  I’m not a US citizen, nor living there. Pretty much nothing surprised me about US news till the last Trump administration, even then, I chalked it up with “oh guess they have an actual dictator with unlimited power now”.

  Last week I looked up the ICE and it shocked me. How can people let citizens and neighbors literally get kidnapped out of the street and then held in prisons indefinitely, with intentional zero traceability. You can get lost in the system and be held forever as a prisoner in inhumane conditions, without even being told on which continent you are on.

  All because you made comments on social media criticizing the current administration. Or because of your skin color or country of origin.

  That’s beyond 1984, beyond dystopia.

  Presumably this little girl’s parents were arrested. What’s next for her? Hope she’s somewhere safe.
