US Border Patrol detained a nursing mother and separated her from her infant daughter to the point that she needed medical attention as a result of not being able to nurse
She was released more than 12 hours later.
These ICE agents are monsters. Those directing them are even worse.
"Just following orders"
Honestly every single one of them deserves to have their names and faces on public record
Just why? It makes no logical sense to take an infant from their mother.
Pure cruelty and lack of thought.
Fire each and every person involved in that decision.
The cruelty is the point. No one is getting fired.
If they unlawfully detained her, they should be prosecuted for false imprisonment and be imprisoned themselves upon conviction
Daily reminder to all my non-American homies. For the love of god do not travel to the US unless you absolutely have to.
The risk is not worth it and they dont deserve your money.
Find somewhere else to vacation. Limit it to absolutely necessary travel only.
I was just at a get together yesterday, and even standard white citizens are afraid to leave the country, fearing they'll have a hard time when they return. We're hearing lots of stories of people being grilled about their social media accounts, their opinions of the government and the president, etc. Eventually they'll start turning away American citizens for their political views, stranding them in another country without documentation.
The cruelty is the point, as ever.
Why?
"If you don't look Aryan, we want you to feel like this is not a country you're welcome in. Get out." Is the message they're passing, with illegal cruelty as the medium.
I was 'welcome home'd by a US CBP officer after flying into Washington from Africa...I'm not an American, and don't have American residency, but I'm white and speak with a neutral dialect.
I think you're right.
Cruelty is the point. These fuckers have no souls.
Having immigration control interfere with healthcare facilities is disgusting
Babies need to feed around the clock. Our humanity disappearing fast.
This isn't new. In the first administration, they were separating nursing mothers, and non-verbal toddlers. Despite the efforts of the Biden administration, nearly 1000 children have still not been reunited with their parents, and likely never will be.
And that doesn't include the kids who ended up trafficked as sex workers or house slaves.
That policy was never properly investigated. If we ever get out of this, it will be important to investigate EVERY allegation of criminal activity by the MAGA Nazis, and prosecute every perpetrator. No mercy, no forgiveness.
Just one scandal to the next. Their blitzkrieg is exhausting (and by design).
This is misogyny at work. They have no idea how painful a milk blockage can be, and if there was a female officer present she was not heard.
Of course this is only one aspect of everything that is wrong here.
I work with little babies and this makes me so mad knowing how traumatic this would be.
The cruelty is the point
It's what they enjoy
Anyone who didn't vote for Harris contributes to this.
Why couldn't the democrats come up with a progressive candidate instead of making this a rightwing vs rightwing race? Aren't political parties supposed to make people want to vote for them?
Blaming voters for the failings of a political party will never be a viable strategy.
The "protest voters" did not meaningfully impact the election.
If you beleive otherwise you are deepthroating propaganda meant to make us infight
You're honestly not wrong. But just like Reddit and IRL people here vote emotionally instead of rationally.
Things that divide us further are just distractions from class warfare, by keeping us at each other's throats with culture wars.
The real battle has always been class wars, and those in power maintain their positions by getting us peons to go at each other's throats instead of theirs.
Yes yes, voting for a right wing campaign calling unapologetically for the most lethal military while committing genocide is the moral choice that you made.
You mean the Genocide that Trump DEFINITELY stopped? The one that DEFINITELY isn't still ongoing? That Genocide? Yeah that's what I thought. How's that boot leather taste?
Morality exists in the context of the available options. We all wish there was a better choice. There wasn't. Deal with it and make the choice you need to like a real adult
You’re not making sense, please elaborate. Are you agreeing or disagreeing?
The US is a no travel zone for me, on par with Russia.
The "supernatural miracle" being the very natural support of human orgs.
Yeah wtf has her God got to do with freeing her lol
I'm not religious and I don't agree with the train of thought but I would think it's probably something akin to "god sent these people to help me"
The lead in the pipes is obviously doing these “miracles”
Get fucked, man. You're stripping away your own humanity just to dunk on a woman and her fucking child who, by all accounts, were in a horrible situation under awful conditions.
You're a shitty atheist (or whatever the fuck you may or may not believe in). Worse, you're a shitty person.
Go touch grass dickhead
