Bill would prevent ICE from detaining or deporting U.S. citizens

[Ahlevah]

Your point is pointless.

Our Constitution prevents anyone, including the president from enslaving or stripping citizenship from anyone.

A constitution doesn’t prevent anything. It’s only a piece of paper, and it only matters to the degree it’s respected or its provisions can be enforced.

Yep.

People think that mere citizenship will protect them.

It won’t.

I do have a link and I am glad to provide it. People should be aware of the ICE abuses of power. This country has become a police state. There is no longer a rule of law.

There are many versions of this on-line and this one is not the best written. I am citing it because it is from "The Los Angeles Times", a very mainstream news source.

Army vet calls for investigation after being detained for three days in ICE raid

George Retes, a U.S. citizen, was held for three days after getting caught up in an immigration raid in Ventura County.

For a really honest picture of what this man, a citizen trying to get to work, went through see him interviewed by Chris Hayes on MSNBC, which some people look at as left-leaning source. You can still judge the man for yourself. Listen to him speak.

Thank you for the links. There are two sides to every story, so I'm not buying this as 100% fact. That being said, ICE could have very well ****ed up here and if they did, I hope this gets corrected.

 

[RedAkston]

They exist to throw immigrants in camps where they are drugged and their genitals mutilated. They exist to terrorize which is why we see this sort of shit happening again and again. All ICE are bastards and are complicit in Trump’s deranged scheme. They love it.

So much bullshit in this post.

FREAKING GOLDEN! Apparently tow trucks in California have started targeting ICE vehicles because they often park illegally in order to quickly target innocent people. EPIC! 👏 Video via alba_online777 on TT.

Lemme know when Traitor Trump actually attempts to strip citizenship from a natural born American, or enslaves anyone.

Of course you need not buy this article (and the interview) as "100% fact". On the other hand, there are not always two equally credible sides to every story. Sometimes there is one credible side and another side lying to cover up malfeasance. If you look into this further in the interests of finding out what the actual truth is, and you find another side to the story, please bring it here along with your link so that its credibility can also be judged.

So says the guy freaking out about what a “fascist” and “traitor” he is. I did a search for “fascist,” “Trump,” and “RaleBulgarian”and got more than 100 hits.

Fact is, Traitor Trump is a traitor and a fascist.

Shoulda been a lot more than 100 times.

Instead of wasting time trying to pass useless legislation like the above, Dems should try to pass a bill fining ICE $1 million dollars per improper arrest. The money would go to the wrongly detained person, and it would be paid out of ICE's annual budget. That should ensure that ICE detains only those without proper documentation.

So he’s the traitor and fascist we don’t have to worry about violating at least some civil rights, eh?

Makes as much sense as anything that comes out of Traitor Trump’s mouth.

I'd like to see republicans vote against this bill. That should be fun.

Do you believe it's legal to deport citizens currently?

Perhaps instead of useless legislation like above, or this example, they should work with Republicans to streamline the immigration process and implement a more robust, and viable, guest worker program. The idea being that people could legally work seasonal agriculture jobs, and they could apply to enter and reside in the country legally.

Can't wait for the House GOP to slap this garbage down!

And even a fellow lib-prog congresscritter, appropriately named Ted Lieu (totally DEI), put the kibosh on Jayapal's bats**t amendment:

"The fact that Democrats ... feel the need to even introduce an amendment that says ICE cannot deport U.S. citizens is bats**t crazy," Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) said on the House floor.​

Your first 3 links were from 2018 and 2019. Looks like your claims are old news. I didn't even bother looking at the others since you're making your "claims" on old history.

All ICE aren't bastards, you're just angry and bitter for what I would assume are reasons that would get me an infraction. You've obviously not had the shit kicked out of you at some point in your life and it shows.

Also... read the comments. A lot of fascists support this bullshit.

I hate to bring up memories of 1930s Germany and Stalin-era USSR which Putin has adopted, but the parallels are disturbing. Not only are political opponents being targeted by Trump's goons, but those of any ethnicity which isn't white and clearly unwelcome

At this point, ICE would only be paying out a few million dollars.
Otherwise, those they have been detaining-- including the soldier mentioned in this thread-- are detainable and deportable.

I bet paying out a few million would make ICE a lot more careful about arresting just anyone who appeared hispanic.

That is exactly what was happening in 2024, until trump told Republicans to stop, so he could campaign on closing the border.
