Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

And what they are threatening her with has happened:

According to a family statement, the ICE agents pressured the younger siblings, 12 and 10, with questions and, without verifying her age, they handed the car keys to the older sister, leaving her and the children with two abandoned vehicles on the side of the road.

“Their 10-year-old son watched helplessly as his parents were taken away on his birthday — a day meant for joy, not fear,” the statement reads. “Moises Enciso and Constantina Ramírez do not have a criminal background. They are beloved parents and valuable members of the community.”

The article says the kids were not in the car and the time and left but also that the ice agents pressured them. I saw the video and im highly skeptical that the 10 and 12 year old somehow knew and got there real fast.
