This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

I say with every fiber of my Jewish being that the violent abduction of our immigrant friends and neighbors is a chillul hashem — a desecration of G-d’s name. Like the separation of children from their parents at the southern border, this is a stain on the soul of this country. 2/

Unless you are native to this land your ancestors came here seeking a better life and likely a refuge from violence, famine, or fear. In honor of our ancestors we must all speak out against this horrifying violence. 3/3

@ruthz.bsky.social "....the incident has had a “ripple effect,” bringing on a collective trauma to the wider community, not just the family involved.

Although New Bedford police responded to the scene, they said they could not intervene because it was a federal enforcement action.

@clusterfcku wow they know he’s not even the right person and they did that anyway.

“Sniffin said her clients were told the agents were looking for someone named “Antonio.”

“I said, ‘Well, that’s great, because your name is not Antonio, so you should be fine. Show them the paperwork that you have and you should be fine.’ And the agents didn’t pay attention to that,” she said.”

@ruthz.bsky.social I hope someone in the USA is documenting each and everyone of those 'ICE' people's faces and names if they are known, there will come a day when they will be brought to book and the excuse of 'I was following orders' will not excuse them. #Fascism #USA #Mastodon #Fediverse

@ruthz.bsky.social I hope that after the coming US civil war there will be Nürnberg style trials, where all members and facilitators of this fascist government will have to pay for their collaboration. Their main excuse will be "I did not know…", as it was in Nürnberg. So documenting every step they take is of crucial importance. #StopFascism #Trump

@ruthz.bsky.social Just for completeness, there are even reports in regular media about the madness.

https://newbedfordlight.org/lawyer-federal-agents-detain-guatemalan-man-29-with-no-criminal-record/

Not that it would be okay even then, but the ICE idiots seem to have got the wrong guy (as in not the one they looked for). But as my local law student explained it yesterday to me, #Trump 's escalation kind of makes sense in the US system of escalating, draconian justice. Even El Salvador makes sense (have you checked how much a maximum security federal prisoner costs?)

Lawyer: Federal agents detain Guatemalan man, 29, with no criminal record

Immigration agents blocked the car that he and his wife were driving in and smashed a window to detain him without presenting a warrant.

Look, I know it’s a bit different when your psychopath cops all have guns and carte blanche to shoot you for looking at them wrong but the only way to beat this is if everyone does it together. They can’t shoot or deport you all. You’ve got to stand up. It’s tough to be the first person to do it, or the second probably. I’d like to think I’d do it if the situation arose
