    Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.

    She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression

    Oh, hell no. They tortured this guy. What. The. Fuck.

        Literally that. This is why when you meet a republican voter in real life they deserve nothing but shame and shit talk. Don’t interact in any other way and they’ll fucking get it eventually or they’ll do us all a favor and kill themselves. Wasted of oxygen

          I’ve been saying it for nearly a decade, conservatives and Christians as a whole respond only to shame. If you want them to change you need to shame them for their terrible choices and ideas. It needs to be relentless it needs to be continuous. Like a child you just caught smearing shit on a wall.

    To everyone outside that shithole of a country: for the love of fuck stop visiting the US unless you have a reason. Its clear border security can do whatever the fuck they want with impunity. It isnt worth the risk. Let the country rot and leave them.

        Wonder if he had a gun and shot them on being illegally detained there would be a case for him? Cause it’s starting to seem that green card holders should only travel with guns if possible in case they get abducted by overzealous morons in immigration. If immigration agents got shot for trying to abduct people they’d think fucking twice (if they had any brain cells in the first place)

    Welcome to America: where we can torture you first, before it’s determined illegal (and even then, barely or no repercussions).
