She was kidnapped, and is being held somewhere against her will. This is absolutely insane, and not at all surprising. Doesn’t seem like the actual law enforcement will do anything about it? Or perhaps they are the ones feeding the info to the collaborators?

That has to be terrifying for her family.

Law enforcement does not have to do anything. A person could walk up to you in front of a police officer and stab you to death in full view of a crowd of people, and the cop is under no legal obligation to stop them.

she was taken to the border at San Ysidro, where she was presented with self-deportation paperwork.

"But when Juli refused to sign the paperwork, when Juli demanded to see a judge, when Juli demanded to speak to an attorney, she was punished," the attorney said. "She was taken back to an unmarked van along with other travelers who were also insisting on their rights, and taken to a warehouse where she was only given water. A warehouse where she was not given food. A warehouse, where men and women were held together. A warehouse without any law enforcement employee, without any official there present," he added.

We're paying for this ethnic cleansing campaign. Tax dollars are going to abducting brown folks at gunpoint.

Imma just drop this here for a reminder that these people are probably paid by Agent Orange and his diaper assistants:

Nazis Paid Bounty Hunters to Turn In Jews, Book Says

"Dutch bounty hunters in the pay of the Nazis captured thousands of Dutch men, women and children during World War II and sent them to their deaths in concentration camps, a new book says."

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

history sanitizes these assholes as "collaborators". and then talks about people that did the nazis' laundry. or worked in the brewhouse or maybe helped with local councils or something, as if the launderer and wait staff really had a choice, or there weren't gangs actively helping with the hunt.

[–] Luouth@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

There were definitely people at the start of the Nazi regime who agreed with Hitler and his way of thinking enough to voluntarily join in/accept payment for acts like this. I am merely highlighting that history has a tendency to repeat itself... get ready for Shitler to force people into doing his bidding when enough people decide they won't act on their own accord

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. I totally agree.

guess my point is that the ICE agents need to look at what happened to collaborators after the nazis were removed. it's not going to end well for them.

[–] Luouth@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I live in hope that one day, and sooner than it took mopping up the Nazi collaborators, all of these people will be jailed or worse.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

you and me both.

Let's not forget the realities of capitalism. When money rules our societies, and when money can buy you literally anything, you will always be able to incentivize people to do anything at all.

I think humans are inherently moral creatures, but if you put them under artificial constraints like economic scarcity, or in prison camps, or otherwise force them to survive under some level of duress, they will always do what they need to to survive.

Combine that with powerful national rhetoric and uniformed men with guns telling you what is right and tell you what to do and we're beyond the concept of free will underpinning the foundations of morality.

Just see the Milgram experiment.

The human mind is supremely easy to manipulate.

[–] Trashcan@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

I wonder what would happen if you opened fire against these attempts? If you are not identifying yourself as law enforcement, one would fear for ones life and could open fire and protect oneself?

A guy in Huntington Beach just had his front door literally blown off at 6am and home raided while his wife and young kids were sleeping in the home because he accidently rear ended an unmarked pickup truck that happened to be full of ICE agents a week prior. They accused him of doing it intentionally in order to interfere even though they let him go when it happened and everyone in the family is a US citizen.

  1. You would be gunned down
  2. If you'd miraculously survive, you'd lose in court and go to prison for life
  3. Trump would use it as the catalytic event he was eagerly awaiting to declare martial law.

This is the sad state of the USA.

All the pieces were here, and now they’re assembled.

This will only keep happening. :(

I feel like the only defense is to edge towards a nanny state (live stream everything, gps trackers). There’s no good alternative if the law won’t help. Or you gotta break the law yourself.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

All states are "nanny states"- just because you use a derogatory term for it doesn't change the fundamental principle of what a society is, which is to care for its citizens, run by its citizens, for the benefit of all citizens.

The alternative to it is anarchy.

A "nanny state" (god i fucking hate that ridiculous right wing propaganda term) is the normal state of society.
