There are two sorts of folks. OK, there could also be many various kinds of folks, however there are at the least two.
First are these of us who stand for the concept: reside and let reside. We don’t intentionally step on ants, and we help the rights of the poorest folks within the Western Hemisphere to enter the USA to flee hunger and the specter of demise by the Mexican drug cartels to choose our crops and reside right here, for months at a time, to reside within the U.S.
Till Donald Trump rose to the U.S. presidency and gave us all permission to be our worst selves, just about all of us felt this fashion. Had been migrants an issue earlier than about 10 years in the past?
The opposite sort is these like Christian Castro, who takes (took, previous tense) nice enjoyment of tormenting essentially the most world’s poorest and most determined.
The story right here from the New York Instances:
Regulation enforcement officers on Friday arrested an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent accused of taking pictures a Venezuelan immigrant this yr and mendacity about it.
The agent, Christian J. Castro, 52, was caught in Texas after investigators from the Minnesota Bureau of Felony Apprehension tracked him down, in keeping with the Hennepin County legal professional’s workplace, which had charged him this month with 4 counts of second-degree assault. He faces a further cost of submitting a false police report.
The taking pictures, on Jan. 14, set off violent protests on the top of the Trump administration’s immigration operation in Minnesota this previous winter.
“Right now’s arrest is a vital step ahead in our prosecution of Mr. Castro,” Mary Moriarty, the legal professional in Hennepin County, which incorporates Minneapolis, stated in an announcement.
