ICE capades - tales of the detained

They were working, supporting themselves, paying taxes, you know, being productive members of society but now…

They’re fighting their deportation and trying to get work permits. But they will likely wait months for a hearing because there are more than 31,000 pending cases in Michigan’s sole immigration court.

In the meantime, they aren’t allowed to work or drive a car under an order from an immigration judge. They’re riding bikes, taking the bus and scraping by with the help of friends, family and a GoFundMe fundraiser. Nicolas’ son also asked him not to go to Michigan anymore.

Look at that. This was very common in the 1970s and 1980s in Latin America. People with bad looks and no identification grabbing people from their homes or detaining them on the streets, putting these people on cars without markings. Most of them have never returned to this day.

There was even a name for It.

Yeah, but Desaparecidos just sounds so… foreign.

I think they’ll find an appropriate name once this sort of thing reaches other members of society.

I hope that It never happen and the nightmare vanishes.

You would think the courts, and especially the Supreme Court, would shut the whole fucking thing down because of this, but here we are. WE ARE IN A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS.
