'To the Head of ICE, (wherever the fuck your office is--probably spotless and humming with soft tyranny)

just heard joan esposito (from wcpt). she found it on janet dahl's fb page (remember steve dahl? his wife) dahl shared this letter from sierra wine guy on her fb page and wrote: "Hey MAGA- this is what you voted for. Irrational cruelty and idiocy. A donkey show for the witless who think their food picks itself, their vineyards thrive on American labor. Where are the murderers and rapists Trump promised to round up? Tax paying, law abiding dads, moms and grandparents seem to be the soft targets. Congratulations, MAGA."


here's the letter to ice from sierra wine guy on fb:



To the Head of ICE,
(wherever the fuck your office is—probably spotless and humming with soft tyranny)
Let me cut through the bullshit.

You took Moises Sotelo. Dragged him off in the gray stink of dawn like he was some two-bit gangster and not the vineyard saint he’s been for damn near 30 years. A man who’s probably done more for this country’s roots—literally—than the entire blue-suited parade of baboons sniffing their own asses in DC.

You want the truth? You boys aren’t hunting criminals. You’re picking fruit from the wrong tree. Moises wasn’t hiding. He wasn’t running. He was living—a loud, proud, hard-working American life. The kind this country supposedly worships. Up before the rooster. Tending vines. Building something real while half the country plays influencer and the other half pretends they’re CEOs from their fuckin couch.

This man creates something. Do you understand what that means? In a world of takers and fakers, Moises put his back into the earth and made it bloom. Grapes don’t give a shit about birth certificates. They respond to sweat. To care. And that man cared—for the land, his workers, his family. Three kids. Five grandkids. A goddamn legacy in boots.
And you cuffed him like a dog.

Tell me—do you sleep better at night now? Big win for freedom, huh? You got the guy who tithes at church and pays his taxes. Real dangerous fella. Meanwhile, half the tech bros up the road couldn’t find their conscience with GPS and a sherpa.
You people say, “we’re just doing our jobs.”

So was every prison guard at every gulag and camp the world’s ever known.

Don’t talk to me about the law. The law is only holy when it’s just. Otherwise it’s just dressed-up cruelty with a clipboard.

Let him fucking go.

And maybe—just maybe—start asking yourself who the real criminals are.
