Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Wtf
Wtf?!
Sounds like they abducted him and murdered him and then dumped his body and they're not even trying to hide it.
By their Persian-sounding names, I'm assuming they're Afghani. It seems like this is one of the families the US brought out to protect them from the Taliban. People who worked with the US forces while they were there.
But his name was Mohamed. So clearly that's why ICE did this to him.
At least his brother has more self-awareness than most maga idiots whose family members get taken away or killed. This is the first time I remember reading anyone who voted for trump saying "I'll regret my vote for the rest of my life."

You are correct, he served along side Americans starting in 2005 and was legally relocated here. He was legal to be in the country until 2029, but ICE officials refused to look at his documentation.
The ice.gov site also slanders his name calling him a felon, but when NPR ran his background check it came up clean.
Father of 6, healthy 41 yo male with no PMH. Suddenly dies of what sounds like a poisoning shortly after being in ICE custody.
God damn, this makes me so mad
Welcome to America, where the rules are made up and your death doesn't matter.
They cold-bloodedly execute citizens whose families have been here for generations, in front of dozens of witnesses, and on camera and nothing happens to them.
A citizen s life is worth less to them the the cost of the ammo they use, they don't even view immigrants as people.
It's not about viewing as people or not, they don't view them as equals, or deserving, but of the enemy, and that includes the good's and pretti's.
They are all worked up about those that oppose them, have total backing to abuse those people, and next to nothing to fear of reprisals from the states they operate in much less the fed government.
How much does minneapolis suck that they haven't put out warrants for pretti and good's killers? It's on fucking video, and the shooters are identified. You don't need fed information cooperation. And you fucking knew this was going to happen, or should have.
We need all new leadership.
How is that any different?
To them, we are all Indians.
Exactly, wtf. How did this guy die?
I'm guessing the Meal Team 6 highschool dropouts didn't like having an actual service member in their midst, and executed him.
Exterminated by the mobile extermination team and dumped on the street.
I think it's likely the guy got mouthy, his brother is in the armed forces, actually believing these Chuds give a shit about veterans, they don't and never have. It's cynical posturing on their part and while we know they've fucked EVERY group of vets to the best of their ability, despite maybe the WWII ones, (only because WWII vets were too numerous and powerful after the new deal and war.)
So the Ice or whomever beat him to death or whatever. Same shit. Never get mouthy with cops, sadly it never works out well, at best you walk away as you would if you kept your mouth shut. There are ways of fighting an unjust system, mouthing off to security services with near complete control over your life and death with little consequence to themselves, is not one of them.
he wasnt white apparently

This is one of the original World War II killing of Soviet civilians accused of being partisans on the Eastern Front by a German firing squad, September 1941 photographs taken, that the US Military archived. I captioned the image in Arabic styled in the meme format “First Time?” I am blatantly mocking armed US Special Forces that went to Operation Enduring Freedom to genocide being bilinguals.اثنان في الذهن، وواحد في الصلاة
....why is there a parking lot inside a hospital?
Typo or underground parking garage.
