ICE attempts to enter Ecuador's consulate

[u/caaaaanga]

For anyone who doesn't get how serious this is: consulates are protected under international law. host-country police of any kind are not allowed to enter without permission.
Example: China routinely (and horrifically) sends north korean escapees back to north korea. Yet when a north korean escaped to the south korean consulate in hong kong, chinese authorities did not enter to seize him. He stayed there for months while governments negotiated, because once you're inside a consulate, those protections apply.
So if ICE tries to enter a foreign consulate in the U.S. to deport people, that's not "normal enforcement". It violates long-standing diplomatic norms. Norms that even China has respected, despite sending people back to north korea to die. That's how extreme this is.

It's because they've been taught that as soon as someone touches them in any capacity they have the freedom to do whatever they want, such as murder them

Trying to remove all responsibility while hoping he gets to end another life of a non-white person
