A New Hampshire man with a green card was detained by immigration officers at Logan Airport and is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Donald W. Wyatt detention facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island.
Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.
She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression
Oh, hell no. They tortured this guy. What. The. Fuck.
That headline is fucking horrible. That is not just an “interrogation” even if you put it in quotation marks.
Just republican shit.
Literally that. This is why when you meet a republican voter in real life they deserve nothing but shame and shit talk. Don’t interact in any other way and they’ll fucking get it eventually or they’ll do us all a favor and kill themselves. Wasted of oxygen
Jesus Christ what the fuck
To everyone outside that shithole of a country: for the love of fuck stop visiting the US unless you have a reason. Its clear border security can do whatever the fuck they want with impunity. It isnt worth the risk. Let the country rot and leave them.
I’m a citizen and was planing to go to china for work to visit our office there. I have no concerns about China but I have major concerns about coming back to the US from china and being investigated be border “security” about why I was in china. This is insane.
That’s because the us is so filled with morons they can’t even do authoritarianism right. Legit not a single fucking brain cell involved in right winger bullshit. It’s all just morons being morons
American here: listen to this ^ dude.
Note that this guy is a white European. White Americans, they’re coming for you sooner than later. I hope you’re clear on that.
He’s gay and not Peter Thiel. Probably comfortable, without that amount of
bribedonation money, political preference unknown.He’s gay too, though.
It’s okay, America will think about rising up once half of them are dead in camps. They won’t go ahead with it, but they might consider it before realising it’s not following the decorum.
I saw his mother’s post a couple days ago on social media. Since I couldn’t find a news story about it, I thought maybe it’s fake news like so much that proliferates on social media. Nope. It’s real.
Welcome to America: where we can torture you first, before it’s determined illegal (and even then, barely or no repercussions).
Feels like they are targeting Germans specifically. Strange.
I hope my partner will be fine going back. He came here on Vacation while shit was going down and now he has to go back to the US soon. Shit is scary and I’m really worried.
Another one? Crazy that they can detain lawful permanent residents
Not “crazy”. Fucking unacceptable and must be stopped as soon as possible. That distinction matters.
There was no justification. And he was mistreated and hospitalized as a consequence.
Wonder if he had a gun and shot them on being illegally detained there would be a case for him? Cause it’s starting to seem that green card holders should only travel with guns if possible in case they get abducted by overzealous morons in immigration. If immigration agents got shot for trying to abduct people they’d think fucking twice (if they had any brain cells in the first place)
All right out of Stalin’s playbook. First you arrest them, then you hold them indefinitely in jail without contact with the outside world. During this time you torture them until they confess to whatever made-up “crime” you accuse them of, and preferably falsely rat out others who the torturers want to give the same treatment to. Then you sentence them to decades of “hard labor” in a remote camp, and to more torture. Sentencing done by a non-judicial, non-accountable administrative tribunal whose primary job is producing “guilty” verdicts in order to meet their quotas.
Apply this method to the weakest first, and then to the working classes (including veterans) and then to the middle- and upper-classes (administrators and engineers and military leaders and especially “intellectuals”), rinse and repeat, until you’ve got yourself a society composed of individuals who live in utter terror of Uncle Elon and Tusk, and of being arrested themselves. Members of that society will never step out of line, will never be a threat to the regime.
Here’s a first-hand description of how it works : https://archive.org/details/TheGulagArchipelago-Threevolumes/The-Gulag-Archipelago__vol1__I-II__Solzhenitsyn/
That playbook is literally how the US justice system has worked since pretty much the beginning. Our constitution explicitly enshrines the right to keep slaves.
And calling the Gulag Archipeligo a “first hand account” is laughable. That book is basically folklore and rumors.
