Lord Buffalo Drummer ‘Forcibly Removed’ From Plane and Detained by Border Patrol; Band Cancels European Tour

Legal Mexican immigrant: Tries to leave United States.

Border Patrol: Oh no you don't. We need to pad our stats with your deportation.

Why are they removing people from planes leaving the country to detain them.
Wouldn't it be better to just do the European tour and then stay in Europe at this point?

Yeah this is the first time I’ve heard of someone being taken while trying to leave the country. Very Kafkaesque.
- The Nazis would detain Jews trying to leave the country.
- Hispanic people are being sold to CECOT. It is unequivocal human trafficking and no one is stopping it.
- Lends credibility to the rumour that trump demands a certain nimber of arrests per day per person

Because it's just nazism. They want to imprison and harm non-white people, and they're using "immigration" as an excuse.

From just my reading of the various news stories around ICE activity I've come to a few conclusions about what the internal policy must be:
Reduce immigrant population in USA by X - Use as close to legal justifications as possible, even the weakest thinnest reasons, but also don't be afraid to simply make stuff up if you need to deport the person. If you can get them out of the country under false reasons, then their ability to get back in becomes much harder even when US government Judicial rulings allow them back because their deportation or deportation lacking in due process was unConstitutional.
So to accomplish this they seem to be operating in this order:
Immigrants picked up by active criminal investigations unrelated to immigration status.
Raids and actions seeking out immigrants who have committed no crimes, but with unsettled legal immigration status.
Immigrants that travel through Border Checkpoint systems: visa renew, Green Card application, even entrances and exit points on the border. These immigrants are then threatened, coerced, or tricked into "voluntarily" surrendering their legal immigrant status at which time they are deported.
Immigrants who may have committed and been convicted of minor crimes, even if many decades prior, where they have served time or otherwise paid their debt to society (even a small fine). Minor guilty plea deal marijuana possession charge from 10-15 years ago are not uncommon justification for deportation here.
Immigrants that are actively engaging with government systems (as in unrelated to justice system). This can be for social services, family services, educations, or even healthcare.
The more desperate ICE becomes to try to accomplish their primary goal, the longer this list gets on where they go and what they do.
So to answer your question about the case here in the OP, my guess is perhaps #3 or #4. We won't know until he's released from custody and is able to tell us.
Nope. They'll dump him in a shit-hole detention someplace. Let him rot for a few weeks or a couple months, and then either release him to await a trial or deport him to El Salvador, claiming that his tattoos mean he's in MS-13. Why? It's not about him. It's about setting an example. The goal is to make the idea of coming to the USA so scary that people, particularly brown people, are afraid to do it. It's working too.
- It’s also about disappearing people with multi-syllable surnames.
The official answer would probably essentially be something like "they're a super-criminal who will return to destroy America"
They know where they're going to be. The person checks in and they can snag them. There's not a 100% guarantee that the person will be on the return flight home.
- Why didn't they detain him before he's on the plane though? Plenty of checks and time.
  Either they want the theatrics or some racist left a false tip because he didn't want to sit next to some foreign looking dude.
Funnily enough European countries have immigration laws too.
- Which European country detained him? How was he treated while being processed by said country?
- Funnily enough European countries have immigration laws too.
  This was in answer to :

  Of course, they were leaving the US to go to Europe.
  The band member was subject to a magistrate's order and could not leave the country, as you would find out if you clicked through to the Austin Chronicle.

So is this going to be like the other green card holders - someone that publicly criticized the government and then got snatched by the brownshirts?

When are people going to finally start shooting ICE with guns. This needs to happen asap.

Soon, I bet. But you're pretty much guaranteed to die if you do, so people have to be really desperate.
- I've made up my mind already that if they try to take me or my wife, they are gonna have to kill me, and I'm gonna try as hard as I can not too die alone.
  Of course, that's big talk from me. I'm weak, overweight, and pasty.
There's a reason ICE isn't actually going after gang members.

Here is a video of them so you can see that these numbers are real people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoZRNnBc5vc

Sounds like the Gestapo are just arresting everyone and anyone with a vaguely "foreign" sounding name.

we're going to need reverse coyotes soon to get out of the US.
