#24 To which "criminals" are you referring?

Janitors?

Gardeners?

Daycare assists?

US citizens?

Which criminals, onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut?

#21 You mean to return Elian Gonzales to his father?

Like that, onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut?

#27 That it was, Alex.

But what was an earth-shattering event in 2000 sadly became standard operating procedure for ICE under Trump 1.0 (the Miller family separation operation, separating children (plural) from their parents (also plural).

And it is continuing under Trump 2.0.

Meanwhile ...

The fight over custody of Elian Gonzalez ended on April 22, 2000, when heavily armed federal agents raided the Little Havana home of his Miami family. Elian was seized at gunpoint and returned to his father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, who was soon back in Cuba with his 5-year-old son.

Today, Elian still lives in the house where he grew up.

"I grew up with my family. I grew up with those I had to be with and that makes me very happy," Elian Gonzalez said during a 2023 interview with Liz Oliva Fernandez, an independent Cuban journalist for the U.S.-based media outlet Belly of the Beast.

Elian Gonzalez said during the interview that his life is simple, he is married and has a young daughter. Her name is Eliz in honor of his mother Elizabeth, who died at sea during the ill-fated attempt to escape from Cuba.

#33 If only they were enforcing the law instead of murdering Americans, and disappearing people off the streets.

#33 With exceptions for felonies, most misdemeanor laws allow for consideration by LEO and prosecutors as to whether to "enforce" a law or not.

Or do you really believe that every single driver, everywhere, going 1 MPH over a given speed limit should be pulled and ticketed, with zero exceptions?

Entertain us, Perry "bell boi" Mason.

#33 Excuse me, bell boi, but what part of ICE Enforcement to Go Door to Door do you consider "American values"?

Entertain us, Perry "bell boi" Mason.

#42 Inquiring minds want to know.

#49 An excellent point, Snoofy.

I wonder if bell boi, and the rest of these so-called "Americans," can explain that.

Along with the state police, county sheriffs, and city police going door-to-door without a warrant.

Next up: Forcing Americans to use their home to house US soldiers.

#52 This is a MUST watch... and thank you Gal for posting it!

#57 Indeed, Yav!

#63 Thank you again, Gal. That follow-up was very important.

#66 Good call, Syco.

And thanks.

#67 100%

#70 With a strawman argument you'd have no argument whatsoever.

Try again, onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut.

#71 So long as enforcement is within the law that the people decided upon, its not fascism.

Whoops.

#71 New York Penal Law 175.10 is made-up?

Sorry, onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut.

The law isn't subject to your whimsical fantasies.

#75

"Smooth brain" has two main meanings: a rare medical condition called lissencephaly, where the brain lacks normal folds (gyri) and appears smooth, causing severe developmental issues; and a slang term used humorously or insultingly for someone perceived as unintelligent or foolish, popularized in internet memes

#79 That is, of course, a lie.

#79

New York Penal Law 175.10 defines Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, a Class E Felony, which occurs when someone commits the misdemeanor of falsifying business records (NYPL 175.05) with an additional intent to defraud, which includes intending to commit another crime or to aid/conceal another crime's commission, escalating the charge from a misdemeanor to a felony, as seen in cases involving financial fraud or covering up underlying illegal acts.

#93 No, you didn't comply with ---, bell boi.

#95 No it isn't bell boi (you lose your "Perry Mason" badge for felonious falsehood about false equivalence).

You said "Enforcing immigration law is not fascism."

Well, there seems to be zero leeway there (as has been amply demonstrated by ICE).

Same with traffic laws.

Either they're enforced, or they're not.

And if the law says over the speed limit is a crime, then it has to be enforced. Right, bell boi ? ? ? ?

You're clearly in favor of enforcing with zero concern over how it is enforced.

Enforcing...law is not fascism.

How you enforce the law is what makes it fascism.

I don't believe you are that stupid to not know the difference.

#65 | Posted by TFDNihilist at 2026-01-10 06:17 PM

bell boi is too stupid to know the difference.

#102 So is going 1 MPH over the speed limit.

And it has to be enforced, right, bell boi ? ? ? ?

#108 "Remember when all of those illegal aliens sweltered to death in the back of a box truck?"

Gosh, bell boi.

What would make people so desperate that they would do anything to get to the land of freedom and away from the death squads in the home country?

To seek to better themselves?

To provide a safe place to raise their families?

Opportunity?

Can you figure that one out, bell boi?

#113 Whoops:

What's inhumane is purposefully making it difficult for these folks to enter in the first place, forcing them into situations where they must choose a viable future while risking being cooked in the back of a truck or die in squaller. People like you are forcing them to make this decision. You better not call yourself a Christian, you dirt rotten cultist!

#112 | Posted by rstybeach11 at 2026-01-10 10:29 PM

#116 And anyone going over the speed limit by 1 MPH should be charged with a crime (which it is).

Swallow it, bell boi.

#118 We guys want a nation that upholds human rights and will honor ...

Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, / The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. / Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, / I lift my lamp beside the golden door

"...purposefully making it difficult for these folks to enter in the first place...

#122 Thank you so much for that comment, Laura.

10 out of 10.

#121 Visa =/= immigration (legal or otherwise)

You didn't know that, bell boi?

Or are you just conflating again?

#121 Face facts, bell boi, you and your MAGA filth want zero immigration. Period. Legal, undocumented, "illegal," or whatever.

You and your MAGA filth want zero immigration

The Trump administration has recently canceled naturalization ceremonies across the U.S. for immigrants from 19 countries, in response to a recent shooting incident in Washington, D.C.. The cancellations affect individuals who have already completed the lengthy process of interviews, background checks, and tests, and were at the final stage of becoming U.S. citizens.

#129 And that's who bell boi insists on carrying water for.

#121 In fact, bell boi, you and your MAGA filth want more than zero immigration.

#142 It is the "Oh, but I'm reasonable" vomit that bell boi wants us to eat.

No.

Thank.

You.

He's just as vile as the rest of his ilk.

Coward, too.

#144 You voted for it.

You excuse it.

You try to rationalize it away with your faux "reasonableness."

Yeah. You want it and your protestations are as impotent as your ...

Anyway, not buying it, bell boi.

You broke it, you bought it.

Own it, bell boi.

Swallow it.

#146 Some deportations won't have a criminal charge attached."

That's mighty white of you bell boi.

Yep.

Mighty white, indeed.

#146 "Some deportations won't have a criminal charge attached."

Yeah!

Those will be those who are denaturalized.

Then, magically, they're criminals.

Apologies, bell boi, if I caused a bit of moisture to appear in your lap.

Unintended consequences.
