This sends me to an incandescent rage against all these non-white naturalized citizens who think they are better than the migrants and went MAGA.

Many thanks to Adrian for the spotlight on MAGA Cruelty. This is what totalitarian states do to people. Find a scapegoat, make tem suffer, and pretend justice is served. As someone else said, we are in some deep s**t.

I’m sorry that I couldn’t finish reading this story, but I began feeling too much rage building within my soul. I cannot and will not allow the MAGA regime to poison me in this manner. Maybe I will be able to get my head on straight again later and be able to read this complete and important story. 🤬😢

I’m glad Congressman Menendez is on the case but how can we be so cruel? Someone has to execute these policies. Will there ever be accountability for the appalling and dangerous treatment so many people have endured. This isn’t high minded but I do believe in karma and especially in this case.

Read this piece about the group of immigrants that was just sent to DRC as a third country. I'm assuming it includes Ms. Zapata. It's awful.

Cruelty and lawlessness - wrapped in performative piety and hypocrisy - are the core values of Trumpism.

Many see the ICE abuse - and then there is the uninformed MAGA. If Congress doesn't stop ICE - these MAGA will not, They do not look for the truth, DUMB

For most MAGA, mass deportation is a top priority.

Adrian, It is a horrific story that begs the question, isn't everyone involved in this cruelty guilty of hate crimes or crimes against humanity? The case sounds well documented and hopefully when the time comes these people will be made to account for their sins. I pray that God protects this woman so she can see that day. The ultimate person overseeing this cruelty needs to be brought before Congress and interrogated on this specific case.

We can blame the RW Australian Govt for the third country deportations. The PM told trump about them and trump loved the idea. He called it “tough”. That’s high praise for him.

Is there a fundraiser for her? My god! Maybe a European country can take her, at least in the meantime? Wtf are we doing? So much cruelty and suffering.

Frau Katze's avatar

As a Canadian, maybe Canada would take her?

I live in Il. Ms zapata can come live in my house

I want to see a new bill where every single detention prison officer or worker must be vetted for employment. There absolutely en a background check started all over if they have one single incident of mistreatment again the whole thing shuts down. And all 70,000 ppl held must be let go now

This is MAGA’s most important project. 😡

Most Americans have a sense of fairness. Upon hearing this story, I believe they would want to help, not pile on.

Trump supporters do not fall into that category.
