In the video of the incident, which the family said occurred on Tuesday, the mother can be heard demanding her daughter's return.

"They took my daughter, she's 5 years old. She has autism spectrum," the woman says in the video. "Give me my daughter back."

The mother also explained that her daughter's father "managed to run back into the parking lot of my house, but they grabbed the girl."

The family said ICE agents challenged Edward Hip, a Guatemalan man who has lived in the United States for 22 years, to leave his home for his daughter.

"Is that your daughter? Come here so I can see those IDs," an agent can be heard saying in the video, which shows him motioning toward the camera.

"Hey, I can give it through the door," a man is heard saying in response.

"You can do it right here," the agent says, pointing to the ground in front of himself.

The mother reported alleged harassment by the officers.

"They threatened us, saying that if we didn't open the door within 15 minutes, they would enter the house," she told Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra.

Leominster police arrived at the scene, recovered the child and returned her to the family.

Leominster police arrived at the scene, recovered the child and returned her to the family.

I mean, as long as you're exceeding my very low expectations for local cops confronting fascists, how about arresting and criminally charging these would-be kidnappers?

would-be kidnappers

They did take the girl hostage, they just didn't take her very far.

[-] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 12 points 11 months ago

Kidnapping requires a change of location, IIRC.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 49 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

false imprisonment doesn't

and i will add that ICE does seem to be comfortable trading in the flesh of children.

[-] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 8 points 11 months ago

Sure, totally. I’m just saying “would-be kidnappers” is accurate. They’re not “kidnappers” until they take her somewhere else.

[-] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 10 points 11 months ago

To be fair kidnappings is kind of half their job.

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 133 points 11 months ago

Holding hostages now I see

[-] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 131 points 11 months ago

That's psychopath behavior.

[-] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 20 points 11 months ago

That's a requirement to be an ice agent.

[-] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It is basically a requirement to be "successful" in 1st world culture in general. ...They just taught us it's okay in that case.

No but see they're stealing your tax money so it isnt terrorism.

[-] SGGeorwell@lemmy.world 76 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

This is fucking nauseating. What piggish scum are these. Fucking fat dipshit Nazi cocksuckers who love guzzling Trump cum. Jesus fucking Christ.

Edit: It takes some kind of man to use a five year old in this way. Of all the stories coming out so far, this one is especially sick. These people should be prosecuted immediately.

[-] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 18 points 11 months ago

They need to know what families being on the menu feels like.

No, they’re still men. There’s a justice system for a reason. It separates us from animals.

[-] smh@slrpnk.net 6 points 11 months ago

I'm just giving to drop this link here. (Because it's interesting, not because Nazis lack agency)

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 52 points 11 months ago

ICE agent names, please.

[-] 52fighters@lemmy.sdf.org 45 points 11 months ago

Is there a local police department anywhere in this country that'll stand up to this evil? States rights and the 10th amendment have meaning.

[-] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 40 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

All those super tough guys that valiantly captured a five year old neurodivergent girl, and yet not a single one of them can see their tiny dicks under their sloppy gunts. Sad. The American gestapo won't be doing stairs.

[-] ElJefe@lemmy.ca 36 points 11 months ago

🖕FUCK YOU ICE🖕

[-] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 27 points 11 months ago

When will someone invade and ~~take all the oil~~ free America from this extremist militia?

[-] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 14 points 11 months ago

They invaded Los Angeles this summer, left the oil. Invading Chicago right now.

Please put down the monkey's paw.

[-] 87Six@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 months ago

They can take the bloody oil if they solve this shit

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Yep.GeStaPo.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 15 points 11 months ago

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Something something family values.

[-] TheTimeKnife@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Every single ICE member needs to be locked up for these crimes.

[-] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Jesus fucking Christ. Is we ever get our country back these fuckers need to pay.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Just following orders is no excuse.

I don't care if you're a double digit IQ moron. You kidnap people, you do hard time.
