    The government said that Berrios’ apprehension was driven in part because she is an associate of the violent gang MS-13, which has Salvadoran roots.

    According to the current regime and their brownshirts, everyone with either Latin family or with a Latin name is associated with a violent gang, and they don’t bother to demonstrate it in court.

    This is exactly the hell we’ve been trying to prevent for fifty years, and failed.

      This is sadly also getting to be familiar:

      “No, it’s false. My mother, she works really hard since she was really little, and she never had anything to do with gangs or anything like that,” Cruz Berrios said during a recent interview on CNN, adding that her mother came to the U.S. in part to flee gang activity.

            You’re assuming that they haven’t already got their proof. People are arrested and held until trial all the time.

            This person hasn’t been thrown in jail or deported yet btw. They got arrested like someone would when they’ve been accused of a crime. It’s now up to them to prove that she is a criminal or she’ll be let go.

            That’s fine, we don’t like you either :)

            You guys are insane. You’re saying that we should just believe everyone when they say they’re not a criminal lol. Criminals would never lie, would they? Hahahaha

              I love y’all. My old man moved from Australia to the USA. If like to think if my mother was Australian and my father American, I’d be living a happier life. Enjoy the Barbie

              I guess you’re the expert on criminals since your entire shithole country descended from them

      This is exactly the hell we’ve been trying to prevent for fifty years, and failed.

      The whole project of liberalism – the idea that we could slowly reform American institutions instead of upend them – has failed. On anything close to the current path we will see no meaningful action on climate change, no significant redistribution of ill-gotten gains, and no lasting checks on the ability of the state to carry out the type of arbitrary brutality that’s the focus of this article.

      It’s time to think about which radical changes need to be made most urgently, and demanding those changes as a prerequisite to supporting whatever political leaders or movements emerge.
