A U.S. citizen on her way to a medical appointment in Minneapolis was dragged out of her car and detained by immigration officers, according to a statement released by the woman on Thursday, after a video of her arrest drew millions of views on social media.

Aliya Rahman said she was brought to a detention centre where she was denied medical care and lost consciousness. The Department of Homeland Security said she was an agitator who was obstructing ICE agents conducting arrests in the area.

That video is the latest in a deluge of online content that documents an intensifying immigration crackdown across the midwestern city, as thousands of federal agents make arrests amid protests against what local officials have likened to a "federal invasion."

Rahman says she was on her way to a routine appointment at the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when she encountered federal immigration agents at an intersection. Video appears to show agents shouting commands over a cacophony of whistles, car horns and screams from protesters.

Jews dragged from their homes by Gestapo were German citizens also.

The migrant vs citizen thing is the thinnest of pretences.

Sooner or later theyll just say theyre getting rid of anyone they dont like, say something about purity or whatever.

They are already mounting a Supreme Court Challenge to birthright Citizenship, and reviewing citizenship documentation for others.

Bottom line: If you weren't BORN here of American citizens parents, they want you gone.

When they're done dealing with those people, they'll start looking at other demographic groups.

Except for Musk and Melania and all of their in group.

Oh yeah, if SCOTUS kills Birthright Citizenship, then all of his anchor babies need to leave, too, even those with his first immigrant wife. Only Tiffany can stay.

I mean. Hitler was born in Austria.

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Slightly different situation since "Greater Germany" was a concept that predates Hitler while there's no movement for a single Nation to arise from all Anglophone countries.

You sound like one of those fuckers that claims the US Civil War was because of "states' rights" instead of slavery

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 0 points 2 months ago

What a bizarre accusation. Are this hostile to everyone with any knowledge of history? If I'm knowledgeable about more obscure concepts like Greater Germany or the politics of the Anglophone world, it's a stretch that I don't know that the Civil War was, according to the confederacy, entirely about slavery.

If you weren’t BORN here of American citizens parents

Not to say that if you were born here of American citizen parents they don't also want you gone. Plenty of brown people with Hispanic last names who's ancestors have lived in the lower 48 for 20,000 years are also getting harassed and abused by ICE.

ICE already says their facial recognition app is more accurate than your actual citizenship papers.

They already claimed they wanted 150M deportations. i.e. anyone who isnt white.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Nazi ideology in-a-nutshell.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

You didn't catch when they called her an "agitator"? Pure, uncut fascism.
