There's a whole lot of this.  My wife has commented flatly "I will not have my children and grandchildren wondering for even a moment whether I was complicit, or whether I stood with humanity."

That is 100% where we are as a society.  Are you the kind of person who would have hidden Anne Frank, or the kind who would turn her in?  There's no middle fucking ground.

With that many ICE people in town, it makes me sad that we no longer have malaria epidemics in New Orleans.

Yellow fever got the job fucking DONE.  Time to bring it back.

Honestly, I suspect RFK will get us there sooner than you think.

@Brisketexan's wife is shaming me into being less tame.

There is a non-zero chance that within the next year, she'll be shot in the face with a pepperball by some ICE asshole, arrested, or both.  All while wearing her clerical collar, clearly marking herself as clergy.

And those dumbasses don't realize that will just piss her off even more.

it’s probably good that I’m sitting in the Capital One lounge at the airport pounding free bloody Marys prior to flying to New York City for turkey day - because odds of getting arrested in New Orleans are greater than I’d prefer.

For those planning to engage in good trouble, make sure you and someone you trust have access to a reasonable amount of cash for bail. Write phone #s on your arm.

There's a whole manual out there.  For real.  Like, particular rules and procedures for peaceful demonstrations, designated persons in safe positions with a roster of participants (so all can be accounted for).  They will even hand out color-coded wrist-bands for those who are okay with being arrested, those who will leave on being told they will be arrested, etc.  Resources are available online, and you would be well-served by consulting with them, and/or participating with an organized group (there are many civil and social justice organizations actively involved).

Family of East Texas man detained near Mexico border pleads for his release

Border authorities detained Caden for carrying a pistol and bullets he possessed legally in Texas. He has waited for his release in a Mexican jail for nine months.

Authorities detained Caden for carrying a pistol and bullets he obtained and possessed legally in Texas.

In a phone call to his family, he said he expected to return to their home in Hallsville soon. That was nine months ago.

"And so he told my parents not to worry," his sister, Haley Hawkins, said. "He would pay the money, get out of jail in 24 to 48 hours. That's just what we hoped for, and it unfortunately did not unfold like that."

Those hours turned into days, and those days into months. Caden was detained in March, and has since been waiting for judges to set an appeal.

"You come to our country, you have to respect our borders and our laws."  Right, MAGA?

Oh, and "detained near Mexico border".....fuck that namby-pamby misleading bullshit.  He was detained IN MEXICO, ON THEIR SIDE OF THE BORDER.

Pretty reasonable stance by Mexico considering their past and present. If you can barely control los indios/bandidos/carteles/whatever-they-call-em-next-year, you don't need to encourage extra filibusteros and other pirates trying to peel off new strips of land.

Oh right. He "forget."

Woman with family connection to White House press secretary arrested by ICE in Revere, Mass.

REVERE, Mass. —

A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.

The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.

 

Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.

Michael Leavitt released a statement, saying that his "only concern has always been the safety, well-being, and privacy of [his] son."

In a conversation with WCVB-TV sister station WMUR-TV, Michael Leavitt, a New Hampshire resident, said that his son lives with him and his wife full-time, but that Ferreira has maintained a relationship with her son.

Michael Leavitt told WMUR that he always tried to maintain a relationship with Ferreira. He said their son has not spoken to Ferreira since she was detained by ICE several weeks ago.

Todd Pomerleau, an attorney who represents Ferreira, says she came to the U.S. under DACA or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an Obama-era program that shielded immigrants brought to the country from deportation.

"She’s in the process of actually getting her residency and she was abruptly arrested and taken from her young child right before Thanksgiving," Pomerleau said.

According to a statement provided to WCVB from a source familiar with the matter, Karoline Leavitt has not spoken to Ferreira in many years:

"This individual is the mother of Karoline’s nephew and they have not spoken in many years. The child has lived full-time in New Hampshire with his father since he was born. He has never resided with his mother."

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson also released the following statement on Ferreira's arrest:

"ICE arrested Bruna Caroline Ferreria, a criminal illegal alien from Brazil. She has a previous arrest for battery. She entered the U.S. on a B2 tourist visa that required her to depart the U.S. by June 6, 1999," the statement read. "She is currently at the South Louisiana ICE Processing Center and is in removal proceedings. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, all individuals unlawfully present in the United States are subject to deportation.”

However, Pomerleau says that Ferreira has no criminal record.

"Bruna has no criminal record whatsoever," Pomerleau said. "I don’t know where that is coming from. Show us the proof. There’s no charges out there. She’s not a criminal illegal alien."

Karoline Leavitt is a native of New Hampshire and unsuccessfully ran for Congress before becoming White House Press Secretary. She has declined to comment on the matter.

Question: why are so many ice detainees moved to places so far away from where they were apprehended?  Massachusetts to Louisiana?  Are they just trying to use extra taxpayer money to transport them?
