ICE takes 2-year-old girl and dad as fury grows over agents targeting children

ICE agents reportedly took a 2-year-old and her father in Minneapolis as anger grew over the agency targeting children and detaining them.

Minneapolis City Councilmember Jason Chavez said that Chloe Renata Tipan Villacis and her father, Elvis Joel Tipan Echeverria, were driving back home from the grocery store Thursday when immigration officials decided to detain them, The Daily Beast reported. Chavez created a GoFundMe fundraiser for the family, which has already raised nearly $60,000.

…

A judge has ordered ICE to release the child from its custody by 9:30 p.m. Friday, FOX 9 reported.

ICE has been accused of violating children's rights and taking children into custody. Immigration experts have warned that ICE has tried to use children as bait to attempt to lure parents during aggressive immigration operations. Those parents could have fears over detainment, violence or have other children to care for, CNN's Priscilla Alvarez reported Friday.

1. So they're STILL kidnapping kids

[Wicked Blue]

12. Kidnaping is a federal crime. I'd like to see these swine charged with it.

A conviction carries severe penalties, including up to life in prison. While there is no mandatory minimum sentence in most cases, if the victim is under 18 and the defendant is not a close family member, a minimum sentence of 20 years applies under 18 U.S.C. 1201(g).

9. This is what the people that voted for him want. They are enjoying this.

11. They may be enjoying the cruelty

But they are not enjoying their medical insurance bills , no food stamps catastrophic job losses and losing family farms. Pretty soon they will not get their jollies watching people suffer because they won’t be able to afford the internet. The good news is a lot of people are now paying attention, being woke has its perks.

3. these fucking monsters!

This excuse makes my blood boil " Agents took Tipan-Echeverria into custody and attempted to give the child to the mother who was in the area, but she refused," the DHS spokesperson said."

The mother refused??? BULLSHIT

[underpants]

6. That was their excuse with the 5 year old too. Bonvino is such a little Nazi shit.

[Norrrm]

4. ICE carries their big guns to intimidate women and children.

It is much, much safer to arrest children than attack armed MS13.

[Traildogbob]

5. So is

ICE gonna deport these children to Epstein Island to groom for Trump and his billionaire rapist?

7. People with children shouldn't ever be deported

[mountain grammy]

20. Exactly!

even if the parent is a criminal, convict them here and, if necessary, incarcerate them here.

parents should never be deported.

8. Effin evil

That is all

[chia]

10. You can't believe a word they say. They're proven liars. Here they say "attempted to give the child to the mother who

was in the area, but she refused" and I don't believe that for a freakin minute.

[angrychair]

13. Don't worry

I heard ICE say they know what to do with children. They just want to take them to a small island to met some interesting and wealthy people. Only the very best people.

/S

14. K&R

I vote for the kidnapping juveniles charge. TWO YEARS OLD! She could still be in diapers. I don't believe for a minute that the mother refused to take her.

They kidnapped a U.S. citizen if she was born here.

19. Would a link to a truth social post from the marmalade shartcannon satisfy you curiosity?

17. Welcome to DU.

21. Weirdo Library Girl comes here daily to be spanked.

[Jersey Devil]

18. Why give ICE until 930 tonight?

If I were the judge I would have ordered the child brought to my court room immediately.

[crimycarny]

22. I wonder how many ICE agents have addiction issues, domestic violence, etc.

I look at what these ICE agents are doing and I can't help but wonder what type of personality would continue to behave in this manner, and under circumstances where they are universally despised, heckled, and protested against (as well they should be).

Can you imagine the type of person who would thrive in these circumstances? That can't be healthy for anyone's mental health, so I have to assume many of these ICE goons are already broken. I wonder how many of them might have addiction issues that are getting worse under these conditions, broken relationships with family and friends, and failures in previous jobs.

These are very broken individuals, and this type of behavior on others must be exacerbating their brokenness.

NOTE: It is well documented that there was a high level of alcoholism and drug use among the SS and Nazi soldiers. This got much worse over time as they relied more and more on alcohol and drugs to deal with committing such heinous acts on fellow human beings.
