    “We are not monsters,” the officer told her, according to the statement. “We do what the government tells us.”

    I guess I shouldn’t be surprised to see the Nuremberg defense being thrown around already.

      Thanks to decades of conservatives defunding education, most of them probably don’t even know what the “Nuremberg defence” is.

      Oh, great, ICE is just quoting Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now.

      ‘I thought, my God, the genius of that… understand that these men were not monsters… they had wives, families, they fought with their hearts… yet they had the strength… the strength to do that’.)

    We need to defend people like her (and everyone else who is denied due process).

    ICE is the enemy, and they need to lose their lives over this shit.
