I'm glad he's okay and released. The ICE thugs need to be held accountable. Krasnov and his bully regime ( Stephen Miller, Noem, Homan, etc) need to be kicked out of the White House. I hope the bill that the Democrats created "No Masked ICE" ( I'm paraphrasing) need to pass and he adopted by all 50 states. Because this shit has to stop. Enough is enough.

The cancer needs to fully be removed. All of them. Every single person that has agreed/helped with all the regime has done.

Unfortunately, this is a good way to describe this administration. It IS a cancer on our society, and needs to be completely removed!

How? I completely agree with you. They ARE like cancer. And they DO need to go. How do we do it? Don't tell me - vote. We know that and we also know there is no guarantee that our votes won't be tampered with. But what else?

Remember - tens of millions of people in this country voted for this nightmare. What the heck do we do with them? They are impossible to reason with. They won't listen to any logic or any factual information. They are out there and they will vote for something equally horrible again, because people like the Orange Yam enable them to be their worst, racist, sexist, xenophobic selves. And they LIKE it.

Apparently the drumpf administration feels like it is NOT enough, & unfortunately under the protofascist guidance of Stephen Millstone this will continue until we can effectively remove the drumpf administration from power.

Do you think they do the same thing if they weren’t allowed to wear facemasks? I don’t.

And, usually forgotten when Padilla is mentioned, is Congresswoman LaMonica McIver who was doing just what Padilla was doing, her job, was roughed up and actually been indicted. Where is support for her?

I love how even though he went through something so hard today his focus is on the immigrants and what is happening to them. You can tell where his heart is.

There needs to be an expose' done on recent ICE hiring. These so called "ICE officers" DO NOT look like trained law enforcement. I wouldn't be surprised if Noem is recruiting and/or deputizing proud boys or other far right vigilantes to do their bidding. Since they are doing all this wearing masks and not showing warrants, what's to stop a far right group from just mimicking them and snatching anyone off the street. People will think it's ICE and not help the person being kidnapped.

She has said that there are indeed J6er's who have been given jobs with the government. It's repulsive.

I have the same question! Who are these masked people without government issued ID?! They look like guys off the street. Heavily armed, no training, no clue about the law. And I agree, as far as we know, they are pardoned J Sixers.

America and ALL Americans are under ASSAULT and under ATTACK from this Fascist Regime. NO American is safe from these Fascists! They ALL must be driven out of office and arrested and jailed for their assault and attack on America and Americans! Dictator Donnie, Miller, Noem, Vought, Homan, Bondi, Patel, Hegseth, and ALL the rest...........

I agree with you 100%. I also think the Republicans who are now working for Trump should realize that they are next in line. He turns on everyone. Ask Michael Cohen. Ask Elon Musk.

What they did to this man is disgusting and reprehensible. And what's being done to all the immigrants - the way they're doing it and why just makes me sick! A Hispanic friend of mine who is a natural born citizen was stopped and made to lay on the ground - in Arizona, no less. They didn't believe he was a citizen and the only reason they let him go... get this! was because he can speak fluent English.

If they didn't show legal paperwork and wouldn't reveal themselves, they took you and Edgardo illegally. With out the proper processing, they have no legal charges for you and you had the right to "resist, which, technically, is just self defense from being kidnapped. We must fight these, to show them they can't do this. I would definitely fight back. They were the criminals and we have the right to fight them. I would fight it to the supreme court. There's no way they can say we were wrong, when the proof is they proceeded illegally.

One of Trump’s detainees, not a criminal, not illegal. A Danish man here legally with no criminal record. ICE took him into custody at an immigration process hearing where he was taking measures to become a citizen.

Likely will get no headlines from left or MAGA media as it does not fit the narrative each has. Since I could not find the original post about Kaspar Erickson posting the gofundme set up to help his wife and four children. Last update from his wife May 27.

I’d heard he was a big Trump supporter? Is that true? If so, I have zero sympathy for him.

Do not know, but likely would not be up yout alley to have any sympathy for someone who does not fit a particular narrative instead of seeing the injustice no matter who it happens too.

U know what assumptions do, right? I can think of many other causes i will donate to before his, tho. People who supported trump when he clearly stated what he was going to do are the reason we are in this mess. They got what they voted for. If they're unhappy, welcome to the light side, but get in there and fight to undo what they wrought.

Good grief enjoy your hate.

Considering he is not a US citizen the victim cannot vote yet.

Wallow in your hate.
