Becky Burke’s parents say her legs, waist and hands were secured by US immigration officers.
The biggest thing is the actual deportation numbers are less than Biden so far, so it’s really just fucking with people to make a statement because cruelty really is the point.
Cruelty for cruelty’s sake. And why don’t we skim a little profit on top?
This “country” is on my i-sure-as-fuck-will-never-visit-list for a looooong time now. This weird story wouldn’t have changed a thing in either direction though. Stupid clickbait.
Was hoping to read what triggered her being picked up by US authorities. Article doesn’t say until right at the end that she was turned away at the Canadian border … but doesn’t say why.
Well, it pretty much says it all when not even the BBC can give a halfway comprehensible reason. I mean, they still have at least certain journalistic standards. If no reason is given, the authorities just didn’t give one - the article says that they just wouldn’t discuss that. So it looks like pure arbitrariness to me, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that was the case with this regime. That’s what they do: They chicanery people and use all their power for their fascist ideology without caring about the law in the slightest.
These people lack any concept of what is decent or just because they are morally bankrupt.
