Another story that’s a nightmare. I mean that literally—ICE seems to construct bizarro realities that follow the “logic” of a bad dream. Nothing makes sense.

If the Trump administration cared about addressing crime, it would tell ICE agents to stop kidnapping and torturing people. But it's encouraging and rewarding them for doing so because it is a criminal enterprise. www.masslive.com/news/2025/08...

Federal authorities refused to tell the Canton woman's husband or lawyer on what grounds she was being detained until shortly before her release.

ICE released this Mass. mom with no phone, 30 miles from home in the rain after detainment for a sealed marijuana conviction

    This is extraordinarily good reporting of a story I can barely believe could happen in the US. The historic record of what is happening right now is going to be absolutely brutal if your country manages to emerge from this horror, which is looking increasingly unlikely.

    They had her take a shower at the men's facility. In jails, they have cameras everywhere, and I'm sure a lot of those ICE agents watched her take a shower while she was most vulnerable. CBP and ICE agents are definitely NOT humans!

    It makes no sense to those with decency and compassion. It’s part of a strategy if the goal is to demean, abuse & induce fear. Eventually, a day of reckoning will arrive and perpetrators will claim they were only following orders and had forgotten about their oath to the U.S. Constitution.

    Someone, quite loudly, needs to remind these ICE folks that “I was just following orders” did not prevent consequences during the last Nazi administration. The “Thousand Year Reich” lasted twelve years. Their time is coming sooner than they think.

    How is this happening in the United States of America? We all need to vote these horrible people out of office.

    And on the Twitter, I’m sure this story is filled with “I voted for this!” “FAFO”, “should have just shown I’d”, “fake news” “if they drove her home she would have been in custody longer and you’d bitch about that”.

    I am speechless after reading this horrifying account of the sadistic treatment of this poor woman. I hope this story will be shared internationally so that the world sees how quickly we have devolved into a fascist national.
