ICE snatches 13-year-old and ships him 500 miles away from family
https://www.rawstory.com/ice-children-teens-taken/
The Boston Globe and Mass Live reported Sunday that a 13-year-old was "arrested" by U.S. Customs and Enforcement agents in Everett, Massachusetts, and is now 500 miles away from his mother and family in a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
According to the boy's lawyer, Andrew Lattarulo, there was an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department, and the boy's mother was called to come and pick him up. However, when she went to the police department, after waiting, she was told that ICE had taken him, Josiele Berto told the Boston Globe in an interview.
"The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States," the report said, citing the family's lawyer.
Courts have now gotten involved, with U.S. District Court Judge Richard G. Sterns ruling that the government must "justify" the arrest of the boy by Tuesday, Oct. 14. "Otherwise, he must receive a bond hearing no later than Oct. 17," the court documents say.

They are Article 1 - they need to be a check on power.
They need to honor their oath.

These actions are evil. People sit around thinking up horrible things.

(34,320 posts)Let's hope they are successful because my mother attempted suicide. Then she spent three days on a machine that was breathing for her while I lived at her bedside.
She had been an independent, intelligent, sweet, capable, talented person.
After that she couldn't remember anything for five minutes and was totally dependent on my half sister and me. Until the day she died in her sleep, a grieving widow. I'm not totally convinced that she died naturally either. I found her opioid stash when we were cleaning her room. Hundreds of pills.
So, if they try. They need to do a great job. Because someone is probably going to have to take care of them otherwise.
