If HPD seems to think that the immigrant community is ignorant of what they are doing, they are sorely mistaken. Whitmire and his policy have made Houston much more dangerous for us. People who would normally call in crimes will not do so, especially if their freedom is at risk or the risk of being separated from their families here.
I am not surprised that the Hispanic leadership here in Houston has not criticized him. Too many of them owe their political careers to him. Before running for office, almost without exception, they went to kiss the Don’s ring.
Calling HPD to report a crime can result in a person who is undocumented being detained while ICE comes to pick him or her up.
Operation Wetback, did not work the way two leading organization pushing for Mexican-Americans thought it would.
The killings by ICE have been going on for a long time, how many others have they covered up?
Nearly 100 people signed up to speaker on ICE to let the mayor and city council that they are not happy with them bending their knees to the Greg Abbotts and Donald Trumps of this world.
Executing citizens, kidnapping of citizens, torturing of citizens, breaking into homes without warrants, and countless other crimes that normally would result in arrests of the Trump Gestapo would not be popular? Certainly not the clowns that Trump has surrounded himself with.
The Latinx Leaders need backbones to stand up and represent their community.
I don’t think people realize it’s a Pete Wilson moment unfolding; it could turn Texas Blue for a long time.
officers beat up Samuel, a detained teenager who uses a pseudonym, so badly, he had to go to the hospital. His right front tooth broke, and he said one officer “grabbed my testicles and firmly crushed them,” while another “forced his fingers deep into my ears.” He added that weeks after the beating, damage to his left ear was so severe that he now has trouble hearing.
Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos is presently being held here in Texas with the full blessing of Greg Abbott. He was used as bait by ICE to get his parents to come out of the house. That is what children are to Greg Abbott and ICE: bait.
The boys name is Conejo Ramos, he and his father are now in a torture detention center in Texas. Texas is the only state that has places to incarcarate young children like Conojo Ramos.
Our country is no longer safe to visit, citizens have to carry proof of citizenship and even then there is no guarantee that you won’t be shot by Trump’s Gestapo.
Years to get undocumented to trust HPD, destroyed because John Whitmire lied to the public.
Harris County the land of ballless Latino politicians.
