> Liam Ramos, a preschooler, and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway... Liam and his father had just arrived home when they were detained... the father’s car was still running...
> An agent had taken Liam out of the car, led the boy to his front door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in, “in order to see if anyone else was home – essentially using a five-year-old as bait”
> Stenvik said another adult living in the home was outside during the encounter and had pleaded to take care of Liam so the boy could avoid detention, but was denied...
> Marc Prokosch, an attorney representing the family, said the family had an active asylum case and shared paperwork showing the father and son had arrived to the US at a port of entry, meaning an official crossing point.
> “The family did everything they were supposed to in accordance with how the rules have been set out,” he said. “They did not come here illegally. They are not criminals.” He said there was no order of deportation against them.
Stop reading your government propaganda, touch grass (or snow), and get your head screwed on straight by reading the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.
Never mind that the cathedral's poison was so insidious precisely because it was bundled along with a bunch of actually-worthwhile ideals, responsible for our country's prosperity and leadership position in the world.
But I guess people like you are just too infatuated with destructionist grievance politics and a false dichotomy of blue authoritarianism vs red authoritarianism to wake up to the actual reality of our individual liberties being completely destroyed. Just as long as it happens to "those people" first, amirite?
It feels like I'm writing the same comments I was writing around 2014-2016, just to a different flavor of true believer.
America is big and powerful because it 1) has suffered only one catastrophic national event in its entire history (the Civil War), 2) has a huge abundance of natural resources and 3) managed to swoop in at the end of TWO different world wars back-to-back in order to cement itself as the party in the position to reap the most significant advantages. Not because it was universalist.
My school district is shutting down schools because there aren't enough children anymore [0]. We're one of the best public school districts nationally. "Foreigners" clearly aren't eating up resources.
Doesn't matter anyhow - those of us who can afford to live in rich school districts win either way.
The culture war you are fighting is for plebs - those of us with money and network win either way.

Sounds like they followed the rules and laws. Homeland Security calls everyone they detain illegal aliens but doesn't have to prove that either.
