Key excerpts:

The family had been staying with a relative in Los Angeles for the previous seven months after crossing the border legally for a court appointment through the now-defunct CBP One App to seek asylum in October of last year. They had been granted parole status in the U.S. while they waited for their day in immigration court.

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying," Mukherjee said. “The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours.”

The 6-year-old boy has been diagnosed with leukemia and has missed a medical appointment to be treated for worsening symptoms

The Texas Civil Rights Project says the family has been placed in expedited removal, which allows for rapid deportation without a court hearing. The family’s attorneys fear they could be deported before their lawsuit is heard.

    i know we’re walking the edge of the rules here, but i’m hopeful that when one specific one of them finally fucking croaks (whatever the cause), things might start to turn around, seeing as how all of the rest of them who worship this person hate each others’ guts and the flock will disperse

    that day, when it comes, will be my own new personal holiday

      I do not advocate violence In any way shape or form. What I do say is that Thiel and his ilk are the main threat and that rump is just project 25’s little puppet. Thiel and his gang are the real threat and need to be put into the spotlight as soon as possible to get project 2025 dismantled quickly.

      I plan to call out Thiel every time I see a post regarding his little orange puppet.

      Is this clear enough for you post deleter ? Am I no longer hurting your assumptions of people’s intentions?

      Here is a definition of the words removed and dismantled. Please note that nowhere in the description is there mention violence of either of these.

      Definition: of removed: “distant in degree of relationship”

      Definition of dismantled: “to disconnect the pieces of”

      I really, really dislike when someone makes assumptions about whether or not I am a violent person. Shame on you whoever removed my post and I plan to escalate this before this platform becomes worse than Reddit.

      Again I do not advocate violence but I do think Thiel and game should be stopped ASAP.

        “Reason: advocating violence”

        I see no advocation for violence, just the truth about people who need to be removed from power.

        And I absolutely LOVE the implied “you can complain about all violence toward you but don’t you DARE even suggest doing the same thing that’s being done to you”

        Yes masters, we should all die quietly.

          Huh, my post was removed? At what point did I advocate violence? Removed means just that, not killed not hurt. Removed does not in itself mean violence. What is this Reddit on steroids?
