If I were to carry out this order, I would refuse. Who cares whether she's "legal" or not - deporting a sick child is simply inhumane. Those goddam monsters!

But yes, that's quite right. The reign of terror in Hitler's Third Reich was also only possible with those who carried out orders and clung to the idea that they were not responsible. Hannah Arendt described all this very well in "The Banality of Evil".

Screw that? Forcibly remove the dictator. It won't stop. Naming and shaming does nothing when there's no rules.

Hitler found a bullet. His orderlies found the gallows.

Been asking that since they started removing people from their offices. Why are media outlets not getting the names of every single agent "just doing their job" they're just complacently watching like it's a fucking TV drama.

As per standard procedure. There will always be pople who will try to paint this as some kind of failure of the system. No, this is the system.

I mean, there were trials in Nuremberg eventually.

If there was functioning legal system in the US, they could.

Asking those questions about Nazi-era German deportation/detention policy would yield the same answers.

Even prior to the current political climate, police overreach in hospitals has happened multiple times. Usually involves police arresting a nurse/doctor for not doing what the police want (even if the medical staff are in the right). Medical staff loses pay for the day, patient harm does happen because of involuntary abandonment, and no punishment is metered for the police.

So yeah, doctors and nurses are quite helpless here.

Could ICE be liable for death or injury incurred from deporting a citizen?

Yes, but only if the court will uphold the law. And at that point, the punitive measures can't bring back life or brain function.

From the article, the family was driving from Rio Grande (in Texas) to Houston (also Texas) for her treatment, going through an immigration checkpoint, as they have done in the past but this time the entire family was detained and deported on the spot.

Generally people with family who have citizenship and noncriminals are all exceptions, they used to be called undocumented instead of illegals because even undocumented workers pay taxes in the USA. Not anymore, now anybody and everybody is at risk of deportation. They're even discussing removal of citizenship from whoever they like, as they attempted in Trump's last term.

It is worth noting that because of this policy the ICE is actually less effective at catching actual criminals.

They deported the parents. Would you leave a sick children under the custody of a state who thinks you're sub-human due to your skin color? They had no choice but to bring the kid back with them to Mexico.

You end up in a "detention center". Usually privately owned.
