I believe the nurses. Always believe the nurses.

ICE probably told the truth they rammed his head into a brick wall.

Josie Esquivel's avatar

Many times, apparently.

MARI's avatar

Several times? Read the article

They have already released him. He is staying with friends, as his family is in Mexico. He has a brain injury and in for a long recovery. For literally no reason at all, they beat him almost to death. They had no reason to detain him. He is a business owner. I pray he will regain his health, but right now he cannot work and he was the bread winner for his family. They should pay for this assault with prison time. This is not okay.

Shaun King's avatar

Thank you so much Erin. This is devastating.

Ivelisse Blanco's avatar

And pay financial restitution to all of their victims. They must be able to sue them personally, not just the Agency.

Linda Friedman Ramirez's avatar

The Mexican government should prosecute these agents and seek extradition. You can be sure the US would do if situation reversed. If anyone knows of a gofundme?

Joan C. Harwood's avatar

Can someone start a GoFundMe for him? He’s going to need support.

Angeline  Craig's avatar

They must pay for the multiple things like this. Not to mention all the other incidental costs people are facing due to ICE!

Jillybean's avatar

This was attempted murder! Wtf is wrong with these evil fuckers! Wtf is wrong with our country? We have gone light years backwards from the progress our previous civil rights activists have fought for!

Steve Glicken, MD's avatar

Prison time AND a shitload of money!!!

Steve Glicken, MD's avatar

And murder sentence if/when he dies

ICE are Paramilitary Terrorists carrying out the orders of Convicted Felon Fascist Republican Regime Dictator President Donald Trump aka Agent Krasnov for the Russian Federation

Roy Joseph Maxwell's avatar

They should be forced to compensate him swiftly and in the mean time they should be forced to financially support his family

Diane McConnell's avatar

This is a disgrace and deserves investigating. God bless those taking care of him!

Cooksandme's avatar

I hope he recovers fully and sues and pursues charges for those that did this to him - Ice/government

Jos Backus's avatar

The reasons are: they could, they knew they would enjoy it, and that there would be no consequences for them for doing it. So they did.

Cooksandme's avatar

Sickening but believable-

Karen's avatar

Link to GoFundme?? Please

Deb Thomas's avatar

Thanks for this update 💔

Deb Thomas's avatar

Omg, this is our Federal government hiring criminals who do not care about the life of someone’s son, grandson, brother, or uncle 💔

Same morality as is in the absence in their Commander & Cheat.

Do they have to pass a test requirement for those who are also malignant narcissist? Seems like it!

ICE are Paramilitary Terrorists

Nurses are the salt of the earth. They spend their lives caring for strangers. I believe them too.

Shaun King's avatar

Absolutely. Nurses are easily some of my favorite people on the planet.

Them and fireman

Lauralee's avatar

Nah firemen are fucking thieves. They will steal your gold fillings out of your teeth if they can. And don’t come for me if you’re a firefighter. I lived through 911 and we saw what they did so fuck all the way off.

anna Rom's avatar

Girl, easy does it. All I said was they save lives, and I too lived in NY and worked not far from the towers and had to walk home too.

Lauralee's avatar

My Humblest Apologies. I should have written that better.

I didn’t mean for you to FATWO. any firefighters who were going to defend any thefts that occur at scenes is who I was telling to FATWO.

p.s. I know all the secrets because companies to tell me (civilian, 27 years).

anna Rom's avatar

I know secrets too, but I think before I write

AuntiBeadle's avatar

Unfortunately, it was nurses during the COVID pandemic that were hit by, spit on, hatefully screamed at by MAGA anti-mask ant-vax patients whose lives the nurses were trying to save. 😖

anna Rom's avatar

Stupid is as stupid does

Blank Blank's avatar

Time to abolish ICE by any means necessary cause the dems are not going to do it.

Nancy Feagans's avatar

ABOLISH ICE. PERIOD.

Josie Esquivel's avatar

The People must do it.

Debra Seitz's avatar

We are not politicians running or actually ruining the government so the only way WE THE PEOPLE can ABOLISH ICE is to…

Rotasha Lewis's avatar

This reminds me of the cause of death explanations in South Africa during apartheid and Russia now.

Shaun King's avatar

Indeed. Complete fiction. Thinking of Steven Biko.

Kimberly's avatar

That's the equivalent of a domestic abuse victim being told to say she ran into a door, or fell down the stairs. Bullshit he ran into a brick wall.

Mary-Elizabeth Meagher's avatar

This is utterly horrific. Praying for his full recovery and choosing to hold onto hope that ICE will be abolished, and this lawless agency will be held accountable for its dehumanizing actions. This must not become our normal.

Lewis C. Taishoff's avatar

A supine and paid-for Congress is worthless. The DoJ has been so compromised that it is no defense. The institutions, to say nothing of the media, of this country have been so far compromised as to be useless. We see that paper Constitutions and laws are of no use when confronted with Nazi tyranny. We know what happened in Europe; if we refuse to learn, we will repeat.

Dan Koziolek's avatar

America’s pro-life party is trying to kill as many of us as they can.

Lauralee's avatar

Culling the herd.

Fed up's avatar

this is so sickening and heartbreaking. I pray he has a full and speedy recovery and he sues them for every medical bill and for long emotional support

Susan Wells's avatar

God bless the nurses. God smite ICE.

Lioness's avatar

Home after an Attempted Murder?

Home with a Traumatic Brain Injury?

Looks like a Crime against Humanity in the Custody of the United States of America.!

Lifelong care and forever restitution at least..💦🤮

GOP REGIME and the Private Concentration Camps! Someday , Somewhere…. Justice will be served.

AuntiBeadle's avatar

Agree ! We can only hope this regime is brought to its knees.

The Anti-Trotsky Trump's avatar

We are slipping into a lawless authoritarian system where constitutional guardrails are disappearing. Jefferson wrote about it 250 years ago this July. This is exactly why we left a tyrannical government. MAGA are not patriots, they are the Tories!

Claudia's avatar

Something to highlight - who will pay for his medical bills? He is likely to incur high medical expenses, who will pay those?

Claudia's avatar

Are you sure?

Because from what I have read this is not a given - I’d be grateful if you could expand.

Lauralee's avatar

I didn’t say it was a given but there is a going to be a big mess to clean up here. Our treasury is empty. They will sue the government and get judgments. To believe otherwise is naive.

If you’ve read something about it, why don’t YOU expand?

Claudia's avatar

Addendum - this is an issue which just does not arise around here. Because we all have healthcare, we just go to the doctor/hospital and get care. No bills, no court cases, no nothing.

I like living here.

Claudia's avatar

Actually, the reason why I don’t think it is that easy is due to something called the ‘Bivens’ rule. I heard about it on a podcast but it got a bit too technical (I am neither American nor a lawyer). But basically what the people on the podcast said was that it was actually really difficult to achieve redress if the government violated your constitutional rights.

Related to that, I have also asked on other occasions as to who will pay medical expenses if you’re the victim of a crime. And the general response seems to be that you’re on your own - until and unless you get a judgement against the perpetrators or his estate.

I’ll repeat my question - in a situation where a person is injured by federal authorities, who’ll cover the medical costs?

Lauralee's avatar

No one does. Thats the point!

So…..we (the taxpayer) pays one way or another. When hospitals go close due to bankruptcy etc. the taxpayer always pays.

You’re going to go in a circle. Hope you enjoy yourself.

Some Things About Me's avatar

Shaun, every day I move a line of my own making. How much brutality will I tolerate? How long do I remain in my ever pressured mind before I go out there with a John Deere tractor to pick up the garbage? These invisible goons are still immune. Fuck what Trump SAYS, his lies cannot cover anything any more. Congress? Supreme Court? Laughable. Citizens are running out of patience. Including this one. I know some kids out there. If I ever see a name I know…

Karen's avatar

All ICE agents should be arrested & put in jail. This level of violence to the people who live in this country is unforgivable & cruel! Every ICE agent is guilty of murder, even if they didn’t pull the trigger themselves! I can hardly wait until these goons are in prison where they all deserve to be.
