ICE ILLEGALLY detains US citizen.
We need some precision in our language.
They may have released him according this post.

I’m not defending this shit but staying up to date and informed on this shit is hard.
It was still illegal to detain him in the first place.
And if they continue to be allowed to skip due process, citizens will end up getting deported.
This might have already happened. We don’t actually know for sure.
Definitely true.
Here’s hoping they sue and get a huuuge settlement.
The ambulance-chasers need to have a feeding frenzy on this.
Millions of patriots with torches and pitchforks need to have a feeding frenzy on this.
Kidnapping.
Hello USA citizen.
Because you are new to dealing with your government, and because some here who been seeing how USA government and its propaganda machine work know better…
I would like to draw your attention to the fact all these news coming as “ICE did this and that” is basically aim to draw the attention away from the real people who did this.
So next time you see “ICE” remember that this Trump and his friend. If you can dig deep who is running ICE that will also work.
putting a name of a person instead of company or group work better in stopping them. See Luigi incident for inspiration…
I truly don’t think democracy has very long in this country. Either the people rise up or die under oppression.
Our systems have failed
[sound of bell chiming]
…
“I don’t think this egg timer has very long before it counts down to zero.”
Eroding democracy isn’t an on off switch per se. He’s been actively dismantling systems since day one. It is hard to say exactly when all is lost and there’s no coming back. That could have been last week or it could be next month. I suppose that will be up to historians.
I think frogs in a pot slowly being heated to a boil is a better analogy. We were pretty fucked as soon as we went in the pot. If there’s any sense we can maybe jump out, but eventually we’ll die if we don’t act
I think in this case it’s like global warming; the “it’s gone too far to go back now” point has long passed, but it’s still possible to prevent potential unchecked snowballing harm.
Somehow, the people aren’t quite singing yet…
I asked my governor if they could waive the CCP law…for reasons. But yeah, I guess some people are going to have to be disobeying the law.
One amateur vs a handful of prepared pros is gonna mean one dead armchair infantry.
I support the effort to resist but think guns at the point of capture isn’t going to go like on TV.
“Don’t fight back, they’ll kill you” do you realize how insane that sounds when they’re deporting people to a death camp in another country also ruled by a dictator and you’ve been told repeatedly no one leaves that death camp. Ever.
I’d rather die in a shoot out with ICE than go to a death camp. I don’t leave the house now without my concealed carry.
Very cool, enjoy your stay in the gulag. Since that’s the alternative
alternative to what?
To resisting
Why do you think you won’t go to the gulag if you own a gun?
I’d rather die quickly with a small chance of taking out an oppressor than to die slowly in a concentration camp
Lopez Gomez, 21, was born in Georgia. According to court records, he has been assigned a judge as well as a public defender. He appears to have been arrested and charged under an “anti-immigration” law passed in Florida two months ago, despite the fact that the law is currently under a temporary restraining order and isn’t supposed to be enforced.
A Federal Agency is holding him under State Law? WTF???
Afaik he was being detained by the state, initially under suspicion of breaking the law but then later they continued to hold him just because ICE asked them to.
Reporting on this story hasn’t been very good, it’s been difficult to follow the more nuanced details of what’s going on. But the bottom line is very clear: he was detained illegally, and the fascists wanted to deport him anyway.
Ergo, he’s being detained illegally.
Makes you wonder how many US citizens have already been “Administratively errored” to El Salvador.
New rules.
Are you brown? Do you primarily speak a language other than English? Do you have a common but ethnic name like Gomez? Are you a Chicago Bulls fan? Do you have any kind of marking or birthmark on you that someone could claim is a secret gang tattoo? Do you have a name similar to or even live near anybody who fits any of the above criteria?
If the answer to one or more of those questions is “yes”, I wouldn’t be leaving the house. You can literally find yourself on a plane destined for El Salvador literally before your family even realizes you haven’t made it home from work yet, because the new rules are that as long as they can stick you on that plane and get that plane in the air before a judge can say something, they get to get away with it and you have no recourse. Good luck ever speaking to anyone who even speaks English ever again, let alone family.
What’s scary is that that is not hyperbole.
Yeah, this is really fucked up for people of color. Just another disgusting timeline for America.
Leaving his citizenship aside for a moment, he was accused of breaking a state immigration law. The law has been halted by court order and is currently not enforceable. The constitution makes immigration a federal matter. Also if it’s a state law, why is he being held by ICE, a federal agency?
Look out for your community
Start hanging out in immigrant communities exercising your rights to gun ownership.
This will NEVER Happen to me!
-LITERALLY EVERYONE who Voted for Trump!
My local Trumpers are completely sure this is fake news and nothing bad is happening.
Are they going to send this person to the CECOT mound?
What’s that?
It appears to be a mound of bodies surrounded by blood. This a satellite image of the CECOT prison in El Salvador where Trump is unconstitutionally sending people without due process. According to 60 minutes 75% of the 200 people sent here have no criminal record. Trump told the El Salvadorian president to build more prisons because he’s sending “homegrown” Americans next
CECOT in El Salvador, where they are sending people accused of being in “gangs” - for example, the man from Maryland that the Supreme Court has ordered the administration to return.
That is a Google earth view of the site, showing what is very likely a large blood stain, as CECOT does not release prisoners.
It finally happened. Now what?
