  • Apart from the obvious cruelty and unnecessary trauma, there’s this:

    In February, a woman in Long Island, New York, went with her two children to a scheduled check-in with ICE, planning to go to a favorite restaurant after the appointment. Instead, officers detained them. The mother, who asked to be identified only by her initials, MSP, because she fears retaliation from the government, said the family was taken far from New York, where they’d lived for nine years, and jailed in a hotel in Texas.

    For nine days, she said they were not allowed to leave the room, or even look out the windows. MSP said two guards were in the hotel room at all times, including sitting outside the bathroom door, making them uncomfortable using the toilet or sleeping.

    Our tax dollars at work folks! Paying to employ a couple of chuds to watch a family 24/7 that didn’t even need to be detained. So much for eliminating government waste.
