But when the 16-year-old’s case resurfaced this week in the context of a ProPublica deep dive into the widespread use of banned chokeholds by immigration agents, there was another detail that stood out as particularly galling in its sheer disregard for the idea that agents might face any kinds of consequences: The fact that the ICE agents in question allegedly sold Arnoldo Bazan’s confiscated phone for cash, potentially on the very same day that they took it from him.
This was my first thought when watching that video yesterday of them abducting the US citizen who was (allegedly) legally carrying in Minneapolis: what is going to happen to that firearm?
But a tankie told me they wouldn’t bother anyone carrying a gun 😱
Your first thought was for the gun, not the person. jfc.
Come on now. If you’re looking for a way to twist my words for your own personal outrage, sure.
There is no twist, those are your exact words.
I think it’s pretty clear he was thinking about the thug ICE agents stealing that poor guys’s stuff, the legal gun being the most expensive item.
