If people didn’t see it before then they are willfully ignoring it now: this is white nationalism. A 5 year old and his dad, doing everything through the “proper” channels and they are detained. The dehumanization of non-whites keeps reaching new, even more disgusting levels.

Eternal shame be upon Trump, Miller & ICE as an organization.

Please, will some rational judge help these people?! Please turn this awful tide!

Everyone, call or write your representatives, protest, agitate. We need everyone to do their best! Thanks to all!

I have been a public junior and high school teacher here in Oxnard CA for the last 3 decades and have been telling my students that in spite of some of the unfortunate history, the police are generally "on our side" and trying to hopefully make it better. ICE is shredding that notion. I spoke with our Chief of police yesterday and he was explaining that the local police have no power over the feds to "protect our people." I don't agree. Of course there are many MAGA in law enforcement but I would wager that even some of them are uneasy about what ICE is doing. The border is effectively shut down, people are terrified, and these goons keep coming. These ICE goons are wearing "Police" on their body armor and doing damage to the brand. Jeff, keep pounding away we have your back and appreciate your commitment

As we can see by one of the comments above, The assumption by supporters of this demonic regime is that every person detained is ‘an illegal’….based on nothing more than skin color.

So heartbreaking. I see the trolls have found Jeff's blog. Hard to know what makes me feel sicker--the news, the behavior of some Americans or the fact that my dog was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and has to be put down. Bad day.

I’m so sorry about your fur baby. Been there, done that, still grieving 11 years later

They’re already defending it. Matching talking points. Just like when Renee Good was shot 3 times.

Oh, they’ll justify it. They’ll argue and rationalize and do everything but admit this is horrendous treatment of fellow human beings, especially a small child. Shameful.

So now we are are aware that this is yet another fake story created by the aforementioned conspiracy mongers. The kid was taken into custody for safety reasons when his father was arrested. Would you have authorities leave a 5 year old out in the cold?

How in the world did Minneapolis get infiltrated by illegals? Why are they trying to establish DACA rights that far north? What would force someone to leave their home in the comfortable warmth nearer the equator? Who funded this? Why? It's time for people from advanced or advancing economies to "get busy" themselves and close our borders. We can help them fix their own problems. Stop exporting them.

Two questions for you:

1. It has been well documented that ICE is targeting citizens and LEGAL immigrants. Why do you claim Minnesota is “infiltrated by illegals”?

2. Which European country did your ancestors emigrate from? Did your ancestors stay in southern parts of the US once they arrived here? Do you have relatives living in the Northern Tier of the midwest? How many Native people did they displace?

Note: DACA is a nationwide program, and that young people under DACA are here legally. DACA is not something that gets “established” in a particular region. Maybe you are confusing DACA with “birthright citizenship,” which is also perfectly legal, and is part of the US Constitution - just like gun rights are.

Please stop with these false claims about targeting "legal" citizens. None of them are legal. People are "reporting" that non-citizens are "legal". All it takes to be "legal" under some peoples definition is that they've been arrested and/or crossed illegally but haven't been deported yet. Again, why would someone come all the way up here? Answer that. Why? Is anyone going to fix that? Who? When? How?

Marcell Brickey's avatar

What are you saying? Why would someone come all the way up here? I don't know, desperation.....family......opportunity.?????? None of this is easy and be careful about referring to humans as "illegal"

Achtera's avatar

The legal definition is illegal aliens. Facts, not feelings.

Those just from Mexico cost us at least $63 billion a year in direct benefits costs, not counting many. In addition, they send $65 billion a year over the border via money transfer to fund their summer vacation homes. Conservative estimates of the cost is $1/2 Trillion a year, when expanded to include the weight. The last guy to say that in front of a crown was shot and killed.

The crime and corruption is rampant. So the real question is: "Who benefits from the corruption and crime?" - look to AIPAC

You could be presented with facts, verifiable facts, that directly contradict your claims and you still wouldn't believe it.

Folks, this person may or may not be a troll but I know for certain they are a waste of time to try to reason with. There is no point in engaging.

Marcell Brickey's avatar

What is the reference to someone being shot in front of a crown and killed?

Achtera's avatar

Don't change the subject - 1) Why are people escaping now to come up to Minnesota? What is the root cause? What are you supporting? We are a country of laws.
