ICE Agents Prioritize Deportation Over Seizure
According to Newsweek, ICE agents in Massachusetts prioritized separating a baby from a father who was allegedly having a seizure. The father, who was the subject of an arrest warrant for deportation, was left unresponsive on the ground while agents secured the child. ICE's statement focuses on 'child safety and welfare' (after they created the unsafe situation, apparently) and the man's prior
deportation order, which often stems from minor infractions under draconian immigration laws. This isn't an isolated incident. ICE, under multiple administrations, has a well-documented history of aggressive tactics, often separating families and showing little regard for individual well-being during arrests. How many times must we witness agents prioritizing paperwork over basic human dignity for
'security' that seems to solely target vulnerable populations?
