Two members of the National Guard were worried ICE would grab their mom at immigration hearing so they accompanied her

in uniform

What a deeply heartfelt and yet screwed up situation.

8. not too hard to figure out who would be interested in that kind of work

MAGAt thugs, yes, like moths to a flame

2. If they won't even identify themselves to

a member of Congress there is no chance that they will identify themselves to the people whom they kidnap.

3. Meanwhile, the National Guard is also assisting with Trumps deportation effort.

They only care about themselves and their own families. They're more than content to help drag off everyone elses.

See the mass shootings at Ulvade as another general example. Cops went in to save their own kids, but arrested anyone else who did the same - All before deciding to sit back and watch as multiple children were later murdered.

4. Wow, All kinds of Screwed Up

Consequences Are Coming from the Traitor's War On America.. Also some Good ones!

TY In It To Win! All immigrants should be so Fortunate to have NG in their families.

5. If that's the only way it can be done safely

If the only way one can keep such an appointment and return home safely is to be accompanied by two or more paramilitary in uniform, then so be it. If that fat pig denying entry to Rep. Jerry Nadler had been given the added incentive of seeing Jerry accompanied by some military fatigues with unholstered sidearms, he might not have been so smug in his refusal.

6. Sadly this was thought necessary...

... and probably rightly so.

It would be nice to live in a country where all people are free to go about their business freely and without fear.

Our whole immigration system needs renewal, re working, or replacement so we can hire the needed workers, protect the refugees, and create a true "United" States in which are are able to become citizens, residents, or at least have a legal status.

9. Imagine being in military service and having to do this. Think it would make you question serving?

In an Army whose motto is "This We'll Defend!"

How is this defensible?

10. And what would they have done if ICE had arrested her?

All three would have ended up arrested. They certainly wouldn't have resorted to violence, or if they had, they would be in all kinds of trouble under the UCMJ.
