Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
Thank you for your service and fighting the Trump fascists. Sue the hell out of the Maga government. Nothing short of a national strike and total resistance and accountability for these crimes will stop this traitorous coup.
This is beyond the pale for several reasons. ICE has no jurisdiction over citizens. Second, if they are in hindsight making allegations or charges, then by law, this citizen has civil rights and needed to be charged. That did not happen.
This can't happen in this country. The only thing that stands between us and being a banana republic is the Constitution and clearly his civil rights were violated. Reporting the federal government TO the federal government is not good enough. I would be so angry at this point, I would want to do some real damage. Sir, I thank you for your service to this country who pays you back like this. You deserve much better.
Your story is appalling and sadly one of many this is happening to. Your voice, position and actions would be important to someone in a high, respected position like Gavin Newson since this happened in California. Even a short interview with someone like Aaron Parnas would serve many in this anti-American action. Reach out to them. Elections are coming up, and immigration is a huge issue along with the economy and gun violence.
Thank you for telling your story and being part of the fight to take our country back. What happened to you is disgraceful. I'm very sorry that you experienced it.
George, what happened to you is wrong - plain and simple. I have never heard anyone explain why local law enforcement does not intervene and protect citizens. That is their job. Apparently this regime cares about no one or the law. I am sorry you had to experience this.
Thank you for telling the world about this brutal dictatorship. I am so sorry this happened 🥺

I'm a veteran, as well. This is abhorrent, to put it mildly. Keep shouting it from the roof tops!
This guy is a hero. Thank you for fighting back.
This bullshit is up there with Japanese internment when it comes to the level of embarrassment it causes for American

This is so heinous and widespread. Thank you for your important voice.
The ACLU would be interested in hearing about this. Sorry it happened.
You are right!
This is outrageous. I’m glad you’ve filed a claim. Please keep us posted,
I hope you sue the shit out of them- isn’t that what kavanaugh recommended ?
Thank you for sharing your story. What a horrible ordeal that you did not deserve.
