't think people who DO have a criminal record should be disappeared to a Salvadoran prison either

I'm enjoying the memes as much as you but let's not forget that the US killed at least 50 people and injured at least another 50, including children, in Sanaa.
