Makes it easier to convict Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu immigrants.

These Nazi assholes have no limits. There will be accountability on these ICE motherf*ckers, as well as when they burn in hell for eternity.

I'm surprised not by the callousness of the DHS, but that there is only one licensed interpreter for those languages in all of Texas.

ICE is Trump's Gestapo

@propublica.org @meidastouch.com @lincolnproject.us @npr.org @pbsnews.org

We're wasting needed skill sets of perfectly good humans on this ridiculous witch hunt.

These people are sick.

Indians in USA have been a big target for a long time now. You have Nirmala, Vivek, Patel, D’Souza and cretins of Republican Hindu Coalition openly advocating racism and, have been on the receiving end of MAGA.

Texas sucks ass.

My vocabulary range eludes me every time I read about ICE. I have only one word. Fuckers.

🤬

Help this person asap please.

Citizen. Let’s make sure we have a changing of the guard there. Trust e.line

I hate how the media is covering the war 24/7 and don’t talk about the terrible things that ICE is still doing 😡. Four hours of the Joe and Mika show and they could talk about so much more than they do

A true patriot should NEVER end up this way!!!

🤬🤬

There's been reporting that another scientist involved with UAP's has come up missing. This man happens to be Hispanic. Maybe they should look towards ICE for this scientist disappearance. It's sad that so many people are being targeted just because of the color of their skin.

Donnie and his Ghoullianies find joy in harming and killing others...on your dime. Failures as human beings.

Ответ для dabxdee

And private prisons are making lots and lots of money from the incarceration of innocent people.

Ответ для Nancy Ann ❌👑 👍🏻🐸

It's what America is #1 at...

Ответ для dabxdee

And not broken the law. When will people wake up and realise these are concentration camps

Totally disgusting!

“SHE”……….we are the 1st perceived enemy….we take jobs from men.

The stories just get stupider and stupider. And sadder.

@lazytato.bsky.social

The entire Republican Party belongs in jail

T

I hate this. We are cutting off our nose to spite our face over and over and over again again what a valuable person this is who is being abused by racists

ICE arrested the immigration court translator. Wow, we are entering a—living life as parody moment.

Go figure. She has brown skin. Makes her a target.

"worst of the worst"

I hope the ACLU and/or the Brennan Center for Justice interfere resulting in her release. This is maddening. Clearly she was doing her job. It is legal for people to come to the U.S. to seek asylum.

Just waiting for the new episode of “Let’s Call Luigi” to drop…

horrific. 💔

Absolutely disgusting!

Kidnapping and extortion should not be something that our government gets paid to do with our tax dollars. The 💵 pissing me off.

Welcome to the ICE age

Cruelty is the point..

upending lives of nice hard working people. the disgust level is off the charts.

America is dead

CC: @atanet.org

When Trump declares War on India, and Pakistan, who is going to translate his shit posts for them, or their responses?

She must be one of the worst - I hear she is harboring pedophils at a Texas pizza joint. Trump and Miller should burn burn burn.

Maybe grant visas and green cards to people who show their value to others with useful skills instead of nude models

Ответ для apple431

ICE doesn't care about visas, green cards, or even citizenship if the person is brown.

Ответ для Jared (hard "d")

We are stupid as a country expelling the educated doctors scientists linguistics and prioritizing uneducated whites and nude models

Ответ для apple431

Yes you are stupid as a country when you let these dumbasses take the reins and continue to drive the cart when they’ve metaphorically toppled it over how many times in this past year alone.

Ice/racist doing unlawful segregation. In America we still have our civil rights. Lawsuits need to start happening against the US government for illegal activity.

Sure seems like she was targeted because she was helping immigrants.

tragic

WTAF??!! Dayuuum!

WTF!!?? 🤬

The system is irretrievably broken , this administration is abusing the system its beyond any normality at this point .

How awful!!!

This is so sick.

ICE is an abomination.

Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The actions of a bad society, enabled by her amoral citizenry.

India should have a few words with the idiots in charge.

The cruelty is the point. In Texas, no one should be able to speak any language other than English.

Please keep us updated. It's just vile.

Oh come on! This cannot be serious. No civilised country treats its long term assets this way - surely?

Ответ для Simon Killen

Asked & answered. No legit claim for “civilized” to be made by this regime now.

Death to fascists and their enablers.

Uneffingbelievable.

This is truly very sad. Trumps evilness rules in America.

the worst of the worst?

The depth of the ass-holery and fuking evil shite this “administration” is capable of — to the point of garbage like this — continues to shock. And I’m sure she thought she was safe. She wasn’t. NO ONE is. Not until we make these fascists GONE.

Thank you for posting this.

Horrific story, and it is so depressing that I can't finish it. But I will. The Texas Observer is doing such good work.

All ice agents have earned the quick Rapture sought by Republicans

Wtf

At this point we can all see that nothing matters to maga except being white, Christian, and maga. All others are subject to arrest regardless of immigration status or citizenship.

Horrible

This is insane! Release this person! And all of the other detainees! What the hell is wrong with the US?

And yet...the ASSHOLES who are in charge think THIS IS WHAT AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT? EVERY SINGLE F'IN ONE OF THEM are an EMBARRASSMENT to the IDEALS of our REPUBLIC... DIS-GUSTING...

Sounds like retaliation.

Jesus Christ! ICE is just an evil and inhumane organization right now!

🤬🤬🤬🤬

😪

Sorry, but I really need to question her judgement of relying on Temporary Work Authorizations to hold off her court ordered Deportation Order!! Why not take the effort in those 36 YRS!! to get her green card process started when SHE KNOWS immigration law well enough to advocate for others 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ответ для Scocanambhoy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

Why do you think you know better than she does what she could have done?

Ответ для Scocanambhoy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

Because it's entirely possible it would be either difficult, or it's taking a long time because of the visa availability for her country. And if she hasn't been here with proper status, she may have to leave for ten years and then request to re enter. It's not just "file an I-485, done."

Ответ для Sokudoningyou 🇲🇽🗽 🇺🇦

My wife had to self deport and return. We’ve both been in the U.S. a lot shorter time than the person in question. My point is.. The daughter of an Indian student who wanted to stay after she graduated, became U.S. Vice President! There are laws to be followed, good things happen when you do! 🤷🏻‍♂️

followed.do
Ответ для Scocanambhoy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

So she left for ten years, then filed to return? I'm glad it worked for her, but that still doesn't mean everyone can do it.

Ответ для Sokudoningyou 🇲🇽🗽 🇺🇦
Ответ для Scocanambhoy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

Again: glad for her. That does not mean everyone else will be able to do the same. Immigration law is insane and complex, and her situation may mean it's very difficult for her to adjust.

Ответ для Scocanambhoy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

that's correct. laws change over time and don't apply to everyone the same. i take seriously aaron's request not to pile on. that said, you are, despite your very real experience, ignorant of the whole reality of immigration. I mean this sincerely: if you do not know all of this image,

Ответ для Scocanambhoy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

If you leave with a withholding of removal grant you are not coming back.

Ответ для Scocanambhoy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

How do you get a green card based on a grant of withholding

Ответ для Jamie Roberts

You don’t. You file the forms for a temporary work visa, and subsequently a green card while on permission to remain . I live in Texas, and have 4 work colleagues (2 Venezuelan, 1 Honduran & 1 Mexican), who all got permanent status after arriving and not being granted asylum.

Ответ для Scocanambhoy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

work visas are unavailable for people who are not admissible, so that's wild. same with applying for the green card - you're not in the category of people who can do that unless you're very, very lucky.

Ответ для Joe Gordon
Ответ для Scocanambhoy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

You can get an ead with withholding

Ответ для Scocanambhoy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

Maybe this is a language thing. “Work visa” is like an H-1b, or L or R. Permission to enter the country to work. Work authorization, the work permit, is available to people applying for asylum or with another process or status in effect.

Ответ для Scocanambhoy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

I kinda worry BlueSky could one day become the left wing version of Xhitter. Some of the accusations to an “opinion” bordered on the downright psychotic 😂😂. Teach me to think that the victim mentality was under the sole ownership of “the base”.

#FUCKICE.

Are you fucking kidding me?!?!?!?!

David August ❌👑

Even POWs are treated better than ICE/CBP do. POWs "…must…be protected, particularly…against insults and public curiosity." - Art. 13 of the 3rd Geneva Convention “…images…identifying individual POWs…amount to exposure to public curiosity." ICRC "Shielding prisoners of war from public curiosity":

Don’t worry: The morale will improve as the beatings continue.

I will certainly try to. They're making it really hard for people to vote these days. 😡

You would think the legal/judicial profession would find a way to intercede. She’s obviously very valuable.

Ответ для nojustdan

Immigration judges work for the Attorney General

Ответ для nojustdan

The reason she’s valuable is probably not unrelated to the reason she was arrested.

Ответ для bscherzer

I know some court interpreters. They are very skilled at using the most precise language possible. Who goes to jail and who goes free often hangs in the balance. They are also well paid.

“There’s no room for decent people in America. Arrest that woman!” - ICE

ICE priorities started questionable & are soaring past bizarre into the stratosphere.

FFS! How is this even okay with anyone?! What did she do, other than assist with interpretation? Is she some nefarious criminal like the dude stumbling around the WH?

😡

Just one more for the “how low can you go” crew. I just would like to see an election ad with all the headlines like this of stupid evil ICE moves on a loop.

What can we do to help? Write hundreds of letters to the detention centre manager, or what do you suggest. Asking seriously. Is PEN America able to help? They should have a Translation and Linguistic Rights department that may help draft a statement? I'm a literary translator and interpreter too.

I hope she's talking only in Hindi, Punjabi, or Urdu

Racist sociopaths.

Some Judge on a power trip needs to issue a writ for her to his courtroom to translate. Then hold the ICE turds in contempt if she is not there on time.

Sickening. Heartbreaking.

Those nazi fucks. Step on those cockroaches.

This is absolutely despicable. I sincerely wish her luck getting her case in front of some sane authorities and getting released.

Abbott doing God's work, not

Seems to me like we’re shooting ourselves in the foot!

We are a shithole country

The poor woman.

I feel safer already. I’m so glad the orange felon is getting all these dangerous criminals off the streets.

OIC: "Batra, who has spent nearly half her life working in immigration courts, stopped working for the government’s side in immigration proceedings—instead helping only the immigrants seeking status—after seeing the conditions in detention facilities and how detained people were treated."

Ответ для 🄼🄴🄴🄷🄰🅆🄻 ⭕

This is awful, and it sounds like they will likely deport her to a country she has never lived in, such as one in Africa.

disgusting abuse that should not be tolerated.

It's long past time to revoke the qualified immunity that shields ICE agents who violate someone's civil rights.

And still people come to visit. FIFA World Cup will bring even more. How stupid can they be?

Usha Vance is complicit

Definitely the J6er scumbags who the pedophile pardoned are doing his dirty work.....they won't arrest the first whore who can barely speak coherent English after decades of being here.....

Soooooo great…what a country…right?…

This is a sickness in and of our country. Victims of this persecution deserve to be released and all the restitution that is possible.

This detention denies timely due process for anyone she would have been translating for.

Ответ для Somewhere In ATX

That was almost certainly an intended effect of her detention

Ответ для Somewhere In ATX

I honestly HATE this regime!

This is SO WRONG!

> The [DHS] spokesperson continued: “Employment authorization does NOT confer any type of legal status in the United States,” adding that the department is encouraging all “illegal aliens” to “self-deport.” < Huh? Then what the hell kind of “authorization” does “employment authorization” grant?

Ответ для Rudely Van Gelder

they make it up as they go along

Gross

America really really sucks these days and at the bottom of it all is Fucking Texass. The one state I will not drive through even if I was paid to.

Concentration Camps

Guys, let us take the power from the capitalists behind this shit show. Join a #CommunistParty and let us offer all US residents an alternative to liberal politics, something that is worth fighting for. FYI: @communistsusa.bsky.social @demsocialists.bsky.social

Sick

Every ICE agent should feel the abuse that they inflict on others.

While Americans sit on their hands and have a protest every few months.

This is appalling & despicable.

Horrific! Every day the US' horror stories keep getting worse!

all Trump supporters voted exactly for this, don't forget this when we all go to the polls in November.

The pain is the plan

Yeah it’s shit like this that makes me want to tell Bill Maher to StfU when it comes to him concern trolling that we want ICE abolished (it’s one of his tells he is a right winger

The worst of the worst?

What are we doing!?

Utterly ridiculous and outrageous!

The stupid just doesn’t stop in the MAGA era. Neither does the cruelty.

She looks quite dangerous, sure. 🙄

Way to go Trump voters! Are we all safer now?

Wonder who she voted for

Enough is Enough!

I’m going to start a list of how to dismantle the whole immigration system.

This is what happens when you put racists in charge

Ответ для Loomis360

And pay them by the head for arresting innocent people.

Rather befits the definition of shooting yourself in the foot! 🦶

She has been in the USA longer than most of these ICE agents have been alive. These ICE guys are under pressure to make their quotas.

Ответ для Mike Murray

they're evil racists why bring up quotas

Ответ для S.H. Slime

The quotas cause ICE to haul in US citizens and those immigrants who are pursuing legal status. It’s all about body count.

Ответ для Mike Murray
F

The quotas only give them permission to do what they joined ICE to do, which is terrorize and brutalize non-white people.

Ответ для forrcaho

They also enjoy terrorizing and brutalizing white people if they can find an excuse.

Ответ для forrcaho

That poster was explaining not justifying.

Ответ для Mike Murray

I mean yes and no because they are also clearly relishing their power here. Even without quotas the way they handled this sounds like they'd gleefully do it either way. Like yes the quotas are evil but these guys are also enjoying rounding people up. Quotas aren't the real problem.

Ответ для S.H. Slime

My bigger issue was saying they are under pressure to meet quotas sounds like excusing some of their behaviour whether you mean to or not.

Ответ для Mike Murray

The quotas are not pushing anyone to do things they don't want to do though. They are encouraging ICE agents to spread the terror that they think anyone who doesn't look or sound like them, or identifiably belong to their tribe or who even has different politics, "deserves."

Ответ для Mike Murray

Evil rotten souls cause ICE to do those things

Ответ для Mike Murray

This is bad regardless of number and citizenship status.

Ответ для Mike Murray

MMMurray, you really think its quotas? They are in it for the cruelty.

Ответ для Mimi

I think there is a performance bonus. The cruelty is just an added benefit.

Ответ для S.H. Slime

Because it’s important to understand the actual mechanics of how atrocities are carried out.

Ответ для Jawn of the Dead

the actual mechanics are they employ racists to brutalize and destroy minorities. quotas or no.

Ответ для S.H. Slime

I would suggest you read “Eichmann in Jerusalem” by Hannah Arendt.

Ответ для Jawn of the Dead

the book that was critiqued as not representing Eichmann very well in that he was actually a horrible antisemite and wasn't just following orders?

Ответ для S.H. Slime

Is your position "no, government bureaucracy does not contribute to making it easier to terrorize marginalized people"? Because that's the point of bringing up structures like quotas

Ответ для S.H. Slime

Because evil racists also like getting paid

Ответ для ontheotherhand

I've got bad news for them on that front too it sounds like

Ответ для S.H. Slime

I hope they get more bad news

Ответ для Mike Murray

These ICE guys are human shit buckets regardless of any pressure

Ответ для Mike Murray

ICE sucks but the big problem lies in our laws. Her long stay in the country doesn’t mean much legally and the ICE rep in the article is unfortunately right that a work authorization doesn’t prevent deportation either.

Ответ для Mike Murray

And they always -always- do it in the laziest, least dangerous way possible. She’s not dangerous or a threat. They’re just extremely cowardly and lazy. Have been for years; this regime is rewarding them for it.

Ответ для Mike Murray

Reading the article: sad part is that agents took photos with her when she was handcuffed. They're using these for their trophy wall / pics.

If Democrat senators and representatives aren't standing outside these institutions demanding them be dismantled then they're not doing anything. Stop arguing for TV and pretending you're doing something

Isn't that convenient

Complete and utter disgust with what passes as human beings who arrested her.

ICE is the American Gestapo, and Trump is—as JD Vance once observed—America's Hitler.

So many leaders are cooperating and collaborating with GOP/trump bsky.app/profile/bolt...

Bolts

A man who was deported after being released from a Massachusetts state prison wonders how the state can justify working in partnership with ICE. “The governor has the power to hold back. But they played a role to allow this to happen to me.”

Indefensible

So Sad & waste of time & money for WHAT ? Guessing not the worst of the worst Shameful

When tracing the roots of our fascist OILigarchy, all roads lead to Texas (or at least pass through it); from Kennedy, to the deconstruction of public education, to the rise of the mega churches, to J6, to the current redistricting push...

Ответ для R. Wellian

Texas and Florida are the only two "Red" states that are developed enough to be actual countries into their own right. Without them, the other red states are best described as either Apartheid States or resource extraction client states. Some both. Why they are the dual capitals of MAGA.

Ответ для Ryn

and the bush family was dominant in both

Ответ для R. Wellian

Considering that part of the Old Confederacy was establishment of Aristocracy, not surprised that all the oligarchs and old oil money have flocked there. America has no kings. It also has no aristocracy, no landed gentry, and no Nobles. As much as MAGA's real drivers wants that

Ответ для Ryn

Add in that Texas is a petrostate, and Florida sucks in every asshole from the blue states because of nice weather and being a business and tax haven. Also because property is cheap because both are flat at lack topography that hinders sprawl

Hey, if toddlers can defend themselves without counsel, then who cares about language difficulties?

This administration has everything upside-down. Just brutal.
