But when the 16-year-old’s case resurfaced this week in the context of a ProPublica deep dive into the widespread use of banned chokeholds by immigration agents, there was another detail that stood out as particularly galling in its sheer disregard for the idea that agents might face any kinds of consequences: The fact that the ICE agents in question allegedly sold Arnoldo Bazan’s confiscated phone for cash, potentially on the very same day that they took it from him.

This was my first thought when watching that video yesterday of them abducting the US citizen who was (allegedly) legally carrying in Minneapolis: what is going to happen to that firearm?

But a tankie told me they wouldn't bother anyone carrying a gun 😱

Your first thought was for the gun, not the person. jfc.

Come on now. If you're looking for a way to twist my words for your own personal outrage, sure.

[-] imrighthere@lemmy.ca -3 points 3 months ago

There is no twist, those are your exact words.

I think it’s pretty clear he was thinking about the thug ICE agents stealing that poor guys’s stuff, the legal gun being the most expensive item.

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

FAKE NEWS! The US Government does INCREDIBLE Background Checks on Every ICE AGENT! Gives Every ICE AGENT Top Dollar training! And PUNISHES every Bad Agent SWIFTLY! OTHERWISE that would mean we're giving BILLIONS of Taxpayer Dollars to Random Child Raping Men with ZERO oversight and I KNOW Fiscally Responsible Republicans who HATE Drag Queens would NEVER let that Happen! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
