Key excerpts:

The family had been staying with a relative in Los Angeles for the previous seven months after crossing the border legally for a court appointment through the now-defunct CBP One App to seek asylum in October of last year. They had been granted parole status in the U.S. while they waited for their day in immigration court.

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying," Mukherjee said. “The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours.”

The 6-year-old boy has been diagnosed with leukemia and has missed a medical appointment to be treated for worsening symptoms

The Texas Civil Rights Project says the family has been placed in expedited removal, which allows for rapid deportation without a court hearing. The family’s attorneys fear they could be deported before their lawsuit is heard.

      “Reason: advocating violence”

      I see no advocation for violence, just the truth about people who need to be removed from power.

      And I absolutely LOVE the implied “you can complain about all violence toward you but don’t you DARE even suggest doing the same thing that’s being done to you”

      Yes masters, we should all die quietly.

        Yeah OP said “removed,” which could mean “removed from power,” not “removed from the gene pool.” Not sure why that deserves to be removed.

        Huh, my post was removed? At what point did I advocate violence? Removed means just that, not killed not hurt. Removed does not in itself mean violence. What is this Reddit on steroids?
