The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“In our country, you get illegally arrested by ICE, then you have to sue in federal court to get a bond hearing, to then pay money to get released from custody, and then pay money or rely on volunteers to fight your case that never should have been brought forward in the first place," he said. "It’s an unconstitutional merry-go-round.”

In the days after the arrests, the workers were scattered across New England detention cells. One woman was transferred to Texas. According to her attorneys, she was returned after they filed a lawsuit contesting her transfer.

Three other workers were granted bail Tuesday.

At Thursday’s hearing, lawyers for the Department of Homeland Security agreed the three workers did not pose any danger to the public. They still pushed to keep them in custody, arguing the women could be flight risks.

The lawyer for all nine workers, Todd Pomerleau, said they had family in the area. One worker is a mother to a young child who is a U.S. citizen, he said.

Pomerleau said Thursday's decision “speaks volumes” about serious problems with how ICE carried out the raid.

“Not one time did DHS argue that any of them are dangerous people, which contradicts the narrative that they’re criminal, illegal aliens,” Pomerleau said.
