In February, a woman in Long Island, New York, went with her two children to a scheduled check-in with ICE. Officers detained them. The mother, who asked to be identified only by her initials, M.S.P., because she fears retaliation from the government, said the family was taken far from their longtime home of New York and jailed in a hotel in Texas.
M.S.P. said in Spanish that the guards told her they were private contractors hired by ICE. She said she was permitted two three-minute phone calls to her mother-in-law. She said the guards warned her that if she told anyone where she was, her children would be taken away from her.
For nine days, she said they were not allowed to leave the room or even look out the windows. M.S.P. said two guards were in the hotel room at all times. Her teenager spent much of the time crying and worrying about failing missed classes. Her other child, age 12, worried about their cat back at home.
Her attorney later wrote in court filings that he could not find them in ICE’s detainee locator and was left in the dark about their location — unable to provide legal advice.
Who are these hotels that are allowing these nazi paramilitary assholes to hold kidnapped children on their premises? They know what they’re doing and what they’re enabling.
Right? Aren’t hotel staff trained to spot and recognize child trafficking?
I used to work in a hotel, and they never provided any training about any of that.
When is “used to”? It’s been a thing for at least 6-7 years now:

During COVID, so I guess thats when it got started.
The petition for writ of habeas corpus must be filed in the district of confinement, and it must name the individual “jailer” as the defendant.
Habeas evasion was one of the offenses perpetrated by George III, as listed in the Declaration of Independence.
Ah republicans and taking children to hotels, where have i heard this before? https://www.justice.gov/epstein
The U.S. is no different from the other hateful terrorist regimes.
In fact, they’re going to be great at it. They’re going to be the best. Other terrorist regimes will look up at them.deleted by creator
Ya. But then people who could vote thought the orange rapist was the same as a lady with a funny laugh. Americans are pretty dumb.
Just another reason that killing ICE agents should be socially acceptable.
