That chill would be the one brought by ICE agents, who descended upon a Worcester Massachusetts neighbourhood to arrest an 'undesirable'.
Police say two people were arrested when a crowd of people tried to interfere with an ICE operation in Worcester on Thursday. The incident has generated a lot of anger in the city.
Crowds swarmed around federal agents on Eureka Street as they took a woman into custody.
A witness describes what she saw. "The mom as she was being detained too, she was screaming, I don't know if she was being hurt as she was handcuffed, but she was truly screaming," Dali RaRocha said. "Those are the screams I have truly engrained in my ears right now."
The scene was captured on video:
Scenes like this are becoming commonplace in Amerika, and no one seems to be immune, as New Jersey's mayor found out recently, arrested for allegedly trespassing at an ICE facility:
Newark, New Jersey mayor Ras Baraka was arrested outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Elizabeth on Friday as the mayor and members of Congress joined demonstrations demanding answers from Donald Trump’s administration about the conditions inside, marking a major escalation of immigration protests surrounding the facility.
Videos from outside the facility shows a chaotic scene with masked federal officers pushing against a crowd in the detention center’s parking lot as Baraka is shoved towards the building and then placed in handcuffs.
New Jersey’s interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba — Trump’s personal attorney — accused the mayor of trespassing and ignoring warnings from federal law enforcement agents to leave.
Alina Habba, a former Trump attorney and devout loyalist who is doing very well for herself (currently the interim State Attorney for New Jersey), issued a statement dripping with both irony and hypocrisy. She sanctimoniously intoned,
“He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW”
Except her boss, of course. I'll leave it at that, as words often fail me when I try to describe the rapid and seemingly irrevocable devolution of the 'United' States into fear, suspicion, and anarchy.
Maybe Americans need a nudge to realise the rule of law is both fragile and important. Rising prices from stupid taxes may be the nudge in about a month.
ReplyDeleteThey do not seem to be apt students, Anon. I'm not sure that even rising prices will awaken them; the official story will likely be that it is still the Biden economy.
DeleteIt the new age thingy!

I this "modern world' one cannot disagree with either Trump or the Zionist state without fear of retribution.
I think we have read and experienced this before?

Thanks for the link, TB. It is a shocking story, one that I, had I not known otherwise, would have assumed was taking place in the U.S. The British have some explaining to do.
DeleteThe whole Palestinian genocide is one that indicts all of humanity. The ongoing silences and attempts at political persecution cannot hide the atrocities the whole world sees.
