    Not trying to blame victims here but there are reasons you don’t keep your life savings in cash. Civil forfeiture has been around for a long time

      They took their wallets, cell phones, laptops, funds.

      You can’t log back into your bank without 2fa in a lot of cases.

      You can’t get a replacement SIM or phone without ID, and money.

      You need several forms of ID to get anything from your bank if your card is missing.

      They just moved weeks ago from another state and may not have had a local bank yet.

      The mother asked for a business card or some sort of paperwork to try to get their stuff back or at least know who to talk to, ICE refused.

      They took the mom, and adolescent daughters out of the house in underwear, wouldn’t let them get dressed, possibly cause ICE believed they would hide any illegal immigrants in their vaginas? Unsure.

      Instead of looking at the situation and coming to the logical conclusion that the people are not involved, they were fucking disgusting wannabe Stasi police, making America great one traumatized little girl at a time.

        I fully agree with you and think that this is the logical consequence of fascist thinking. This event is unconscionable and I presume that there is a line of lawyers waiting to offer their services. They will be made whole and then some…eventually. I feel terrible for the trauma they gave gone through.

      You are doing exactly that.

        Not to be an asshole, but…

        Is an asshole.

        Not to be racist, but…

        Is racist.

        Not to be [shitty human traits], but…

        Is [shitty human trait].

        I dislike it when people do that. You can’t excuse your wrongness by admitting you’re wrong beforehand…

        Next you’ll tell me that suggesting to look both ways before crossing the road is blaming the victims of traffic incidents.

            And people here are projecting their anxiety about the situation towards an unimportant comment rather than at the people who are the real criminals here. It shows immaturity.

              Pretty sure people are capable of calling out your victim blaming bullshit and acknowledging who the real criminals are at the same time. If the comment is unimportant to you just admit you were wrong and move on instead of making ridiculous arguments like this.

      Civil forfeiture covers bank accounts too, so your point is moot.
