We have ICE using their personal cell phones to record themselves shooting citizens and calling them a “fucking bitch” while bystanders record from multiple angles, and the government calls the murder victim a “domestic terrorist.”
But yes, buying some body cameras could fix things. Shame they tend to run out of battery or malfunction so often.
Are we still investigating the mayor, the governor, and dead victim’s partner but not the ICE agent?
Body cams are kind of pointless at that point.
This is a form of resistance that is well within my risk tolerance.
your list of elected officials is too short. but yes
There’s apparently an internal memo authorizing ICE to forcibly enter homes without a warrant, consent, or emergency.
“No, you cannot have a copy of your authorization This is very embarrassing and unconstitutional. You can see why we cannot have it out in the open.”
Ugh, just saw reports of ICE using a 5 year old as bait, and picking up kids on their way to school.
I think they are closing school for the rest of the week. Instead of snow days they have ice days I guess. It’s pathetic.
Most of the time, if your employer refuses to give you an instruction in writing, there is a bad reason that they don’t want to write the instruction.
Can you imagine how some of the details of “1984” would have been different if generative AI existed when George Orwell was writing?
ICE detains 5 year old to use as bait to catch father. ICE looking more and more like gestapo….
ETA
the agent took the child out of the still-running vehicle, led him to the door, and directed him to knock on the door, asking to be let in, in order to see if anyone else was home — essentially using a five-year-old as bait."

Pussy press. “The woman, Nekima Levy Armstrong, also appears to have darker skin in the altered image.” Yeah. It appears that way because it is.
we do have tomorrow cancelled out here. air temp of ~-22 or -25, and wind chill down below -40.
likely would have been called that way even without the goon squads. but an easier call with that element snatching people
Stay safe and warm.
Folks are trying to pull off a general strike today in Minneapolis:
I don’t understand looking at the first picture and not think that ICE is doing something wrong. I don’t understand looking at the 2nd picture and think that that ICE agent shouldn’t go to jail.
ICE is a layer of nameless bad guys that are carrying out a policy (remove criminal immigrants) that Americans in general support. These things are happening in places that are too distant or foreign to your average American to care about enough to do anything. It’s no until it lands in your back yard that people will act.
The administration is intentionally targeting cities in blue states to keep it that way. They know how to deflect the damage nationally. Locally, public opinion doesn’t matter.
The left is also lacking a leader to rally around and define the alternate narrative to the Trump administration.
Remove immigrants i think is what you meant, I think it’s pretty hard to argue the 5 year old was a criminal.
