*10th count of interstate human trafficking sanctioned and committed by the criminal government of fascist-occupied Texas
This is just a repeat of the "Reverse Freedom Rides," and nothing happened then either. You really expect a sitting governor to be convicted of interstate human trafficking and/or child trafficking? The Catholic Church trafficked hundreds of thousands of children and didn't even get a slap on the wrist!
Nope. As usual, I have no expectation of the rich and powerful being held responsible for their actions in the US, but that doesn't mean that I can't point it out.
Technically I believe each person counts as a single human trafficking charge. If someone had balls they’d bring up 200+ suits against him for it. I’m sure some civil rights attorney would love it
Sounds like it would be right up the alley of the ACLU tbh
Why are they not charging Abbott with kidnapping? This is clearly kidnapping.
because the conservatives currently in charge of the federal government dont want to 'make waves' by actually affecting any change.
im sorry, i wanted to say democrats, but lets be real. current democrats are nothing but yesterdays conservatives.
biden could literally put the DOJ on this, and make arrests, but he wont. because he is a Conservative democrat.
No. It is not a good idea for the President to direct the DoJ to prosecute his political rivals.
Throw a fucking fit all you want, pretend Democrats are conservatives all you want. But eliminating the independence of the justice system and demanding it prioritize political opponents of the regime is corrupt shit.
Joe Biden is doing the right thing by not demanding the DoJ prosecute. I'm not even sure what law he would use, unless the migrants were lured under false pretenses. Handing someone a bus ticket isn't human trafficking or illegal in and of itself, and governors have wide legal immunity against criminal prosecution for their actions.
I filed a police report against them and got taken down by 2 dozen cops who shut down three square blocks to do so and ransacked my place. Spent two days in solitary before seeing a judge who, none the wiser of what LAPD had done, wiped my entire criminal record clean. LA cops, lawyers, and more were dog whistling their support, informing about new surveillance intricacies and how to proceed without raising alarms. They didn't want to, but said they had to follow up to satisfy the little Hitlers.
Garland's new policy on political threats, I think, is a major blow to conservatives, because they are more prone to self incrimination, impulsive escalation, and emotional reasoning. The fact it's now a felony is a big deal; they are being brought to heel; it's realpolitiks and I'm here for it. I know a man in New York got pinched yesterday for threatening MTG, but people with no priors used to be really powerful. Now, not so much.
Abbott and Desantis are cutting off the nose to spite the face and each stunt is just another truckload of evidence--sometimes literally. Tying the misleading brochures to the leaders is critical. Conservatives also are unaware of how far reaching digital forensics can be. If you think the repudiation of fascism will end with the downfall of MAGA, you've got another thing coming. And it's going to look a lot like Nuremberg.
Is this some kind of copypasta? I'm all for accountability but this sounds... excessive and dramatic.

For it to be kidnapping it'd have to be against their will. Since they're illegally in the country, it's human trafficking, but unlikely to be kidnapping.
The decision, since they were already caught, is either "you're being deported to Mexico" or "you can go to LA, a sanctuary city where you can not be deported"
Again, it's human trafficking for sure... But without more information it's tough to say kidnapping.
Moral of the Story: OP says it's not kidnapping if you trick the kid into believing there's candy in the van and you rape them out of state. It's just human trafficking because--since they're illegal (we'll ignore diplomatic asylum or the fact that these were refugees or their unaware children, since I can tell things get complicated for you fast) they have forfeited their basic human rights and now we get to play with them and their bodies AS MUCH AS WE WANT.
Google "asylum seeker's brochure" and read any of the multiple examples of falsified documents provided to the victims. If they were delivered anywhere WITHOUT the services promised by DeSantis and Abbott, they were kidnapped.
If you got on a Greyhound that said "This Way to Apply for Universal Income! 500$ signing bonus!" on the front and it dropped you off outside the gates of a mansion belonging to a politician you're not even aware of at 2am in the cold, you'd feel and be pretty fucking kidnapped.
Yeah the pearl clutching is hilarious. It doesn't really make sense for the states not directly affected by illegal immigration to force the states against it to accept and house them. Between the only two options (back to Mexico or free bus ride to a sanctuary city), this seems like the better of the two options.
Shit, it's not like California isn't the best place out of the three options. No immigrants want to go to Texas where they know they'll be hated, they just want to leave Mexico.
Time to collect the abortion bounty from Texas by claiming these migrants were seeking an abortion in California. Have everyone sue governor Abbott for this.
On that note I can recommend this podcast episode of Déjà News:
As conservative governors try to score political points by depositing busloads and planeloads of migrants in liberal cities, it can seem like an unprecedented exercise in cruelty. But it’s a page ripped from an earlier playbook in U.S. politics, one that was forgotten for decades for a very good reason. Rachel Maddow and Isaac-Davy Aronson revisit the racist Reverse Freedom Rides of the 1960s.
History goes in circles…
those poor people in texas cant even take care of their own humans, they have to ship them around?
how can we help this obviously bankrupt, destitute state?
The American Way: invade and instill some new democracy?
I hear they have oil.
32.7 billion in their slush fund fron stealing from schools using recapture. Not poor at all, just fucking corrupt as can be.
These aren't "our humans" dipshit.
These aren’t “our humans” dipshit.
@Texas_HangoverHey, you actually recognize them as human, so that's a start. There's hope for you yet, buddy!
I'm glad the migrants have a safe place to go
