The three plaintiffs, all Black men in Tacoma, Washington’s Northwest ICE Processing Center, say that the assaults reflect a “recurring pattern by a group of guards,” especially defendants Justin Berame and Kobe Suafoa. It accuses the two guards of a series of assaults in 2024, including against a 28-year-old from the Democratic Republic of Congo who arrived in the U.S. as a teen, named in the lawsuit only by his initials, RT. According to RT, GEO Group guard Berame singled him out by name on April 2, 2024, separated him from his unit, and led him to a blind spot in the surveillance camera view path. Instead of the typical pat-down RT was expecting, Berame “began grabbing RT; not running his hands over RT to determine if something was hidden under the clothes, but gripping his body, his thighs in particular,” the lawsuit states. When Berame put his hand on RT’s crotch, RT flinched, the lawsuit states.

“At that point, Defendant Berame forced his hand into RT’s pants and groped his penis and testicles. Nothing about the groping was reasonably designed to detect contraband,” the claim continues. “When Defendant Berame wrapped his hand directly around RT’s penis, RT again flinched, and said something like, ‘what the hell?’ But Defendant Berame continued grabbing RT’s genitalia while staring him down, and said, ‘don’t move.’” Berame “again grabbed RT’s penis and held it for an unreasonable time. The guard’s purpose appeared to be to sexually humiliate RT, using sexual dominance to assert a pathological need for power and authority,” the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit out of Tacoma, WA is really, really disturbing.

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken.

“I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold.

The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

right wingers freaking out about the superbowl is “so weird” - they definitely don’t do that every time, even more pathetic when it’s basically “WhY tHeY sPeAk SpAniSh MuSt bE enLiSH” despite it not being the official language of the us and puerto rico is somehow “not in the US” lol

fucking losers

Alt text: Screenshot of two tweets by Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) on X/Twitter, shown in dark mode. In the first tweet, he criticizes the NFL halftime show for being performed largely in Spanish and featuring flags of other countries, calling it a disrespectful gesture toward American fans. In the second tweet, he says he didn’t watch the halftime show live but saw clips, calls it a disgrace, argues football is an American sport and culture, and says the show being in Spanish was a “middle finger” to fans. Engagement metrics (replies, reposts, likes, views) are visible under each tweet.

You could open up a salt mine from all these posts. Stay mad.

You had 4 months to learn Spanish, not his fault you couldn't understand him.

dems are pathetic and wont do anything even when they have leverage (aka right now)

dems should not be talking about "fund dhs if we get reforms on the gestapo" - it should be "cut funding to dhs"

Democrats Determined to Squander Advantage on DHS Funding - The American Prospect Democrats are succeeding in getting a showdown on new rules for immigration enforcement. But will those rules amount to anything?

From me: Chuck Schumer's legislative demands for DHS funding are so narrow they almost mirror what ICE/CBP have just announced in Minneapolis. Just as Republicans were conceding the need to negotiate, Democrats pre-negotiated themselves into mush.

on social media bans

1 - problem is not minors using it, but the fact that platforms design to be addictive
2 - gambling sites push this so they can continue advertising on said platforms

in case you’re still buying stuff from amazon - i’ve switched to ebay when necessary

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
