ICE used warrant application as ‘pretext’ to try to arrest two students in order to deport them
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) effectively misled a judge in order to gain access to the homes of students it sought to arrest for their pro-Palestinian activism, attorneys say.
A recently unsealed search warrant application shows that Ice told a judge it needed a warrant because the agency was investigating Columbia University for “harboring aliens”. In reality, attorneys say, Ice used the warrant application as a “pretext” to try to arrest two students, including one green card holder, in order to deport them.
What the unsealed document shows is that the agency “was manufacturing an allegation of ‘harboring’, just so agents can get in the door,” Nathan Freed Wessler, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), said. “What Ice was actually trying to do is get into these rooms to arrest them.”
ICE are public servants and are knowingly breaking the law by obeying illegal orders. The Nuremberg trials dealt with that following orders stuff.
Here’s the thing, absolutely nothing will happen to them because…well, americans.
Americans voted tRUMP in not once, but twice. TWICE!!.
How far gone does a populace have to go to do that just the once? Then do it again…?
Also, laughingly, they had four years in between those elections to not only live through the dangerous and embarrassing shit that the Fat Useless Cunt did the first time in office. Yet did nothing to prosecute him for his obvious treason.
Why obvious? He had a fax machine in a toilet, next to boxes of stolen top secret documents. That’s a fucking FAX MACHINE, IN a fucking unlocked TOILET, next to BOXES of TOP SECRET documents.
Nor did they do much of anything to stop the obvious Russian Puppet from running again.
Christ, he once said he could shoot someone in the street and nothing would happen. I’ll go one better, I think he could rape a child on the street and not only would nothing happen, he would get cheered on whilst doing it.
People after ww2 had the backbone, the strength, the anger, and the tenacity to go after the horrible men who ‘just followed orders’, and those that gave the orders.
When you think of the average american do you think backbone? Strength? Tenacity? I know I don’t. I mean, I did, at one point, but then 2016 happened and…
No. Some will do a peaceful protest on a weekend. Then think they’ve done their part. And then blame everyone else for it all whilst shrugging their shoulders. They are fucked, and if they do nothing then they deserve it.
