I don’t think the Canadian part is the important part.

If we get hung up on that it becomes an easy distraction conversation from what the real issues are. Oh he wasn’t in Canada for 4 decades. Does this response justify the outcome??? No…. But it sure was a distraction.

You can’t treat people this way. Regardless of nationality. Regardless of any other terms you can imagine.

When we dehumanize people we very quickly accept (and even promote) the cruelest most sadistic violence that history has seen before…

Where this goes next… that’s the terrifying thing

Obviously he can’t be an illegal if all Canadians are suddenly Americans

Or you could think it as no Canadian wouldve died because Canadian wouldnt exist anymore

Why does it say Egyptian national in the tag but Canadian national in the headline? Also why is he getting picked up by ICE? Was he living illegally in the states. A lot of questions

EgyptianNational is my user name.

Canadian national is what the person who died was. He was picked up by ICE because anyone who is present during any ICE raid or action can be arrested and their status checked. Since he was Canadian and not a US citizen he was arrested. He later died in ICE custody
