Kulyk legally entered the U.S. in late 2023 along with his wife, 38, and daughter, who’s now 5. The family was sponsored by U.S. citizens as part of the Uniting 4 Ukraine program, a humanitarian program set up in April 2022 to allow Ukrainians fleeing Russia’s war to live and work in the U.S. on “parole.”
Once the initial two-year parole period expires, entrants can file for re-parole to remain in the country longer. That’s exactly what Kulyk says he did. His wife and daughter’s applications were approved. But his remained pending.
He said he was putting groceries in his car on Jan. 1 when he was approached by three ICE agents.
“I explained to the ICE officers that the war was killing people, that my wife had a disability, that it was violence, terrorism which we had escaped from but one of them began to laugh,” Kulyk told The Daily Beast. “I asked why he was laughing and I was told that he was pro-Russian, wanted Russia to win the war.”
“I asked why he was laughing and I was told that he was pro-Russian, wanted Russia to win the war.”
Not surprised at all.
I think some ICE goons should be deported to Russia, let’s see how they like being conscripted when they get there.
Is it possible that some of them are hired Russian mercenaries?
Doubtful, Russia needs all their men for war.
They’re probably sending the people too stupid to be fed to the meat grinder
See the video of the guy that couldn’t figure out why the water bottles were frozen? No such thing.
it also doesn’t make sense.
“I want russia to win the war,that’s why I’m sending reinforcements to ukraine”
They’re not thinking that far ahead and likely give zero shits either way.
I bet they chose to tell this guy they support Russia just to make arresting this guy more abusive.
Russiaboos think that no amount of bodies or western equipment is actually hurting Russia, only delaying the inevitable complete capitulation. He’s happy he gets to, in his eyes, send a Ukrainian to die pointlessly.
They want immigrants out more. You know take care of byour own house first.
Important to remember that ICE is and has always been a bipartisan enterprise, and in fact, go look up who first appointed Tom Homan.
All the violations of liberty and building of the surveillance state have been bipartisan.
The division is not liberal vs conservative, but rather capitalist vs worker.
This new brand of authoritarians are so far from capitalism anyway lol. We’ve got a kleptocracy like Russia. There is not capitalism here.
Capitalism is simply private ownership of the means of production. That’s literally the only defining attribute. Theoretically capitalism works best with complete market freedom, but since that inevitably leads to monopoly, the most successful capitalist nations have always had a strong regulatory state to prevent the ruling class from destroying the world in their greed-fueled feeding frenzies.
Yes, key characteristics include profit motive and competitive markets driving economic exchange. You and Milton Friedman bot acknowledge it needs strong regulatory guardrails and income redistribution to prevent the capitalists from taking over the government/world. Citizens united (2010). So back to my argument of ‘no capitalist, kleptocracy’. We barely have a functioning government to enforce ownership and they are stealing everything they can. It’s a kleptocracy. or as I like to call it 7 monopolies in a trench coat. trump just took 10% of Intel because he could. The capitalist is the government, the government is the capitalist, we no longer have competitive markets, people no longer work for profit they work to not starve. Capitalism is dead. Long live what ever this shit is.
Kleptocracy, as you call it, is literally just capitalism functioning as intended. Since the end of feudalism there has never been separation between capitalist and government, because they’ve always had control of the means of production, hence control over the economy, hence control over whoever the fuck they want. There have been some few times in history where workers were able to secure rights for themselves in exchange for not fully going revolution, but in between those times, capitalists have always tried to crawl back those rights and secure even more for themselves, and they do it legally, by owning the media and the politicians. This is basic political-economy theory stuff, not some Milton Friedman Neo-capitalist apologia bullshit. Literally none of his ideas have led to the betterment of societies, can’t we just abandon Chicago school of economics already?
Nothing had gotten better since when now? Like nothing at all in humanity has improved since what year?
Not really dude those workers are voting their rights away on behalf of the capitalist lmao
Yep it’s been broken for years. As soon as they started enforcing a 100-mile border zone, I knew something was rotten. But what’s been happening lately highlights that immigration needs fixed more than ever. Write or call your congressman tell them we need immigration reform now before more people die or have their lives ruined for no good reason. It seems like congres needs to be told what to do by enough of their voters or they do nothing. The main thing they’re worried about above all else is getting reelected.
no other explanation needed, ICE ARE NAZIS. you dont laugh at a war torn family/father unless a your pure unadulterated evil Nazi
I know this is a serious story, but that headline had me wondering when the war got to Walmart.
I thought I was having a stroke.
Heck they only got the job because as one of putins referal getting them to the top of the list.
To fellow Ukrainians who haven’t realized this yet: migrants are not “they”, it’s our friends and family, and making any migration means-tested and bureaucratic is bullshit that will make “illegals” out of random people, out of you, and cause great suffering. Let’s build international solidarity with migrants and refugees from all countries, in all countries.
More desperate women to spend those ICE paychecks on.
I am not really supprised that fascist ICE agents are on the russian side of things. Just like their dear lord Trump.
Walmart is involved in the Ukraine war now?
No, this is the Georgia (country) / Georgia (US State) thing all over again.
Every US Walmart has a Ukraine inside of it, this particular one just happened to also be at war.
How many stories like this do we need to get through to the people who say “just obey the law and you have nothing to worry about”?
“Were not against immigration, just illegal immigration”
