ICE arrested a 6-year-old boy with leukemia at immigration court. His family is suing.

Key excerpts:

The family had been staying with a relative in Los Angeles for the previous seven months after crossing the border legally for a court appointment through the now-defunct CBP One App to seek asylum in October of last year. They had been granted parole status in the U.S. while they waited for their day in immigration court.

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying," Mukherjee said. "The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

The 6-year-old boy has been diagnosed with leukemia and has missed a medical appointment to be treated for worsening symptoms

The Texas Civil Rights Project says the family has been placed in expedited removal, which allows for rapid deportation without a court hearing. The family's attorneys fear they could be deported before their lawsuit is heard.

how long are these fucking nazis going to be allowed to run rampant? because if it wasn't clear before, then it 100% is now, that it was NEVER about "rapists and murderers" or even "illegals"

  A Responsible List
  The ICE List is a public, open-source effort to document the people responsible for enforcing deportation, separating families, and carrying out immigration raids in the United States.
  
  agreed. not enough people are talking about how these fucking cowards can't even show their faces. while being a hired goon for the party trying to make it illegal for protesters to wear masks. fuck these people
  
  What would you propose is an effective method of doing so? With masks, guns, and no uniform, I don’t even begin to know how you could discover their identity without being swiftly arrested for interfering with ICE.
- It ends when a lot of them are dead, or all of us are dead.
  
  i know we're walking the edge of the rules here, but i'm hopeful that when one specific one of them finally fucking croaks (whatever the cause), things might start to turn around, seeing as how all of the rest of them who worship this person hate each others' guts and the flock will disperse
  that day, when it comes, will be my own new personal holiday
- They'll keep doing it as long as we do nothing.
- As a white person, it is taking a surprisingly large amount of energy to not go dig out our 9mm in my FIL's gun safe and shoot these cowardly assholes on sight.
  These are real people that are being directly affected by the heinous acts of ICE; and I fear they won't stop unless they have something to fear themselves.
- As long as they don't face any consequences they have no reason to stop.
  No, suing ICE is not consequences for the Nazi's rounding up "undesirables" because they aren't the ones paying for it. ICE doesn't care either, they're already over budget anyway, more tax payer money will come from somewhere.
- For as long as there is a nazi regime. And it is only going to get worse as soon as they have normalised this current level, which seems to be well under way.
the fact that ICE is targeting anyone at immigration court tells us all exactly how hateful they and this admin is. these are people who are literally going through the legal system of immigration. they are not the same criminals that are publicly being talked about by the administration.
ice is specifically targeting good people because it's easy to get the list. using courts, using IRS fillings, profiling on the streets.
they are lazy. ice is purposefully not doing the work of finding and stopping real criminals. they are doing everything they can to avoid criminals. they are cowards, lazy cowards who only pretend to love this country but really they love the feeling they get when their boot is on someone's neck.
- Wasn't it less than a year ago Republicans were saying they were okay with immigration, they just want people to go through the legal process
  
  We all knew that was a lie for most of them. They just didn't have the power or public support. It's not that they have more support now, but the support is way more public.
  
  I don't know, I was too busy eating cats and dogs.
- Never thought I'd be rooting for the criminals.
I do not care the reason, if you have scared a 6 year old so bad he’s pissed himself, then you are indeed the “baddie”…
No child should suffer this kind of trauma at the hand of an adult. And if they do, than that adult responsible needs the ever lovin’ shit beat out of them. Period. End of sentence.
- Problem is those "adults" (in name only) hide their cowardess behind firearms.
  
  And masks, even a firearm isn't enough to make them feel safe. They know they're pieces of shit and want to hide who they are.
Why do these thugs always strike a pose when there's a camera? Crossing their arms, crossing their legs, leaning back as if they're Clint Eastwood. Fucking cosplayers, all of them.
- Some of those that work forces, are the very same that burn crosses. Huh.
I'm disgusted with my country.
- I'm disgusted and afraid for my safety in my country
  
  I'm disgusted more people in this country aren't equally or more disgusted by all the disgusting shit happening in front of our eyes.
Such brave heroes of the nation, who feel the need to intimidate a six‑year‑old leukaemia patient with a gun. /s
Absolutely evil and pathetically coward.
Shithole joke of a country. Holy fucking shit.
ICE is a bunch of scumbags.
Individual names.
ah yes the damn children with blood cancer taking our jobs, the dangerous threat to society providing money for privatized healthcare by trying to stay alive
Perhaps DOGE should be installed at ICE and lay off all these pieces of shit instead of making it harder for people to get the benefits they already paid for.
There seems to be a ton of fraud waste and abuse going on at ICE.
- ~~lay~~ off
"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying,"
Now who here thinks this sentence sounds like law enforcement in action in real life and not an excerpt from a badly written gangbanger movie?
The kid having leukemia makes this very much a cruel an unusual decision. Can't say "punishment" since they'd argue it's not a punishment, just bureaucracy. But them not being able to known where they're gonna even have to go looking for healthcare is just horrific.
I would love to hear from the children of these monsters. I would despise my dad if he was an ice agent. I would say im surprised at how easy these people give up their humanity when given the order to, but I know enough about history to remember that fascism shows us what these guys are capable of when they’re off the leash.
Gestapo
The MAGAts are getting a lot of material for their fap bank these days.
Suing? In the very system that’s enabling this?
- Very, very few people want to go outside the system. Most who have are dead, and it's hard to provide for your kids when you're dead.
trump administration is afraid of sickly children. something like this doesn't happen by mistake. it takes people a specific group of evil scum bag people to do something like this.
We've seen what the trump admin thinks of the courts and the SCOTUS has usually backed him up.
