@ebottcher: I served as a volunteer observer at the Varick Street immigration court in Manhattan. We observed people fighting to stay with their families — seeking asylum, trying to go through the process and do the right thing. But outside the courtroom doors, I saw ICE agents wait in the hallway, ready to snatch people and whisk them away to detention in unknown locations. This is not how our country should work. We can have a fair, humane system — but this is not it.
Erik thank you for doing this work to witness these injustices to humanity. It’s important work, and let’s hope that a better more humane system will emerge in the future. I hope.

ICE never goes after the real criminals- just the easy pickings that are following the law. Lazy. Sick.

Abducting? That is a completely false statement. And leaning on this ‘asylum’ piece is nonsense - the vast, vast majority are seeking economic asylum, and everyone knows this. How is this a priority for your role and the use of taxpayer dollars? Performative progressive at their best.
