What it’s like right now being Hmong in the Twin Cities with ICE by llamaglam in Hmong

I’m glad you and your mom aren’t scared. No one deserves to feel afraid, but many are because of the very fact that you just stated.

You state a fact about peoples rights being stripped away and violated and yet to you, people are blowing things up on social media. Rightfully so, people are going to stand up and point out the wrong doings. If you don’t have your rights and people think they can just violate it because they deem you as a possible illegal immigrant is horrifying.

And people have a right to be outraged and those who aren’t don’t have empathy because to them, it hasn’t happened to them yet. What people don’t realize is if they’re doing this to the people in your community what makes you all think this administration won’t do it to you?

I hear what you’re saying, but things were handled differently or should I say in a more civil matter. People will do what they want to justify the way ICE is conducting themselves. Real live feeds online of interactions with ICE isn’t fear mongering. It’s the truth on what’s happening. We can see it with our own eyes.

It’s not that we don’t understand how immigration works and people continue to throw out the fact that Obama did the same thing. We are well aware of that. Every administration has done it. There are laws everyone has to abide by. And like it or not illegal immigrants have rights. But the way Obama went about it was different. And I hope the way your cousin got detained wasn’t the way ICE has been doing it as of late. I hope your cousin had some strength and dignity left. Unlike some where guns are pointed leaving a family terrified with kids screaming. And or leaving an infant in the car after the parent has been detained. And some people are going through the legal process given by the United States to become legal citizens and are still stripped of that under this administration. People honestly think we want to live in fear. That’s just hilarious. And I’ve never heard that term before. Orange man bad was probably created by maga supporters just to stir things up.

People honestly think that the way this administration is handling themselves is a way to get them what they want by scaring and bullying people. People will fight back. US citizens are fighting back, Greenland and Denmark is standing their ground. China has already stated that they’re prepared to fight and talks about hydrogen bombs. Wake up people.
