ICE Thug Breaks A Lawyer's Foot; Kamala Harris Wants To Break Foot Off In ICE's Ass


ICE Thug Breaks A Lawyer's Foot; Kamala Harris Wants To Break Foot Off In ICE's Ass

An immigration lawyer, Andrea Martinez, was busy doing her job of reuniting a mother and child who had been separated, when something slightly unexpected happened. Rather than being a facilitator of the happy reunion of a poor immigrant family, she became the victim of ICE thuggery and got her leg broken for her trouble. Now, most times ICE officials, like cops, are smart enough not to abuse people who actually will be believed when they report them. But this particular asshole not only broke her fucking leg, he also held her hostage in a detainment room for nearly an hour without medical treatment. Why? Because he fucking can, that's why. Shut up, snowflake.

From The Daily Beast:
"He slammed the door on us," Martinez said. "The ICE officer pushed us out and didn't let us follow our three-year-old client into the lobby, and then pushed me to the ground. I was wearing high heels, so that's when my foot was fractured and my leg got all bloody. And then my pants ripped. But then he called me back in and detained me for another forty minutes or an hour."

Okay, so not only did he push her down like a common refugee, but then he decided that it was obviously not enough to cause her pain; he needed to use his power to detain to make her suffer for making him hurt her, right? I was under the impression that law enforcement was obligated to send for medical assistance if they injured you, unless you were black. The rules change so often it's hard to keep up.
"He locked me in an office where I couldn't get out and he didn't let me call 9-1-1 or use the phone or anything," Martinez continued. "And I told him, 'I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding, can you at least get me a first aid kit?' And he said, 'No, it's not severe enough.' And then my foot started swelling."

Hi. Anyone else seeing this for the hostage situation is actually is? If they would treat an actual attorney like that, I am HORRIFIED at all of the horrible shit I'm imagining them doing to refugees who are too scared to complain. Not only did they abuse this woman, they also separated her from her minor client, left her bleeding, and what was his main concern do you think? Her welfare? No, of course not!! Like most totally innocent people who are doing nothing wrong at all, he was concerned that she might be recording him.

"Martinez said in a statement the ICE officer called the Federal Protective Service and "continually looked at my phone to make sure I wasn't recording him."

But wait her last name is Martinez
She's a Latina - I assume -another brown person- in his mind- she doesn't matter
I hope he has personal property - A home - I would prefer that she sues him personally -suing govt employees means that tax payers ultimately pay for their misdeeds.

I just read ten different articles.

I'd love the name of the ICE Officer. He committed a brutal assault. He broke her foot. I broke mine on March 7th - and I can tell you - recovery is expensive and time consuming.

She needs to sue him personally for every single cent including copays for physical therapy.

We need all of these stories - all of them.

Homeland Security. It's 'new'. It's not necessary. Or -

Every single agents name and pic can be listed on their site. My local PD does this with their officers - they can do the same.

I'm an American citizen. These people work for me. I want to know who they are.

Sure there were other agencies enforcing immigration and customs laws. But not as brutally as these assholes.

TSA is another group of incompetent thugs that needs to go.

This is the kind of visual WE CAN USE! It can (and should) be printed up and mounted on cardboard or poster board and used as a protest sign.

Just to be clear, this is not my own art work and I did not mean in any way to present it as so. I found this online in bing images. I meant, words...I'm still grappling with trying to find the words. Finding a graphic was the best I could do. I'm truly at a loss.

Because of him, they believe they have carte blanche to do whatever they want to these people and anyone else they deem as "inferior". I am spitting mad right now and can't even say what I want to happen to these bastards.

If our law enforcement agencies do not respect people, why should we respect them. I believe in their mission to keep our society safe but that purpose apparently doesn't even get on their radar. They'd rather use that as an excuse to abuse their position of power to bully people and act out their sadistic fantasies. None of these jackasses are any better than any of us and they need to learn their place.

What an honor it should be to be in law enforcement. Sadly, that's rarely the case because of poor hiring practices and the ulterior motives of the leadership and of the cops who sign up for the job. Far too many are just full of cruel intentions and have stupid reasons for being a cop. The job attracts bigoted control freaks. We don't need them as long as they act the way they are.

to a prison where he can meet some real thugs. Once they find out what he did, he'll probably be crying like a baby, and probably within two days.
