Wisconsin state trooper detained by ICE at Madison airport
ICE has kidnapped a Wisconsin state trooper whose family brought him here from South Africa seeking asylum.
mattschmer.bsky.social264I was not expecting this version of “they eat their own” after the midterms.
grizzo 🦦101this is as mixed as my feelings about ICE can get, i think
Himbo Blacksmith🇿🇦🇮🇹90this is still fucked and shouldn't have happened however, you do have to admit that it is kind of funny
Jolly Confused71I thought they liked white South Africans.
Crepuscular Canard49This is, in order: 1) Wrong 2) Funny 3) Probably Advantageous to us.
One1voice49Van Der Merwe entered the United States in March 2019 with permission to stay until September 2019. … "DHS reversed the horrendous Biden-era policy that allowed aliens in our country illegally to jet around our country….” Wait, who was prez in 2019? 🤔
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick203The Trump admin has arrested and detained tens of thousands of immigrants who are legally working while they await a decision on their status through the U.S. government's bureaucratic and backlogged immigration system. It's legal, but totally senseless; an effort to hit quotas.
Rebecca Watson196hey guys I know it's easy to laugh about this but it's important to remember that laughter has so many positive benefits and if you are a progressive who tried to prevent this but it happened anyway it's actually super fucking funny and I love that we can all just laugh about this. lmao
maple cocaine42Pre ICE, every once in a while you'd see an Irish immigrant in the bronx get snatched from a neighborhood filled almost exclusively with illegal Irish immigrants. My guess is someone dropped a dime on him
The Alternate Historian22I guess they don't like white South Africans anymore either.
Andrew Parker6Never has the “let them fight” gif been more appropriate than a fight between apartheid Johnny and ICE.
Krombopulos Michael6ICE and DHS are so full of shit. Burn it all down. We did fine without them before 2003 and 2002 respectively. We’ll do fine without them in 2027 and beyond.
Freethinkers United For Change4Don't worry, they'll find a way to release him and quickly...for some white reason!
Marci4So, aside from the racism and bigotry, the motivation behind detention is quite simple: profit. This is a for-profit system with a penchant for suffering, fear, and cruelty. Sure, they go for the brown people, the easy marks first. But, anyone they can snag, abuse, for any reason is fair game.

Frieren, The Autumn Tiefling 🍂2Wait, who should I be rooting for in this situation?

Spiked Doormat3If they're going after Dutch cops, then that means White South Africans are also on the ICEtapo menu. Thus should be fun.
Bobby Blue Byrd1Also not the first one (He's back on the job, now) abc7ny.com/post/illinoi...
Bobby Blue Byrd1Maybe he can tell his buds on the force to stop supporting trump?
White South Africans being deported?😒 "Why can't we take people from like, well, Norway? Uhh, Sweden? Uhh, why not Denmark?"🤣🤣 www.kake.com/news/wiscons...
C Black2Weird. He must have posted an anti-Trump meme. 😉
Bobby Blue Byrd1Dude sounds like a hardened criminal. They tried a similar move on some white Euro immigrant that joined the police force in the Chicago burbs a year or so ago. Lost track of the story, but believe they let him go eventually.
BillyDee 🇨🇦 (CA)1If you're going to start deporting white South Africans, may I suggest Elon Musk?
