Every single person sent to El Salvador were innocent. Not a single one of them had their due process! This is all bullshit. ICE must be destroyed

[–] CitricBase@lemmy.world 159 points 1 year ago

Yep. Innocent until proven guilty, and not a single one of them was so much as indicted, much less charged or convicted. Blatant disregard for the constitution as well as human rights, everyone all the way up the chain of command needs to be prosecuted for this.

You're asking Hitler to get rid of the Gestapo.

[–] Mohamed@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Thats the thing. Rounding up people from the street will not catch any criminals (legally speaking), by definition: if they committed a crime, and a judge deemed them guilty, they would be in jail or they would be fugitives. In either case, they are not unknowns, and authorities must've already knew about them. Getting people randomly off the street, you cannot, legally speaking, be catching criminals.

This is, unfortunately, incredibly common in law enforcement circles. If you're paranoid, EVERYTHING is gang related somehow.

Not only that, but they circulate bad information among themselves. Booklets about how every sports team has it's own gang affiliation, etc.

From another article, one of the tattoos in question:

The US has a greater obsession with tattoos than Japan by this point. If you go to a place in Japan and show off a tattoo, the owner might ask you to leave. The US they'll gulag your ass.

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Only of you're brown, white people with tattoos are perfectly acceptable, just look at all the neonazis

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Just look at our current secretary of defense.

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.earth 8 points 1 year ago

Now that's a fucking gang tattoo if I've ever seen one. Not like the literal Awareness Ribbon. 🎗️

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That’s only one view, he just posted photos on X with even more white supremacist tattoos.

I didn't know he was Georgian

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

And the tramp stamps on their bleach blonde bimbos.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Seems like most cops have tattoos now.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 5 points 1 year ago

Those are the gang tattoos we need to worry about.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

It's projection; those are often literal gang tattoos.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not only that, but they circulate bad information among themselves. Booklets about how every sports team has it’s own gang affiliation, etc.

We all know it's the bowling teams that are the gangbangers. I mean look at them. total miscreants!

Also, I'm going to add here, the pickleball maffia.

What Nazi Germany classed as "untermenschen:"

  • People of Jewish descent
  • People of Slavic descent
  • People of African descent
  • People of Romani descent
  • Homosexuals
  • The mentally disabled
  • The physically disabled
  • Political dissidents
  • POWs

Qualifying people were dehumanized, arrested and initially deported, but eventually taken to camps and either systematically exterminated or put into slavery.

It's not enough to say that there are parallels, America is playing exactly by the Nazi guide book.

Also worth noting they basically learned all that from Andrew Jackson the first time around

I know we're largely focused on stopping Trump, and we need to.

But how do we save these guys?

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The courts might be able to stop future renditions, but the president or Congress have the power to end this or return them. Congress could cut off the funding (bribes) to El Salvador or president could force them to release people.

America has its Gestapo now. How much longer until they create SS that swears fealty not to the US but to Trump?

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

They've already sworn fealty to Trump. Non-fascists don't join ICE.

That was 10 years ago. DHS is the Gestapo you're seeing now, courtesy of the Patriot Act. They've already sworn fealty to Trump. People are looking at January 6th as an isolated event, but it proved how far the right-wing could get if they wanted to forcefully take over the government.

This is the only standard by which the Trump administration operates.

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 year ago

Republicans: Meh, what's the big deal?

This is horrific. Shame of the country.
