Shaw’s detention is among the latest examples of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, which, despite pledges to focus on violent criminals, has also swept up lawful residents like Shaw.

What to do when there aren't enough violent criminals to remotely justify an even more violent ICE invasion of our cities?

I haven’t really heard of any violent criminals being detained

The violent criminals are the ones doing the detaining, Trump's dementia just made him do an oopsie

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Probably because those people were actually already correctly being detained...

A few ice officers have been trapped places, had to be helicoptered out.

Im not defending ICE here. But this woman was supposedly on vacation, stayed and got married, then divorced soon after. Give me a break. And then she traveled after knowingly not renewing her travel permit, and claims she thought it was renewed. None of this is in good faith. Do I think she and her child belong in a jail cell? No absolutely not, but this ICE situation is not exactly a secret. Read the goddamn room, ffs.

Sure there are actually-innocent people being detained by ICE in every city every day, but have you considered that this one is a pretty white woman?

And then she traveled after knowingly not renewing her travel permit, and claims she thought it was renewed.

That's the part that gets me. She didn't renew both because of cost, then when she renewed her work only the next time which was cheap, that didn't raise flags...

She deserves a quick hearing or at least the option to take her kids back to NZ. The people in this group don't see it that way though.

They sure love it when it's directed at people that aren't them.

I thought the only ICE in Canada was in Nunavut

Interesting. You double-posted (I assume by mistake) and got the exact same reply from two different accounts, making it extremely likely they are both bots. Nice work exposing them!

[-] regedit@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

I reported both as such and added tags and 10k downvotes to Voyager for each. After reading other comments on this thread, I feel there are many more such bots on Lemmy than I previously expected.
