and also worked as a music instructor and substitute teacher at the Texas School for the Blind.

So glad they forcibly arrested the blatant criminal.

Do i need the /s or does pointing out the fact that he literally worked with blind children do enough?

  1. Why are they removing people from planes leaving the country to detain them.
  2. Wouldn’t it be better to just do the European tour and then stay in Europe at this point?

Because it’s just nazism. They want to imprison and harm non-white people, and they’re using “immigration” as an excuse.

Yeah this is the first time I’ve heard of someone being taken while trying to leave the country. Very Kafkaesque.

This will start happening on all levels. Also with academics for example to prevent the brain drain.

Hispanic people are being sold to CECOT. It is unequivocal human trafficking and no one is stopping it.

CECOT does not engage in rehabilitation. No prisoner has ever been confirmed to have been released from the facility and authorities have stated in media statements that there are no plans to release any prisoners. Additionally, the imprisonment of deportees from the US is a controversial issue on its own.

Why are they removing people from planes leaving the country to detain them.

From just my reading of the various news stories around ICE activity I’ve come to a few conclusions about what the internal policy must be:

Reduce immigrant population in USA by X - Use as close to legal justifications as possible, even the weakest thinnest reasons, but also don’t be afraid to simply make stuff up if you need to deport the person. If you can get them out of the country under false reasons, then their ability to get back in becomes much harder even when US government Judicial rulings allow them back because their deportation or deportation lacking in due process was unConstitutional.

So to accomplish this they seem to be operating in this order:

  1. Immigrants picked up by active criminal investigations unrelated to immigration status.
  2. Raids and actions seeking out immigrants who have committed no crimes, but with unsettled legal immigration status.
  3. Immigrants that travel through Border Checkpoint systems: visa renew, Green Card application, even entrances and exit points on the border. These immigrants are then threatened, coerced, or tricked into “voluntarily” surrendering their legal immigrant status at which time they are deported.
  4. Immigrants who may have committed and been convicted of minor crimes, even if many decades prior, where they have served time or otherwise paid their debt to society (even a small fine). Minor guilty plea deal marijuana possession charge from 10-15 years ago are not uncommon justification for deportation here.
  5. Immigrants that are actively engaging with government systems (as in unrelated to justice system). This can be for social services, family services, educations, or even healthcare.

The more desperate ICE becomes to try to accomplish their primary goal, the longer this list gets on where they go and what they do.

So to answer your question about the case here in the OP, my guess is perhaps #3 or #4. We won’t know until he’s released from custody and is able to tell us.

Nope. They’ll dump him in a shit-hole detention someplace. Let him rot for a few weeks or a couple months, and then either release him to await a trial or deport him to El Salvador, claiming that his tattoos mean he’s in MS-13. Why? It’s not about him. It’s about setting an example. The goal is to make the idea of coming to the USA so scary that people, particularly brown people, are afraid to do it. It’s working too.

It’s also about disappearing people with multi-syllable surnames.

  1. The official answer would probably essentially be something like “they’re a super-criminal who will return to destroy America”

They know where they’re going to be. The person checks in and they can snag them. There’s not a 100% guarantee that the person will be on the return flight home.

Why didn’t they detain him before he’s on the plane though? Plenty of checks and time.

Either they want the theatrics or some racist left a false tip because he didn’t want to sit next to some foreign looking dude.

I mean, I don’t know. How long is a string?

We’re all pretty aware that this administration loves to make examples out of people, so I think you have your answer there. Gestapo aren’t here to follow the rules.

This was in answer to :

Of course, they were leaving the US to go to Europe.

The band member was subject to a magistrate’s order and could not leave the country, as you would find out if you clicked through to the Austin Chronicle.

I found no mention of this, in either article. Where did you see this claim? Doesn’t really make sense to plan a tour abroad if it were true.
