In some places in the world, some people seem to get incredibly clumsy when they're near open windows. In others, they have very guilty consciences to the point of killing themselves.

\s for clarity

He was accused of accessing a device issued to another who did not authorize its use, conspiracy – accessing a device issued to another who did not authorize use, theft by deception—false impression, conspiracy—theft by deception, criminal use of a communication facility, and unlawful use of a computer—access to disrupt function.

Uhh are we sure a different agency didn't perhaps target him for arrest bc they thought he was a spy, and then murder him while in custody? This doesn't seem like run of the mill trumped up ice bullshit.

Not that they wouldn't torture and murder somebody, but this seems a bit more professional than I would expect CBP to pull off. Especially if it's true he didn't have any defensive marks.

Never really thought about how easy it might be to sprinkle in a few government trained assassins in the chaos of every new batch of rushed ice recruits. Like if you had already been keeping people on a DHS watchlist for decades beforehand, this could be an easy way to detain them without drawing attention.

An autopsy report seen by Newsweek showed Ge was found tied with a bedsheet, with linens around his wrists and ankles in what the report described as a "hog-tied" position. The medical examiner noted that there had been other reported incidents of people who had hung themselves having done something similar, and that there were no obvious defense wounds.

Other reports of people hog tying themselves? To commit suicide?

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 minute ago

Sounds like he was accused of using a stolen phone.

[–] tgirlschierke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 12 hours ago

Oh, a lynching.

US civil rights in its current state right now = near zero.

[–] BotsRuinedEverything@lemmy.world 29 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

So are we calling this a prison murder or a state sanctioned assassination?

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Are you tired of having to appear by zoom before a judge in the Hague every time you assassinate a suspected spy?

There's gotta be a better way!

Seriously though wtf is this bullshit? Did you see the fucking weird ass shit they're trying to pin on this guy?

Who the fuck "hog ties themselves?"

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Obviously it will be ruled as a suicide.

[–] TheMinister@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 hours ago

The insane part is, as stated in the article, even the family’s attorney is saying “how could you let someone get out of their cell, and tie three separate noses to hang themselves?”

What in the fuck, how is his not automatically determined to be foul play? NOT EVEN BY THE ATTONREY SUING THE DHS

[–] lando55@lemmy.zip 7 points 11 hours ago

Sprinkle some crack on him to be sure

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 hours ago

Fucking thugs.

ICE is a terrorist organization

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 hours ago

The American government has been terrorizing millions of innocent people for decades. This is the natural progression.

[–] anugeshtu@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe they should call themselves ICES

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I see you and I appreciate you.

Why is the media not questioning this?

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 50 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Because they're owned by the billionaires who support this

[–] plyth@feddit.org 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Why is there no billionaire who doesn't support this?

[–] avattar@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 50 minutes ago

No profit in being against it.

[–] TheMinister@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago

Dude even the family’s attorney said it was a suicide. How

If Trump doesn’t approve their mergers and acquisitions, they can’t maximize Shareholder Value.

Who will answer for these crimes?

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 hours ago

your first mistake was thinking someone will pay.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 60 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Does anyone have a list of all ICE detention facilities?

Not for any particular reason. Definitely not to see if anything can be done to free the victims.

Definitely not so that international efforts could help coordinate the rescue of the victims.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 23 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Speaking hypothetically, i think adresses of members would be more useful.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Problem I have with that, is that ICE personell can be replaced easier than ICE facilities.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

If a 4 goon squad kicks in a door and 2 or 3 come out alive after meeting a 12 gauge, eventually they’re gonna have to try a lot harder to recruit.

Problem is, that tipping point means immediate bloodshed all over. I honestly don’t know of any other way to beat a Nazi than with a bullet to the head.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Oh, there's a lot of ways to beat Nazis without bullets to the head. Bullets to major organs and vessels will do it. Fire is pretty effective, more so if you use thermite (I fucking love thermite). Carbon monoxide, compressed nitrogen, chlorine gas.

Rapid percussive force. Blood loss in general. A baseball bat. Hell the katana you've been saving for situations like this. Bows. Not crossbows, interestingly.

Yeah. Nazis are just squishy monsters with a crunchy interior.

Wow look at Newsweek calling an execution “found dead”

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 76 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

To be fair, they also said “with hands and feet tied.” They’re avoiding getting into legal hot water and all the readers know this smells like murder.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

"suspicious death at ice facility" would be fine.

And yet they are reporting this as "suicide", I suppose taking the ICE medical examiner's word as truth. That's some mighty bad journalism as far as I'm concerned.

TW: suicide???

An autopsy report seen by Newsweek showed Ge was found tied with a bedsheet, with linens around his wrists and ankles in what the report described as a "hog-tied" position. The medical examiner noted that there had been other reported incidents of people who had hung themselves having done something similar, and that there were no obvious defense wounds.

Am I missing something here? How does someone hogtie themselves and then hang themselves? How is this being considered a suicide? Am I on crazy pills?

[–] jdredbeard@lemmy.world 20 points 15 hours ago

It's the same sense that Epstein "committed suicide."

A lot of people seem to "commit suicide" who were inconvenient to this Admin
