To me, there are a lot of things that are galling here.
And I would say to begin with, you know, this whole thing is justified because there are claims that these people, ICE, are out getting the worst of the worst, whatever that means.
I don't like that phrase.
But, you know, you've brought up some great examples of the people that they have targeted, including the elderly Hmong gentleman who is a citizen and was dragged out of his home in his boxers and his Crocs.
And the only reason he had that blanket around his shoulders was because one of his family members tried to drape it on him before he went outside into the freezing weather.
It's about humiliation.
And there's just no caution at all.
And it just, you know, the story about the five-year-old child.
Yeah.
That is relatively shocking in that his father did everything he legally could do to comply with what our government asked him to do.
He had permission from our government to be here and go through the process to a Sikh asylum.
So they were here relying on our own government.
His father has no convictions whatsoever.
So what is the point of targeting him?
How do you justify that in terms of public safety?
And it's really frustrating, actually, to hear people talk about the fact that this five-year-old has been detained.
Because what do we mean when we say detained?
We're talking about a jail.
We're talking about a cage.
We're talking about a five-year-old child.
