Oklahoma City Family Traumatized After ICE Raids Home

A woman says her family's fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life saving--even though they were not the suspects the agents were looking for.

Welcome to the hellscape that is Trump's America:

"We just moved here from Maryland," she said. "We're citizens. That's what I kept saying. We're citizens."

She said the agents didn't care.

"They were very dismissive, very rough, very careless," she said. "I kept pleading. I kept telling them we weren't criminals. They were treating us like criminals. We were here by ourselves. We didn't do anything."

Marisa said the agents tore apart every square inch of the house and what few belongings they had, seizing their phones, laptops and their life savings in cash as "evidence."

"She said the agents didn't care."

That's because they didn't care.
That's a feature, not a bug.

These are the folks that sicken me way more than the Dotard. He would be powerless without all the sycophants. They are happy to terrorize their fellow citizens. Our society is doomed.

Every society has goons like this.

This story turned my stomach.

I hope you made it to the fainting couch in time!

This is normal behavior for cops.

This is how Breonna Taylor got gunned down, for example.

Hi Snoofy: I recovered sufficiently, thanks. The growing militarization and endemic racism in American law-enforcement is revolting. This combination has facilitated fascism and indifference to the "Other." BTW: I used your witty trademark "Signed, Republicans" line in a few of my entries. I trust you don't mind.

You know what they say, Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
(:

Of course, the full quote is a bit different, as is often the case:
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness."

#8: Another martyr to civilization. Oscar Wilde didn't deserve the fate he had. I read most of his plays, stories, and singleton novel, but not Salome yet.

The mother who was victimized identified a central issue: What if she personally had been armed during this event and attempted to defend her family against mysterious, marauding strangers?

Simple answer---Someone would have died, likely numerous someones, including the kids and the odd ICE agent.

And, yes----These ICE agents are marauders---Criminals---

They didn't arrest her but they stole her money.

They deserved to be shot as the thieves they are.

The agents as a group come across as goons who were turned down for jobs as warehouse monkeys by Walmart due to skull thickness and arrogance. Bully boys with glass eyes, like Trump and the rest of that sorry lot of mega MAGAt lewzers.

This will become the norm under Trump's latest EO.

Cops with more power, less accountability and politically motivated superiors...what could go wrong?

Aren't they required to give a receipt for the seized property?

Normally.

We're not living in "normally" anymore.

Wait til they start confiscating firearms...

"They are happy to terrorize their fellow citizens."

Copa have always been happy to terrorize their fellow citizens.
Now they're just doing it to white citizens.

Cops think we're sheep.
That's the training.

I was sure that ROBSON or someone like would come to defend these ICE agents.

Perhaps their behavior is indefensible?

"Conservatives" always told us that a dictator would come for them.

Jesus, were they scared of Obama.

Now that we have a real dictator I wonder what they will do when Trump comes for them?

Wait. No one was shot? This happened in Oklahoma and the tenants did not use their guns to stop this blatant tyranny?

Seriously? WTF?

Did the NRA lie to us about the primary purpose of the 2nd amendment?

That'll force congress to issue words of consternation and commence the writing of tersely worded emails.

I'm sure Libertarians were all in an uproar about the all-intrusive, powerful government violating people's civil liberties: youtu.be
