  Except that ice has been detaining and killing native born Americans? There has been so many articles about keeping American born citizens in horrible conditions, and then dropping them off in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night during freezing cold nights. Would you like some? Or are you just going to say “That’s okay, because technically they’re abiding the courts”

  I did not know that about alligator alcatraz, that is actually very nice to hear about. It wasn’t brought down because of who they were housing there, but that is besides the point.

    No US Citzen has ever been killed after being held in detention by ICE.

    The only native born citizens that ICE has killed (undet this admin at least) to my knowledge were Renee Good, which later led to nationwide protests and a handful of riots, and Ruben Ray Martinez. Both were fatally shot while in moving vehicles.

    The man who murdered Renee Good is looking at a murder trial, but Texas grand jury has rejected indictments for Ruben’s murderer (for now).

    None of this has anything to do with an Olympic Athlete touching paint. Even in a hundred years the USA will never be comparable to the atrocities regularly performed by North Korea.

      Quite a few actually have been, they’ve just all been the wrong shade of white. Here’s arrests specifically opb.org/…/immigration-ice-arrests-propublica-whit… , and the next time I see another article about an American citizen being dropped off somewhere to die, I’ll be sure to respond to you with it.

        Your article contains the word died, death, or killed exactly 0 times, so you’re just verifiably full of shit.
