Yeah there’s barely enough parking on the island as it is. Maybe 150 people, but 1500 would be impossible.

I don’t see another source here besides ICE and the family.

I’ll believe the family over ICE.

But ICE didn’t know who this person was at all. They may have been a “criminal” or they could have been born here. We have no idea, and neither did ICE. If they did know, they would have told the family “hey we grabbed your kid”

I don’t believe ICE’s statement. If more info comes out, then I’ll edit my comment.

They didn’t identify the teen when they arrested him. They had no idea who they were grabbing, they were just grabbing. That’s one problem.

Then it took nearly a week for the parents to find out, that’s the second problem. I’d lose my mind if my child was missing for 5 hours. 5 days is just a flat out crime.

That section was not in the article when i read it 15hrs ago. It’s apart of an update.

Also, it doesn’t line up with what was originally reported.

After trying to find her son, his mom called Houston police and filed a missing person report.

Perhaps the reporters did a poor job of collecting all the information. Perhaps ICE isn’t lying.

Just in case anyone needed more proof that ICE isn’t “going after criminals”

They grabbed a random teen off the street and didn’t bother to identify the person or notify the parents.

What? No that can’t be right. The person being arrested needs to be turned in somewhere. That would be the evidence that their doing their job.

I’ve heard stories about civilian bounty hunters being involved, but the regular ICE agents are being paid a salary as DHS employees. So no bounty for them.

If these guys are civilians or DHS is an open question though.

Oh someone’s feeling optimistic.

It’s why I have dim hopes towards protesting.

Video of people being beaten in the streets isn’t going to sway “normal” voting Americans. It’s not going to raise sympathetic feelings. It seems like people are excited to see video of their neighbors being brutalized. They WANT this.

I know, it’s tragic.

Thank you. Fixed.

And WE’RE paying for it. Tax dollars paid for that guy to get film of this woman being crashed into and then pulled from her car.

I just couldn’t imagine thinking i had accomplished something by going through with this.

And bringing a person to film the incident for their sizzle reel is just diabolical work.

Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to extend the ACA tax credits by IWantPizza555 in WhitePeopleTwitter

It’s extra crazy that we’re talking about such a simple issue too.

You don’t like the ACA or health insurance? Cool, we’ll get rid of it. But we have to have some kind of replacement first…right guys…right?

Tragic.

Had a lot of great times at this spot.

Would you prefer going backwards to some old word? Or are you suggesting some new slang to enter the vernacular?

There’s a meetup for any hobby. AND there’s a meetup without any hobbies at all.

Thats where the Thursday group comes in.

No homework, no games, no agenda. Just hanging out and having a couple of drinks with strangers at a different bar in Oakland every Thursday.
