A federal judge in Oregon says he can no longer assume ICE agents are telling the truth in their arrest paperwork, declaring Monday that live testimony is now “necessary” after finding that warrantless arrests are still being made and facts are being “fabricated in official records” by immigration officers.
In a 50-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai ruled that ICE repeatedly violated an existing court order governing warrantless immigration arrests in the Beaver State, with inaccurate reports, missing records and accounts that did not match what actually happened.
The judge’s loss of confidence in the agency was so pronounced that he withdrew the usual presumption that government officials have properly performed their duties.
I’ve been saying ti for decades. In any questionable arrest, without bodycam footage corroborating their story, the LEO’s testimony is immediately thrown out. It seems anytime something goes wrong, people die unnecessarily, bodycams seem to conveniently malfunction, data is “corrupted” or somehow gets deleted.
And as I’ve been saying for at least a year now, the vast majority of shit ICE has been doing has been completely illegal.
They’re fabricating warrants.
Everyone who did that needs to never leave a prison; everyone who was convicted of some kind of resisting an unlawful ICE arrest needs to be pardoned, exonerated, compensated.
But yes, 100% agree with your idea as well. Stop pretending cops are better, or even as good as the average citizen.
Hold them to an actually higher standard, instead of a lower one.
It’s amazing how obvious this seems. I’ve heard this same sentiment for decades from all sorts of people. That cops and authority figures should be held to higher standards than the populace.
Right?
The entire rhetoric used around LEOs in the legal system is that they are “held to a higher standard”, but the incredibly obvious conclusion from a modicum of research into how the legal system treats LEOs is that they are given a bunch of privelege and preference and deference, thus, are held to a much lower standard… when we also just know how often they abuse those things, we have the data lol.
Its basically formal gaslighting?
Yeah this has never made any sense to me, its so obviously presented as the polar opposite of the actual reality.
It’s one of the many reasons why I’m kinda done with the concept of “The benefit of the doubt” when it comes to the area of government right now. The entire system is allergic to accountability, to the point that we can’t even make it priority when it’s obvious its sorely needed like with Jeffries/Schumer and Trump.
So tired of the whole thing that I’m ready to rebuild from better foundations.
Yep, the body cam footage is the cops testimony. If there’s no body cam, and the suspect says “I didn’t do it,” then he goes free. Nobody cares what the cops SAY, they’re lying.
You see, this is actually the fault of the now dead people. They immediately haunt the poor officials and their technology as ghosts.
/s just to make it clear, because internet.
