Trump's ICE agents take a elderly Hmong man out of his house in his shorts and slippers..........

JFC!!!--at least let the man dress!!


Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

.....................................
ICE officers apparently went to St. Paul resident Elizabeth Lugert-Thom's home last week, according to a report from The Chicago Tribune. She warned in a Facebook post about the encounter where agents who were not wearing identification badges or disclosing their names asked her to share the location of any Hmong or Asian neighbors after they asked about a person they were searching for in the area.


“They said, ‘This is for your safety. We need to find this person,’” Lugert-Thom told The Tribune.

Lugert-Thom told the agents she did not know the alleged suspect. That's when the masked officers shifted their request.

“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street and in the neighborhood,” she added, explaining that she evaded their questions and did not share any neighbor names with them. .......................................

6. under the pretense of finding a few criminal illegals, the republicans have unleased domestic terror

on immigrants. There are no rights. Basically detain anyone with an accent or looks different - put them away for 30 days -doesn't matter if they are citizens, born here, or not violent criminals. If they get afraid or resist, shoot to kill. And they invade homes on mass and violently grab them. Every republican knows this is happening, and many claiming to hold Christian values, are doing NOTHING OR SUPPORTING.

How any minority can ever support the republicans again is beyond me.

This is how hitler took over Germany to all those who have wondered how a society could allow such horror to be unleased.

Why is this not being shouted on the few reasonable news programs that remain? Why are our billionnaires not buying up media to support the truth being told on the airways?

I'm surprised they brought him back after finding out he was a US citizen. Hope he's okay.

@TheTNHoller
ICYMI — In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house.

They released him an hour later.

The cruelty is the point.

11. World take note: This is how the US treats people who sided with us.

Before you side with the US, ask the Hmong, the Kurds, the Afghans, just what they got out of that.

We're well along in teaching Ukraine the same lesson.

We're going to have a hard time recruiting allies, especially local allies in trouble spots. Any wars the US starts will be fought by US forces, and the body bags will be returning to "The Homeland".
