ICE, DHS, and the Border Patrol precursors have historically treated native peoples with some of the most cruelty. This goes straight back to Bush, Reagan, even Eisenhower (Operation Wetback swept up a ton of First Nations people in the southern border states).

Really puts the exclamation point on how much of a lie "Immigration Enforcement" is as public policy. It's ethnic cleansing and always has been. Anyone defending ICE is defending white supremacy.

"What Cambridge Analytica observed was that when respondents were angry, their need for complete and rational explanations was also significantly reduced. In particular, anger put people in a frame of mind in which they were more indiscriminately punitive, particularly to out-groups. They would also underestimate the risk of negative outcomes. This led Cambridge Analytica to discover that even if a hypothetical trade war with China or Mexico meant the loss of American jobs and profits, people primed with anger would tolerate that domestic economic damage if it meant they could use a trade war to punish immigrant groups and urban liberals.” ― Christopher Wylie, Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America, page 128, year 2019

Friends identified Ramirez from a Facebook Live video of the arrest and alerted Duffy, who rushed home, grabbed her son’s birth certificate and called Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Facebook addicts under the thumb of billionaire media lords: { Trump / Musk / Mark Zuckerberg / Rupert Murdoch } media systems. Trump is a god of media content creation. Cloud computing "Sky Daddy", Trump leads the world into meme ruin!

 

“The human brain can protect us from seeing and feeling what it believes may be too uncomfortable for us to tolerate. It can lead us to deny, defend, minimize, or rationalize away something that doesn’t fit our worldview.” ― Dr. Bandy X Lee, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President. Published October 3, 2017. Page 273. Chapter "TRUMP'S DADDY ISSUES"
