We are living in a nightmare

[TacosUberAlles]

This is horrific. What can we do to help this person because I really want to.
This isn't right and is very wrong. I hope this gets amplified because it needs to be & I would like to see our lawmakers involved with this case along with humanitarian orgs & the UN itself.

The story to the article is here

Video from Texas PBS is below.

1. pure hell on earth

for he and his sister, and how many others? And for what? Destroy into destruction?

[Initech]

2. Fox News is a terrorist organization. They created this nightmare.

[Clouds Passing]

17. And heritage, they are the worst of the worst.

3. it's not just unAmerican

it is INHUMANE

[GiqueCee]

5. Ah, Skittles...

... you appear to be operating on the mistaken assumption that Stephen "Nosferatu" Miller and his merry band of psychopaths are, indeed, human. Miller long ago forfeited the right to employ that honorific to describe himself. He is, however, a monster in the clinical definition of the word. And if there isn't actually a clinical definition of the word in the DSM IV, there sure as hell oughta be, next to a picture of Miller. He is the walkin', talkin' personification of pure, malignant evil, and you can be certain that he is taking cackling delight in this poor man's fear and pain, 'cause that's why he pressed Trump to let him run this horror show in the first place.

6. I know EXACTLY what they are

the modern day GESTAPO

[aggiesal]

7. I refer to them as ICEtapo n/t

[Nululu]

4. Are these people contractors?

They're prohibited by law from acting as government agents. This is my understanding. They have no more legal standing to grab people than you do.

[PatSeg]

12. I'm pretty sure that most of them are contractors

DHS is desperate for bodies so they can fulfill quotas and a lot of these guys are probably being paid bonuses to get them to take the job. Though I wonder how they advertise for new hires. Also there could be some mercenaries involved like Erik Prince's operation.

Most of what they're doing does appear to be illegal, which could be the primary reason they wear masks and don't show ID.

[Nululu]

14. A mayor was asking police to verify them

ICE are the illegal ones with what they're doing

[PatSeg]

15. They appear to be both untrained AND illegal

I'm sure there are lot of stories that will come out eventually about this criminal operation.

8. Kick for visibility

Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

9. When are we going to start calling these concentration camps

and admit that torture and death is the logical--maybe the intended--result for unknown numbers of detainees?

And for those who don't care about immigrants, if Trump can do this what is to stop him from doing this to anybody?

How bad does it have to get before the people with guns (police, military, Proud Boys....) won't defend it any more?

How many of these people will be on trial in the Hague?

10. situation in Mongolia

this country is as big of a mess as the United States. Look at this page, which was archived by our "state department:"

https://2021-2025.state.gov/reports/2023-country-reports-on-human-rights-practices/mongolia/

Especially look at Section C:

snip

c. Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and Other Related Abuses
The law prohibited such practices. Nevertheless, the quasigovernmental National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) reported some prisoners and detainees were subjected to unnecessary force and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, particularly to obtain confessions.

Responsibility for investigating allegations of torture and abuse was assigned to either local police or the Independent Authority Against Corruption, with the anti-corruption authority generally responsible for crimes committed while on duty. The prosecutor’s office oversaw such investigations.

Please note this section goes back to 2023, but if you even just skim this page, it doesn't look like the situation has gotten any better.

11. How soon before they start pumping exhaust fumes into his cell?

16. I used to be an advocate for the deaf.

As an aside, mute is not an acceptable label, just deaf. I worked with deaf people who were refugees from a middle eastern country. I'm thankful Trump was not president back then. There are some pretty good deaf advocacy agencies in Texas. They need to know this is happening. It sounds like they used video relay, and probably ASL.
There could be an interpreter somewhere in the US who knows Mongolian sign language if there is such a thing. The people I worked with did not have a local signed language and were never allowed to go to school. These people grew up using gestures and mime. He needs to be able to speak to a deaf interpreter. Deaf people can communicate with deaf people from other countries better than hearing people. But not over a video call. They will need extra time and the ability to draw pictures to find a way to communicate.
I'm sure Trump will not give a rat's ass about his disability and allow special accommodations. Deaf experts need to be contacted. Hearing people don't have a clue what his life has been like.
Steven Miller is evil incarnate as are his minions who do this dirty work.
I hate this all so very much.
