      It’s not the most relevant to THIS guy, but in general, a government purposefully separating parents from their children with no means of reunion is one of the named conditions of cultural genocide.

      Literally, it’s part (e) of the UN Resolution, the ‘Genocide Convention.’

      … any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

      (a) Killing members of the group;
      (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
      © Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
      (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
      *(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.[5]

      We spent so long discussing the legitimate genocide in Palestine, and yet, so little on the damn genocide that has been happening within our borders since 2016.

    In a statement, the Homeland Security official condemned the “messaging bill” as a “clear attempt to demonize our brave ICE law enforcement — who are already facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them

    Only 1000%…? Need to boost these rookie numbers guys, if you don’t stop Nazis in their tracks they will walk all over you.

    Also, such brave ICE officers abducting teenagers while carrying guns, couldn’t think of anything less brave.

    The unnamed official noted that Guerrero-Cruz, a Chilean national, was arrested on Aug. 8 for overstaying his visa, which required him to leave the United States on March 15, 2023.

    So are they just “randomly” arresting people and then checking their immigration status? Because that’s what it sounds like.
