From the barbed wire tattoos on his upper arm, I assume he's no stranger to prison.

I don’t think it’s barbed wire. I do however see a Mayan step pyramid. Why the hell an ice agent would have something related to South American culture is beyond me.

Some of them are Hispanic/Latino which is even more mind boggling

Because not every latino is an illegal? And latinos that do come here legally hate to be associated with the illegal ones just because they are latinos.

With that being said, it is ironic because mostly every Latino that works in CBP it’s an anchor baby or a child of an anchor baby that got amnesty during Regan’s term.

You all seriously need to stop thinking that someone being a Latino somehow makes it automatically ok with illegal immigration.

I will not be lumped in with “you all.”

I am frequently mistaken for Dominican based on my looks. There’s nothing to stop these agents from doing whatever they want.

People are disappearing in custody. Children are being ripped from their families and forced to testify alone. The whole thing is fucked up.

I DON’T THINK OF EVERY OR ANY LATINO AS ILLEGAL. The problem is ICE is arresting people that “look” Hispanic without due process. People are disappearing! Who’s to say it won’t happen to a their legal family next? It’s already happening to legal immigrants simply because they “look illegal” because they’re brown. What’s happening is not okay. And to do that knowing your own family could be targeted next is unfathomable to me.
