    Spot on. They did this during slavery. They did this during the slaughter of Native Americans. They’re doing it right now. They dehumanize people to justify their slaughter and oppression.https://twitter.com/radleybalko/status/1000181860817829888 …

    It isn’t easy for a man to rip a screaming child away from his mother. Most of us couldn’t do it. This is where “animals” comes in. Declare he isn’t really a child, she isn’t a woman. Now it’s like pulling a piglet from a sow. This has always been how states enable savagery.

        I think about this all the time. How can anyone rip a child from their parent? The child will be crying and screaming. How can any human being ignore the cries of a child??

        The people were brought to the Slave House where the families were torn apart. Men and Women separated from each other, Children separated from adults. There they waited until the the Slave Ship was ready for "loading." #AbolishICE Slave House, Goree Island, Senegal Africa.pic.twitter.com/D6gnO5dNYl

        American government is no different from other dictatorship around the world. This is what the American government did during slave days and Jim Crowe.

        Each officer should be held accountable to Americans: they hide behind their title, but I say we out them. No more justifications, I want these men and women to look a reporter (and camera) in the eye and explain themselves. #NameICEagents

        Don't forget Japanese internment camps. America has been here before. Question is will we let it continue?

        Also the "catch and release" language turns people into fish, not humans.
