    Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, sent a statement to the Guardian, saying the officer’s actions were “unacceptable and beneath the men and women of Ice”.

    According to local news outlet AMNY, the agent was seen last month forcibly pulling a teenage girl from her father’s arms as she cried. The outlet also noted that several court observers have raised concerns for months about his physical conduct.

    You sure that behavior isn’t acceptable, Tricia? Sounds like it was accepted for several months before now.

        Yup. They wanted to send children to Guatemala in the dead of the night, likely into slavery. We must never forget that these people are evil.
