the issue was already personal, pitting service against citizenship

For the record, no, it's pitting unconstitutional orders against sworn duty.

I don't want the military to decide any outcomes, but I do think just about time they let everyone involved know that the military's only loyalty is to the people and the constitution. Yes, they take orders from the president, but we have checks and balances for a reason, and I'd feel better if the military just stated plainly their primary goal is to keep it that way.

But on that morning in March, Guardado got a strange phone call at work. Some sort of public safety officer had dialed her office and wanted her to come outside to talk. In the parking lot, three men in plain clothes identified themselves as Department of Public Safety officers, Correa told The War Horse. As Shirly approached, they said her car had been involved in an accident. But when she got close, they grabbed her and handcuffed her, telling her they were ICE agents.

The fuck.

Anyone still think this is OK?

You know who you are, and if you think this is OK, then fuck you

Can't trust anyone.

Remember this, service men and women, when you are given your orders to oppress us.

You are also one of the oppressed.

Army Sgt. Ayssac Correa had just started his day at the 103rd Quartermaster Company outside of Houston on the morning of March 13 when he got a phone call from his sister-in-law.

She worked at the same company as Correa’s wife and had just pulled into the parking lot to see three ICE agents handcuffing her.

“They’re taking Shirly away!” she told him.

Imagine getting that call. We've definitely become evil.

Fascist dictators don't have loyalty, soldier. That's a key element to them.

“Me being in the military—I felt bad that it was happening, because I’m also married to somebody who’s going through the [immigration] process. But I was like, ‘Oh, there’s no way this is going to happen to us,’” he said.

That misconception is common, immigration attorneys and advocates told The War Horse. But in reality, there is no guaranteed path to citizenship for undocumented military family members—and no guaranteed protections against deportation.

Daughter: Daddy, why do you work for the people who kidnapped Mommy? Correa: I don’t, sweetheart. I’m in the Army. The Army doesn’t deport people. ICE does. Daughter: They both take orders from the president, though, right? Correa: well, yeah. Daughter: So, why do you work for the man who ordered ICE to kidnap Mommy? Correa: …

“Surely my king won’t deport my wife”

Nobody is safe.

And they have a baby only 10 months old!! My baby is a little bit older but still, can't imagine if something like that just came and split us, it would be very traumatic for everyone.

what does the military say to recruits that so thoroughly dupes them into thinking the government gives half a rat's ass about them?

Nobody is safe from the ~~Commander~~Leopard in Chief
