Merwil Gutiérrez sent from New York to El Salvador prison although family says he has no criminal history or gang ties
A 19-year-old Venezuelan in New York City reportedly was apprehended by Trump administration immigration authorities and deported to El Salvador despite agents’ realizing he was not whom they meant to arrest in a targeted operation.
Merwil Gutiérrez, whose family opened an asylum case after arriving in the US, was deported from the Bronx to the notorious Cecot prison in El Salvador despite his relatives’ insistence that he has no gang ties or criminal history, according to Documented, a newsroom dedicated to telling the stories of immigrants in New York City. The Gutiérrez family says it has been left without information or answers.
The teen was detained alongside 237 other Venezuelans on 24 February by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice). His father, Wilmer Gutiérrez, told Documented: “I feel like my son was kidnapped.”
Not just that. He’s most likely going to die because some nazi piece of shit thought they might as well arrest him, because he’s brown. This is only the beginning, and it’s going to get a fuckload worse until they get the same treatment.
History repeats itself.
The fourth box of liberty must be opened.
You can’t assume the cop was a nazi, they were just following orders. Everyone has to follow orders in their job and are probably afraid of repercussions if they don’t follow through with their job after getting the orders mixed up by, for example, accidentally sent out the wrong plate of food, or an innocent teenager to an offshore death camp.
I just can’t. Are people here really this ignorant of history?? Is this satire?
Illegal orders are illegal.
I really didn’t think this needed a “/s” based on the sentence structure, but based on the votes I am again depressed by general reading comprehension.
These days you can’t tell, so many would post that with no irony.
Just following orders… the Concentration Camp guards all said the same during the Nuremberg trials. Most of them got hanged. Just FYI.
Then again the yank soldiers all said the same after the massacres in Vietnam and they all got off.
Of course, the situations are different. Nazi Germany had to be broken and the trials were conducted locally by the winners. Can’t just abduct high ranking military/politicians of foreign nations, that would set a bad precedent, and probably only work just exactly once. That’s why no-one is really giddy to arrest Putin or any of his boot lickers, too much unpredictable fallout, probably literal fallout.
You’re unaware of the international criminal court then.
The US is not a member of the Rome Statute, nor the ICJ. They’ve openly threatened those institutions with sanctions if they go after them or their citizens.
The ICJ/ICC are only for the powerless, fallen, disgraced. The big players just don’t follow those institutions’ orders, at best cherry-pick what to follow.
I’d say I’m well aware how this works.
That’s literally what Nazis said at trial and the court said fuck you if a dollar buys your morality you’re simply immoral.
I feel like not enough people read your entire comment and/or username.
I think no one cares at the moment dude, maybe just maybe now isn’t the time for goofin’. Im not doing research I’m simply going to take your word for what you are and move on.
Research, in this case, would have been reading the entirity of the comment. If that is too hard for everyone, I can see why we are in this mess.
The entirety of the comment doesn’t really change the fact you need to know it’s sarcasm and not an asshole. That said you could always be a sarcastic asshole and uhh…
…maybe that’s the case.
In Magastan, if you are a cop, you are a nazi. A good person doesn’t want to be a cop in that country. Even less if they want to become an ICE agent.
