"When he was taken into custody Friday, immigration agents tied his dog to a tree and then unclipped his collar, allowing the animal to run loose on Sepulveda Boulevard"
An L.A. high school senior was walking his dog. Then immigration agents grabbed him
A high school senior was walking his dog in Van Nuys when he was stopped and detained by federal immigration agents who said he overstayed his visa.
Surprised they didn’t just shoot it
Cruelest Fuckers ever. That poor kid.
These ICE bastards all need to be revealed in the wake of this disaster and each of them to be shamed for the rest of their pathetic lives.

📌
this isn’t even the first time they’ve done this. that poor boy
this makes me so fucking nauseous
He's not a killer. He's not a criminal. He's a high school student.
He overstayed his visa.
He wants to be part of America.
low lives scums
OMG
Cruelty is the goal
Contradicting Noem’s directive to shoot the dog dead
Bastards! The cruelty is the point! I hope the law will catch up to these agents and throw them to the slammer! Such bullies and lawbreakers!
I’m surprised they didn’t shoot it for “being too aggressive” like they do most other dogs.
ICE (via Trump admin) is well on its way to creating a country run by WASPs for WASPs.
People at risk are going to have to start moving about on an as needed basis in secret compartments of cars. Volunteers needed for this underground railroad. Kids at risk will need to finish their schooling online. People at risk will need to hide out at unknown addresses. Fascism is here.
ACAB 🤬
Why is no one saying shit?
Cops, more than almost anything else, love hurting their victims' dogs.
I hate them
Dogs against Deportations
Pigs love killing dogs
Surprised they didn't just shoot the dog like most cops. Sociopaths.

Is it too late for Mango Mussolini to add this act of abducting high school students to his application for the Nobel Peace Prize?

If ICE just executed it's agenda professionally it would still be disturbing, but all the malevolent add-ons show that this about way more than just detainment and deportation.
The quality of people they have employed to this is bottom of the barrel.
When this is over, there needs to be punishment for all the people involved in ICE. Including the Bush Administration that created it.

Ffs...
It takes something special to treat a dog, any pet that way — even though they’re following the lead of their dog-hating Dear Leader.

What the everloving hell
White wing america
Someone knows the names of these agents. Name and shame
54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump.
I’m like in tears. What the actual F
The cruelty is just disgusting.
🤬🤬🤬
This is so historical. The casual cruelty.
This is horrible for so many reasons 🤬🤬🤬
I feel incredibly naive for not recognizing how many people get literal joy from being needlessly, ostentatiously cruel, and how many of them are being paid with taxpayers' money. Like, I knew these people existed -- I just didn't think there were so many of them.
The cruelty in the point with these maniacs
This is why they wear masks. They don’t want any accountability.
It's horrifying
Everyone of these agents should be doxxed and an interpol warrant issued.

I’m currently dogsitting a pooch I barely like (she’s insane and barks at nothing and I can barely get any sleep) and if anyone treated her like this I would feed them face-first into a wood chipper.
Casual animal cruelty is a well-known marker of psychopathy. Naturally, these thugs delight in it.
In the stories on @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social timeline today:
a story about right wing outrage (w death threats) over the death of an illegal pet squirrel owned by a gun-loving grifter
AND
a story about how ICE thugs tackle a guy walking his dog, then leave the animal running loose in the road.
shocked they didn’t murder the dog because everyone knows how much cops love killing dogs
Those sunzabitchez
Simply cruelty for the sake of cruelty.
Trained by Noem.
I have no words for this, just a hot, boiling rage.
These makeshift lawmen are the worst of us. This is not America.
We're being overrun by inhuman brutes.
Essentially that’s like throwing a dog out of a car on the 405. I’d rather have a discussion about the abducted teen whose mom was beyond distraught. Or the 54 yo father killed on the 210 trying to flee ICE. This is not caring about families
look i’m not kidding, if ICE is coming to put people’s dogs in harm’s way, we gotta start shooting
I hope everyone of these motherfuckers dies in the most pain agonizing way
OK, that's just gross. And vicious.
Yeah, that was the line that got me too. Says everything about their connection to any sense of life and empathy. And this boy - and other really dangerous criminal amirite? #authoritarians
Jesus. These folks are asking for some hard karma down the road.
They are detaining people in the most cruel and inhumane way as possible.
Hope the local animal control arrests someone for animal cruelty
I think it's time we quit referring to these thugs as "immigration agents." They're the gangsters the GOP is so falsely worried about.
Animal cruelty is a felony. The 1 good thing Trump's done.
WTF 🤬
They are fucking "human scum" as their dear leader loves to say.
The capacity for cruelty in ICE agents is unfathomable. We need their identities.
These people are literal proud boys
Unleashing a dog is the same as discharging a weapon. I’ve owned German shepherds my whole life.
😭👀💔😡
what monsters I hope there is video of this & they can be ID'd
This marauding gang of terrorists known as ICE is a permanent stain on our nation.
I would have killed them for that shit.
Fuck these guys.
Cruel

I hope those cretins will one day be forced to run on Sepulveda
This is so so sad. Not even animals are safe. They are innocent in all of this as well. My heart goes out to this fearful young man.
That strikes me as them wanting to appear like they tied it up and it got loose later, when what they actually did was let it free to it’d get hit by a car or lost
Where’s the endless screaming guy?
Death sentence for the dog, unless it is very lucky or timid; traffic on Sepulveda in Van Nuys is plenty thick.
Damn it!!!
Wonder how many react “omg” to the animal abuse yet let the human abuse pass by without remark?
That’s not as bad as leaving kids unattended in cars!
It’s all such unnecessary cruelty. Which I suppose must be the point.
They abducted a child and then set his dog off, imagine the trauma this boy endured, and then the conditions he is living in.
Does anyone know whether the dog was corralled? And whether there are any images of the agents (or whoever they were)?
Who feels good about this?
Evil
If you a human do this, any of this. You deserve the worst in life.
This is the worst of humanity.
Thank you for sharing. ICE are horrible slimeballs. The disgusting, racist underbelly of America.
May they rot in the hell they believe in.
Vile monsters
Only plausible explanation for setting the dog loose is to inflict more trauma on an 18 year old kid. Sick behavior.
They are sociopaths with salaries paid by our tax dollars.
How do these people live with themselves? This is needlessly cruel, dangerous (high potential to cause accidents on a busy road), and traumatizing. That poor boy isn’t a criminal. Their utter lack of humanity and compassion sickens me.
That’s a busy fucking area. Hope the dog is ok. Hope the kid has been released. These fucking goons need to be brought to justice just like the Nazis that were just following order
Well let us see if animal abuse nets more attention than human rights violations
Noem's disdain for dogs has filtered through the ICE agency. Only the most depraved among us would put an abandoned dog in harm's way on purpose.
Equal-opportunity cruelty.
If anyone did that to a pet of mine and it came to any harm they would never find the bodies.
Defund ICE
That hit me too. Just the offhanded cruelty of it. Also, Sepulveda is big, busy road FFS!
Just evil af.
Fuck these people
ICEholes.
That's fucking awful, but better than police, who will shoot your dog to death right in front of you if they feel like it. And they always feel like it.

Cruelty is the point.
The cruelty remains the point
Every southern Californian knows that a loose dog on Sepulveda Blvd is facing a death sentence.
Awful. I hope that young man is okay and reunited with his dog. Never let anyone get away with the myth that Republicans/conservatives are for liberty and against "big government." They have removed their spines to support the most intrusive, authoritarian, and asinine administration in US history
