00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:15.759
Hi, This is Christina and this is Estoria's Unknown, a

2
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.760
podcast where and this is Estoria's Unknown, a podcast where

3
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.839
we talk about Latin American history. Sometimes it's horrible and

4
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:25.760
deals with heavy topics like racism, corruption, and genocide, but

5
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.760
more than that, it's also about resistance, power and community.

6
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.359
And today, as you may have noticed, we don't have

7
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.399
our regular episode out. Carmen is working very hard on

8
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.320
Part four of the History of Border Patrol, but it's

9
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:44.240
very hard to work full time, read a bunch of books,

10
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.759
and write up these notes. Next week though for sure

11
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:50.079
we will have Part four up. There may even be

12
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.719
a Part five of this series of ours in the meantime. Though,

13
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.280
here's a little snippet of what we do over on

14
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.640
Patreon if you sign up to get a weekly episode

15
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.960
like this one, where we just go over what is happening,

16
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.400
mostly in the US, but sometimes all over the world,

17
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.239
and sometimes just a silly internet discourse, although lately it's

18
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.040
been heavier topics. This week we covered the escalating violence

19
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.599
of ice in Chicago. We talked a little bit about

20
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.599
the Portland Frog, something about Trompass saying he's not getting

21
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.040
into heaven. Things like that, and if you like what

22
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.719
you enjoy, feel free to head over to our Patreon.

23
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.040
The link is in the show notes. If we join again,

24
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.079
you get an episode like this one, but also you

25
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:38.640
help us financially, and you help us donate to organizations. Lately,

26
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.400
we've been donating to Clean car Wash Workers Center, and

27
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.519
organization that has been helping car wash workers who were

28
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.640
unable to leave their homes due to the increasing ice

29
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.040
rates in La County. As you know, ever since these

30
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:56.000
mass deportations began, the car washers in La County have

31
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.719
been targeted heavily and many are afraid to leave their homes.

32
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.599
And what Clean does is provide groceries to those that

33
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.959
cannot work because of what Ice is doing in the area.

34
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:11.599
You can also follow at car Washers that's car washer XS.

35
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.680
That's how it's spelled over on Instagram. But that's what

36
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:18.680
our donations have been going to lately. And otherwise, enjoy

37
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.039
this snippet of our bonus episode on Patreon, and again,

38
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.520
we'll be back next week with our normal episode.

39
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.800
Okay, and then in other news, oh about ice pointing

40
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.159
a weapon. It's like we knew, I think we knew

41
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.919
this was going to happen, but still the pictures are alarming,

42
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:45.039
and it's not new new, it's new at this scale. Yeah,

43
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.599
but they've done things like this before, but again not

44
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.319
at this level. But I'm talking about this picture and

45
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.879
I'll describe it for those that are Yeah, so we'll

46
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.759
put the picture up here. But this picture that we

47
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.840
are showing right now is from an article from the

48
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:06.280
Chicago Sun Times and a Border Patrol agent so the

49
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.520
patch says SRT and went. They keep putting shit on

50
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.439
their uniforms and I'm like, what are these what is that?

51
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.080
It's like a task force? What are these letters? Okay?

52
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.960
And I did look that up. I read that. Yeah,

53
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.960
oh okay. This looks like a young man, possibly a teen,

54
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.240
I'm not sure, but young adult, young adult, Yeah, young adult.

55
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.919
He has his hands up. They're pointing their giant fucking

56
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.840
weapon at him. Uh. There's another like young looking kid

57
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.479
behind them, who I'm wondering, what's going on there? This

58
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:44.919
kid in white usum, he's like yeah, in between them,

59
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.159
and yeah, there's just a bunch of them surrounding this

60
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:52.319
kid who clearly has nothingness in his hands. And I

61
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:56.280
did have the link. I have the link for the newspaper.

62
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:02.319
Where did it go there we go. So this happened

63
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.400
this Tuesday morning, Yeah, yesterday morning. So fans ram suv

64
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.879
after chase down residential street in Chicago and then they

65
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:16.199
tear gas a crowd. So the crash happened late Tuesday

66
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.519
morning near one hundred and fifth Street and Avenue North

67
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.879
in the East Side neighborhood. Two men being pursued were arrested,

68
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:27.360
and so were two bystanders. When the crash happened, dozens

69
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:31.240
of neighbors came out in protest, and so they tried

70
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.680
to lie about this crash. They caused the crash. They

71
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.439
lie about everything, just like the other women that they

72
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.639
shot into her car, and they lied that she pointed

73
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:44.680
a gun at them. She had a gun because she

74
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.120
was a gun owner, but she never pointed at them, No,

75
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:52.279
she never. It was still in its place. And then

76
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.680
since the inception of border patrol, like they've been doing

77
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.319
this just like no, yeah, as you would know if

78
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.920
you've listened to our yeah three parts that you've done

79
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.959
on this already, or if you've read you know, the

80
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.519
books that you use as your sources. But yeah, this

81
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.199
is again we're seeing it at a large scale. But

82
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.560
this is who they are. They are not suddenly bad.

83
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:22.680
They're not suddenly what's it called there, It's not because

84
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:29.040
they're suddenly. This is who they have been. Use their inception, right.

85
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:34.920
They were created with racism and violence in mind, because

86
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.360
these were Texas white men who worked as Texas rangers,

87
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.120
most of them beforehand. And even if they didn't, they

88
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.800
grew up in this environment where it was normal to

89
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:47.279
throw rocks at Mexican kids, to beat up Mexicans. And

90
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:52.639
so this racism, this otherness, this dehumanization is embedded in

91
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.319
them since the beginning, and they passed on this tradition

92
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.920
of violence over the years, and they have never had

93
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:06.000
what's the word oversight. They've never been held accountable. They

94
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:10.000
have been allowed to be this way with impunity. And

95
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.040
that is why things are the way that they are now. Yeah,

96
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.480
as in the scene, but worse, the worse, Yeah, because

97
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:23.240
this type of thing, it only gets worse until it's unchopped. Power, Yeah,

98
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:27.839
just grows and grows. Right. Yeah, But more about this incident.

99
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:32.240
I'm just gonna read this article really quick. So, federal

100
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.920
agents chased a car through residential Yes, federal agents chased

101
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.720
a car through a residential neighborhood on the southeast side

102
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.160
of Chicago Tuesday morning. It was around eleven am. And

103
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.800
then they intentionally crashed into the car and a risky

104
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:51.000
maneuver restricted by police some police departments nationwide, they don't.

105
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:53.160
They are like, police departments are not allowed to do this,

106
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:54.120
but Bord Patrol is do.

107
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:54.399
We din't.

108
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.519
Well, the police wishes they could do what Bor Patrol's doing,

109
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:03.279
you know, exactly exactly. Local security cameras caught this maneuver,

110
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.319
which showed the car being hit by the Federal the

111
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.959
Fed's vehicle, leading the occupants of the car to fall

112
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.439
out while it was moving, so they ramed into it

113
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.759
to tip it over. The occupants then fled on foot

114
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.079
as agents ran behind. The commotion attracted and of course

115
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.279
they in their report said they were responding to a

116
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.240
crash and they were not. They caused the crowd. They yeah,

117
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:31.319
they were the crash. They were right. So this commotion

118
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.519
caused a crowd of neighborhood onlookers to come and they

119
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:39.959
began to protest, and immediately they were met with smoke grenades,

120
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:45.399
they were shot with pepper balls, and they were shot

121
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:50.920
with at least three rounds of tear gas. Four protesters

122
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:58.120
were detained and they hit a teenage girl in the

123
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:02.079
head with a tear gas canister. Not clear if that

124
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.759
was intentional or if that just happened when they fired

125
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:10.319
off the canister. And yeah, this is just the latest

126
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:14.199
incident of violent violent tactics that they have been utilizing

127
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.879
and speaking of violence against uh uh huh children on

128
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.240
the hands of Ice and Border Patrol. Have you heard

129
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.759
that there's a thirteen year old being entertained in ICE

130
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:30.000
detention center for like a few days. I saw that

131
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:34.399
there was an autistic like middle schooler that had been

132
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.120
taken by Ice. This the same one. I'm not sure

133
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:42.039
I remember reading that he had autism. I'm looking at up. Okay,

134
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:47.440
Chicago police tried to control the situation of protesters versus

135
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:53.720
Border patrol basically, and they were also tear guest. Oh yeah,

136
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.679
the two we saw in the picture, it was a

137
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.200
fifteen year old and a nineteen year old. Okay, that's

138
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.679
what I thought. They look so young. So I just

139
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:06.279
looked up and this is from CNN. But yeah, this

140
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:11.360
was in Boston and the mom said her thirteen year

141
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:14.480
old son had been arrested. Oh no, sorry, not Boston ever,

142
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:19.320
in Massachusetts, which is a suburb suburb of Boston. But

143
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.320
she said that the police station called her and said

144
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.960
that her son had been arrested and that she could

145
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:28.799
come pick him up. But then she got there and

146
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.360
waited over an hour, and then a police officer informed

147
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:36.080
her that I came to take him away. And I'm like,

148
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.000
how are they allowed to take children away without notifying

149
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.799
their parents even interview them. You can't interview a child

150
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.240
about their legal status. They're just doing things like it

151
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.000
didn't matter anymore what's what's allowed and not allowed. And

152
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.080
so they're from Brazil, this family, and they have been

153
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:55.919
pending an asylum application since twenty twenty one. See, and

154
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.840
when these things are pending, you're supposed to just be

155
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:03.639
here until your case moves forward, either denied or approved.

156
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.720
You just say, like, you can't be any action being

157
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:10.759
taken against you. Yeah, yeah, you can't be degrationion wise, right,

158
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:15.360
But they're just that's taking any laws at all speaking

159
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:17.519
of though. So the fifteen year old and nineteen year

160
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.320
olds are in the picture. They were slammed to the ground, handcuffed.

161
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.399
One of them was like saying, my neck, my neck,

162
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.399
because they just kept like pushing on. Was this were

163
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:28.320
these o their necks.

164
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:29.320
Boys.

165
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:32.799
Yes, okay, they just did another girl that they also

166
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:35.480
stepped on her neck and they're like doing that. They

167
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:40.000
you know who taught them that? The ideaf. Yeah, that's

168
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:44.120
where they get their training and they learned this tactic.

169
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.159
But the fifteen year old, his mom rushed out from

170
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.320
the house to figure out what happened, and they had

171
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:54.799
already taken both of them. She said, quote they took

172
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:57.519
my son. He was violated. They slammed him to the ground.

173
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:01.559
I just want my baby back. And it turns out

174
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.120
that they had been in custody several hours and were

175
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:09.200
released without six year old is Hispanic and African American,

176
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.559
and he was held in the garage for five hours

177
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.840
without being able to inform his family. No charges were stated,

178
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.200
No one allowed him to call an attorney. He is

179
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:21.399
a US citizen. As this is an entire immediate family. Wow,

180
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.279
And this is the thing they don't they don't care.

181
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.320
And also the thing is too like they're the border

182
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.879
Patrol and ICE, which were in the same essentially and

183
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:39.279
like as a country, obviously people have always opposed Borbatral

184
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:44.679
and ICE and unjust immigration policies, but as a nation,

185
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:50.600
we have allowed the bor Patrol and ice to mystery, abuse, rape, harm,

186
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.919
kill migrants, and when it's not directly, we have a

187
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:59.000
lot of them to create such I don't know, blockades

188
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:00.639
if you want to call it that at the border

189
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.879
that migrants have been forced to go further and further out,

190
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:06.960
like in in their routes into the country where they die.

191
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.399
They die in the desert, they die in the water,

192
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.519
they die of dehydration. And we have allowed them to

193
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:21.000
treat immigrants this way and now it's it's extended citizens. Yeah,

194
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.200
because we allowed other people what happened, we saw that

195
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.720
were better than and more value, are more value than

196
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.240
to be treated like this. And then now like this

197
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:31.799
is why it doesn't it doesn't like like it's not

198
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.679
worthing would they treat how would they treat their most

199
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:42.399
vulnerable n I hate that word vulnerable. So, uh, migrant communities,

200
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:48.120
working class prisoners, black people, yes, like and yeah, it's

201
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.440
exactly like you're saying, like this has been going on

202
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.120
for decades on a specific group and now that's being

203
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.080
extended and and right now it's still just being extended

204
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.960
towards people that look like me and you. Yeah, but

205
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.559
soon enough that it's going to change. Well, they already

206
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:10.039
attacked a black community, which we didn't. I don't think

207
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.279
we talked to them, or we talked about it briefly.

208
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.919
And of course there are also black migrants, right, yes,

209
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:21.320
and black Latinos, but as a whole. Right people think

210
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:24.080
of immigrants as Latinos and they don't think of black

211
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.200
people as Latinos, but we know that's not true. But

212
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:33.759
they basically they came down from helicopters and I don't

213
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.559
know what the word is, repelled into apartment building that

214
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:42.519
is mostly of black people live in and it was

215
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:45.240
in the middle of a night. They broke in through windows.

216
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:49.919
They uh forced the people out of their apartments. They

217
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.919
zip tied everybody, including children. They didn't allow children to

218
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:57.840
dress up, and weather perfect closed. It was freezing that night.

219
00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.360
Well I don't know if like literally freezing, but it

220
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.840
was cold. They were naked. They took them out there

221
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.960
like naked, is what I've heard. This happened in October third,

222
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.399
I want to say, And last week I think I

223
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.879
saw that there's still some missing children from this, from

224
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:14.960
that raid or whatever you know they're calling it. Yeah,

225
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.080
adults and children alike were pulled from their Chicago apartments,

226
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.799
crying and screaming during a large overnight raid that has

227
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:26.279
left tenants and neighbor neighbors shaken. Someone that lives there.

228
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:29.320
This is from CNN said quote, I've been on military

229
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:31.879
basis for a good portion of my life, and the

230
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:37.440
activity I saw it was an invasion essentially. Yeah, and

231
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:42.000
you know who also sat the idef to Palestinian homes

232
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:47.720
because they just steal homes from Palestinians. But I saw

233
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:52.879
an interview of an older black gentleman who talked about this.

234
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.519
I actually don't know if it was there or it

235
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:59.200
was another It might have been there, but he so

236
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:01.679
he was talking about he was going he earlier that day,

237
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:04.879
he had gone down to like the public assistant office,

238
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.919
and so he had his bag already, like cause you know,

239
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.039
you need to take usually your birth certificate or whatever

240
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.679
social you know, to go apply for these things. So

241
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:15.600
he had everything in his bag already, right, and they

242
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:17.600
didn't let he was saying, I'm a citizen, I'm a

243
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:19.799
sitting and they didn't let him, yeah, any of his stuff.

244
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:21.759
They didn't let him prove your citizenship. And thus the

245
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:24.200
people don't realize you think you're safe because you're a citizen,

246
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.519
But how do you prove you're a citizen? And this

247
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:31.039
is the thing they're saying, like the authorities are saying, Oh, well,

248
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:32.600
it's not a big deal if you're detained for a

249
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:35.879
few hours, but it's traumatic. The Supreme Court said that

250
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.159
that's a pre Yeah, right, the Supreme Court said that,

251
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:42.080
but it's a traumatic experience. Like these people were almost

252
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:44.639
all of them were you are citizens? Again, it was

253
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:51.480
a like majorly black apartment complex and yeah, it's still

254
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.000
like it does matter if you're detained for hours on

255
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.120
end without knowing what's going to happen, but not to

256
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:01.799
the Supreme Court. And I laughed because I'm crying inside

257
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:06.759
hung again. Yeah, but this apartment complex was supposedly targeted

258
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:11.720
because it was a known Tragua hangout spot. But like

259
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.279
only some of the detainees they got from this little

260
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.519
operation of theirs. Some of them were Venezuelan, but others

261
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:21.879
were and that doesn't equate to being a Trendragua member, no,

262
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.279
But there was also people from Mexico, Nigeria and Colombia

263
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.399
of course, so they detained and I don't know where

264
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:35.600
they send them, but thirty seven undocumented people from this raid.

265
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:40.440
But again, the whole apartment complex was in zip ties

266
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:45.559
for hours. Kids were crying, people were screaming. There was

267
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.799
a story I saw from this incident of a man

268
00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:56.200
whose neighbor and her daughter. Whose neighbor and her daughter

269
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:00.120
knocked on his door and asked if he would hide them,

270
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.159
and he hit them for three days in his in

271
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:12.000
his room, and I like, I don't know what the fuck, Like,

272
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:20.880
what the fuck is this? You know? Yeah, it's truly infuriating, No,

273
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:25.400
it is, to say the least. Also really quick, I

274
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.759
want to go back to the thirteen year old boy

275
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:31.640
that was detained by ICE after being arrested. So I

276
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:33.880
guess he was rested after an incident at school where

277
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.920
he threatened another boy and he had a knife, and

278
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:39.559
Ice is saying that he also had a gun, and

279
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:41.799
the school is like, no, he didn't have a gun.

280
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:45.400
They just make shit up and they're like, this is

281
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.599
a violent no, blah blah blah, this is a thirteen

282
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:53.480
year old boy, Like, shut up, shut the fuck up.

283
00:17:53.880 --> 00:18:00.119
That's crazy, that's crazy. I just I'm I'm tired. And

284
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:02.000
the police came out and said there was no gun too.

285
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.640
Oh my god, like they're just like they're literally lying.

286
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:12.559
Some portion of the population of this fucking country is

287
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:15.079
eating every word like fucking I don't know, because they

288
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.480
get horny off of see violence. No, I truly believe

289
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:21.720
saying them every time you say it, it doesn't get

290
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:28.200
any I'm not used to it. They fiend to see

291
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:33.319
violence against uh, people of color, against women, against anyone

292
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.519
who is not like them. They are like fiend for

293
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:39.160
this shit. Uh, they are horny for it, like they're

294
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:43.920
discussing people. Yeah, and that's why too. This administration is

295
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:48.799
so like uh so on social media with their AI

296
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:53.240
slab within their lines because they're feeding into this group

297
00:18:53.279 --> 00:19:01.200
of people. They're horny fans. Yep, it's exhausting. Did you

298
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:03.759
want to talk about the Portland Frog? In Portland, the

299
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:06.720
situation has not there has been violence. We talked about

300
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:11.119
in the last episode a little bit about the Portland situation,

301
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:13.720
But I guess if we didn't talk about the other

302
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:16.759
thing going on in Portland is that people are wearing

303
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:22.680
inflatable costumes. Yeah, that has been Some people have been like,

304
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.200
oh my god, this is so dumb. Yeah. Other people

305
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:30.359
are like whatever, Like okay, so I'm in the well

306
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.920
What is your opinion of the frog suit. I mean

307
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:38.519
I don't. I don't think I have like a strong

308
00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:43.960
like opinion about it. Yeah, I think he's out there protesting.

309
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.359
They're out there protesting. I don't see because the frog

310
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:50.799
has multiplied, there's a more frogs, and there's also others.

311
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:54.319
I've seen other animals. Yeah, animals. There's a whole farm

312
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:56.920
out there. It's it's silly. Yeah, but Portland is weird

313
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:00.440
and silly, and they're not getting the weird. They don't

314
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.160
want to be the weirdest right there. They've embraced the

315
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.240
weird allegations. Yeah, but we're like cool now, we're like

316
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:10.680
fucking weirdos, you know. No, no, no, And I don't. I

317
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:12.799
haven't seen any of these people be like, oh everyone

318
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:15.680
should be doing this, everyone should be protesting now violently

319
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.119
in this manner like, so I know that's what people

320
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:21.359
are saying, like, oh, like this is stupid, this is

321
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.799
gonna get you killed, this and that. Yeah, I'm in

322
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:26.119
the camp of like I personally would not do it

323
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:28.160
because it seems so dangerous because how are you gonna

324
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:30.319
run away in that? Yeah, That's where I'm at, Like

325
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:31.680
I wouldn't do it. But I'm not going to be

326
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:33.240
like out here like, oh, this is the dumbest shit

327
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:35.839
you could be doing. Yeah. But the other the optics

328
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:39.079
that it's creating, I kind of am here for, like,

329
00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:43.880
get the optics of like these big fat Like when

330
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:46.640
that dumb bitch Christina went over there to her little

331
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:51.759
her little propaganda video with some right wing streamer or

332
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:56.319
something influence. Yeah who was following which streamers? Yeah, following

333
00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:58.880
her around and they're doing these little propaganda videos together,

334
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:01.359
and she's like, this is dangerous place. Look at this,

335
00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:03.480
Look at this down here, look at this wuar zone.

336
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:05.119
And then there's like someone in a host and a

337
00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:07.279
fucking suit, like in a fucking animal suit down there,

338
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:10.519
like humping the air. And it's like yeah, so that

339
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.720
the optics that that it's creating is ideal. Yeah, it's

340
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:16.799
a good thing, I think, because it's like, Okay, how

341
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:19.680
do you look as this, How does the square in

342
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:24.319
this yeah, in this camo uniform, all these guns pointing

343
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:27.480
at frogs? Yeah, like what does that look like? It

344
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:31.000
looks bad? So I think that part of it. Honestly,

345
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:36.039
I hope that they can stay safe because again, they

346
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:39.400
put pepper spray into they like literally he was just

347
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:43.079
standing there and one officer his little breathing hole or

348
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:44.960
whatever they're called that. I'm not sure what it called.

349
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.720
It's a little fan hole, like it wouldn't spray to that. Yeah,

350
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:51.920
And then later he was recorded and then they were like,

351
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:53.559
how did that feel? He was like, yeah, a cop

352
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:55.319
or they did that. But you know what, it doesn't

353
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:57.440
matter because I'm Mexican and I like spicy things. Is

354
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:00.240
what the frogs? Yeah, the og frog is my I

355
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.279
didn't expect the ogi frog honestly to be a Mexican

356
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:05.319
and I'm kind of glady. It was a little white

357
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:08.799
people antics. Yeah, it's giving white, but I guess that's

358
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.480
what Parla and Mexicans are like. Yeah, everyone's a little

359
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:17.480
bit white, I think in some way. But yeah, so

360
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:20.119
I don't know. Power to the frogs and the other

361
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:24.279
farm animals that are joining the cause. We'll see how

362
00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:27.319
that goes. I haven't seen any other like terrible updates

363
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:31.599
about like escalating violence and Parland know me there, so well,

364
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:35.880
we'll see. I did see someone be like, oh Portland

365
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:39.079
has the inflatable costumes, so Seattle bring the furries, and

366
00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:43.839
I'm like, those cosmes are very expensive fury freeze. Yeah,

367
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:48.039
the furry costumes, I I don't know about that. I

368
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:50.119
would not. I don't know who would want to risk

369
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:53.359
their expensive ass costume to go out there and be

370
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.400
attacked and pepper spe like maybe someone will, but I

371
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:02.359
don't know. It's the inflatable costumes are cheaper. M So wow.

372
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:06.559
I do advise against the furries to do it, not

373
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:10.640
because I'm against furries. I don't get it, but they

374
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:15.200
like it whatever. Yeah, but I'm worried about the expense there, right,

375
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:17.119
I think that makes sense because yeah, it's not like

376
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:19.799
a twenty thirty dollars. I don't know how much the

377
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:21.920
inflatable consoms are either, because I've never some of them

378
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:24.039
are like thirty to fifty bucks. That's still kind of

379
00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:26.400
a lot to be worrying about. No, it is, it is.

380
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:33.240
I'm a fan. No, not the frog and the animals. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

381
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:35.440
I don't know. There's just so much violence going on too,

382
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:38.039
like that pastor priest that was shot in the head

383
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:41.359
and then they that was in the head with like

384
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:46.400
a bullet. Yeah, but and still obviously that's painful and dangerous. Still,

385
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.480
but yeah, there's there's just too much Going on Yeah
