🧊IMSPARK: Justice Rooted in Ethics🧊

🧊Imagine... Justice Rooted in Ethics🧊

💡 Imagined Endstate:

A nation where Indigenous and Native voices are heard as moral compass points, not sidelined. A society that understands no human is illegal because what makes us different does not make us dispensable.

💥 What’s the Big Deal:

ICE is now offering up to $50,000 in signing bonuses to fill roles like deportation officers, investigators, and attorneys, framed within a recruiting message urging young people to serve the nation with honor. But when patriotism is paired with payment, the line between service and mercenary work blurs🛡. From an Indigenous perspective, this raises more than strategic questions, it raises moral alarms🪶. No human is illegal. What makes a people unique should never be used as justification for exclusion or removal. The forced enticement of young people into systems that may erode the liberty of others, especially immigrants and Indigenous descendants, threatens the spirit of our shared humanity🌍.

True patriotism is not a contract you sign with a dollar amount. ⚖ Justice is not transactional. And  compassion must be the foundation of civic service, not compliance born of desperation. The U.S. Constitution speaks to liberty and equality⚖️, ideals that should not be bypassed for a paycheck. When public service becomes privatized power, we risk training enforcers, not guardians. 🚫. The solution is not silence or complacency. It’s a renewed ethic that honors freedom, refuses to reduce people to policy targets, and insists that liberty must never be for sale. 

Patriotism is grounded in ethics, constitutional promise, and mutual respect—not recruitment bonuses.
