Why are New Zealanders being detained?
Loads of people have been "detained" simply for having anything resembling anti trump sentiment on their personal electronic devices. People from many different countries.
Don't travel to 'murica. It's a fascist dictatorship and you do not have rights regardless of your skin color or where your passport is from.
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume its predominantly Maori being detained. Because they're brown.
Nope. White fuckeras everywhere. Same as the aussies
the US can't even claim their usual racist shitfuckery, they're just goddamn insane
Canadians too.
@Glitterbomb @Dogyote They’re detaining absolutely anybody they think might not be partial to the regime. They demand you make your social media pages public so they can see if you posted anything critical, they’ve sent people back for things as simple as memes. Plenty of the people they’re sending back are their exact racial preference because *the chance to exercise power* is the draw to this sort of work (though that often goes hand in hand with racism, when overreach must be more selective.)
Which part of ICE=lunatic racist clueless lawless unaccountable goon squad personal trump army did you miss?
I'm guessing it's because of their cool accents and off the wall sense of humor
