ICE tried to kidnap 2 kids from a preschool in Seattle today

This is per my sister.

Her boyfriend works at the preschool.

The officers that showed up had no warrant, so the school officials told them to fuck off.

I hate my country right now.

Were the kids siblings? Parents in a divorce situation? Pissed off father working for ICE trying to get around court order regarding child custody? Just wanted some brown kids?

My biggest concern is that some of these ICE 'detentions' and/or removal from the country might be about trafficking.

Will check Seattle news for any details

I think it can officially be categorized as "hearsay" as she's repeating her boyfriend's account.

I did a quick google and didn't find anything.
However, it could be that the school has not reported the incident to the media.

than this binning of conversations into silos (forums) and the difficulty of moving and linking.

I'll bet 80%+ of posts without reputable external links are just anecdotal.

They don’t seem to have normal emotions about these kidnappings and family separation and abuse of children, but they did seem captivated by fake stories like Pizzagate.

Wouldn't that mean a child who sexually assaults another child?

So maybe ICE thought that was who they were trying to abduct?

What about a 14-year-old boy who molests an 11-year-old girl? Or vice versa.

There are children who sexually abuse other children. That's why parents have stricter rules for 12-year-olds than 16-year-olds.

They infiltrate groups of other children, blend right in, and then attack. Downright insidious, I tell you!

One of their tactics is to nab kids and use them as hostages to force the immigrant parents to turn themselves in.

They probably easily joined ICE and are using what they think is power to gather up some victims. I'm sure pedo Trump and puppy killer Kristi won't mind.

Previously deported in 2023 and came back. I believe that is a felony

ICE has not explained why Romero was arrested Thursday morning, but Kevin said she was undocumented and had been deported once in 2023.

"She actually wasn't in the process of asylum," he said through an interpreter. "She technically doesn't have process right now. She had technically deported before. Because of her son, she had made the choice to come back."

That Nuremberg style trial with all the heads sitting in one big shitstain row of seats. All laughing and thinking their shit is gold like their leader, who never made the trial. Too bad.

Their faces go to stone when they see Jack Smith wearing the prosecutor robe stroll in with a handful of documents. Bondi, Noem, Tulsi Gabbard, Karoline Leavitt all dressed in orange prison suits, no makeup, hair straggled. Then the rest of the administration shitstain men in grey jumpsuits, Stephen Miller, looking like the proud nazi he is, looking scared as hell, Marco Rubio needed to change his pant cuz he pissed himself, starts to stink…..etc

Oh to have a seat in that courtroom….. I’d say Happy Halloween, but I’m hopeful this would be for Happy New Year, and Happy New Country.

These @$$h0l3s are going after children. Maybe staff as well but raiding a school? I've heard they're trying to raid churches as well.
